NOMINATION BY ACCLAMATION.

[Washington Special to the Indianapolis Star.] Charles B. Clarke, of Irvington, one of the wheel-horses of the Democracy in Marion 'County! whose loyalty to the Democratic party has caused him to be nicknamed ‘ Old Hickory,” dis cussing the political situation, both state and national, while spending a few days in Washington, said: “Sam Ralston will be nominated for Governor probably .by acclamation, Big-hearted, big-bodied, with a giant brain and a face on him like a benediction, he is an ideal candidate lor the campaign before us. The fight waged against him is popularizing him. The charge made against him that he is the creature of bosses finds its best refutation in his life and character. He is too well known for that kind of i campaign to succeed.” In 1908 Mr. Clarke supported L. Ert Slack, of Franklin, for the nomination tor Governor.
