SHANK MAKES CAPITAL OUT OF OTHERS’ TALKS Dilates on Bookwalter and Fleming Revelations of Election Frauds. ADDRESSES 7 MEETINGS Samuel Lewis Shank made the most of the Bookwalter and Fleming revelations of election fraud In speeches before large crowds at seven meetings last tight. Robert Dalton, chairman of the Shank ipeakers’ bureau, estimated that the tumbers hearing Mr. Shank this spring would exceed the numbers attending his meetings. four years ago by at least 50 I per cent. Mr. Shank consulted a throat specialist yesterday after having addressed eight meetings the night before. His throat was found to be slightly affected, but It was announced that he had declined to cancel any speaking engagements. “When thieves fall out honest men get their deserts,” the ex-mayor said at a Fourth ward meeting. Cheers and laughter greeted the sally. “We knew after the primary of 1917 what had happened,” he continued. “We tried in every way to force an Investigation. We had hundreds of affidavits of men who were recorded as voting who had not voted. All the evidence that any grand Jury could desire was ready at band, but the gang controlled court machinery and the prosecutor's ofice. MURDER WILL OUT, PAYS EX-MAYOR. “Charlie Jewett has been able to keep Ms sin bidden for four years, but wrongdoers can not escape punishment. His lot now is dishonor and defeat. The machine is wrecked and Tom Howe will never realize his ambition to cheat the world out of a high place.” The Indianapolis News was the object of several pointed shafts aimed by Mr. Ehank. “The News today says it would be a calamity to nominate and elect me,” he said. “They sang a different tune at the time I retired from public office. I have done nothing since that time, as far as they relate, to show any unfitness for this office. Here is what the Indianapolis News said on Friday, Nov. 2S, 1913, In Its editorial columns: “ ‘The years 1913 to 1914, Inclusive, have been years of progress and transition for Indianapolis. Numerous perplexing questions have arisen during this time. The demands of growth made necessary certain physical Improvements, notable among which was track elevation. Mr. Shank, as mayor, had no Inconsiderable part In the adoption of these plans for this $7,000,000 improvement. HE READS MORE ON SAME LINES. “ ‘The agitation for more equitable fire insurance rates In Indianapolis received his support. The fact that Indianapolis now pays out $250,000 less a year In Insurance premiums Is due in some measure to Mr. Shank's support. " ‘That Indianapolis has not today a free market, a splendid food distribution station, free frt m coercion and the expense of middle men. Is not because Mr. Shank failed In vigor and honesty. He was sincerely attracted to the cheaper food campaign because of the vital manner In which It affected the mass of the people.’ “That, mind you, was printed after I had resigned the mayor's office. The News was supposed to be my friend In those days. It was not. Behind my back they were using their T*“ll-known poison weapons to injure me. But nominally the News was for me. Now I have held no public office since then. I have done nothing to lose public regard. They don’t charge that I have. The News Is aimply hooked up with another crowd now and the lies and slurs they cast upon Lew Shank have no foundation In any sort of sincerity* "The News prostitutes Its honor upon the slightest occasion. One should never believe anything that appears In the News for he may be sure that experts have gone over the matter and sprinkled poison on it wherever the poison of untruth might be concealed. “The News and Charlie Jewett now speak of my lecture tour In vaudeville as though It contained something disreputable. Even the little professor raises his voice in the frantic clamor and he says he is ‘dreadfully in earnest about It, too,’ so there now. “Hear what the News had to say of my lectures on Nov. 23, 1913: ‘The Shank plan of combating the cost of living attracted international attention and he was called to various parts of the United States to deliver addresses on the high cost of living.’ “Much more of the same sort of stuff was carried in the News after I had retired from office, but before the News became a party to the Jewett movement.” •WHAT A DIFFERENCE SHORT TIME MARES.* Mr. Shank quoted from another News editorial praising him for his policy of never ordering street improvements over protests by a majority of the property owners concerned. “What a difference today!” he exclaimed. “The great majority of property owners have fought bitterly to prevent the straightening of East Michigan street at Highland avenue at the expense of the owners. The street car company wants that street straightened to save the expense of tracks spreading. It can not benefit property owners at all. The car company and the city should divide that cost. But after trying hard to force the thing through the board of works finally yielded to political expediency and postponed the matter until after the primary, when, you may rest assured, they will go through with It.” Mrs. Rosa Cooper, 1015 College avenue, paid tribute to Mr. Shank's character In meetings at Thirty-Fourth street and Capitol avenue and at 314 East Fortieth street. “And Mr. Shank la possessed of intelligence and business sagacity,” she said. "Don’t be deceived by propaganda to the contrary. If he wasn't shrewd and capable the corporations who don’t like to play fair would not be bo concerned about beating him. It doesn’t take book learning to discover chuckholes In tha streets." Shank meetings last night wera held at ISO 4 West Tenth street, 1417* Roosevelt avenue, Sixteenth and Ashland, Washington and Capitol, Thirteenth and Illinois, 314 East Fortieth and ThirtyFourth and Capitol. Mr. Shank will speak tonight 'at Raymond and South Meridian streets. Southern avenue and Shelby street. New York street and Miley avenue. Nineteenth street and Martindale avenue, Twenty-Fifth and Oxford streets, Tippecanoe and Toledo streets, 1509 Massachusetts avenue, 3513 East Washington street and 4020 East New York street.
