SA1 RALSTON 8 GOAT MAY BE CAPTURED BY O'BRIEN

TIMES BIREAV, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., July 12. Unless IV. H. O'Brien, auditor of state, makes an announcement before long: as to whether he will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, a certain large gentleman at Lebanon will sweat a little blood. Samuel M. Balaton, is the man that wants to know what O'Brien's intentions are, but he has not been able to thus far to find cut. Nobody seems to be able to find out whether CTBrien will be a candidate for the nomination, but the general story Is that he will not. But this doe-s not mean anything to Ralston's friends. They are too foxy Jn the- Indiana political game to accept all they hear as the gospel truth. They are like everybody else that has been stung by the Taggart crowd. They are not willing to take anything for granted. Quite a number of leading Democrats were In tills city yesterday, but they all denied that they were talking polltlces to each other. In the number was Tom Taggart. He cam up from French Uck. ostensibly to attend the horse races, but he evidently had other things In mind also. t During the day Taggart and O'Brien held a conference. One story was told after the conference was to the effect ttoat Taggart had urged O'Brien not to be a candidate for Governor. It was aid that Taggart wants Ralston nomirated, and that therefore he wants O'Brien to stay out. It is safe to say that O'Brien will get !n or stay out

cf the race for Governor, Just as Tagart tells him what to do. He has always been a big spoke in the Taggart machine In this state, and even was treasurer of the Democratic national committee during the year that Taggart was national chairman. It would be Interesting to'know Just what passed between O'Brien and Taggart at yesterday's conference. While some of the Democrats Insist that Taggart tried to talk O'Brien out of running for Governor, there are many others who are firm in the belief that Taggart did not do anything of

the kind. These latter Democrats are

aaying that Taggart is for Ralston for Governor on the surface, but that when the right moment arrives he will double cross him and throw him over the tallest building In town. Men who talk this way know Taggart and his way' of doing things. Kalstons friends are saying that Taggart Is for Ralston for Governor, and there is no doubt that Taggart would he pleased to see Ralston nominated. But Ralston's friends are nbt o sure about the rest of the Taggart bunch, they say, while they pin their faith to Taggart -they fear some of hl lieutenants. Of course, this view the 'situation Is foolish, for Taggart's followers are not going to do anything that does not meet with the approval of their boss. If" they are against Ralston It Is safe to say that Taggart Is against him. too, although he may favor him on the surface. It is this fact that has caused , some of the Democrats to look sideways when they

talk about Taggart being for Ralston. In the meantime Ralston Is going ahead and building up an organization In his own behalf as a candidate for tha nomination for Governor. Men In touch with his campaign say that he Is receiving all. kinds of encouragement and promises of support from all over the state, and that by the time the convention comes around he will have such a strong organization that no one can take It away .from him. Ralston's friends are not taking any chances on the old machine. Tliey have seen it work in the past and they know that it grinds exceeding . fine when it starts to grind. Congressman Adair of the Eighth district was another Democrat In town yesterday. Adair has been talked of as candidate for Governor but he ha.j been holding off and making no statement as to his Intentions. When ho

was asked yesterday whether he woul 1

be a candidate he said that he had beea

so busy that lie had not had time to

think It over. Therefore he did not

know whether he would or not. Th'.4 leaves his case up ,n the air, but the

general opinion is that he will not be In

the race. The Democrats of his dls

triot want him to stay there and run

again for Congress. They believe he

Is the only Democrat that could carry

the district, and that If he should desert

the district to run for Governor the district would go back into the Repub

lican column. This was suggested to

Adair yesterday, but he said there was

no danger of the Eighth district slip

tplng back Into the Republican list.

