RALSTON REPLIES TO QUESTIONS OF A. U. L. PRESIDENT Declaring he never has and never will align himself with any organization with purpose counter to the Constitution of the United States, United States Senator Samuel M. Ralston Thursday afternoon answered a letter of Jacob Morgan, president of the Marion County branch of the American Unity* League, which asked, among other things, if Ralston is a member of the KuKlux Klan. The letter of Ralston, who is regarded as a presidential possibility, reads:

Mr. Jacob Morgan. 1208 National City Bank Bldg., Indianapolis. Ind. Dear Sir: I have a letter, signed by you as president, purporting to be written me under date pf November 19th, 1923, by order of the American Unity League, in which my attention is called to the fact that “the time is drawing near when Senator-elect May field will appear in Washington to claim his seat in the United States Senate.” and in which certain ques tions, numbered from 1 to 6, inclusive, are propounded to me. By question 1 you desire to know If I “regard Senator-elect Mayfield's j membership in the Ku-Klux Klan as , consistent with loyalty to the laws and the Constitution of the United States.” By question 2 you ask if I “regard Senator-elect Mayfield of Texas as worthy of a seat in the Senate of ; the United States, since Senator Cul ; bertson and others charge hipi with | having received vast sums of money | from the treasurer of the Ku-Klux Klan to bring about his nomination ; and election. Quizzed On MayQeld our third question is: “Will you vote for the seating of Senator-Elect , Mayfield, when the question comes up i before the Senate of the United ’ States?" The above questions all call for my ; opinion on matters, which I assume from your letter, that you believe j will come before me after I have taken my oath of office, to be passed upon by me in a quasi-judicial way, and if you are right in your assumption, I am going to do you the honor of sav ing that your sense of justice is such that you will not. on further reflection, want me to pre-judge, as a judge, any man’s case that shall be submitted to me fpr a hearing. For me to do so \ would, of course, be a gross violation j of official duty, and would render me \ unfit to hold a seat in the Senate. You profess devotion to the Constitution and to Americanism. May X ask you. therefore, to reflect on the fact that it is a basic principle of Americanism that every man shall be entitled to a fair hearing before an impartial tribunal before conviction for an offense, or the infliction of a penalty upon him. Certainly your love for justice is such that it would ; shock you to knotv that I had de liberately taken on a frame of mind that would render it impossible for me to give Senator-elect Mayfield a fair and impartial hearing. Does Not Belong Your fourth question is: “Are you a member of the Invisible Empire of the Knights of the Ku-Klux Klan, or of the organization known as the Royal Order of Lions, which is affiliated with, the Knights of the KuKlux Klan?” My answer is, that I am not now, and never have been, a member of either of these organizations. I do not want to be offensive, but I feel that I should say to you that from the information I have, and have had for some time. I think I am justified in believing that you knew, or had strong leason for believing, before you propounded your questions to me, that I was not a member of either of these organizations. Perhaps in full candor I should add, that I am a Master Mason, a Sahara Grotto Mason, a Knights of Pythias, an Elk, a Presbyterian, and a Democrat. Your fifth question reads as follows: "Do you believe in the officially announced program of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which openly de Clares that Jews, Catholics, negroes SECRET OF HIS SUCCESS One of the most noted, successful and richest men of this country in a recent article said, “Whatever I am and whatever success I have attained in this world I owe it all to my wife. From the dav I first knew her she has been an Inspiration and the greatest helpmate of my life.” Health Is the first essential of' every woman who wants to be a successful wife and to hold the love and admiration of her husband. If a woman finds her energies flagging and dark circles appearing under her eyes, she has backache, headaches, nervousness and “the blues.” she should take Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com pound, the medicine which holds the record of helping 98 out of every 100 woman who try it. There Is nothing better. —Advertisement. For the Cough That Sticks

Common Cough Syrups Won’t Help You’ve Got to Make Your Own. Cheap and Best For any kind of a cough, but especially for the stubborn one that persists- and keeps you awake nights this home made cough mixture will quickly loosen the phlegm, allay the inflammation and stop the cough. You can make it yourself at home in two minutes by following these instructions: Get from any druggist one ounce of Parmint (double strength)—to this add & little granulated sugar and enough water to make one half pint—that’s all there Is to it. and children like It. Like a soothing, healing poultice one costly substance In this home made mixture spreads itself the membrane of the throat. This causes the most stubborn hang-on cough to cease almost instantly. No ordinary slow-acting cough syrup contains this expensive ingredient. It's a mighty fine remedy for chest cofSs and acute nasal catarrh, and remember that any remedy that over comes catarrh, partially or wholly, Is bound to be of benefit to those who are troubled with head noises and catarrhal deafness. Get Parmint and get better.—Advertisement.

and foreign-born citizens of the United States are not 100 per cent American, and should be discriminated against on acount of race, creed, color or birth-place?” My answer is th t I hold no such view of these people, as a class, and if you had followed me in my campaign for the Senate you would know that Ino not. I suppose you will concede that there were disloyal Jews, Catholics. Negroes and foreign-born citizens in the recent w. r, just as there were some "ull-blooded Amerleans, who were, in that war. disj loyal. Disloyalty, however, on the part of a few shoulc. not condemn a ; class, and no citizen should have his rights under the American Constitution discriminated against or denied him. Question An Insult Your sixth question reads: “Finally, are you for the Constitution of the United States and the ideals of the A&ierican Republic, or for the an nounced jftinciples of the Ku-Klux Klan and he Invisible Empire?” This question is an Insult, but I will answer It. I do not believe that the Ku-Klux Klan, or any other civic organization has announced principles and Ideals the equal of those set forth in the Constitution of the United States, and. as between the principles of such civic organizations and the Constitution of my country. I am, uncompromising iy, for the latter. I regret that you have not learned from the little part that I have had in Indiana politics, that I have never failed, when it was seemly for me to mention the subject, to declare my un-

GOLDS IHAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion. an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is anew medical discovery w'ith twofold action; It soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the germ. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treatment jof chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, Is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to serious complications. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist. Creomulsion Company, Atlanta, Ga. —Advestisement.
