SHANK CAMPAIGN SIS INTEREST IN GOVERNORSHIP Democratic Committee to Discuss Contest Plans Friday. By FELIX F. BRUNER Active campaigning' on the part of Mayor Shank of Indianapolis, candilate for the Republican nomination ’or Governor, is expected to stir up considerable activity in both parties within a short tmie. The Democratic State committee will meet at 11 a. m. Friday to discuss campaign plans. The committee also probably will set a date for the State convention. Prospective candidates for Governor have been Invited to attend. One question bothering both Democrats and Republicans is that of how many Democratic votes Shank may he expected to obtain. In his previous campaigns in Indianapolis Shank has received powerful assistance from Democrats both in primaries and in elections. Klan Question Is Factor In the last election he carried the solid south side, usually safely Democratic. The primary law forbids Democrats from voting in Republican primaries and Republicans from voting in Democratic promaries, but as a rule this provision has not been very rigidly enforced. The Klan question, with the entrance of Shank into the campaign, has become inseparable from political consideration. A great deal of the Democratic vote is believed by politicians to be anti-Klan, due to the fact that the Democrats always have been strong among persons of Irish descent.

colored vote, always Republican, also is anti-Klan. Democratic Indications A lively fight among Democratic candidates for the nomination, party leaders believe, may have the effect of attracting Democratic votes from Shank, who at this stage is frankly the candidate most feared by Democrats. In the Democratic party a fourcornered contest may be forthcoming. Dr. Carlton B. McCulloch Indian apolis. is an avowed candidate, although he has made no formal announcement. The same is true of State Senator Charles Batt, Terre Haute. Dale J. Crittenberger, Anderson, former auditor of State, has been interviewing party leaders on the subject of his candidacy, and William H. O'Brien, Lawreneeburg, also a former auditor, is said to have the Governor ship ‘‘bug.” .lackson Announcement Awaited Republicans are awaiting the announcement of Ed Jackson, secretary of State, who has long been looked upon as a candidate. He is said to be decidedly friendly to the Klan. His announcement, according to report. is being delayed because of activity of Newman T. Miller, State fire marshal, also said to be a candidate.
