SHANK FACTION WRANGLES OVER CHAIRMANSHIP Demands Candidate's Mana&gy Get Office—Jewett ' Forces for Kingston. Peace between the warring factions of the Republican party was very dose today with ony ono obstacle regaining to' be overcome, according to reports coming from behind the scenes following a gathering of precinct workers at the home of Samuel Lewis Shank, 3547 East Washington street last evening. The stnmbllng block Is the Identity of the new chairman. The Newe-Jewett crowd wants the organization mantle to descend upon Ernest L. Kingston, vice chairman. ‘ • Dr. F.. E. Hodgin. prlmar/-campaign manager for Mr. Shank, also wants the mantle. Dr. Hodgin has the support of the Sbank wing, but the threat of Mr. Lemntix ' to retain his seat unless the vice chairman is elevated has caused some of the mayoralty candidate's supporters to fall I in with the scheme in the interests of har- ; mony. MAY DELEGATE POWER TO HODGIN. The one ray of hope, in Republican | eyes, is the hint that the Lemnux backers are perfectly willing for Kingston to [ delegate his authority and power to Dr.. Hodgin. Thus while the City Hall would ! have the titular head of the organization, it would be a Shank controlled and managed body. Ip to.the point of obtaining Dr. Hodgin's consent to tlfis scheme things were going lovely. Dr. Hodgin, however,. Is | understood to be heartily opposed to giving up an ambition he has had for many months to be city chairman, in name as well as in leaders were trying to urge upon him the necessity of giving up something in the immediate present for the good that will accrue in the future, it was understood. No word of the stand he finally intends to take has come from Dr. Hodgin since the crisis arose. The hope that through his work as the actual director of the city campaign he may step into* the county chairmanship later is being held out to the campaign manager, one report iudii cated. None of the Shank managers was dcserting Hodgin for Kingston. In some quartets It was said that they intend to 1 stick by Hodgin whatever his decision is. j while from other" sources came hints i that with the time for beginning the j actual work of the campaign at hand it I would be necessary to sacrifice the am- : bitions of one man for the gi neral good of the party ticket. . Persons who were saying this were saVlng that former j Chief of Police George V. Coffin was giving advice which up to last night had been responsible for Dr. Hodgiu's and! termination to stick in the race. Dr. i Hodgln's friends have claimed all along that he, and not Kingston, is assured of enough votes for election, Lemnux will 1 not call the cSfnmlttee until it is abso- | lutely assured which one qf the two will he chosen, it was said last ‘week. WORKERS MEET WITH SHANK. ' Precinct committeemen and workers of j the regular. Shank and Edward J. RobiI son organizations were the guests of Mr. Shank last evening. Between 600 and 700 people gatherd on the Shank front lawn anil heard talks by Mr Hodgin. who i acted as chairman: Mr. Robison, James | Ogden, Arch M. Hall, Ralph Spann, j James H. Lott, William T. Bailey, H. 3 , Herbert Hartman, candidate for city judge, and Mr. Shank. Dr. Hodgin quietly remarked at the opening of the meeting that there would be no discussion of the chairmanship question. Word was passed out to the committeemen two or three days ago that they were to refrain from discussing the problem while at the meeting and practically all followed Instructions. The directions were for them to turn off any questions asked with an answer to the effect that they "had not thought much about It,” or “were not particularly Interested.” The committeemen would not j tell or did not know, exactly where th ! order came from. Anyway, it was effective. Shank leader* regarded the gathering as a triumph, pointing out that the men present constituted the backi bone of every faction in the party who I go out and do things and who get closest ; te the voters. Meanwhile It Is understood that r.emaux stands ready to call the city j committee together Saturday If his suc- | cessor is agreed upon by that time. • Terre Haute May Get Mine Rescue Station Special to The Times.

FARM FAILURES DUE TO FARMER California Economist Says They Must Organize for Cooperative Distribution. NEW YORK, July 19.—"Farmers’ failures have been the farmers' fault.” Joseph Shapiro, the young California economist, sent 100 county agents of the farm bureau federation of New Y'ork back to their constituents on the farms today with this message ringing in their ears. The solution, Shapiro said, lies In cooperative distribution and merchandising. ' "Don’t blame the middleman, the retailer or the profiteer,” Shapiro said, speaking at a dinner given the agents by the North American Fruit Exchange. "The fault is yours. Organize your selling. Advertise. Tell the public: ‘Apples are coming. Potatoes are coming. Buy now and buy In quantities and you can buy cheaply.’ ” t The farmers 1 - problem, according to Shapiro, is to so organize distribution that the retailer can sell with an eye to volume, not margin. this is done, tho farmer will gqt a fair price for his produce and the'consumer will get the produce at a fair price.
