BOOM FOR RALSTON
LAUNCHED BY FRIENDS

for Welfare and Not for
Politics.

The Ralston boom for the demo

set in motion today. although not by
Senator Raiston himself. Indlana's
national committeeman. Charles A.
Greathouse Of indianapolis. issued a
formal statement. in which, while ad-
mitttng that the senator will not de-
clare himself an active candidate, he
says that Indiana is for him.
The statement says. in part:
Ralston's record as an executive
is peculiarly attractive at this time
as he paid off every penny of the
state indebtedness for tho first time
In eighty years. reduced taxes and
left surplus of more than $4,000, 900
in the treasury; and, moreover. he did
this without any neglect Of any state
work. but through the application of
sound business principles.
AT the same time, his adnlinistra-
ton was thoroughly progressive with
out being sensational. In other words.
he is reformer for public welfare
and not for political purposes
Naturally, we Of Indiana feel GER
tain that when his record Is known
to the nation as it is known to US
he will be as popular elsewhere as
ne is in our state. and II We are right
in our views his election would be
