We Will Help You to Save Safely ;jflrtrbrr Stagings ana Crust Company SHANK SCORED BY HOLTZMAN BEFORE WOMEN Nomination Held as Illegal as Hartman’s by Former Democratic Mayor. The nomination of Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican candidate for mayor, “Is just as illegal as Hartman's,” declared John W. Holtzman to cue of the largest crowds of women who have attended a political meeting this campaign at the second Democratic tea, at the home of Grace Julian Clarke, 113 Soutn Audubon Bo&d, yesterday afternoon. Boyd M. Balaton, Democratic nominee for mayor, was the principal speaker. Another tea was held this afternoon at the Woman's Department Club, Meridian and Seventeenth streets. Thursday Afternoon another will be held at Mrs. Haary uomlskey s home, 643 Warren Street, and on Saturday afternoon another Will be held In McClain's Hall, Hoyt and State streets. Bach meeting will be addressed by well-known Democrats. Mr. Balston, in his address, emphasized the fact that he has conducted his campaign up to date on as high a plane "as possible under the circumstances.” He pointed out that ( the people of Indianapolis are stoekuQlders in the city government and are deciding the company under which they desire to invest their ballot. RALSTON B ANKS ON SINCERITY. *‘My motto is truth snd sincerity,*’ he said. "And I am standing for those things only before the election which 1 can stand for utter the election as well. I advocate general Improvements In all parts of the city—ln such parts as the property owners desire them; so long as they pay for them themsleves. I do not champion general Improvements, inasmuch as 1 believe the general taxation burden is far too heavy on the citizens now without any additional assessments. We are already too greatly burdened with taxation.’’ In (discussing his candidacy Mr. Ralston said tuat even if he were not a candidate hints* If he would be actively engaged in behalf of any honorable man who was opposing either Mr. thank or any man of his caliber. He declared that It Is not a party campaign, but one in which party affiliations are being laid aside entirely. “The people know —know It inherently —that Mr. thank Is not the man qualified to be put in the mayor's chair," declared L. Ert Slack. "In fact, he positively admits this fact himself. He makes himself out one thing to one man, and another to the next one. He tries to please everybody all at the same time. This manner is representative of himself. And In some respects his talks are exceedingly dangerous.” HOLDS PROBE EXNECES6AKY. \ir Holtzman commented on the fact that Mr. Shank has asked the Church Federation to investigate hia record, together with that of Mr. Ralston, declaring such an investigation to be uuecessary. as it had been made during his administration as mayor and which report condemned him. “Mr. Shank, I Lelieve, during his campaign for mayor prior to his election, did have the support of the majority of the chnrcbgolng people. And be would have their support now, if he had conducted himself right," the speaker said. That every precinct carried by Mr. Hartman was carried by Mr. Shank, and that ever}' precinct carried by Mr. Shank was carried by Mr. Hartman, was pointed out by Mr. Holtzman, who declared that Mr. Shank’s election was just as Illegal as Mr. Hartman's, inasmuch as he coerced Democrats into voting for him at the primaries: whereas. Mr. Hartman went to th# polls with Frank Francis, who was not a legal voter and assisted him in voting. “In fact. Mr. Shank has boasted openly about the Democratic votes which nominated him," he said, “and his nomination Is Just as Illegal as Mr Hartman's. He had a plurality of about a thousand votes. These may easily be accounted for. They were cast by repeaters. Democrats and men who were bought with whisky—and It was stolen whisky at that” Mrs. Maude Swift Anthony, Democratic candidate for city council, said that the women are refusing to be fooled any longer by the good husband story. GOOD HCSBAND NOT EN'OCQH. “While being a good husband Is a strong attribute it is not enough for the man who is going to be mayor of this great city,” she said. “Mr. Shank had the same faithful wife when he was mavor before. She couldn t keep him from running away then, and I don t see how she is going to do it now." Mrs. Martha Yoh Mareon, Democratic candidate for city clerk, drew a parallel of a mother sending for the best medical assistance for her sick child and in the woman choosing the best man for mayor. “A mother is not going to choose the physician for her sick baby because he gets along best with his wife: nor are the women going to choose a man for mayor because he has a good wife and because he received the majority of votes In tho primaries," she said "A sick city doesn't need that kind of a mayor. If women didn't know the truth they might be fooled: but they know the truth, and these so-called gospels of truth are falling on deaf ears.” Mrs. Edward F. Hecker declared that she was voting for the Democratic ticket although she was a Republican, because she believed It was going "to save the city money.” She pointed out that the present school board has endeavored to spend all the money It could lay Its hands on ever since It went Into office. "It has put up elegant, palatial buildings on the north side, saying that plainer buildings could not be erected because the children were not used to having them. And then said that they did not have enough money to make absolutely necessary Improvements In certain other parts of the city. Mrs. Clarke, attacked the administration of Shank; his boards and council. She cited the Knabe murder as a reflection on the city and the Shank administration as a monument of Inefficiency. Thomas Colburn. Democratic candidate for city council, also made a short address. Mrs Grace Jackson Bodenmlller was chairman. traction hits truck.

