RALSTON TALKS ON CITY NEEDS BEFORE WOMEN Candidate Points to Perils Confronting Young in ‘Open’ Town. CAUTION OF FRED HOKE An appeal to the mothers wss made by Boyd M Ralston, Democratic candidate tor mayor. In an address yesterday afternoon at the Harvey House, formerly the Gardner home. Thirty-Fourth and Meridian streets. The meeting was held In connection with a series of teas being given by the Democratic women during this week. Approximately 500 women attended. Other teas will be held as follows: This afternoon at the home of Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke, 115 South Audnbos road; Wednesday afternoon, at the Women s Department Club, Meridian and Seventeenth streets, and Saturday afternoon at McClain's Hall, Hoyt and State streets. Fred Hoke. Mrs. Martha YoU Marson, Democratic candidate for city clerk; Mra. Maude Swift Anthony, Democratic candidate for city council and Mrs. Grace Bodetunlller, director of women’s organization work for the Democrats, also made addresses. Mrs. Isaac Born presided. Mr. Ralston emphasized the necessity Os haring a clean government in Indianapolis to protect the growing boys and girls, which he termed the "Bowers of the boms life." TOTES SEEDED XOff, IT EVER. "If ever women's roles were needed they are needed now,” he declare 1. * "I Was present at th ceremony a few days ggo when Mr. Cadle dedicated that great tabernacle to the memory of his mother. But I say to you tuat if your boys are out bootlegging you will have that wonderful church for no purpose. I do not Intend to sling mud or abuse my opponent —I have not done so at any time—but a few days ago one of the emissaries from these same bootleggers came to ins and asked me if I knew which side piy bread was buttered on. Nor, do I believe Mr. Shank is as Ignorant as be tries to make people believe he Is. I rather believe he tries to make people believe he talks in their Duguage. When ha said he would bring his policeman entirely within the city he made a little , statement which was a passing remark to all the bootleggers that ‘if you bring it Ja, we will see to it after it gets in.’ "I therefore mean, that the women’s vote is a great force in deciding whether Indianapolis shall be a city in which they Want their children to grow up In— Wtether It Is as near like a clean, pur# home as is possible for a city to be. And 1 believe that the good people are with the Democrats this time because they know that we intend to make it like eyery mother's sentiment, which is- to have It a kingdom on earth.” Mr. Ralston scored Mr. Shank's appeals to the laboring people as attempts on tis part to turn labor against its employers and to prejudice the poor unjustly against tho rich. He also stated that Mr. Shank's attitude toward race questions Will cause a race war if he should be elected.
FOOLISH CHARGE GIVES DENIAL. "I baTe been quoted as having said that ! I would beat the negroes over the head and throw them over the bridge into the canal," be said. “I am here to assure you that I will do no such thing. I also promise you I will give free license to run wild neither to white nor black.” "Too many promises are being made,” said Mr. Ralston, referring io Mr. Shank's campaign pledges,” which can't be stood by, and the makers know they can't be lived up to while making them. I believe the clean people of Indianapolis are going to stand by ns wholeheartedly to help us make this a One progressive city in which every father and mother vril! be glad to have their children grow up In.” Mr. Hoke pointed out that while he had every reason to like Mr. Shank and .considered him a "good fellow." there were a thousand other men In the city whom he liked equally as well, but who do not possess the capacity "any more than the candidate of the Republicans who aspires to do so.” “In fact,” said Mr. Hoke, “I believe there are at least fifty women present who are better fitted In many respects to render intelligent and conscientious service to their city than Mr. Shank. “The Republicans are making a great talk about Mr. Shank being a good home man. I say that the man who has a wife to help him steer and then can't be a good home man shouldn’t be elected to anything—much lesa mayor of a great city like ours.” WOMEN LRGED TO VOTE RIGHT. The women were urged by Mr. Hoke to vote according to their “consciences” and not to be influenced by their husbands and brothers. “Sometim* though It seeajs to be the other way,” he said, •dots of women were enfranchised long before they ever had the ballot. This is an opportunity for women to show they are in faTor of good government, the plea upon which they gained the ballot. 1 appeal to them us makers of homes.

