MARION CLUB SHANK RALLY. ( WHOOPS IT UP Big Crowd Hears Bookwalter 3lake Strong Appeal for Party Regularity. ‘DICK AND DEI/ SCORED A can for Republican party regularity hi the municipal election next Tuesday to the end that there might not be heralded from one end of the Nation to the other the news that Indianapolis, after giving him a 20.000 majority last fall, hns now turned its hack upon President 1 Warren G. Harding, and lest the Demoerau get an entering wedge with which to drive home u victory in the county anu Mate elections next year was sent abroad by speakers at the Marion Club rally last night. Charles A. Bookwalter delivered a plea for the city to be saved from the "sinister Influence of a venal newspaper.” Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican nominee for mayor, as on the night before, entertained his crowd less and talked what Mr. Bookwalter termed “good common horse sense,” much of the time. The meeting, plainly, was designed by Republican leaders to be the nucleus of an eleventh hour attempt to put squarely up to members of the Republican party a clear cut Issue between Republicanism and Democracy and between tha Indianapolis News and a municipality nntrammelled by what speakers termed the “sinister Influence” of “invisible govern treat" from a foreign controlled “renal newspaper.” BINGHAM OPENS MEETING. Reraster A.. Bingham, president of the club, opened the meeting with this remark : ) 'This campaign has been steeped In personalities and it Is time that we Republicans should discuss the real Issue. It is ever thus —an issue between the Republican and the Democratio party. "Our enemies have adopted the words of our great Republican Bresident, T prefer a uardboiled Democrat to a yellow Republican.’ But, let me ask. would he net prefer a good Republican to a yellow Republican or a hardbotUA Democrat? “It U Important that we should conBuct ourselves so that we can say oi flection day, ‘I am a real Republican. It can not be said ever, at any time, that the eliction of a Democrat was a Republican success.” Mr. Bookwalter opened his appeal for regularity with the statement: "I don't believe that there ever has come upon the stage of American politics a man who : has so impressed himself upon the people of the Nation and the people of all the other nations of the tgorld as has Warren j G. Harding.” The crowd stopped him tgain with cheering. Continuing, he said the result ;>f the campaign undoubtedly , would have a national effect. “A Democratic victory will be hailed throughout the country as a change of, sentiment, especially since this city gave Mr. Harding such an overwhelming majority last fall. WARNS AGAINST DEMOCRATIC VICTORY. "A Democratic victory at Indianapolis, the present point of the pyramid, may not destroy this great Republican structure we so laboriously struggled to build up but it would damage It,” he said. “I ga >- 1’ would be damaging to have It heralded all over the country that Indinapolls, the capital city cf this great, pivptal Hoosier State had gone Demo cratic.” fe M<n ar.(l women of the Republican of the’ political importance of the present struggle, “notwithstanding the chatter of the evening soothsayer—l jjannot tor the life of me say ’truthsayer—notwithstanding tbit this raper every night of this campaign hes been saying that no party issue is involved.” He said that he had been instructed to “hew to the line.” but "I angnot going to d'> it." From his remarks it developed tbst he must have been asked not to devote quite so much time as usual to bla keenly satirieal discussion of the “venal newspaper” which he said ha<j attacked him all bis adult life. OLD MENACE STILE AT WORK. ■“Still after thirty-four years of life In this community,” he said, “I dare not take the platform or express my honest convictions either as a public official or public citizen without being subjected to the scurrilous attacks of this sheet. "When any Republican attempts to fight back—and 1 cannot help but fight back becunse that Is the way I am built—we read in the Indlanap—no, I promised I would ‘hew to the lino' —this sheet published In the evening, down on West Washington street says that ‘I indulged In vituperous attacks and no arguments whatsoever.’ ” Mr. Bookwalter maintained that the evening newspaper has not advanced a single reason why Boyd M. Ralston Democratic candidate, would make a good mayor, but had spent all its effort In assailing Mr. Shank. "W have heard of no arguments except that ‘the underworld will get you If you don’t watch out.’ “ As other evidences of what be termed the hypocrisy on :he part of the "venal newspaper," he cited the fact that some ptf the men upon whose tralia it camped night and day in times when they were not supporting its candidate, now are supporting Mr. Kaiitoa. and are not mentioned in an unfriendly way by the paper. “Boor Old Bill" Kisaell was one of those named. On the other hand, he said, “Mr. Bill Armltage was on their side in 1905 and they didn't say a word about him then.” lie told how Bill Armltage wascalled into the Nqws office in 1912 and asked to deliver the Twelfth ward for William Howard Taft, and said that he delivered. HOPED FOR BETTER DAYS. Declaring that be had brought his own ■on up with the constant admonition that he should always and forever have the courage to stand for hia own opinions against the "sinister influence” of this newspaper, he appealed to the mothers and fathers of Indianapoiis to save the city from the menace. He asked that there might be more men and women with the courage to stand against the evil for the sake of the future of the city. "But, they all kotow. They all bend the knee, they all stoop low. From the Stotehouse to the courthouse, and on down to the city hall, If you want peace you have to buy It. Buy it on the bended knee. If you want peace you must bow your bead In humility, wait for the word from on high and when it comes murmur meekly. ‘Me. too.’ ” The community must rid itself of this evil power, be said, so that when the fine boys and girls of today grow to manhood and womanhood they will not be compelled either to undergo the Simon Degree leashlngs of the monster or "bow down, surrender, part company with self respect,” in order to aspire to and to attain a realization of any reasonable political aspirations they may hare, a This "sinister influence.” he said, has “been governor for twelve years. “Just recently they had one of onr own political faith who appointed so many reporters off of their staff that 1 flared there would have to be established a bread line to feed them all when this Governor went ont of office. And right i now they are trying to get another one j on the school board.” The story of the News’ suppression or the death of a man named James at a •tud poker table In the old Cleveland Club, operated by Jerry Casey and Cocky the* dnrfnr the administration of John
Thousands Killed by Motor Vehicles in United States WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Nine thousand, ono hundred three persons were killed in the United States by automobiles and other motor vehicles except motorcycles during 1920, the census bureau announced today. This represents a death rate of 10.4 per 100,000* in population; is 1 per cent higher than the motor vehicle fatalities in 1919.
