The Indiana branch of the Congressional Union recently sent out a letter asking congressional candidates in Indiana for a statement as to their attitude on the proposed suffrage amendment to the United States Constitution. Harry S. New, candidate for United States senator, sent a courteous reply, in which he said he was not ready to commit himself on the question of woman’s suffrage. Merrill Moores, congressman In the Seventh district, in his letter says: “I have your letter of October 3 asking whether. If I am re-elected to congress. I would vote for o” against a proposed amendment to the Constitution. *Tn answ'er I have to say that by the act of August 19, 1911, it Is made the duty of every candidate to include within a sworn statement, which must be filed not less than ten nor more than fifteen days before the day of election, a ‘true account of all moneys and things of value given, contributed, expended, used, or promised by such candidate, or by his agent, representative, or other person for and In his behalf, with his knowledge and consent. together with the names of all those to whom any and all such gifts, contributions, payments or promises were made for the purpose of procuring his nomination or election.’ Promise or Pledge. "He Is further required to file within thirty days after election a ‘statement of every promise or pledge made by him. or by any ono for him with his knowledge and consent, or to whom he has given authority to make such prdmise or P ‘‘"V^hile this second statement seems to apply simply to pledges as to appointments to office, construing it with the other report which must be filed before the election, it has been construed by many members of the congress, and by myself, as applying to all promises of every nature made. In view of this fact and in view of the danger of losing one’s seat in the event any promise or pledge should be overlooked In this tatement, as well as in view of the serious punishment which the law provides, I have adopted the uniform policy of making no promises or pledges or any sort except that I will support the national platform of my party. Beyond this 1 car. say nothing. ‘’I have made no pledges, and shall make none except this one which I have named; and that pledge to support the platform of my party, I intend to keep.” , Hershman's Reply. George E. Hershman, of Crown Point, expressed himself as follows: ' *T am in receipt of yours of October 3, stating that the Congressional Union for woman suffrage is very much interested in getting a personal statement from me on the stand I would take on the socalled Susan B. Anthony amendment if I were elected to the congress. “In reply, will say to you, that I am in favor of woman suffrage, but I believe that It is a matter which is to be takeh up and settled by each state, and therefore, not really a national issue or question. , “Trusting that I have fully explained to you my position in this matter, and that the same may meet with the approval of your organization. * * * James E. Watson, of Rushville. writes: ‘Answering yours of the 3d, permit me to say that I stand on the Republican platform on the question in which you are interested as on all other questions touched by that document.” Ardent Supporter of Suffrage. David F. Maish, of Frankfort, says he is an ardent supporter of suffrage and gives his attitude on the question as follows: “In reply to yours of October 3, relative to my position on woman suffrage, I desire to say that I am an ardent supporter of the woman suffrage movement and have been for many years past. If elected to the congress from my district I shall earnestly endeavor to reflect the sentfrnent and wishes of the people of my district on all social, moral ajnd eco-

nomic questions. Although no vote has been taken In my district upon this question. I have reason to believe that It is the desire of a large majority of our people that women be granted the right of franchise.” Will R. W T ood, of Lafayette, says: “I received yours of the 3d inst., asking me to state my position with reference to the so-called S. B. Anthony amendment to the Constitution of the United States. “In reply, permit me to say that I am and ever have been of the opinion that a woman has Just as much right to vote as a man. The only question In my mind has been as to the policy Involved In the same. “Inasmuch, however, as our candidate for President has committed himself to the proposed amendment and It being my desire to be regular, I do not feel that you will have any reason to find fault with my attitude on this subject.”

GENERAL GRAND MASTER OF ORDER A GUEST.

