RALSTON HITS SHANK PROGRAM IN DISCUSSION Says Lack of Constructive Plan G. 0. P. Candidate’s Weakness. 9 HARTMAN IS IGNORED __ Contrary to genera! erpectations rfifl to the evident disappointment of a crowd of several voters who gathered at East Washington street and State avenne last night <O. hear Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic candidate for mayor, speak, no mention was made by him or by Thomas CL Garvin, Democratic candidate for city? judge, who followed Mr. Ralston, of the Hartman case. Before the speakers arrived there was a general buzz of expectancy through the crowd and there was considerable disesssion of the Hartman affair. A “tip” was out that Ralston would devote a considerable part. of his speech to a discussion of\this matter. However, the tip was a poor one, for - the Democratic candidate* stuck to a general discussion of the mayoralty, race, condemning Shank for what they termed a lack of a constructive program for the management of city affairs for-the next four years, and made a,point agaiDst him on the charge that he had resigned under fire before the end of his term when mayr of Indianapolis. INDULGES IN NO PERSONALITIES. A . , At the very outset of the speech Mr. Ralston made it clear that he would not indulge in personalities. “I know Mr. Shank and *1 respect him personally, and. I do not .intend to in,; dulge in any abuse or attack him' on per-" sonal grounds,” he said, "hat. J do intend or a single tb>ng he will do of a constructive ideas for civic government. “He has held many large meetings on his home lawn, but no one can state one constructive argument be has advanced or a single thing he will do of a con structive nature if elected.” Mr. Ralston then quoted a statement he said Shank had made at a recent meeting to the effect that 'if elected mayor he would reward the policemen who made the fewest arrests and kept his district the cleanest. “Why we might just as well reward the fireman who makes the fewest runs. If I am elected mayor I will promise you that I will reward the man who enforces the law. If we_are going to have lax law enforcement wo might just as well give up our schools and Sunday schools and let riot run rampant. "By this 1 do not mean that I am going to give police officers leeway to invade private homes, and to dig into their cellars to see how many glasses of buttermilk a man may have. The home is sacred, it is a man's castle, and its privacy shall be respected.” Policemen will not be compelled to remain inside the city limits in enforcing

the law if he become* mayor, Mr. Ralston announced. “My opponent recently stated that If elected he would withdraw the police Into the city limits and keep them there,” said Ralston. “Why the man who would do that is doing nothing short of Inviting iiquor law violators to establish a ring of roadhouses around the city, and then saying to the bootleggers *1 will not bother you as long as you stay outside the city limits.’ ” * cites estimates OF, REPUBLICANS. Never has there bpen such a dearth of high grade Republican speakers in any campaign, the speaker said, and those who do speak always made an apology for their candidate. Only recently John Ruckelshaus said that he had been for Shank ever since he was nominated, and only a few weeks before he bad said that Shank would not do for mayor because his “yellow •blood would show up.” Now I do not believe that Mr. Shank has any yellow blood. I am only telling yon the Judgment passed by one Republican upon Uls Republican friend. “Then Judge Arthur Robinson comes out and says that we must support Shank because to repudiate him would be to xepudinte Lincoln. McKinley, Roosevelt and Harding. How these Republicans must have suffered when he was defeated four years ago! And we have Shank's own word for it that he doubts if Harding ever heard of him.” Turning to his own program for the Government of *he city, Mr. Ralston said that if elected he will follow a policy of law enforcement, and at the same time guarantee to the individual his legal rights and liberty. He also promised to keep the streets In repair and to Insist that companies building a street be held to the terms of their guarantee of the work. • “And one other thing,” he added, “I am strongly in favor of giving any districts of the city any improvements for which they are willing to pay.” GARVIN PROMISES PROCEDURE CHANGE. A radical change in police court procedure was promised by Thomas C Garvin,*' candidate for city judge, in his speech. “Under the law,” he said, “tho presumption of innocence attaches to the defendant until he is proved guilty. But as a plain matter of fact in police court as it is conducted at present this is reversed. Any man who is so unfortunate as to be arrested on any charge is presumed to be guilty by the mere fact of his arrest and he is forced to establish his innocence in order to overcome the presumption of guilt. I intend to change all this, and to make the prose-' cution prove its ease against the defeudant, and not force the defendant to establish his innocence when the State has made no case against him.” Other candidates for city offices addressed the meeting, which was presided over by Charles J. Orbison. Followiug the meeting Mr. Ralston and Mr. Garvin addressed a meeting at Tibbs avenue and West Michigan street. GERMAN M ILES. BERLIN, Oct. 6.—Unprejudiced investigators declare that the official reports of German unemployment are greatly above the actual figures. This, they assert, is to determine that Germany Is worse off than is really the case.

WEEKS PRAISES WOOD IN LETTER r ' ON RETIREMENT Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood’s services to this countrywill be remembered “long after the circumstances which denied you the privilege of commanding in battle the troops you trained, are forgotten,” said John W. Weeks, Secretary of War, In a letter written to General Wood on his retirement from the active list of the Army. Mr. Weeks classed the work which General Wood has done as contributing more “to remedy our unpreparedness for the war tham those of any other individual.” General'Wood, who has been selected by the President for the governor generalship of tbe Philippines, is expected to assume the duties of his office some time this month. “I cannot permit you to terminate your long service on the active list of the Army without an expression of appreciation on behalf of the IVar Department and of your comra.ies of the Army,” said Mr. WeekV letter. “Asa department commander on the Atlantic coast, your wise foresight organized the citizens' military training camps, and gave us thousands of young officers for the world's war. I do not consider that it is too much to say that your efforts contributed more to remedy our unpreparedness for the war than those of any other individual, and for this your country will give you credit long after the circumstances which denied you the privilege of commanding in battle the troops you trained, are forgotten. Your retirement is well deserved after this long term of eminent usefulness. Your career belongs to the army as an inspiration to high aims and energetic accomplishment. “In behalf of the military service, I wish you all success and happiness.”— Copyright, ID2I, by Public Ledgev Company.

"He who runs may read” . -but not the advertisements Are you trying to put across your message in a paper, with several editions, some bought only by the “headline readers,” or does it reach the whole family at the beginning of a day of leisure —Sunday? The . The The Time Place Ad Three considerations, in the order of their importance. The best ad is lost if poorly timed or placed.

A public speech is lost on a restless audience and a printed announcement is thrown away on restless readers. The week-day paper is printed in several editions, many people buying more than one edition. Several copies of the. same evening paper are frequently bought by various members of the family—more duplication. The edition of the evening paper that does get to the home is usually glanced at hurriedly because of the evening’s distractions—the movie, the. theater, social engagements and the after-supper auto drive.

The Star nearly every Sunday prints more advertising than any other Indianapolis newspaper any day. The time is right, the place i right, and if your ad is right, your message will strike home in
