PROPOSES RISK
- OF LAFAYETTE
FORGOVERNOR
Record of Democratic Service
and Popularity Shown by
John R. Jones.
An effort, having for its purpose the
inducement of James K. Risk of Lafay
ette into the race for the democratic
nomination for governor, has been
launched by John R. Jones of Plymouth.
Mr. Jones, ■who, as a member of the
legislature, fathered the Indiana primary
law which was known as the Jones pri
mary law, has been for many years an
active worker in the democratic ranks.
He is one of the democrats of the state
-who were several years ago known as the
“forward-looking democrats,” who con
ducted a vigorous campaign for what
* they termed more pronounced and prog
ressive ideas in state government.
Mr. Risk, who recently outlined in The
Times his ideas of a platform for the
present campaign, was a candidate for
governor in 1016, was active in the Wll
son-Bryan league and has been recently
solicited to enter the present fight as a
candidate for governor by a large num
ber of democrats who are anxious to see
a vigorous campaign waged with a view
to compelling candidates to take their
stands on the issues of the day and ap
peal for support on known programs.
Mr. Jones' preliminary effort, to erys
tnlize this demand for Mr. Risk's can
dney has taken the form of a letter
which has been sent to a large numbd
of democrats asking their telp in in
diicing Mr. Risk to announce his can
didacy. Mr. Risk is in the east on a
business trip at present and it is planned
to ask a decision from him as to his
candidacy immediately ou his return.
EXPERIENCED IX
ORGANIZATION WORK.
Mr. Jones’ letter is as follows:
“As an active working democrat with
much experience in organization work,
who has served bis township as trustee
six years; who has served his county
ns clerk of the court four years, and
two terms as state representative, all
of which affords me the opportunity of
knowing Indiana democrats; when I say
Indiana democrats I mean men who have
rendered real service to our party by
being square in the open.
“If our party hopes to win in Indian*
in the coming campaign it will be abso--
lutely necessary to have a candidate for
governor who has stood for democratic
measures and bas supported openly the

great moral issues, viz., temperance and
woman suffrage.
"There are, no doubt, a great many
democrats in Indiana who command the
respect and confidence of the rank and
file of our party, but in ail my ac
quaintance I know of no man who bet
(er suits the situation/ as it is today
to become democracy's standard bearer
as their candidate for governor than
the Hon. James K. Risk of Lafayette,
Ind.
“I have known Mr. Risk intimately, so
cially and politically, for a quarter of a
century. He is a man who fights in the
open and always stands for true demo
cratic principles and high ideals. It was
largely due to his leadership that the
Jones primary bill, of which the writer
was the author, was written into law - .
Mr. Risk gave full sixty days’ time dur
ing the Indiana legislature in 1915 in the
interest of the direct primary law’ and
other reform measures. He volunteered
his services and paid all of his own per
sonal expenses. He took the position
that the democratic party ij state con
vention, in 1914, agreed in their platform
that a primary law should be enacted,
and Mr. Risk believes that party pledges
should always be kept. The writer is
very familiar with every move that was
made in the support of the Jones pri
mary bill and knows well the great serv
ice rendered by Mr. Risk to the dem
ocratic party and the larger service be
rendered to the state of Indiana.
“It was Mr. Risk, as a rnemner of the
democratic state committee in 1906. who
put through a resolution binding the state
committee to a roll call and record vote
on every question coming before the com
mittee. ' He also presented a resolution
in 1906. which was approved by the state
committee, preventing the state commit
tee using its influence, as a committee, in
selecting or nominating candidates. The
resolution condemned dark room meth
ods and pledged the committee to a
square deal and an open policy, with no
inference in tbe selecting of candidates.
Mr. Risk was responsible for the two
days' convention policy, believing that the
great democratic party should have am
ple time in their convention to transact
the party’s business.
“Mr. Risk bas served his party in an
organization way to a great extent. In
1906 be was the precinct committeeman
of his precinct at Lafayette, and also
was city chairman. He was precinct
committeeman in his precinct in the
county, and also county chairman. He
was also a member of the democratic
state committee, representing the Tenth
district. He was very active in the
state committee in 1906 and is responsi
ble for the reforms mentioned above.
“Mr. Risk led the fight in 1908 against
what is known in Indiana for almost
n quarter of a century as the machine
crowd; while he was unsuccessful, he did
demonstrate a very marked ability as an
organizer and forceful, open, clean and
square fighter. It was conceded by our
Thomas R. Marshall that it was Mr.
