Overflow crowds and unbounded
enthusiasm greeted former-Gov.
Samuel NJ. RalstOn, Democratic can
didate for United States, senator and
Miss Esther O'Keefe, Indiana's first
woman candidate for Congress. In
meetings at Plymouth and Elkhart
yesterday.
The success of the meetings and
the genuine warmth with which Miss
O'Keefe was received are sure in
dications that the district will swing
into the Democratic column next
Tuesday, by a substantial plurality,
Democratic leaders said at the close
of the day.
As great as was the reception Civ
en- Miss O'Keefe at Plymouth, her
home town, it was exceeded even by
the tremendous ovation accorded her
at Elkhart. The Bucklen theater was
crowded TO the roof long before the
meeting began and when she was
introduced by Mrs. Grace Carpenter
Of Elkhart, wave upon wave of ap-
plause swept through the audience.
Her brief address was interrupted
time after time by bursts OF applause
and the crowd was reluctant to have
her cease speaking at the, close of a
brief address.
Former Gov. Ralston also was en-
Enthusiastically received.
At Elkhart he gave much atten-
tiCn TO a discussion Of the Adamson
and Esch-Cummins laws, critising
his opponent, Albert ]. Beveridge
severely for his stand on matters per
tanning to railroad legislation.

Senator Beveridge has denounced
the Esch-Cummins law. a law enact

gressive Republican senators, under
the mistaken impression that ia

conditions Of which my opponent SO
bitterly complains are due to the bill
enacted by his own party"
In no uncertain terms he declared
( himself in favor OF an eight hour day
for railroad employees.
There is no line OF work where
the strain upon the human system
I is greater than in the operation OF
railroad trains" he said. These men
have upon them the responsibility
for the lives OF thousands Of men,
