There are several items on the first page of this issue of the paper regarding the death of Senator Samuel Ralston. FRIENDS PAY TRIBUTE TO SENATOR SAMUEL RALSTON BY PRESIDENT BRYAN "In the death of Senator Ralston our state and nation lose one whose ability, integrity and courage are everywhere recognized. I recall an instance of perfect physical courage when he walked out of his office when Governor to face a mob among whom were men threatening his life. I recall among many instances of unusual courage the occasion when as a candidate for United States Senator he spoke in defense of the public utilities commission before a powerful body of men who had met to oppose it. "I recall his courageous service as Governor to higher education. In 1913, we asked for a tax in support of the University twice as large as we had been receiving. Governor Ralston after due consideration proposed and carried through a measure giving us nearly three times as much as we had been receiving. Higher education in Indiana has never had a better friend than Governor Ralston. Beyond all this had the privilege of being his friend and he was .. ater to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator Benjamin F. Shively. Ralston did not hesitate to name his friend, Taggart, an appointment which won approval from Republicans as well as Democrats. Mr. Taggart had been responsible more than any other man for Ralston attaining the governorship, but Taggart sought no favors from the administration and Governor Ralston was left entirely free to make his appointments.
