WARDS ECHO WITH BATTLE FOR WHIP OVERPRECINCTS Shank and Jackson Factions Still Wrestling for the Committeeman's Belt. \ The fight for Republican county chairmanship of Marion County between factions supporting Ed Jackson and Lew Shank for Republican nomination for Governor is still hot, as evinced by an occasional echo from the wards where the “workers” are engaged ;n hand to hand struggles over the important office of precinct committeeman. The precinct committeeman, just now. is the center of interest. On his vote depends the naming of county chairman, to be elected immediately following the primary when the committeemen themselves are elected. And the candidate in control of Marion County machinery will be better ofT than if a defeated opponent controls the said machinery. Control Is Important Further, many political wiseacres figure the primary will not result in a nominee, ar.d selection then will be up to a State convention. In that case, control of the State capitol organization would *be doubly important. Observers called attention to the fight in the Thirteenth ward as typical of the struggle in the county between forces led by George V. Coffin, j Jackson supporter and candidate for j chairman, "and those headed by Wil- ! liam H. Freeman. Shank adherent, and present chairman, up for re-election. Shank Reigns in Seventh In the Seventh precinct Shank j forces dominate the only Republican candidate in the field for commltteman, Charles Hulsman, 1446 S. Talbott St.. | it was said. The situation is due to withdrawal of Herbert Avels. 1403 S. i Meridian St., Coffin supporter, under threat that Shank men would "get” ! Avels’ job as deputy assessor unless he pulled out. M. L. Jefferson. Center Township assessor. 6ald Avels resigned, but others alleged he was discharged through pressure of the Coffin interests for “betrayal of the trust," j It was said Coffin secured Avels his , Job as assessor. Anti-Shank men also declared Wil- , liam Schaller. barber at 1130 S. Me- ; ridian St., withdrew from the race in the Tenth precinct of the same ward i under pressure of threats of boycott by Shank forces. Schaller was in the race ostensibly as a henchman of Coffin, and was counted on to provide j the much coveted committeman's vote from that precinct.

A Puzzle a Day
\ The drawing shows a network of small canals, so arranged that they form two islands. The canals are crossed by' fifteen bridges. A man wagered that he could walk across ail fifteen bridges, and so arrange his course that he would not cross any one bridge more than once. He was privileged to start and end wherever he pleased. Can you map out a route for h*m? f Yesterday’s answer: The woman started with $42. In the first store she spent $22 (half of her amount plus $1); which left her S2O. Then she spent sl2 (half of the remaining plus $2), leaving $8; finally she spent $7 ($3 more than half of what she had left). Thus she had but $1 remaining. This probjem should be worked backwards, in solving. THEFTS POLICE DECLARE Signed Statement Made by Prlboner,
