NEED FOR RIGHT MAN TO RUN CITY NEVER GREATER 'Myers and Other Speakers Ex* toll Democratic Candidate at Ralston Home. APPEAL TO THE WOMEN There never thi a time In the history of Indianapolis when the right man in the right place at the right times was as badly needed as be is now in the office of mayor, Walter Myers told a crowd gathered at the country home of Samuel M. Ralston, former Governor of- Indiana, last night Mr. Myers said he believed Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic nominee for mayor, is the man who is needed. Other speakers at the meeting were Samuel M. Ralston. Miss Julia Landers. Mra. Grace Jaokaon Bodenmlller. Boyd M. Ralston. Frank P. Baker, Mrs. W. H. Bobbitt and Mrs. Henry Comiskey. “To a long and successful career as a business man he has added a wealth of experience which such a career nffords,” Mr. Myers said, in 6p<sklng of the Democratic candidate. “He has a vision of a greater Indianapolis doing Its part to make a greater State and Nation and proposes to translate It into being, not by quirks and gibes that excite the guffaws of the gallery, but by that patient, practical performance which has made q.ur Nation and cfty prosper throughout all the past. COMES FROM HOOSIKB FAMILY. “Boyd Ralston comes from a family whose roots are deep In Indiana’s soil, and whose attainments are matters of which the State is proud. The brother of him who attracted the eyes of the entire country—Governor Ratston might have been the Democratic candidate for Vice President last year—he shines not by reflected glory, but by reason of his own high character and virtue*. The Democratic party offers to Indianapolis for Its mayor not a politician, but a man. “Boyd Ralston Is a man of courage, both physical and moral. Some years ago we returned together on a train from Terre Haute, which arrived here about 8 o'clock In the morning. We got separated at the station. Only owl street cars were running and Boyd Ralston started to walk home. Somewhere on Meridian street, near t’nlverslty Park, a turglar shoved a gun In his “ace and ordered him to hold up his hands. It bed been raining and he was carrying an umbrella. While pretending to hold up his hands, he Jabbed the burglar In the stomach with the point of the umbrelln. The burglar dropped his gun in pain and ran. Boyd picked It up. gave ihase. captured him. and putting the muzile of the gun to the back of the burglar's neck, marched him to a telephone and made him call the police to come and arrest him. That is the stuff Boyd Ralston is made of, though he is too modest ,to tell it. He has the courage to look in angry mob in the face and' tell them to do their worst once he is convinced that he himself Is in the right. There hate been mayors to whom the thought of a mob was anathema, suggesting not the resignation of determination but resignation from office la time of dire peril. “When Boyd Ralston is elected mayor, he will be the right man In tha right place because the mayor of Indianapolis has problems to meet In the next four years that require the abilities of a real executive. The world may have been for sale during the war but It surely is not up for auction now. It ta on the threshold of anew era. The day of the political quack Is passing, especially in cltiea. The substantial people, the home builders and the home makers, the bread winners and those who save and Invest are realising more every day that you can't cure the measles with soothing syrup. Neither can high taxes and intolerable civic conditions be cured with jokes and promises. To pay taxes and to live, money must be earned. To earn money, people must work. To have work, business must thrive, aud business caDnot thrive when afflicted with political itch. Right now business needs a good tonic and for Indianapolis Boyd Ralston is the best man to prescribe it He is the right man in the right place.

SOBER JIDGJIEM MIST PREVAIL. "H is also the man for the right place at the right time. This Is a day of re covery when sober judgment must prevail; when a spark of nonsense may Ignite a holocaust of folly and disaster; when crushing burdens of high taxes and high costs must be lightened; and when the Individual and the community alike must practice common industry, hoEesty and frugality. Each administration is ■haring of a growing tree, and it la our ■olemn, civic duty to see to it that the bugs and the borers do not break through to make dry rot and worm holes on the inside of the splendid rings that have gone before us. Mr. Ralston Is the man for such a time. He stands on a platrorm which people can understand and which means wbat It says. It Is a platform that appeals to people who are citizens first and members of political parties afterwards. It is a platform upon which Republicans can stand with pride alongside of Democrats because It is a sensible platform designed for the best Interests of all the people of our city. It appeals to no group or class. It does not Inflame the troubles of the poor; nor does It truckle to the rich. It is built upon that fundamental principle of democracy, the fullest good for each In the betterment of all. and appeals to those who love this city as the birthplace of their children, the scene of their homes and families and the soil that shall receive their dead. “While women may be new to politics, they are not new to the cry for honest administration, clean, government and better living. They were makers ot homes ten thousand years before politics were thought of and In the home Indicated the lessons that later blossomed and bore fruit in progress. They now merely going to do directly •what they have been doing Indirectly throughout the centuries. “The women are going to support Mr. Ralston's ticket.”

SECRETARIES ATTEND SCHOOL John B. Reynolds Writes of Valuable Work at Evanston. John B. Reynolds, general secretary of tbe Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, returned today from two weeks spent at the National School for Commercial Secretaries in Evanston, 111., under the auspices of the United States Chamber of Commerce, the National Assoeiation of Commercial Secretaries anti Northwestern t ntversity. Mr. Reynolds declares this school has meant much In the development of the commercial secretary's profession. “The lasting contribution of tbe national school to the work of commercial organizations over the country has been in the establishment of a distinctly scientific and professional viewpoint on the part of the thousand commercial organization executives who attend this school,” says Mr. Reynolds. According to Mr. Reynolds the purpose of the school was to lift the commercial secretaries out of ruts, to get them to consider civic problems in terms of general principles and of long run results, and not in terms of routine and the Immediate disposition of details, and that technical training for commercial and trade organization secretaries Is assured as a result of the two-weeks’ summer schaal. He added that the national school for commercial secretaries will be in session next year. “Fundamentally this means,” says Mr. Reynolds, "emphasis on policies which must be established based upon a frank analysis of conditions and not upon Impulse. Too many Chambers of Commerce and commercial organizations make resea r< c and the handling of petty details their entire work. Research can be of importance only when the work done is hitched to a live problem of chamber policy. Mere facts of chamber work are seldom worth the effort expended in digging them up.” INDICTED YOUTH ARRESTED Walter Morris, a youth of 438 Eastern avenue, who was indicted by the grand jury in its final report prior to the summer adjournment, has been arrested on a charge of assault and battery with Intent to rob. He gave bond in tbe sum of SI,OOO.