NO PARTY LINES IN CAMPAIGN, SPEAKERS SAY Ralston Says Partisan Fight Not Advisable in Local Election Contests. L. ERT SLACK GIVES TALK The contention that party differences are not an issue in the present city campaign was stressed by Democratic speakers last night. Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic nominee for mayor, declared at each of his meetings that he is being careful not to say anything that will hurt the feelings of Republicans and expressed his appreciation of the fact that “hundreds and thousand of Republicans are coming to my support.” L. Ert Slack, one of the principal Democratic speakers, dwelt at some length on the subject. "Party differences are\t>t an Issue in this campaign,” Mr. Sir a said, “If you had two parties, one Lemogratic and the other Republican, there would be a straight out partisan fight. There is not as much politics in a municipal campaign as some people let on. We are better off without so much politics.” These statements were made at a meeting at Tenth street and Brookside avenue, where both Mr. Slack and Mr. Ralston spoke. Mr. Ralston told his audience at this meeting that it Is too late in the campaign to go into a detailed discussion of city affairs. He said the question before the voters is the sincerity of the candidates. “I intend to keep faith with you in return for your faith in me,” ae said. "I am not going to say a word that will hurt the feelings of Republicans. People are not Interested In mud-sling- ! lng. I would be perfectly willing for you to answer the question >f what kind of a government you are going to have. You will demand an honest, economical government and I am for that kind of a government. Search your own minds and souls and hearts next Tues- i day and vote your sentiments.” Mr. Ralston repeated his challenge to Samuel Lewis Shank, his opponent, to ' t tell the real reason why he resigned. “If It had been for the good of the; laboring people he would say so,'* he said. "He is afraid to tell why he re- j signed.” Mr. Slack at this meeting, continuing 1 his remarks, said that the next four years ; will be no time for Joking on the part of public officials, but that the next mayor must be a serious and a courageous man. He said that it was not sinister influences that caused Mr. Shank's failure as mayor, but his own weakness. ' A reference was made to Newton W. j Harding, who declared in a speech last night that a number of the members of the committee of 100 back of the Republican movement for Ralston were not registered and that all of them live north ol Washington street. He declared that Mr, Harding himself lives north of Washington street and that "he Is simply trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the people of the south side.” He declared that Mr. Shank “is a Democrat on the south side and a Republican on the north side.” In addressing a meeting of women at 277 Randolph street, Mr. Ralston said that the franchise was given to the women by both the great political parties In order that they might bring about better government. He said the present campaign is a test of the women of Indianapolis. "The woman's vote he saM, comes nearest to the home and I look to the welfare of the home and to the boys and girls of the city. The vote ought to register the sentiment of the homes. It Is the hope of the voters that the sentiment of the home shall be reflected in the city government. The home should not be molested unless the inhabitants are encroaching on the rights of their neighbors." Mr. Ralston said he hoped to appoint a woman as assistant market master. Hs declared that the market needs cleaning up and that it will be cleaned up. He said that Mr. Shunk has been declaring he had the inside of the market painted twice, while as a matter of fact the work was done by the standholders and then a rebate given them by the city. He pointed out that the law requires that the proceeds of the market shall be used to Improve the market, but that this money has been diverted to other purposes. He said it should not be so diverted. He also promised to Improve the city hospital, but made no definite statement as to the manner in which it will be Improved. In referring again to his Republican support Mr. Ralston said that "if you are Democrats you should be proud of the fact that many hundreds of Republicans are coming to our aid." He said it takes something to shake Republicans loose from their party. In speaking of Mr. Shank's resignation from the office of mayor he declared that he did not believe In deserting the ship while it was in trouble. He said that there never would have been a victory for the nllies if Marshal Foch had turned back when put to tho test. He repeated his demand that Mr. Shank tel! the real reason why he resigned, insisting tha' if he does not he has no right to as the support of the voters. “Mr. Shank says a man with common horse sense could run the city,” he remarked “I do not care to attempt to
