RALSTON EXPOUNDS DEMOCRATIC FAITH

Candidate for Governor Talks to Small Audience—News Correspondent Accompanies Him. ' V ; >Samnel M. Ralston, of Lebanon, is talking to about two hundred people at the Princess Airdome this Monday afternoon. It is hard to create any democratic enthusiasm, especially in a dry county, for a candidate nominated as the'representative of Tom Taggart and Crawford Fairbanks. The democrats will probably about all vote for him hereabouts, just as they did for Tom Marshall, when it was certain that the result would be a severe blow to the cause of temperance, and if the consequence Is the reinstatement of saloons In the balance of Che dry counties and towns of the state, they will say they were “fooled” just as Tom Marshall was fooled, and let it go at that. Mr. Ralston is a fine man, so all of his townsmen say, but they also say he is badly mixed up in his political associations.
