A ,,tn iipninut nurrender nf local

DEATH CALLS
SfOftlSION
OF INDIANA
Democratic Leader of Middle
West Passes Away at Farm
Home, 67 Years of Age-
Death Expected and Family
Bade Farewell Sketch of
Picturesque Career
INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 15. ( A. P.)
Samuel M. Ralston, 67. Junior United
States senator from Indiana, and ven
erated patriarch of Indiana democ
racy, died atlils estate, Hoosier home
near here last night after an lllnetiS
of six weeks,
Death came to the senator after
twenty-two hours of unconsciousness
climaxing an attack of uraemlc poi
soning which had confined him to his
bed since September 5 and which had
impaired his health since early this
year.
Members of his family and more
than a score of intimate friends were
gathered at the home to receive the
news, shortly after eleven o'clock last
night that death had come, henator
Ralston had known for some weeks
of his condition and had hade his
family and friends farewell before
lapsing into the coma which preceded
his death. i
Mine runner in his early youth,
Kalston farmed and taught school be-
fore turning to the study of law,
which opened a political .career for
him-UJid brought him in 1 B 1 2 to the
governorship of' Indiana and In 1922
to the united states senate.
Surviving him are the widow, a
daughter and two sons, a brother, a
sister and a nephew of Indianapolis.
Funeral arrangements are expected
hy friends of the family to provide
for interment at Lebanon, Ind., the
senator's old home, from which he
was elected to the governorship.
Sketch of Career
Honored by the highest offices
within the gift of the people of his
own state governor and senator
Samuel Moffett Ralston steadfastly
refused to accept the call of his party
America can bestow upon her sons.
Twice during the memorable dead
lock between William O. McAdoo and
Governor Alfred' R. Smith at the New
York convention In 1924 the party
chieftains turned to Senator Ralston
to lead Ihe way out, at first firmly,
and then Irrevocably, he declined to
become the democratic standard
bearer.
With the characteristic modesty
that had endeared him to his Hoosier
neighbors, Senator Ralston had made
his resolution long before the strife
and turmoil of those sweltering July
days in Madison Square Garden had
so completely recast the complexion
of the political horizon. His decision
was communicated early to bis inti
mate friends, and he remained ada
mant to all their pleadings.
The -time came during the early
summer of 1924 when he might with
modesty have made a public ileclara'
tlon. Speaking to the Indiana state
convention which desired to Instruct
the stuie delegation for him, he said:
. "r,ere is something about the
greatness of this -exalted position thai