W. Holtzman, whom he termed “the little joss god” of the paper, was related once more by Mr. Bookwalter as evidence of how the “sinister influence” attempted to cover up all evidence of vice and crime when It served its purposes. Mr. Shank declared that he has yet to find a neighborhood in Indianapolis where be could not speak and get a cordial reception. He said his opponent could not say as much. Three of his women friends reported to him that Ralston's “pink teis” of this week have been “worse than any funeral.” and that he could not be convinced that he was not already elected. REPLIES TO MR. DEERY. To the affidavit introduced Monday evening by .Tames E. Direry, Democratic speaker, alleging that Mr. Shank owed $87.14 for turkeys bought for the public turkey sale during his administration, Mr Shank replied by waving a document watch he said was an affidavit from “Mr. and Mrs. Kelly” to the effect that Ralston had cheated them out of $67 In a real estate deal and they never had been able to collect it. As for the turkeys, he said the man who made the affidavit was told to weigh the birds himself and send Mr. Shank a bill, which was paid. Three weeks later the man appeared and claimed he was “SSS short In his accounts and the only wsy he could account for It was that he had cheated himself in weighing those turkeys.” Commenting npon the Indorsement of Mr. Ralston by his brother, Samuel 1L Ralston, former Governor, Mr. Shaak declared that the Governor refused to back up the Shank police force with State troops during ths street car strike and advised Mr. Shank and his chief of police, Martin Hyland, to have "the poHoe Ehoot Into the crowds.” The Governor even refused to lend State support after It was pointed out to him that policemen have nu legal right to so use their firearms. while State troopa had, he said. Mr. Ralston watted until after an election was held and then brought in the troops, Mr. Shank charged. DICK AND DEE BACK CP. He related how after the News hart sent word to him when he was mayor that the city was to be cleaned up “Dick and Del” recalled their orders when Mayor Shank Insisted upon starting with the Columbia and University Clubs. He had no regrets for his four years as mayor, he sail. He had made mistakes and expected he would make some more during the next four years, “being merely a hurnnu being.” How his administration reduced taxes S3OO,(E>O during its last year, made no temporary loans in four years and advo“DANDERiNE” Grows Thick, Heavy Hail 35-cent Bottle Ends all Dandruff, Stops Hair Coming Out

CHICAGO ACTRESS ALL FED UP ON GERMAN HUBBY Arma Roma Spellman Oesterle Seeks Divorce in Berlin. BERLIN, Nov. 2.—" Herr Oesterle is a peach of a home wrecker and as a husband be Is a genlns of deception," declared Anna Roma Spellman Oesterle, Chicago actress, today In discussing her divorce suit against her well known German husband. A faint smile flickered across the wife’s face and she appeared to be bearing up very well under domestic tragedy. Then she poured out a most astounding tale about her husband promising to marry at least forty girls. "I wonder,” said Arma, reflectively, "If he stung them all the same way he did me. Anyway, I bet none of them trusted him as implicitly as I did. Oh, I was the original little girl in white. I got one thing ont of the wreck and that Is a sense of humor. Laughter is better than tears. I have learned. BIG FOOL TO TRUST HIM. "T was a fool to trust that man but we all have to learn.” Mrs. Oesterle has been ill In a private hospital. Her troubles have led to a nervous collapse but she Is better now. So far her fight to recover $40,000, out of which, she declares, her husband defrauded her. has been plucky but unsuccessful. At the present rate of exchange, $40,000 Is worth nearly $8,000,000 Germna marks. All of this money did not belong to Miss Spellman. Some of It, she says, came from Intimate friends. In telling of her husband’s premises, Miss Spellman laughed occasionally. "It is hard to believe that an American girl could be so gullible,” she said. “I fell for his mushy stuff like any oldfashioned girl, would. I deserve all I got. He carried me off my feet with his bombastic, romantic love-making. He actually became so mushy he kissed my
mother every time he saw he*. He sure played us like a flute. / "I never saw a person with such nerve. Three weeks ago when I met him he actually tried to make love to me. I told him what I thought of him and my only regret is that my vocabulary of cuss words was limited. “I am sure the German courts will give me justice. 1 have a little book In which Oesterle kept his accounts and olso canceled checks for $1,300. I believe that I will get all the money back and my freedom aB well. “As for freedom, I shall shout for Joy when I get that." HOWE ESTATE APPORTIONED Books Given Library, Manuscripts to Boston Society. Under ths terms of the win of the late Daniel Wait Howe, former Jndge of Superior Court, room 2, which was probated late yesterday, the greater part of the estate goes to Mrs. Inez H.
