Waning Popularity.

Three years ago last r riday was Taft day in Brook, and the residents will not soon forget the enormous crowds that were here on that date. It is doubtful as president if I aft would draw halt the crowd he did three years ago when he was only a budding prospect. —Brook Reporter (Rep.)

Mr. Ralston for Governor.

. The Times takes great pleasure today in announcing the candidacy of Hon. Samuel M. Ralston of Lebanon, who will ask for the gubernatorial nomination at the next Democratic state convention. - The Times is delighted to present the claims of Mr. Ralston from the fact of long party service and for the further reason that the people of the Ninth district, especially the Democrats, and many who affiliate with other political parties are urging his nomination. Besides, Mr. Ralston has the hearty, unanimous endorsement of the Democratic editors and county chairmen of every county in the Ninth district, which he merited, and which came to him at Frankfort today, without his asking. It is generally conceded by all grateful Democrats, not only in the Ninth district, but throughout the state, that Mr. Ralston is the logical Democratic candidate for governor and is entitled to the nomination without asking for it, owing to devotion to his party and his continued services in its counsels and on the stump. M.r. Ralston ranks among the foremost Democrats in Indiana and e has stumped every section of the state for his party at the sacrifices of his own time, money and energies. To such men, the party owes much and now is the time to reciprocate the favor for past services, when he asks for an honor. The next state campaign will be a battle royal- and the Democrats must put forth a candidate who can take care of himself on the stump, espouse the cause of the Democracy and its sacred principles and ably meet all issues involved during that struggle. Mr. Ralston has the physiqpe to endure such a campaign, the ability to contend for and and defend every Democratic principle and the tenacity to justly combat all opposition that may be hurled from the camp of the enemy, in a way that his party would be proud. Mr. Ralston needs no eulogy from The Times fori the reason that the confident, progressive, militant Democrats of the Ninth district appreciate his worth and services and. are behind him. knowing him to be a good moral man of courage, whose honesty, integrity and sincerity of purpose can not be questioned. It is this model man —honorable, charitable, religious, able and eloquent—big hearted Sam Ralston —that the people of the Ninth district want for governor. They are ready to vouch for his sterling qualities as a man and citizen and appeal to the Democrats of the whole state to join them, in bringing about his nomination and election.—Tipton Times.

Prince Louis wished to abandon the navv when a midshipman because of the difficulty he found in mastering the English language.
