Ralston, democratic candidate tor mayor In an address at the Thompson Club, Nineteenth and Alabama streets, last night urged Democrats to stand tor a clean primary. Mr. Ralston expressed confidence that he -would bo nominated and urged Democrats generally to take no part In the Republican campaign that Is going on. “I hare been asked which Republican candidate I preferred seeing nominated,” he said. “I have invaribly said that was a matter of absolute indifference to me. I am not taking any part In selecting the candidate for the Republican party, j nor do X want or expect my friends to ! Interest themselvea in making a noml- ! nation for Republicans. I will interest i myself In their nominee for mayor, alter : they name him. “Os one thing I feel certain and that 1, tlat if one-half that the Republicans candidates are saying about one another, is true, I shall have no trouble In defeating the Republican nominee next fall. "I am Interested In jusi two things at this time, and the first Is In getting the nomination for mayor myself, and the second is, in seeing the Democrats on the different election boards stand for an honest primary election. I want my opponents to be given every vote to which they are entitled, and I ask for nothing more for myself. “Certainly Democrats should not be Interested in counting *ln' or counting ‘out’ any Republican candidate, only In so far as they are Interested In having an honest count. All sorts of rumors are afloat. I do not know that there Is any truth In any of them, but I want the people to know, however, that I insist upon a clean primary and that means an honest count. “If any one Is allowed to succeed through a dishonest count, I do not want to be that man. Personally, I can better pfford to be counted ’out’ by dishonest methods than I can to be counted 'ln’ by sucb methods. “The people of Indianapolis could not expect me to give them a clean administration If I were willing to become a party to an unclean primary.”

PUBLIC BENEFITS BUT LITTLE FROM LIVESTOCK DROP Retail Butchers Hold Up Prices and Low-Priced Meat Is Not Found. CHICAGO, April 28—Retail butchers are now dipping their ladle Into the gravy. They are clinging onto the bowl with a vengeance, take It from those who produce live stock and prepare it for the market. With prices of both cattle and hogs down to pre-war levels the retail market holds up and there is little prospect of the public getting any great benefit from the slump in live stock prices according to leaders in close touch with market conditions. While prices of choice beef steers dropped to the lowest point In the last decade, there has been an advance from 1 to 2 points In the last weeks for the best grade of beef. The advance In beef quotations was explained by butchers, who said there had been a strengthening of the demand due to the scarcity. Packers had been killing no more than necessary and had little In storage, it was learned, so that as scon as the demand was felt It had an Immediate effect on retail and wholesale prices of meat, but not on live stock. Lite stock sells AT PRE-WAR PRICES. Market quotations show that live stock In selling below pre-war levels so tbat the responsibility for keeping up retail prices cannot be placed on the producer. The “buck” Is then passed up to the packer—the wholesaler. Market quotations on such articles that the packer sells which can be compared to pre-war prices put the packer In the clear of the responsibility, they claim. Lard Is down to 9 or 10 cents, which was about the figure In 1916. The first meat product to complete liquidation, according to packers, was pork. Wholesale pork reached the 1914 level some time ago and yet retail pork prices are still far above the figure of seven years ago. Three and a quarter pounds of pork roast today sold for sl.lß, at a leading retail butcher shop. The same piece of meat could be obtained from any packer employes organization shop for about 65 cents. This Is above the wholesale price, as the employes shop must also pay its overhead charges from the selling price, the same as other retail shops. LOW PRICED MEAT NOT ON MARKET. Hogs and cattle now being received are of the choicest grades. They have been fed heavily during the winter on cheap com and other foods. An abnormal number of high class hogs and cattle are reported at practically all markets. Butchers say the reason that prices remain up Is because there is no demand for the “low grades" of meat, and they must make enough profit on the high grades to make up for the loss in the low grades. They must buy both classes from the packers. Inquiry at a half dozen Chicago butcher shops for soup bones and other cuts usually regarded as “low grade” brought the response that they had nothing of the sort on hand. Even the once lowly liver manages to retain the high caste to which it was elevated during the war. Although the price of the live animal Is Just the same as It was ten years ago. when enough liver could be obtained for a nickel to feed a family of six, Chicago butchers -were charging 15 cents a pound.
