McCulloch’s candidacy for the responsible office of governor of Indiana will do well to consider him with the home of his boyhood as a point of departure. lit was a worthy son of a noble father. That house under the elm was a center of the best thought and the noblest activities of the state. Before he vot ed Carleton B. McCulloch was a* funda. mental democrat, in his father’s house he learned “to see life steadily and to see it whole.” He caught the spirit of the era of social justice when it was still a new doctrine and with definite practical ideas of his own he is open to counsel. One of the most successful physicians in Indiana, he is also a good business man. His sole aim in seeking the governorship is to serve the state a»d its people.. “Boys in the McCulloch household were taught to work, to render their service to labor. I have known Carl McCulloch from those days of the big elm and nothing in his life has been more striking than hi s industry, his pluck, his rugged determination to make good. Like his distinguished father, he has followed the rule that we’ve got to put a lot into life if we expect to take anything out. “Carleton McCulloch is not a poll tician. He has never been in office. Always attentive to public questions he has kept in touch with movements for good government and the improvement of the public service rather than with party conditions, , "Views on such matters as those * s trike me as more like those of Grover Cleveland than of any other American 1 recall. A dogged resolution to do the right thing and the square—here we have McCulloch and his democracy reduced to plain and simple terms. “Knowing him perhaps as well as I know any man. I would trust him with any responsiblity, confident that he would do all that I expected of him and more. His service in the great war proved his capacity and ability, his valor and devotion to his country. He left as a lieutenant and came back lieutenant-colonel with a citation tot

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With GEORGE WHITE Democratic Committee Chairman (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) A popular figure in political circles la George White. Formerly chairman of the Democratic Committee, he keeps on doing his work but is not particular about titles. George always seems to be chairman of something that no one else seeks. The push and rush for tickets at the Democratic National Convention at Madison Suare Garden were centered on him but by his smiling and his careful handling of tiie situation much difficulty was spared. Good-! ratured and genial George' White us-1 daily undertakes the task that others rhirk. During the days when Mark' Twain was living in Elmira. New York. George White was born. Later' he family moved to Titusville. Penn 1 tylvania, and in his school days voting George began to sniff petro'eum and knew all about oil derricks I After graduating from Princeton University in 18;>5 with the degree of L 8., he taught echoed; but the lure rs oil and the memory of Titusville were too strong, so he plunged again nto the oil business and mimng. l Di! men are explorers as a rule and he was one of the earliest pioneers n the K’ondlke in 1898 and won his’ Estinction as a real Sourdough by hree winters >n Alaska. Crossing Uhiikoot Pass in the dead of winter? vhen otheis perished, is among some f his Alaskan adventures. When he decided to settle down nd reside :n Marietta. Ohio, one of he oldest towns in the state and the lirtbplace of Charles G. Dawes, the ice presidential nominee on the Re-1 publican ticket, Ivl caught the po-| itical nrcrobe. Active in the oil: business in West Virginia and sur j rounding territory, Marietta was a •enter of operations. The Demorats. without his knowledge or conant. and before he had even voted ' n the town, nominated him for the egislature because no one else vouid run. He accepted the honor, somewhat reluctantly, but started ' jepdip acquainted with ,ths voters.j "H election night he Supposed he had! been defeated with the rest of the Democrats, but, instead, they called dm up on the phone to inform him i hat he was a real member of the Ohio legislature. Fate called him to lo’.umbus and another Ohio political j :areer was launched. With a natur-l il faculty of making friends, he was : ooked upon as a leader at the state, Capital.

bravery and the Croix de Guerre. We s were pleased—those of u s who knew i him long and ■well —but we were not , surprised. It was like Carl to do the ■ job to the top of his bent. No duck . ing, no shirking; just doing the day’s ■ work in the spirit of his boyhood by i; ' the big elm. “When elected the democratic candidate may be depended upon to man- , age things differently and the state needs the contrast. He will restore the dignity of the state for one thing and from the governor’s chair he will see all the people all the time, not merely politicians and favorites. The door of the state house will be every man’s door once again as in the days of Marshall ami Ralston. We shall have business transacted with sole reference to the public good. The gov-, ernor’s office will cease to be a politi- 1 cal headquarters and become a center of wise thought and courageous ac. tion. “It please s me to thinkl»f McCulloch at the head of the tilde. We shall find the same spirit that pervaded the household in the shadow of the elm in his youth reaching out to every part of the state. Nothing petty, nothing selfish; but meeting every obligation and responsibility with clear understanding and the will and the power to serve well the state. “Such is the democratic candidate ( for governor as I know’ him. And J knowing him for the upstanding high r ( minded man he is, I should hate my- . , self if I didn’t love him.” k J ■■■ Senator Samuel Ralston, hoijest I governor brilliant member of the!

