HANDFUL HEARS FINAL SPEECH OF PROF. HOWE Widely Exploited TUg Meeting’ Turns Out a Fizzle. Extreme lack of enthusiasm, considering that it was the last night at the speaking campangn, marked the meetings addressed by Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College and News-Jewett candidate tor the Republican nomination for mayor, Saturday night. While Samuel Lewis Shank was being escorted through downtown streets by a parade of hundreds of automooll*s Mr. Howe was speaking in Mr. Shank's home precinct, ths Second precinct of the Ninth ward. The meeting was In the Ued Men's -Hall, on New York street, near Penny street. Howe headquarters sent out word Saturday that this meet in I was to bo one of the biggest of the evening. Claris '"Adams, former prosecuting attorney, and Judge James A. Ccilius were billed to talk, as well as Mr. Howe. But when the speakers arrived they fonu l a mere Land-' ful of people. When Mr. Ilowe spoke a count of those present totaled just thirty-three, including the three speslters, two reporters. County Assessor Jack Douglas, who was driving Mr. Howe from -faceting to meeting, and one candidate for city councilman. TWO SPEAK AND MEETING ADJOURNS. The meeting was such a dismal failure that after Mr. Howe and Judge Collins had spoken for about five minutes each it was adjourned and the faithful few told to go to the Tuxedo Theater, a block east, where Mr. Howe would speak. Mr. Howe followed a vaudeville act at the theater and in justice to the actor It must be said that he received more applause than the candidate. From the pitifully small size of the erowd which shivered In the open air at Ehelby and Holliday streets tc hear Mr. Howe, It appeared that everybody on the south side was at Fountain Square to hear Shank. Approximately 100 negroes heard Mr. Howe in a church at Shepard and Howard streets and twenty-five negroes waited in a mission at 311 West McCarty street until 11 o'clock to hear the candidate. MO WE SPRINGS new stcpt. One of Mr. Howe's last utterance* was the only new thing he said during the evening. ‘‘When I got into the campaign I made up my mind 1 would not do anything that I’d be .sorry for after the campaign, because I have to live here after the election and I decided that I was not going to tay anything unkind about any of the other candidates. 1 have held to both decisions. I bare told the truth two or three times and that may have hurt but I haven't gone around saying mean things,” said Mr. Howe. “Now when I get to be mayor I'm not going to Invite you to put your muddy feet on my desk. Clean your feet before you come in. It Isn't my desk anyhow and I intend to take care of the city's property. Don’t think that you're not going to be welcome to come to see about civic matters, though.”

HOW CANDIDATES FEEL ON EVE OF PRIMARY VOTE (Continued From Page One.) there Is no danger. They even say they have the judge, prosecuting attorney and the Governor. But don’t let them fool you. They haven't got the people, and the people will insist on honesty. Two members of the grand jury told me this morning that they will Indict if I furnish the evidence, and I will. They' are ssying now that Tom Meeker and Tommy Riley are going to change most of the Democratic boards the last minute and put in rotten boards to steal It. I tell you now that If they do this they (will all b Indicted.” Democratic candidates viewed their chances as follows: EDGAR A. PERKINS—“I believe that I will he nominated by the Democrats of Indianapolis as their candidate for mayor at the primary election Tuesday. “It is true that I entered the race late, but it also is true that little interest was shown by Democrats in the primary until 1 filed. Then, whatever life there baa been In evidence iu the Democratic ranks began to show Itself. Whatever Is left of the Democratic machine began to get busy. Then the machine Democrats seemed to be alarmed lest Democrats should vote for others than Democrats at the primary. * "A It w days after I announced my candidacy I sent to the newspapers, snd tfley printed, the platform upon which I expected to make my race for the office of mayor. Notwithstanding that the other candidates had been ’n the race for weeks, none of them had announced Ju3t what they stood for until after my platform had been published. In my declaration I did not attempt jLo steal Warren G. Harding's 'beet mind,’ but rather declared that if nominated and elected the Democratic party would assume full responsibility for the administration of affairs in Indianapolis. , “I believe that I will be nominated and and if nominated, elected mayor of Indianapolis for the coming four yeare. I say this realizing that the small remnant of the so-called organization is opposed to me and is lined up with Mr. Ralston, my principal opponent. I think that the Democrats are tired of being led to defeat by this same crowd year after year, and I feel that the rank and ffle of the people want a change of affairs in Indianapolis, and that they realize that the only way to bring about a change Is to go to the polls Tuesday and .vote against the machines of both parties and their candidates.” BOYD M. RALSTON—“I. have no doubt whatever as to the outcome of the primary and that I will be nominated by a large majority. The only danger I might be in is through overconfidence on the part of my friends and their failure to register their votes for me.” JOHN W. LOSH—“From what I can find out in my travels over the city a man who lives on the south side should bo easily elected this time. We have not had a mayor who resided south of Washington street or west of Capitol avenue for more than thirty years. So I am firmly of the opinion that as 1 Uve south and have been a hard worker for civic pride snd community welfare that the Democrats sureljTwlll nominate me to lead them to victory this fall. ”“Anotber reason 1 think I will be nominated Is because I never have been mixed up In machine politics and do not bedeve that the voters are going to be fooled by a few men. “I have declared myaelf a ‘white voters' candidate' and have come out itto the open or the question and I firmly believe the voters will give me their support on this basis, f wish to state that I am not against the negro, but against the way he conducts himself. ,“If the Toters are left free to their choice and machine politicians play fair once I will be nominated."

