AID OF SHANK FORCES SOUGHT BY CANDIDATES ‘Hands OfT Primary Policy Not Taken Seriously by Aspirants. EXPECT AID IN FIGHT Christmas time has not dispelled the j turmoil that exists within the rants of -Vlarton County Republicans as a result of j the numerous announcements of candi- I dates who arc willing to take a fling at : the spring primary. Confusion exists among many candi- I dates who have announced themselves as well as others who are under constd- j oration as candidates. Most of the candidates are relying upon the support of Mayor-elect Shank and his supporters at the last election The candidates, many of them, are assuring their friends that they will have the sup- , port of the Shank organization workers,; regardless of the understanding that the , mayor-elect would maintain a “hands off " policy at the coming eonnty pri- ] inary. with the exception of the may- ; or's support for his brother. Carlin Shank, present county commissioner, who is considering making the race for county recorder. Instead of being a can-; didate for re-election as county commissioner. It is pointed out by the Shank workers at the last city election that they must have the support of the Shank organization to combat the menace of the Coffin-Dodson crowd, who are contemplating, it is said, an entire new slate. Certain candidates already are being groomed by this faction. EXPECT SHANK All) IN CONFLICT. In that way, the candidates coming from the Shank city political organization seem to feel that the Shank organization must support them in their fignt against the Coffin-Dodson combine. A. survey of the Criminal Judgeship situation indicates that the banner effort of the Coffin-Dodson crowd will be to re-elect Judge James M. Collins of the Criminal Court. At the last city primary and even prior to the election. Judge Collins attempted by many ways to be “induced” as a Republican canatdate for mayor and then after the primary there was talk that the Judge might be an “independent'' candidate for mayor following the defeat of Thomas Carr Howe, the News-Jewett candidate for the nomination of mayor. There is talk that T. Ernest Maholm. a justice of the peace, may be a candidate for the nomination for the Criminal Court bench. It also has been rumored that he might be a candidate for the nomination for the bench in Superior Court. Room 4. SEPERIOR COERTS ALSO IN TANGLE. The Superior' Court situation is also a mixed-up affair. Judge W. IV. Thornton of Superior Court, Room 1 has annonneed his candidacy to succeed himseir at the primary, and James M. Leathers, who has been identified with the NewsJewett faction in the past, has announced his candidacy for the same bench. No opposition has been suggested to the candidacy of Judge Linn D. Hay of Superior Court. Room 2, for renomination. Judge Hay is considered to be a strong candidate in his own right, getting the beueiit of the general Republican strength. Observers hold the same to be true in Superior Court, Room !%. where Judge T. J. Moll is a candidate to succeed himself. SHANK WORKERS OI'FOSE CARTER. The situation in Superior Court. Room j, appears to be different, as some of the Shank organization workers do not favor the candidacy of Judge Solon J. Carter. Judge Carter has not announced he will he a candidate, but it is thought he will. There is talk that when Judge Carter does announce his candidacy, if he does, that J. Fred Masters will oppose him. Masters also has been discussed as one o? the many candidates for Superior Court, Room 4. With the positive declaration of Judge Arthur K. Robinson that he would not be a candidate to succeed himself in Superior Court. Room, under any conditions, the way was opened for many candidates to enter the field. Among those are Clinton IT. Givan, who announced bis candidacy today: Alexander G. Gavins, former State Senator; W. O. Dunlavy; James E. McDonald and possibly Clarence R. Martin. Mr. Martin, however. It is understood, looks with favor upon being a candidate for Congressman from this district to oppose Merrill Moores, present Congressman. WILL ASK MARTIN NOT TO REN. Certain political leaders admit that pressure is being brought to bear on Mr. Martin not to tun for Congress, but to seek the Criminal Judgeship. In the juvenile court Judge Frank J. Lahr has announced his cadnldacy to

succeed himself. Judge Lahr's political strength la considered scattered, but strong. He will stand on his record as juvenile court judge. Robert N. Fulton, an attorney, and Isidor Wulfson will oppose him. Judge Mahlon E. Bash of the probate court is a candidate for reuominatlon. No opposition is expected. The State Senator situation appears to be a three-headed problem. Gustave G. Schmidt, at present a member of the city I council, will be a candidate, it is understood. Henry Abrams, who has served two terms in the House of Representatives, is looking with much favor upon the senatorial toga. Thomas A. Dally, 1 for years a member of the board of trnsI tees of the Indiana Reformatory, has j resigned and is looked upon as a powerful ! candidate in the senatorial race. WOMAN MAT SEEK COUNTY CLERKSHIP. | The county clerk race probably will 'see an active woman candidate in the field. It Is understood that Miss Adelo Koehne, formerly chief transcript clerk lin the county clerk's office, will be a candidate. County Clerk Rtvliard V. Slpe is seeking re-election. Leonard Quill, who had charge of the Lemcke campaign two years ago and who had charge of the headquarters for Mr. Howe, is considered the strongest opposition that Mr. Sipe has for the renomination. William P. Evans, the present prosecutor, will receive the undivided Republican strength for renomination it is predicted. John Castor is a candidate for renomlnatiou for the county recorder’s office. Benjamin S. Peirce, present county courthouse custodian; Ed Warwick of the Fourth ward - James W. I.amkin, local attorney, and a candidate for the nomination fonr years ago, and Edward A. Ramsey and Tom Greenlee are also looking forward to beco aing candidates for this office. The entire situation in the recorder's race will he changed, it is understood, by Carlin Shank, a brother of Mayor-elect Shank and present county commissioner, by an announcement soon that he will be a candidate for the nomination. Mr. Shank admits that he is considering the matter, although he has announced his candidacy to succeed himself as coun■ty commissioner. If Mr. Shank Is a candidate for the recorder's office he will carry the entire Shank city organization . forces with him. Murder and Suicide Occur in Boston Case BOSTON. Dec. 23.—A girl about 20 was shot to death by an unidentified man, who turned the revolver on himself. sending a bullet through his head, as the two sat at a table in a restaurant here. The girl died almost Instantly and the man a few minutes later. Police have been unable to identify the couple.
