RALSTON SAYS HESTANDSFOR PEOPLE’S RULE Democratic Nominee for Senator Delivers Address Before Pike County Crowd. URGES BROAD VERSION WINSLOW, Ind., June 10.—‘I believe In the rule of the people,” was the keynote of a speech made here today by Samuel M. Ralston, Democratic nomluee for the United State* Senate from the Sev- j enth District, before a Dike County Democratic meeting. Mr. Italston supported i this, as he termed it, “common-place declaration” with his idea of what service to the people consists and outlined his policy in the event of his election to the Senate. "In order that the people may rule, throngh their official representatives. It is essential that such representatives ascertain what the people want, and In order to do this, he must ascertain of course what the majority wants, since j this Government is supposed to be r\ia by majority rule,” he said. "In the event of my election to the Senate, it will be my ambition to ascertain, if possible, the will of the majority. When that Is once ascertained, whatever my individual opinion might be, it should yield to the expressed opinion of the majority. I want the people, therefore, to be perfectly free and active in getting before me what they desire that I should do for them, at Washington, if they conclude to send me there. PLEDGES SINCERE EFFORT TO SERVE ”1 shall studiously seek to determine the things that will count for most for the people of this country and advocate the measures that will bring this to p‘;x, whether the people have instructed me thereon or not. In other words. It shall be my ambition to serve ail the people to the highest purpose possible, without regard to religious creed or party affiliation. The men who differs from me on religious questions or party principles will be given the same open minded and conscientious consideration, when he has a matter to present to me. as will the man whom I am in harmony on all questions. Anj-thing short of this course, on the part of an official, will, in my judgment, tend to defeat the objects of our scheme of government. ‘Tn a free and representative government, like ours, it is most essential that officials and the people do teamwork. It is only by such a policy that the greatest good can te accomplished for our country, and I think this fact is becoming more and more to be generally understood. We are not living unto ourselves as one people as we formerly did in the early days of our Republic. The world has grown, and to keep pace with this growth we have had to extend our vision upward and outward. URGES NATIONS TO 15E NEIGHBORLY. *'l have been advocating, ever since the close of the war. the Importance of this country proceeding, without delay, to establish a workable relationship along commercial lines with foreign nations. The party tn power has apparently been indifferent to the necessity of advocating such a policy. The party in power has been inclined to live th* life of a recluse and not to touch elbows or strike palms with the rest of the world. This is a short-sighted policy and. in the end, will result In disaster to our country. “I was most highly gratified to see that the recent convention of credit men. held at Indianapolis, went on record favoring a closer relationship between this and other countries, and that this country proceed to open up ways to foreign markets with the countries across the sea*. This convention very aptly pointed out that we cannot enjoy the market* of fr.r(eigu nations unless we make it possible for those nations to trade with us. In other word*, we are not going in the direction of prosperity, in this country, jts long as we fall to have frofitable commercial relation with foreign countries The farmer, the manufacturer and the laborer cannot take this too strongly to heart.” HELFIN MAKES ROBBERCHARGE Alabama Senator Says Head of Reserv e Bank Is Dominated. WASHINGTON', .Tune 10.—Governor W. P. G. Harding, head of the Federal reserve board, is dominated by a "gang of robbers.” Senator Heflin. Democrat.