He Will Place , Wreath on Grave of Unknown as U. S. Army Man.
By ROBERT BARHI. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Nov. I.—We have with us tonight Americas “Greatest hero in the World War.” He comes by the title somewhat tardily, considering that- the fighting ceased three years ago this month, hut he gets it formally and officially from the War Department. He is not the scrappy second elder from the backwoods of Tennessee, Sergt. Alvin York, who gave battle to and captured 132 Germans after bis patrol was surrounded and outnumbered ten to one. Nor, even the gallant commander of the famous Lost Battalion —Major Charles S. Whittlesey—who told the Germans to "go to hell” when hts battalion was cut off in the Argonne and held out against amazing odds until help arrived. He is a tall, sandy-haired “reg'lar sergeant Samuel Woodfill, son of a Welch father and a German mother. and ; born in Bellevue, Ind. He was In Washington today, because he had been chosen by Gen.’John J. Pershing as America s greatest hero, after the general of the armies had reviewed all the outstanding feats of the war, to find .the infantry's body bearer for America’s “unknown dead soldier on Armistice day. Although on bis breast he wore the Congressional Medal of honor; the legion of honor- the Croix de Guerre with palm, and the 'insignia of the Order of Prince Dsnilo the First of Montenegro, the name of Woodfill occasioned no excitement around the State liar Navy Building. Not even a photographer or a movie man pursued him. Newspaper reporters had to learn of him from the V’ar Department Press Bureau. And. the department itself knew so little of him, it had to begin tonight an inquiry into the manner In which he gave up the captaincy that went to him for his bravery. He was a lieutenant during the war. Now he is Just a sergeant, doing duty in a recruit company at Fort Thomas, Kentucky. What did Woodfill do in the war, to
State to Keep an Eye on East Chicago Election
State and Federal agents will be in East Chicago, Lake County, during the city election there Nov. 8. Mrs. Edward Franklin White, dtputy attorney general for Indiana, said today. Reports have reached her, Mrs. White said, that the lawless element will try to usurp the city government in the election in an effort to run a "wide open" town. “The situation there is the worst of any city in the United States from the viewpoint of the prohibition enforcement

rank above Sergeant York and Major Whittlesey in the estimation of General I’ershlng? Here Is all he did. It is his citation for the medal of honor. “For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond tba call of duty in action with the enemy at Cunel, 1- ranee, Oct. 12, 1918. While he was leading his company against the enemy his line came under heavy machine gun fire which threatened to hold up tue advance. WORKS HIS WAY AKOIND WEST. “Followed by two soldiers at twentyfive yards, this officer went out ahead of his first line toward a machine gun nest and worked his way around Us flaDk, leaving two soldiers in front. “When he got within ten yards of the gun it ceased firing and four of the enemy appeared, three of whom were shot by Lieutenant Woodfill. The fourth, an officer, rushed at Lieutenant Woodfill, who attempted to club the officer with his rifle. After a hand-to-hand struggle. Lieutenant Woodfill killed the officer with his pistol. His company thereupon continued to advance tintii shortly afterward another machine gun nest was encountered. ‘‘Calling on his men to follow. Lieutenant Woodfill rushed ahead of his line in the face of heavy fi e from the nest, and when several of the company appeared above the nest he shot them, capturing three other members of the craw and silencing the gun. “A few minutes later this officer for the third time demonstrated conspicuous daring by charging another machine gun position, killing five men in one machine gun pit with his rifle. He then drew his revolver and started to Jump the pit whan two other gunners only a few yards away turned their gun on him. Failing to kill them with his revolver, be grabbed a pick lying nearbj' and killed both of them. Inspired by the exceptional courage displayed by this officer, his men pressed on to their objective under severe shell and machine gun fire.” Sergeant Woodfill enlisted in tbe 11th Infantry in March, 1901, and has been reenlisting in the Army right along. He was at something of a loss today to
rfficers and the desirable element,” Mrs White said. “The election holds the most dangerous potentialities of any city election in Indiana. “The East Chicago situation is worse than that in Terre Haute during the Donn Roberts regime. The people > are called upon to choosa between vice and decency. “One ticket advocates the *wlde open’ town and proposes to seize the election by any means at its disposal. “The question at issue is whether illicit booze and crooked politics shall prevail”

