WATSON THINKS RALSTON WILL H TICKET Indiana Colleague of Hoosier Candidate Thinks - He Is Already In, By C. A. RANDAU Times Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 28.—Senator Jim Watson thinks Senator Sam Ralston will be the Democratic nominee. “'I can’t see how they can do anything- but nominate Ralstoi,” he told every one within earshot in the Waldorf lobby Friday night “Well, well, Senator, what brings you to this Democratic sink of iniquity? Watson was asked by friends. “You know, don't you,” he replied, "that it is the fashion now-a-days- to appoint unofficial observers? Well, I’m an unofficial observer and I serve without pay, pay my own expenses.” “Were you regularly appointed?” he was asked. “Yes, but by myself, not by Secretary' Hughes,” laughed the Senator. Then he continued more seriously: “Truthfully, I’m over here on business. I have not been to the convention at all yet. I’m going today and I’m going to sit as a delegate, too.” He pulled from his pocket a delegate ticket. “They’ll think I’m Tom Watson revived.” “As you look things over. Senator, what do you think of the convention and the outlook?” “Well, you know I’ve looked about and I watch things. It seems to me that they can’t do anything else than nominate Sam Ralston of our State. They can’t nominate 11cAdoo. They won’t nominate A1 Smith. They won’t nominate John Davis, and they won’t go to Carter Glass. I can’t see how they can do anything but nominate Ralston.” "Then for once you and Tom Taggart are in accord.” “Well, Sam's a fine fellow, and is honest as they make them. He may be 66 years old, but I’ll tell you he’ll make us scratch like the dickens out in Indiana if he heads the ticket.” “He’s going to be hard to beat In my own State.” With that the Senator turned to greet another group of friends and was busy hand-shaking for at least five minutes.

Ralston was at his office early this mprmng going over his mail and reading the papers. Friday afternoon he was filmed by a news reel service on his farm at “Hoosier Home” and a Chicago service was to get the Hoosier Senator in action today. “You’re getting to be a regular movie queen,” one admirer told the Senator. “Yes, it seems anything is liable to happen now, doesn’t it?” Ralston answered, smiling his wide Hoosier smile. Mrs. Ralston is taking a great deal of interest in the convention proceedings and is spending much of her t : me at the radio installed at the Ralston home.

AUNT SARAH PEABODY At the Convention

'A„o-raf=a— -

By AUNT SARAH PEABODY EW YORK CITY, June 28. —On my way to the convention hall this morning I realized what it is that’s getting on my nerves. automobile horns and the general noisiness and bigness of a large city. Why, the tall buildings actually shut out the sunlight. They call them skyscrapers here and I don’t wonder. One of them has a belfry on it ten stories high. And privacy? There is no such thing in New York. Only last night 1 saw agirl making pancakes right in a front window. She was pretty good at that. Didn’t drop a one. There is some privacy, however, in the Democratic conventional hall. Every State has its own liCleplace. And there is a big sign to tell you which place is for what State. It seems there is big favoritism in these signs, w'hile I think of it. OHIO and lOWA have very small signs, while MASSACHUSETTS and MISSISSIPPI have great big ones. And, at the same time, the favoritism doesn’t apply to the convention chairs. I’ve already sat in practically every State section, and one seat is just as uncomfortable as another, and you can’t see or hear much from any of them. I finally took a chair in one of the sections where there were a lot of women. And I accomplished more than I have on any other day. While the rest of the delegates were shouting and marching around and making speeches, I knitted two pairs of mittens, one necktie and wrote five postals. I couldn't find a letter box in the hall so I went outside* to mail the postal cards. No one said anything when I left the conventional hall, so I guess the convention will get along all right without me until tomorrow.

By Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind.. June 28—An ice-price war is on here. Today ice sells at 36 cents, against 60 cents iast year and 50 cents with which the season opened. This price is equalled only by the 30-eent rate obtained in 1913, when wages were one-half of what they are today. It is believed the present price is unequalled in the United Spates. Delegates to Reprt Reports on the Toronto convention of Rotary International will be made by Indianapolis delegates at the noon luncheon Tuesday at the Claypool.
