Washington Sees in Ralston 1924 Presidential Possibility Bu o. c. Lroy Times Staff Uorretpondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Washington sees in Senator-elect Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana a contender for thè Demoeratic presidential nomination in 1924. He cornea to thè Senato with thè prestlge of having whipped Beveridge, who. liimself, was considered presidential tlmber by a substantlal element in thè Republican party. But a stronger factor In Ralston' favor, in thè view of politicai observers here, ls thè fact that he appears to have had thè strong support of both farmers and union labor in hi senatorial contest. Unquestionably thè Deriocrats will look to thè Middle West or West for their next presidential nominee. The concensus of opinion here is that Ralston, if he plays hls cards right In thè Senato, will be in a good a posiUon as any Democratlc possibility, and in a better position than many of them, to have thè lightning strik him.