SCHOOL BOARD RESTS IN WAR AGAINST GR AFF Efforts to Deprive Superintendent of Lawful Right Seem to Have Failed. GAME OF FAVORITES Plans of the majority faction of the board of school commissioners to strip E. L\ Graff, superinu adent of schools, of the right given oiiu by law to appoint the teaching and administrative force of the public school*, apparently have failed, for the time being, at least. After a six-hour session Friday, the board adjourned without taking action on tlie appointment of three assistant supenn undents and other positions, which, if is said, the majority taction is very anxious to till with Its own favorites. Shortly before adjournment. Superintendent Graff said that he was ready "to make recommendations for these positions, but Charles L. Barry, Adolph Emhardt and Dr. Marie Ilnslep, members of the majority faction, apparently were not ready to take action, and the matter , was passed for the time being. This is taken by many persons famillur with the ’ workings of school politics to moau that the superintendent Is standing on his legal rightb ami has refused to surrender his appointive powers to the board, and that the majority faction has delayed action, hoping to bring sufficient 1 pr< ssure to b.-ar oti him to force him to’ accede to their wishes. LAW GIVES SI PEKIN YEN DENT POWER. Under the law the superintendent is! given tile power to appoint ail principals, supervisors, assistants and teachers. and it takes four negative votes on the board to overrule the action of the superintendent From present indications the majoritymembers are helpless, if Mr. Graff stands firm. Os the five members of the board, Bert S. Gndd undoubtedly will vote to uphold the superintendent, and. after W. i>. Allison virtually had been called a liar by Dr ilaslep and Mr. Em- t Uardt at trie protracted meeting yes- : terdav. it is believed doubtful if Cum-nns-loner W D. Allison will lino up with majority faction in tlie case. The lung meeting Friday, one . ' .ne stormiest among the man} stormy aptlugs for which the school board is .’a no.us. adjourned without having a'’- i eomplish-d anything of importance ex cent the naming of teachers for the] school v.-ar of 11*22-1923. No fight came] tip on this list as the disputed positions j lull are on the special list. Before the u. -ting had been tinder way an h"'.r every member of the board, with t.. sole exception of Mr. tiiid 1, had been a cased of tv-lug a liar by some cue. ] Right in the midst of the melee Jeff Lmxi*. wh > call* himself "king of the h<>b... s.” put in an appearance and told the hoard f the w..rk ho* had been doing among school . ui.dron. In closing ho said that he had teen the cause of several r. naway boys ‘"kissing mother and agreeing to !>e good." ’ ItOVKD PI.EASED WITH DAVIS' WORK. The board expressed itself as highly : pleased w.th the w rk Mr. Davis had done, but he left the meeting without ha-.u.tr incui-oited any of the “kiss audio .ke-up spirit” among the board members, and the wrangling w* resumed Just where it had left off when Davis ap--1 * a red. .Vrion of the board tn abolishing the ' offices of the seven district seporin- ; t . indents and other a imlniatratlve officers brought down the ire of a large delegation of visitors who protested against ths j action. Commisgioncrs Emhardt and Barry | crated at great length over the changes, but did not specifically answ.-r a number ; of direct questions asked by member* of the delegation as to the whys ar.-g wherefores of the matter. There was a vast amount said about “loving our dear s, -holds ’’ “the welfare of the child.” “reef..ring India..apolis schoois to the high position they formerly occupied,” “economy” and ot her kindr 1 topics, but for the 1 most part the orators contented ttiems. Ives with g nerailties and did not get ! d..wn to U.dividu’d cases, r.g they had ! been asked to do by members of the dele- ] (ration*. It was very noticeable that although ! the quest', -a of whether the majority mend , rs of the hoard arc trying -to •usurp th legal rights of the superintendent wn*> raised frequently that Superintendent Graff *nt through the entire it ottng without donylug that such was the case. Another meeting of the instruction comiriitt's* will iui held toda y r r Monday to take tip th. appoint nicnr of the administrative and supervisory officers. The thnsj board members composing the majority faction nr., member* of this ■ omuvtt. rud it is satd hr friends of Sup- riutf-ndeni Graff that at this meeting ! a last desperate effort will bo made to ! force him to gUv up his appointive powI or* to the board.

FEDERALJUDGE SEES TIME OF COURT WASTED Fails to Understand Why Asked to Hear Case. "Why the time of the court is taken up In trying cases like this is moro than I can understand,” Judge Albert B. Anderson said in Federal Court today during the trial of Clarence Wampner, formerly employed as teller at the Indiana National Bank, charged with embezzlement of about S7OO of bank funds. Other defendants involved In the same or similar transactions. Miss Naoini Cochrane and James Knight entered pleas of guilty some time ago. but Wampner stood on his piea of not guilty and insisted on standing trial. The Government apparently made a strong case against Wampner and several times Judge Anderson remarked he could not understand why the case was brought to trial. Miss Naomi Cochrane, formerly assistant to Wampner in the exchange teller’s cage, and Indicted with him, was the star witness for the Government. According to her story Wampner told her lute in 1918 the bank was getting too much money out of exchange and told her they would split some of the money between them. This was done for a period of about two years. Then, she said Wampner was taken to another department, and she carried on the same scheme with Knight. When asked what her duties were with Wampner she answered: “Oh, I Just did general flunkey work for him." The transactions extended over a period of more than three years nml involved, according to bank officials about $3,000. Wampner was not connected with all of them. Miss Cochrane, a very prepossessing young woman, was cool and deliberate on the stand and told her story In a deliberate, straightforward manner which apparently Impressed the Jury. When she was testifying ns to how much money they took out of the exchange fees, Judge Anderson said; "Your theory was to take nil the traffic would bear.” “l’es, I guess that was It,” Miss Cochrane answered. The case probably will reach the Jury today.

PARTIES MAKE DEAL TO VOTE ON TARIFF BILE Democrats Said to Be Willing to Have Public Pass on Issue. BOOMERANG FOR G. 0. P. WASHINGTON, June 10.—Negotiations between Republicans and Democrat* for readjustment of the Senate legislative tangle were In full swing today, with the Democrat* reported to have agreed to the passage of the tariff bill early In July. By that time the Democrats are said to he willing to have the Republicans go to the country with the measure In the hope that their denunciation of It as "certain to increase taxation and living costs.” will cause it to react as a political boomerang upon the Republican party. Republican proponents of the bill declared. however, they were confident It would meet with overwhelming public approval. So confident were the Republican leaders of reaching a working agreement with the Democrats so ns to allow for the passage of the bill within another month | that they were exerting strong pressure ; on Senator McCumber, Republican. North ■ Dakota, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, to abandon his plan to displace It for the soldiers' bonus bill. Canvass of the Senate situation which disclosed much more formidable t pposi- . tion to the bonus than existed six months or a year ago. was said to have discour- ' aged Senator McCumber In pursuing his ! original Idea that he could secure an agreement to permit the bonus bill to i slip through after two or three days of j debate. I The Intention of both Republicans and ; Democrats to amend the measure and the determination of Its opponents to • talk it to death, if possible were rei ported to be other elements of the situation which were influencing Senator McCumber to reconsider his plan.