The Eighth Is a Democratic dls trict," he said. Congressman Moss, of the Fifth dls

trict, also dropped in yesterday. He Is

another gubernatorial possibility, but the possibility is very slight. It Is bo-

lieved. He declined to discuss politics. Fabe Gwln, the Democratic chairman

of th' second district, Joined the others here. Gwin has benn talked of for Democratic state chairman and has been

making frequent trips to this city late

ly to see about his chances. But the

best obtainable information at this time Is that he has no chance. Certain

elements have gotten together against

him. It seems, and Gwln's cake is dough. I Ert Slack, of Franklin, was not In town yesterday, but he was here a day or two ago. and while he gave out word that he is not a candidate for Governor. "I would like to have the homlnatlot for Governor," he said, "and I believe I could carry the state. I have a good many friends arriong the Republicans and I believe I stand well in my own' party. But I will not go Into any political scramble for a nomination. Of course, it would . mean a big fish If. I should go into the rue, and I will ant go Into such a fight." ' . - - - This is not the first time Slack has stated his intention of keeping out of the fight for Governor. It is believe! he means what he says about it. And even if he did not he would probably not get very far, for the Taggart forces would combine against him and beat him.

then stay away from the other shops. Thia Is not a hard job for any one who has much respect for his nerves and internal organs. "The matter is in the hands of the health officer of every city. While there may not be specific legislation

regarding soda water, there Is broad legislation everywhere guarding the physical well-being of the people who

constitute the community, and under

such laws there Is no reason. In my mind, why a druggist or a sod water fountain man should not be made to show exactly the sort of goods he is offering to the people."

Thousands of dollars will be spent by railroads operating In Indiana to equip freight and passenger coaches and locomotives with additional safety appliance standards within the next five years, in compliance with regulations recently prescribed by the Indiana railroad committee, says the Elkhart Review. The Lake Shore work has already begun In the "hump" car repair shop, where about fifty freight cars , have been equipped with the new standard ladders, sill steps and other features to provide greater safety for trainmen. The work will be continued here and at other repair points along the line until all o fthe company's thousands of cars are equipped. Owing to the extra work entailed, the force of employes at the shop was not reduced following the recent 10 per cent retrenchment order, and In fact an effort Is being made to secure fifteen additional expert workmen. Under the new regulations, every freight car must be equipped with four car ladders two at each end of the car, one attached to the end and another to the side of the car, and iron sill steps must be attached to each corner of every car. The regulations also require the adoption of other special safety features for locomotives and passenger cars.

Washington. July 12. The soda water fountain Is as great a menace to femininity in many cases as Is the bar room to masculinity, according to Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the government pure food and drug expert. Let It be understood that Dr. Wiley U not defending the bar room. While not a prohibitionist he is "ferninst" strong drink, and has said so officially many times. Dr. Wiley Is not opposed to soda water in Itself, nor to the gaily bedecked fountains from which It Is supplied. He Is strongly opposed to dangerous ingredients which are hidden In the foam-covered glasses handed out to young and old alike. "I am a friend of the soda water man," Dr. Wiley said. "The honest soda water man who sells real soda water Is a godsend. I would not part with him for the world. It is the man who sells injurious chemicals and habit producing drugs in soda water glasses to whom I am opposed and who Jould be driven out of the business. "1 have been quoted from one end of the country to the other as being on the trail of all people who sell soda water. I am not and never have been. But It would give me great pleasure to aid In putting out of business that contemptible class of persons who make their flavors of Injur

ious chemicals and who sell them as pure fruit flavors. "To be pure and healthful soda water should contain three Ingredients pure fruit flavors, pure carbonated water, and sugar, not sacharine or some other Injurious sweetening. To sell flavors that are made of chemicals instead of fruits Is criminal. "To begin with, what is soda water? That is one question I would like to have congress and the various state legislatures define positively. Until there is some authoritative action taken on the question there Is little reason to believe that we shall ever get pure, clean soda water in the ordinary drug store. "There Is no law which compels the druggist to put specified Ingredients into his concoction. He may put virtually anything under the sun except the poisons which are prohibited by law into a glass and squirt a little foam on top, and If the mixture is satisfying to the palate of the credu

lous he will make money. Some day I hope congress will tell us what soda

water is and what It Is not. Then we

can proceed with some prospect of aue

cess to drive some of the shysters out

of business.

"The only thing to do Is to find out

which man sells pure soda water and
