Calm Undisturbed

During the late balloting, which
the Senator heard over radio Tues
day night, he sat silently as if in
5deep thought, and seldom essayed
NcOnversatioE except when addressed.
When pressed for an explanaten
OF why he withdrew. Ralston said;
My telegram demanding with
1 drawal of my name spoke for itself.
II did not want the nomination 1
did not seek it and I did not believe
ID could be nominated. There is
nothing more to add"
That RalstOn did not realize the
g strong sentiment toward him is IN
8 mistakable. When told that press
j dispatches were carrying the story
Ahat he had virtually kicked away
e nomination, he remarked:
Wei. well; how can they say
II"
PFhere is no question but that,
IRON a political standpoint, Raj
ston's action, right at the crisis of
4tha convention, when supporters of
q favorite sons were beating down
q the McAdoo and Smith veto power,
was blunder. From his own
standpoint it was getting out from
under a responsibility he did not
want.
a Newspaper men are of the opin-
s ion that IRaIston did not take his
81 strength seriously and that he was
conscientious in believing his with
travail would aid party harmony
snd move toward fastening a nom
aation.
- Both Senator and Mrs. Ralston
4are essentially home folks. While
Mrs. Ralston never opposed Raj
q ston's possible nomination, she
8 would much rather be at "Hoosier
s Home" than at the White House.