MRS. GOODWIN TELLS WOMEN How Quickly She Was Built Up By Vinol When Weak, Rundown And Nervous
MRS. H. H. GOODWIN READ HER LETTER
Dukedom, Term. —"I was in a weak, nervous, run-down condition, and always tired so I could hardly drag around. A friend told me what Vinol had done for her when in this condition. I tried it and it is simply remarkable how rapidly it has built up my strength.”—Mrs. H. H. Goodwin, Dukedom, Tenn. If such women could only realize the change that Vinol will make in their appearance, by restoring strength and~health, they would not rest until they had started its use. For all run-down, nervous, anaemic conditions, weak women, overworked men, feeble old people and delicate children, there is no remedy like VINOL. Your druggist will return your money if Vinol fails to benefit you, and it is only SI.OO per bottle. Henry J. Huder, druggist, Indianapolis.—Advertisement.

Illinois Central System’s Territory Leads the Nation in Production The Illinois Central System, extending from the Great Lakes and the upper Missouri River valley along/the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, serves the most productive district in the world. This wonderfully fertile territory, drained by the nation’s three greatest water systems—the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers—furnishes the ruw material to feed, clothe, shelter and warm many millions of the world’s population. ' . The fourteen states which are directly served by the Illinois Central System’s 6,233 miles of riylway lines are: Alabama Kentucky Nebraska Arkansas Louisiana South Dakota Illinois Minnesota Tennessee Indiana Mississippi Wisconsin lowa Missouri These fourteen states are less than 30 per cent of the number in the Union. Their territory of 797,79 b square miles is only 26.3 per cent of the total area of the United Stutes. But how much greater are the percentages which show their leadership in the substantial things of the world! t Forty-five per cent of all tbe farms in the United States are located in these fourteen states, and in 1920 they produced crops valued at 39.2 per cent of the total valuation of all the farm crops of the country. The farms in these fourteen states are equipped with farm buildings valued at 46 per cent of the valuation of all the farm buildings of the country, and with farm machinery valued at 46.3 per cent of the nation’s total. In praMieally every farm crop these fourteen states as a whole take a pre-emi-ment leadership, despite the great variety of climate and soils encountered between South Dakota and Louisiana. In 1920 they produced 65.9 per cent of all the corn, 30.7 per cent of all the wheat, 62.4 per cent of all the oats, 45.3 per cent of all the barley, 49.1 per cent of all the rye, 30.9 per cent of all the white potatoes, 45.6 per cent of all the sweet potatoes, 39.8 per cent of all the tame hay, 61.3 per cent of all the wild hay, 27 per cent of all the cotton, 63.7 per cent of all the rice and 42.5 per cent of all the tobacco produced in the United States. The Illinois Central System’s territory also is a leader in livestock production. The fourteen states on January 1, 1921, contain’d 46.8 per cent of all the horses, 49 per cent of all the mules, 43.1 per cent of all the cattle, 19.3 per cent of all the sheep and 62.2 per cent of all the’ swine on the farms of the United States. The aggregate value of the livestock in the fourteen states was 41.4 per cent of the aggregate value of the livestock on all the farms in the country. In addition'to farm leadership, the fourteen states served by the Illinois Central System produced 37.5 per cent of all the lumber and 34.5 per cent of all the bituminous coal produced in the country during 1920. , The Illinois Central System is proud of the magnificent territory which It directly serves with transportation. Transportation is the factor which gives real value to the excellent production of these states. We are constantly endeavoring to contribute our part toward making this territory of even greater productive value, especially by rendering a service of satisfaction to our patrons. We are eager to be of service because that is the end for which the Illinois Central System exists. Constructive criticism and suggestions aro invited. C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System.

Afton, Tenn.—“l want other sufA fennjf women to know what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. During Change of Life I was in bed for 18 months and had good care, but did not improve. A friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which I did, and in a short time I felt better. That was five years ago, and now when I feel run down and nervous I take the Compound and it always does me good. I wish all women would try It during Change of Life, for I know it will do them good.’’—Mrs. A. Keller, Afton, Tenn.
