PROPOSES RISK - OF LAFAYETTE FORGOVERNOR Record of Democratic Service and Popularity Shown by John R. Jones. An effort, having for its purpose the inducement of James K. Risk of Lafayette into the race for the democratic nomination for governor, has been launched by John R. Jones of Plymouth. Mr. Jones, ■who, as a member of the legislature, fathered the Indiana primary law which was known as the Jones primary law, has been for many years an active worker in the democratic ranks. He is one of the democrats of the state -who were several years ago known as the “forward-looking democrats,” who conducted a vigorous campaign for what * they termed more pronounced and progressive ideas in state government. Mr. Risk, who recently outlined in The Times his ideas of a platform for the present campaign, was a candidate for governor in 1016, was active in the Wll-son-Bryan league and has been recently solicited to enter the present fight as a candidate for governor by a large number of democrats who are anxious to see a vigorous campaign waged with a view to compelling candidates to take their stands on the issues of the day and appeal for support on known programs. Mr. Jones' preliminary effort, to erystnlize this demand for Mr. Risk's candney has taken the form of a letter which has been sent to a large numbd of democrats asking their telp in indiicing Mr. Risk to announce his candidacy. Mr. Risk is in the east on a business trip at present and it is planned to ask a decision from him as to his candidacy immediately ou his return. EXPERIENCED IX ORGANIZATION WORK. Mr. Jones’ letter is as follows: “As an active working democrat with much experience in organization work, who has served bis township as trustee six years; who has served his county ns clerk of the court four years, and two terms as state representative, all of which affords me the opportunity of knowing Indiana democrats; when I say Indiana democrats I mean men who have rendered real service to our party by being square in the open. “If our party hopes to win in Indian* in the coming campaign it will be abso--lutely necessary to have a candidate for governor who has stood for democratic measures and bas supported openly the

great moral issues, viz., temperance and woman suffrage. "There are, no doubt, a great many democrats in Indiana who command the respect and confidence of the rank and file of our party, but in ail my acquaintance I know of no man who bet(er suits the situation/ as it is today to become democracy's standard bearer as their candidate for governor than the Hon. James K. Risk of Lafayette, Ind. “I have known Mr. Risk intimately, socially and politically, for a quarter of a century. He is a man who fights in the open and always stands for true democratic principles and high ideals. It was largely due to his leadership that the Jones primary bill, of which the writer was the author, was written into law - . Mr. Risk gave full sixty days’ time during the Indiana legislature in 1915 in the interest of the direct primary law’ and other reform measures. He volunteered his services and paid all of his own personal expenses. He took the position that the democratic party ij state convention, in 1914, agreed in their platform that a primary law should be enacted, and Mr. Risk believes that party pledges should always be kept. The writer is very familiar with every move that was made in the support of the Jones primary bill and knows well the great service rendered by Mr. Risk to the democratic party and the larger service be rendered to the state of Indiana. “It was Mr. Risk, as a rnemner of the democratic state committee in 1906. who put through a resolution binding the state committee to a roll call and record vote on every question coming before the committee. ' He also presented a resolution in 1906. which was approved by the state committee, preventing the state committee using its influence, as a committee, in selecting or nominating candidates. The resolution condemned dark room methods and pledged the committee to a square deal and an open policy, with no inference in tbe selecting of candidates. Mr. Risk was responsible for the two days' convention policy, believing that the great democratic party should have ample time in their convention to transact the party’s business. “Mr. Risk bas served his party in an organization way to a great extent. In 1906 be was the precinct committeeman of his precinct at Lafayette, and also was city chairman. He was precinct committeeman in his precinct in the county, and also county chairman. He was also a member of the democratic state committee, representing the Tenth district. He was very active in the state committee in 1906 and is responsible for the reforms mentioned above. “Mr. Risk led the fight in 1908 against what is known in Indiana for almost n quarter of a century as the machine crowd; while he was unsuccessful, he did demonstrate a very marked ability as an organizer and forceful, open, clean and