GOVERNOR RALSTON SPEAKS AT ACTON DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

DEFENSE OF ADMINISTRATION

OFFICERS TO BE ADVANCED

Representatives of the Indiana councils of Royal and Select Masters filed their credentials with the grand recorder this forenoon, preliminary to the opening of the annual assembly of the grand council at the Masonic temple this afternoon. Special significance attaches to the meeting this year on account of the presence of Edw'ard W r . Wellington, of Ellsworth, Kas., general grand master of the general grand chapter, who arrived today. Henry W. Mordhurst, of Ft. Wayne, the general grand recorder, is also a guest. The officers of the Indiana grand council are: J. Louis Hetzner, of Peru, grand master; Edgar H. Bristol, of Salem, deputy grand master: Alexander Rumpler,

Governor Ralston, speaking at a Democratic rally at Acton last night, declared that he had Information that James P. Goodrich, Republican candidate for Governor, “is just as strongly in favor of a central board of control for all the state

institutions as I am.’

The Governor was discussing what he termed the unfairness of Mr. Goodrich and ‘‘newspapers” in charging that the Governor, at Richmond, some time ago, had declared It was possible to save $250,000 In the management of the state institutions. He said Goodrich and the newspapers had left the impression that because of this statement the Governor had tacitly admitted Goodrich’s charges that the institutions of the state were being operated on an extravagant basis under the Democratic administration. Mr. Ralston explained that in his Richmond speech he was discussing his plan for a central board of control for all state Institutions and that his reference to the $250,000 annual saving was intended to show what he believed might be saved the taxpayers under central board management of the institutions, through wholesale buying and the cutting off of other institutional expenses by the concentration of the eighteen state boards of trustees Into one central board. Letter to Superintendents. The Governor told of his letter to the superintendents of the Institutions and the boards of trustees, following the first of Mr. Goodrich’s charges of extravagance. He said each board of trustees and each head of the institutions had reported to him that there was no foundation in the Goodrich charges of extravagance. Mr. Ralston also dwelt at length on the proposition that the boards of trustees are bipartisan, or nonpartisan in character. Then he added:

I’m here to tell

Farnam, of Laporte, grand steward, and Jacob Pubin, grand sentinel. Following the usual custom these officers will be advanced In line, the office of grand steward being the only one to fill by election Grand Recorder Prather reports that the cryptic rite in this grand jurisdiction is in a prosperous condition and that much good work has been done In the last year. The annual assembly dinner will oe held In the banquet room at the temple this evening at 6 o’clock and the concluding session will be held tomorrow' morning, following which the annual convocation of the Indiana grand chapter of Royal Arch Masons will be opened.

tral board of control for all state inst Jutions as I am. I can’t tell you all know about It—for certain reasons, but I will let you judge for yourself. [Here the Governor read an excerpt from a Goodrich speech in which the candidate said he was “not at this time” in favor of a central board.] He Is for a central board, and, my word on it, if he’s elected Governor of Indiana, before his term is out he’ll stand for a central board of control —and I’ll help him to get it all I can. The reason he’s not coming out for it now is that, very naturally, the heads of these eighteen institutions and the governing boards of each of them, are to a great degree against the proposal to amalgamate them Into one board.” Asks Re-election of Wilson. Mr. Ralston advocated the re-election of Woodrow Wilson and the return to power of Senators Kern and Taggart, John A. M. Adair, Democratic candidate for Governor, and the Democratic state ticket. He answ'ered Republican charges of extravagance in the Ralston and other Democratic administrations by declaring state Institutions and other parts of the state government had been operated at the lowest costs, commensurate with good government. He declared that his administration had been criticised because ‘‘deserving Democrats” had obtained many jobs therein and answered this by declaring that the so-called “partisan, or deserving Democrats” in office In the state government, spend $818,000 of the state’s money each year, while nonpartisan boards and commissions spend $8,000,000 each year. The partisan officials in the state also turn into the state treasury $500,000 each year above what they expend, the Governor asserted. “I am not ashamed when there’s a Democrat in office,” Mr. Ralston continued and at another place In his address he declared that “I’m not afraid to ask,a man for his resignation if he’s not doing his duty.” He said no single charge of “graft” had been lodged against any state officer during his ad-

ministration.

Chalmer. Schlosser, Democratic candb, date for the congress in the Seventh district, and Michael E. Foley, of Indi- | anapolis, also gave addresses.
