M. jflmfjtr ffeatofhgg antt Crust Company RALSTON PLAYS POKER-POOR GAME-SHANK Day in Jail for Each Game Played in Would Mean a Life Term, He Shouts. “*Xf Ralston had to stay In Jail a day tor svery time he played poker he would hare to stay there for the remainder of Ms life. I know he does, and he Is a poor poker player, at that,” declared Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican nominee for mayor, in a bitter counter-attack upon his Democratic opponent, B. M. Raltson, at the Shank home, 3547 East Washington street, last evening. Mr. Shank was answering charges ■which Mr. Ralston and his supporters hare made to the effect that Mr. Shank Is backed uply by the gamblers, the bootleggers and other corrupt interests. The name of William Armitage frequently has been connected with the Shank campaign. This, Mr. Shank said, was part of the policy of opposition. “When they are for you they mention •My persons whose names look good in print, but if they are against you they mention only a few of your supporters,” he said. “Right here, I want to say that I guarantee neither Bill Armitage nor any other man will run a public gambling house in Indianapolis if I am elected. Bill is here and he can hear me, and he knows that I mean it,” said the candidate. “If Ralston wants to get personal, I can tell him a few things. Look at that man Cocky Shea, who is one of his supporters. And still they keep harping about gamblers being for Lew Shank.” Rain prevented the Republicans from carrying out their plans for the last big lawn party at the Shank home, so it was postponed until next Friday evening. Despite the bad weather, several hundred persons went to the residence and an impromptu sneaking program was arranged for the benefit of as many as could crowd into the house and on to the porches. Mr. Shank promised that no city employees will go joy riding in municipal automobiles when be is mayor and that he does not intend to use a city car himself. He said he sands upon his frequent assertions that while he is for public improvements, he will not force them upon citizens where a majority does not want them. “The opposition sneeringly remarks there |was no reference to the last Shank administration in the platform,” said Taylcfr E. Groninger, one of the Shank leaders. “There could have been During that administration there was no Increase in public utility rates. There have been many increases since. He improved the fire department to such a state that fire insurance rates were reduced and saved the people $200,000 annually in insurance premiums. The city hospital was the best in the country at that time. He started the track elevation and ha came out of the city hail wihout one dollar of dishonest money.” WOMAN PRESIDES AT MEETING. Mrs. Julia C. Henderson, secretary of the women's organization of the Republican city committee, presided. Mrs. Shank was introduced and spoke briefly. Others who occupied the platform were Charles Hutchison, Ed Mcßride and E. B. Ryan, Democrats; Mrs. R. C. Huggins, John Carrick, W. E. Henderson and Walter W. Wise and John E. King, Republican nominees for city councUmen as well as Mrs. M. B. Spellman, Republican women’s city chairman and Mrs. Irma Byrum, president of the women's division of the Sbank-for-Mayor Club.