Soo Line Train Leaps Track; 12 Injured ROCKFORD, Minn., May 2.—A dqzea passengers were Injured and nearly 100 more were badly shaken when a Soo line train from Minneapolis, speeding along on a straightaway two miles west of here, was derailed last night. Witnesses declare that tne accident was caused by a broken rail, which snapped as the rear coaches of the train passed over It. Three cars, two Pullmans and an observation car, were thrown from the track in the derailment and rolled over three times, plowing up tho earth at the side of the right-of-way and hurling the passengers from their berths.

FLEET IS KEPT FROM WAR ZONE BY ‘LOGISTICS’ (Continued From Page One.) the only force the world could look to for protection was our Atlantic feet. If the Germans had possessed the nerve and daring to make a dash for t* a open sea; if they had preferred to risk destruction and death rather than accept the humiliation of surrender, I think it is quite possible that enough of their fast battle cruisers could have broken through to play havor before they were overhauled and sunk. In such event the presence of the Atlantic fleet, unengaged and ready for Instant action, would have been the hope and comfort of our allies, and the proof of our good Judgment. GERMANS LACKING IN AUDACITY. After our troops began crossing the Atlantic In large numbers there was always the risk that German cruisers would appear suddenly, attacking and sinking transports. Looking back now I find it difficult to believe that the Germans did not attempt to do this thing. Had they succeeded in even one or two cases it would have meant much to them. They lacked the audacity. As .things obviously approached a climax and victory hung in the balance in 1918, I felt the possibility of a bold venture by the German navy was so great that it must be considered most seriously. It seemed to mo that the Germans were likely to make one splendid dash in a rlsk-overythlng effort to win the war. I dispatched a division of dreadnoughts overseas under the command of Admiral T. 8. Rodgers, with specific instruction# to be vigilant for the appearance of any possible German cruiser, and, at all hazards, to give protection to the American tropp transports. The British fleet and Admiral Rodman's division were based on Scapa Flow. RODGERS PLACED ON BANTRY BAY. If the miracle of es pe had happened, one German raider, i ?e, and In the vicinity of Brest, could have sunk troopships with thousands of men before It could have been sunk, unless powerful dreadnaughts stood between the transports and danger. So Admiral Rodgers’ division was based on Bantry bay, in a position to intercept. ' If we had failed to take this precaution, and an enemy cruiser had eluded the blockade, what would have been my condemnation? Had we through such a neglect or error of Judgment lost the lives of any of our men I could not have forgiven myself, and the country would not have forgiven me. But the Germans were too prudent to make this venture. Under like circumstances, I believe, sooner than make possible an ignominious surrender, each as we witnessed at Seapa Flow, the men of the American • Navy of the British navy would have died in the resolve to at least go down in the last dash against the enemy. QUESTION OF RANK. There was a minor difficulty which was involved in the proposal to send Admiral Mayo and the Atlantic fleet to the North sea. I mention it only to assert emphatically that if considerations of naval strategy, considerations affecting ths common interests, had made it wise to send Mayo and his ships, this particular difficulty would have been brushed aside as a man flicks the ash from his cigar. It lay in the question which naval officers and others raised as to whether Admiral Mayo, beiug senior In command, would displace Admiral Beatty, com-mander-in-chief of the British grand fleet, or be subject to his direction. It was a question of rank which in peace maneuvers would have been a question of much Importance, but in the world's hour of agony and need it mattered far less than other tilings. MAYO EAGER TO GET IN THE GAME. At feast so thought Admiral Mayo, whose only wish was to get into the war zone and to be where the biggest chance lay for a big fight. He would have gone gladly conceding the ranking position to the officer who commanded the largest fleet and who was most familiar with the fighting ground—the North sea. It is one of my regrets that Mayo and Beatty and Rodman did not get the chance to go after the Germans together. I have an Idea that had they been turned loose and told to “go get ’em” they would have found a way. (Another article by former Secretary Daniels will be printed tomorrow.)