z '' ■' ? 1 4 * X MR. WHITE says: “Why are not procedure and definite details of political work taught in the public schools? It would save expenses if men were betiter informed as to these simple duties.” ■ , 1914. He took it philosophically and ■ gave a little more attention the production of crude oil and natural gas I and decided to wait before trying I again. Again his party called, “George, you do it!”—and he always does it. i As a member of the 65th Congress he was in the thick of the war work. When he retired and James W. Cox was nominated for President on the Democatic ticket, Geoge White was , chosen chairman of the National . Committee. Although he worked | aainst great odds, in an avalanche | landslide, he never lost n’.a temper lor his faith that the wheels of poI litical fortune would keep turning. I Long before the politisal convenI tion met in 1924. he prophesied the nomination of John W. Davis, whifh naturally brought him again into the campaign work, not as the chairman l but as the man who stands by the chairman, ready to do the work. | A tall man. somewhat stooped, ( 1 with a smile and good natured look: on his face George White loves the 1 outdoor work of the oil man. As a • iyoung man he could “throw the pipe'] over the top of the derricx in dis-J mantling an oil well. A member of the firm of White & 1 McKelvey and treasurer of Perm.an| Oil and Gas Company, together with I a pumber h?‘ declares that his notTby is politics. “Why do me.i seek excitement in other games when it is possible to have plenty «of it by getting into the political whirl, and trying to allot]’ t ckets at a national convention? ’ Why are not the procedure and defi-' ‘ nite details of political work taught j' in the public schools? It would save! us campaign expenses. What zest it 1 ! would add to play the game of real' 1 politics.” |

senate of the United States, leader of I I Hoosier democracy for two scor years will speak at the court house Tuesday evening. He can tell you i about conditions in Indiana and he i will. He can give you the truth' about affairs in Washington and he ‘ will. He can show you the position, of the great democratic party and its attitude toward all the people and liewill. If you are going to vote No. vem’oer 4th, you certainly want to do so intelligently and Senator Ralston t will discuss the issues with you in ■> fair and understandable way. There* is no better example of success in the miudie west than the life of Senator Ralston. As a boy he worked in ' the mines and on the farm. Because of his energy, his ability his dogged st’.ck-to-it-iveness. he has climbed from ! the bottom to the top. He is a com’mor. in:n who has earned his way and whose advice is solid and good. It is costing you five times as much to have high taxes under the present republican administration as it did to have low taxes uniter the democratic administration. The cost of maintaining the state tax board ten years ago was $15,000 per year while in 1923 it cost $75,000 and remember there were three members on the board then and three now. The salarie 3 are the same now as then, but the organization his been increased by puttings on political henchmen whom you pay. That’s a part of centralized government. You ought to oppose it. You ought to lick it by voting the democratic ticket this , year.

John A. M- Adair will speak at Berne Monday night and at Geneva Tuesday night, bringing a message to the voters that should stir them to activities. He knows congress, he knows the size of the Job he would tackle. He is willing to servo you it you want him and he is splendidly qualified to do It. Hear his speech in which he will tell you in plain language where he stands on the various questions of greatest importance Just now and the next two or four yearß ’ it is rumored that the story that 1 Ed Jackson, republican candidate for governor of Indiana had been called to Indianapolis Wednesday evening .for an important meeting was a fake and that he remained in Fort Wayne incognito, viewing the parade unknown and unsung.

500 Per Cent The Stale Tax Board has done more than its share toward increasing the expenses of running Indiana. 1916 $15,000 1924 $75,250 't he above are the amounts that the legislature appropriatetl to the Tax Boant for its expenses in 1916 and 1921. There were three members of the lax Board in 1916 and three members in 1921. but it lakes five times is much money for the lax Board to function under the present Republican administration as it did under a Democratic administration. Il costs five times as much for Republicans to make taxes high in 1921 as it did for Democrats to keep taxes low in 1916.