square fighter. It was conceded by our Thomas R. Marshall that it was Mr. Risk's influence that had much to do in nominating Marshall for governor. VOTES SHOW POPULARITY OF MAN. “Mr. Marshall received more votes in 190S than had ever been cast for governor in Indiana. He received 73,(MX) more votes that year than Mr. Ralston received four years later, and I might add that Mr. Bryan received 58.000 more votes in 190S than Wilson received in 1912. and Mr. Wilson and Mr. Adair received several thousand votes less In 1916 than Bryan and Marshall received in 1908. T desire to call attention to the slump in the democratic vote, since 1908, for the purpose of showing that positive, open party declarations are necessary to attract the voter. “Mr. Risk contended in the primary fight before the legislature that if the people were entrusted with the selection of their candidates for the legislature great, progress would be made in securing reforms. Tbe .Tones primary bill was written into law and the members of the 1917 legislature were selected under the primary law, thus coming direct from the people. That legislature passed the constitutional convention bill: passed a limited suffrage bill; gave the women the right to vote for ali offices, except those specified by the constitution, and this same legislature passed a statutory prohibition bill. T have often heard Mr. Risk say that the small part he bad vo do with putting over the' primary law was the best investment be had ever made and brought tbe best returns. “Mr. Risk was an active executive member of the Indiana Pry Federation, an organization of which W. J. Bryan was the national president and which had a national membership of more than 20.000.000 people. The Indiana Dry Federation closed its Indianapolis office Immediately after the 1919 legislature rati fled the federal amendment. Mr. Risk is a district member of the National AntiSaloon league, and has championed the cause of woman suffrage for a great many years. ALWAYS CLOSE FHIEM) OF MR. BRYAN. “1 am proud that it is my privilege to know that Kirby Risk has always been a follower of and a close personal friend to W. J. Bryan. In fact, Risk has been responsible for Mr. Bryan coining into Indians on more occasions than any man or any group of men. He has stood with Mr. Bryan in ali of his great fights. In speaking of Mr. Wilson, our great president, Mr. Risk always praises Mr. Bryan for making the nomination of Mr. Wilson possible at Baltimore in 1912, and In re-electing him in the west In 1916. “Mr. Risk Is one of the best-known men in Indiana, and knows more people personally than any man to my knowledge. He is a successful manufacturer,

owning a half Interest in a splendid factory producing a product that is known all over the United States and Canada. Mr. Risk has carried his idea of quality and efficiency into his product, guaranteeing it on a sixty-day trial, shipping it to any part of the United States or Canada, assuring the purchaser if it does not meet the guarantee it must be returned to the factory and freight charges from the factory to the purchaser's station will be refunded. Mr. Risk believes that the government should be operated just as economically and as efficiently as a man operates his own private business. Mr. Risk’s action in his political, social and business life always invites confidence and gives confidence in return. “My attempt in the 1913 legislature to have a real primary law' passed failed. I asked the democrats of Marshall county to return me to the 1915 legislature that I might have one more trial in having a primary bill passed. My purpose of deairing a primary law for Indiana was to enable the voters to nominate their candidates without any interference and to make it possible for candidates to enter the primaries with the knowledge that they would hare tbe opportunity to present their views on state questions to the people, thus enabling the .voter to select the person best suited for the office. “I believe if the democrats of Indiana can prevail on James K. Risk to become a candidate for governor at the coming primary he will be nominated; and I freely believe he will be elected in No vernber. His candidacy will appeal nor only to the democrats of Indiana; but will appeal strongly to the temperance dement of all parties, will appeal to the women voters of the state and certainly his candidacy will appeal espe cially strong to the great progressive vote, that left the republican party in 1912. PROGRESSIVE FORCE WILSON’S ADVICE. “ludiana democrats, do you recall the advice given by President Wilson at Tomlinson hall in January. 1915, to keep in mind that progressive force which is in neither the democratic or republican party, yet. holds tbe balance of power in government? He advised the democrats o? Indiana and especially the democratic members of the 1915 legislature to act. in such a w-ay as to attach this great progressive force to the democratic party. “I am interested in tbe Risk candi dacy, as I beiieve him to be the strongest candidate that the democratic party can nominate. The women voters, the temperance forces, as well as the independent and progressive voters will all demand an open statement from each candidate —where they have stood and where they now stand orr all the great questions that are now before the people. We will find that Mr. Risk's answers will not bo evasive, but will be straight from the shoul-
