square fighter 1t was conceded by our
Thomas r. Marshall that IL was Mr..
Risks influence that had much to do In
nominating Marshall for governor.
VOTES SHOW
POPULARITY OF MAN.
"Mr. Marshall received more votes in
1908 than had ever been cast for gov
ernor in Indiana. He received 1900
more votes that year than Mr.. Ralston
received four years later, and ] might
add that Mr. Bryan received $1,000 more
votes in 1908 than Wilson received in
1912. and Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Adair re
ecived several thousand votes less In
1916 than Bryan and Marshall received in
1908. I desire to call attention to the
slump in the democratic vote, since 1908,
for the purpose Of showing that positive,
open party declarations are necessary to
attract the voter.
Mr. Risk contended in the primary
fight before the legislature that If the
people were entrusted with the selection
of their candidates for the legislature
great progress would be made in secur-
ing reforms. The Jones primary bill WAS
written into law and the members Of the
1917 legislature were selected under the
primary law, thus coming direct from the
people That Legislature passed the con
stitutional convention BILL passed Inn
tied suffrage bill; gave the women the
right TO vote for all Offices. except those
specified by the constitution. and this
same legislature passed a statutory pro
hibltion bill I have often heard Mr..
Risk say that the small part he had q
do with putting over the primary law
was the best investment be had ever made
and brought the best returns.
MIR. Risk was an active executive
member Of the Indiana Dry Federation.
an organization Of which W. ]. Bryan
was the national president and when
had national membership of more than
90. O00, 900 people. The Indiana Dry Fed
Grafton closed its indianapolis office I'M
mediately after the 1919 Legislature rati-
ded the federal amendment. Mr.. Risk Is
A district member of the National Anti
Saloon league, and has ChampiOned the
cause Of woman suffrage for great
many years.
ALWAYS CLOSE FRIEND
OF MIR. BRYAN.
81 am proud that 1t is my privilege to
know that Kirby Risk has always been
a follower of and close personal friend
to W. j. Bryan. In fact, Risk has been
responsible for Mr. Bryan coming into
Indiana on more occasions than any man
or any group of men. He has stood with
Mr.. Bryan in all OF his great fights. In
speaking of Mr. Wilson, our great presi-
dent Mr. Risk always praises Mr.. Bryan
for making the nomination Of Mr.. WI
son possible at Baltimore in 1912, and In
re electnc him in the west in 1916
"Mr Risk is one Of the best-known
men in Indiana, and knows more people
personally than any man to my knowl-
edge. He is successful manufacturer,

der and over to the point; and every
voter will know in advance of election day
just where he stands.
HE believes a promise made at vote
getting time by his party in platform, or
by the candidate himself is sacred and
should be just as binding after election.
II am of the opinion that if a goodly
representation of democrats would show
an interest that they want him and
have confidence in his leadership because
of his aggressive activities, backed by his
splendid spirit, fearlessness and courage
in combating evils of his day, we would
not only be doing a great service to our
party, but to all the people of our state.

ence to have Mr.. Risk become a candidate

great moral issues, viz, temperance and
woman suffrage
There are, no doubt, a great many
democrats in Indiana who command the
respect and confidence of the rank ana
file Of our party, but in all my &C
quaintance l know of no man who bet
ter suits the situation as It is today
to become democracy's standard bearer
as their candidate for governor than
the Hon. James K. Risk of Lafayette,
Ind.
~ have known MFR. Risk intimately. so
cially and politically, for quarter of n
century. He Is a man who fights In the
open and always stands for true demo
cratic principles and high ideals 1t was
largely due to his leadership that the
J ones primary bill, of which the writer
was the author, was written into law.
Mr.. Risk gave full sixty days time dur
ing the Indiana legislature in 1915 in the
interest Of the direct primary law and
other reform measures. He volunteered
his services and paid all of his own per-
sonal expenses He took the position
that the democratic party Il state con
ventiOn, in 1914, agreed in their platform
that primary law should be enacted,
and Mr.. Risk believes that party pledges
should always be kept. The writer is
very familiar with every move that was
made in the support of the Jones pri-
mary bill and knows well the great serv-
ice rendered by Mr.. Risk to the dem
ocratic party and the larger service be
rendered to the state Of Indiana.
ut was Mr.. Risk. as a MEMBER of the
democratic state committee in 1906, who
put through resolution binding the state
committee to n roll call and record vote
before fhC
mittee He also presented a resolution
in 1906, which was approved by the state
committee, preventing the state commit
tee using it's influence, as committee, in
selecting or nominating candidates. The
resolution condemned dark room meth
DDS and pledged the committee to a
square deal and an open policy, with no
inference in the selecting OF candidates.
Mr. Risk was responsible for the two
days convention policy, believing that the
great democratic party should have am
pie time in their convention to transact
the party's business.
"Mr. Risk has served his party in an
organization way to a great extent. In
1906 he was the precinct committeeman
of his precinct at Lafayette, and also
was city chairman. He was precinct
committeeman in his precinct in the
county. and also county chairman. ne
was also a member of the democratic
state committee, representing the Tenth
district. He was very active in the
state committee in 1908 and is response
BILE for the reforms mentioned above.
"Mr. Risk led the fight in 1905 against
what is known in Indiana for almost
n quarter of a century as the machine
crowd while he was unsuccessful, he did
demonstrate very marked ability as an
organizer and forceful, open, clean and
