SHANK LINKS UP DELAVAN SMITH WITH HARTMAN In Speech at Irvington Candidate Declares the Two Are Alike. MORE ABOUT GAMBLING Delavan Smith, directing owner of the Indianapolis News, should have his name iinked with J. Herbert Hartman, Kepubllcan nominee for city judge, involved in the Francis confession scandal, Instead of Samuel Lewis Shank because Smith and Hartman are alike, declared Mr, Shank In a speech before more than 500 persons who waited In the Irvington theater until after 10 o’clock to hear him last night. “Who is this owner of the News?," Inquired Mr. Shank. “Delavan Smith. Delavan Smith who lives up at Lake Forrest, 111. Delavan Smith and Herb Hartman are alike. They ought to be talking about Smith and Hartman Instead of Shank and Hartman because Smith and Harcman are alike. Why are they alike? Because they both have been Indicted in Federal Court” Crowds greeted Mr. Shank in two Invasions of territory which the Democrats have been claiming. INVENTED GAME OF SPIT -IN-THE-EVE. Mr. Shank hayed the Indianapolis News, and time after time reiterated his charge that Boyd M. Ralston, his Democratic opponent. Is a gambler. He asked the voters if they had noticed that the News has nothing to say sbout the qualifications of “its candidate,” Mr. Ralston. “No, all they do is iambast Lew Shank. They can’t find anything good to say about Ralston. They cam't say that he hasn’t gambled with all the known gamblers In this town. They don't dare to say be hasn't because they know I’ll get affidavits from dozens of gamblers who have pleysd with him. Say, they say that Ralston invented this game called *apit-ln-the-eye.' ” Several Ralston supporters whom Mr. Shank said were either gamblers or men with police records or other unsavory reputations, were named by the candidate. He mentioned Thomas 8. Meeker. John W. Friday, Jerry Casey, “Mr. John Shea,” Denny Bush and Dr. Frederick Crum. “Don’t vote for Law Shank for mayor, as a favor to me,” he began. “I believe if you were in my place you would not want it that way. I don't want sympathy. I'm Just asking for your vote because I believe I am better qualified than Boyd M. Ralston and you've got to choose one of us. It probably would have boen better for you if you had gotten Mr. Thomas C. Howe as your nominee for mayor. I expect Mr Ilowo —I say this elsewhere in Indianapolis as well as out here in Irvington—l expect Mr. Howe probably was the finest man who ever ran for oit'ice in Indianapolis. But he Isn’t the nominee for mayor, although he had or.e of the finest organisations behind him a man ever had and five or six times as much money as any candidate ever had. “But I'in your nominee for mayor. However, I'm not asking you to vote for

me because I'm a Republican, because 1 believe it is your duty under the constitution of the United States to vote for the mau whom you believe is best qualified. Now, If this man Ralston is better in any way, shape or form than I am then you go vote for him and I’ll take my hat off to him. BETTER QUALIFIED TO BE HATOB. “I .vant you to vote for me because I’m better qualified. I want you to do this because I’m going to be more than Just your mayor. I’m going to be your hired servant and you pick your servants because they can do the Job.’’ Mr. Shank said he feels no doubt that he is going to be mayor. "The only sad part about it is that when you all vote for me every one of you will be ‘undesirable citizens.’ You’ll be classed as ‘undesirable cltlaens' because the Sews will tell you if I win that at last the bootleggers, gamblers and back-alley workers have finally come into their own.” The News always has' not been against Lew Shank, the candidate declared. He said that during his former administration “Mr. Brown and Mr. Smith, wrote my speeches. They passed them on h> Healing. Healing brought them up to me in the mayor’s office. I went down on the elevator with four copies of them, met the reporters out in fr<Xt, gave them three copies and kept odo to read myself. I'm not running ’em that way any more. I m running on my own hook now.’’ “Lew Shank was a wonderful man in those days to the News. Well, I'm the same Lew Shank right now. “Go back over the files of the News In 1911 and 1912. Oh, but I was a wonderful fellow. Y'ou'll find there that I knew more about the water company than Mr. Gelst, more about the gas company than this man Forrest, and more about the street car company than McOownn. Oh, but I was a wonderful fellow I They wrote my speeches then!” Mr. Ralston was charged with going to the south side and teillng the voters that ail the colored people are going to vote for Lew Shank and that they shove white people off of the sidewalks on Indiana avenue and then going down on Yandes street and telling a crowd of negroes: “We drink out of the same cup. We eat the same victuals.” “Ralston and the News are going ronnd the city saying that 1 have charged him with being a rent profiteer. I tell yon people of Irvington that I have not said any such thing. I have said that be was a gambler and the News don't dare deny it.” Mr. Shank said he did not believe in the practicability of the Ralston plan of sending boards into outlying districts to find out what the people want. “We've got a $700,000 city hall down there for the people to go to. We have a board of public works on duty there three days a week to listen to what the people want. If they can t attend to all the business in three da>s I'll get me a bosrd that’ll do business six days a week.” BIGGER rOLICE FORCE NEEDED. It is “Just natural” to have crime and the city will have to have a bigger police force to cope with it, said Mr Shank. Be said there is going to be t different kind of traffic law when he ! mayor, so that business men wll’ uot hare to sit in “that rotten polt'-j court” three or four hours waiting for the court to continue a case when there has been some minor infraction of traffic rules. Mrs. Arthur It. Robinson was cheirman of the Irvington meeting "Mr.
Ralaton has been ridiculing us because we eay something about the horns life of Mr. Shank," she said. “But the home life of Mr. Shank appeals to the women. His home life Is beautiful to behold. Not the slightest discord, ever has entered there. I do not like to indulge in personalities, and yet I wonder if the Democratic candidate can say as much. “Ralston talks about Armltage being back of Mr. Shank. Well, what of it. Mr. Armltage is a citizen and has a right to exercise the suffrage. Do you know who succeeded Lew Shank after his administration. It was Joe Bell. Do you know who succeeded this noble man, Captain Hyland (who was one of the speakers of the evening), as chief of police? It was that notorious Sam Perroit. These people are behind Boyd' Ralston. Surely we do not want to have such an administration as that again.” E. J. Robison dwelt upon Mr. Shank's reputation for honesty and declared “within the last twenty-five years the News hasn't been able to tell the difference between truth and falsehood. It has grown rich and mighty, yet during every day of that twenty-five years It has lived a lie.” Charles L. Hutchison also spoke.