Risk's influence that had much to do in
nominating Marshall for governor.
VOTES SHOW
POPULARITY OF MAN.
“Mr. Marshall received more votes in
190S than had ever been cast for gov
ernor in Indiana. He received 73,(MX)
more votes that year than Mr. Ralston
received four years later, and I might
add that Mr. Bryan received 58.000 more
votes in 190S than Wilson received in
1912. and Mr. Wilson and Mr. Adair re
ceived several thousand votes less In
1916 than Bryan and Marshall received in
1908. T desire to call attention to the
slump in the democratic vote, since 1908,
for the purpose of showing that positive,
open party declarations are necessary to
attract the voter.
“Mr. Risk contended in the primary
fight before the legislature that if the
people were entrusted with the selection
of their candidates for the legislature
great, progress would be made in secur
ing reforms. Tbe .Tones primary bill was
written into law and the members of the
1917 legislature were selected under the
primary law, thus coming direct from the
people. That legislature passed the con
stitutional convention bill: passed a lim
ited suffrage bill; gave the women the
right to vote for ali offices, except those
specified by the constitution, and this
same legislature passed a statutory pro
hibition bill. T have often heard Mr.
Risk say that the small part he bad vo
do with putting over the' primary law
was the best investment be had ever made
and brought tbe best returns.
“Mr. Risk was an active executive
member of the Indiana Pry Federation,
an organization of which W. J. Bryan
was the national president and which
had a national membership of more than
20.000.000 people. The Indiana Dry Fed
eration closed its Indianapolis office Im
mediately after the 1919 legislature rati
fled the federal amendment. Mr. Risk is
a district member of the National Anti-
Saloon league, and has championed the
cause of woman suffrage for a great
many years.
ALWAYS CLOSE FHIEM)
OF MR. BRYAN.
“1 am proud that it is my privilege to
know that Kirby Risk has always been
a follower of and a close personal friend
to W. J. Bryan. In fact, Risk has been
responsible for Mr. Bryan coining into
Indians on more occasions than any man
or any group of men. He has stood with
Mr. Bryan in ali of his great fights. In
speaking of Mr. Wilson, our great presi
dent, Mr. Risk always praises Mr. Bryan
for making the nomination of Mr. Wil
son possible at Baltimore in 1912, and In
re-electing him in the west In 1916.
“Mr. Risk Is one of the best-known
men in Indiana, and knows more people
personally than any man to my knowl
edge. He is a successful manufacturer,

owning a half Interest in a splendid fac
tory producing a product that is known
all over the United States and Canada.
Mr. Risk has carried his idea of qual
ity and efficiency into his product, guar
anteeing it on a sixty-day trial, shipping
it to any part of the United States or
Canada, assuring the purchaser if it does
not meet the guarantee it must be re
turned to the factory and freight charges
from the factory to the purchaser's sta
tion will be refunded. Mr. Risk believes
that the government should be operated
just as economically and as efficiently as
a man operates his own private business.
Mr. Risk’s action in his political, social
and business life always invites confi
dence and gives confidence in return.
“My attempt in the 1913 legislature to
have a real primary law' passed failed.
I asked the democrats of Marshall county
to return me to the 1915 legislature that
I might have one more trial in having a
primary bill passed. My purpose of de
airing a primary law for Indiana was to
enable the voters to nominate their can
didates without any interference and to
make it possible for candidates to enter
the primaries with the knowledge that
they would hare tbe opportunity to pre
sent their views on state questions to the
people, thus enabling the .voter to select
the person best suited for the office.
“I believe if the democrats of Indiana
can prevail on James K. Risk to become
a candidate for governor at the coming
primary he will be nominated; and I
freely believe he will be elected in No
vernber. His candidacy will appeal nor
only to the democrats of Indiana; but
will appeal strongly to the temperance
dement of all parties, will appeal to
the women voters of the state and cer
tainly his candidacy will appeal espe
cially strong to the great progressive
vote, that left the republican party
in 1912.
PROGRESSIVE FORCE
WILSON’S ADVICE.
“ludiana democrats, do you recall the
advice given by President Wilson at
Tomlinson hall in January. 1915, to keep
in mind that progressive force which is
in neither the democratic or republican
party, yet. holds tbe balance of power
in government? He advised the demo
crats o? Indiana and especially the demo
cratic members of the 1915 legislature
to act. in such a w-ay as to attach this
great progressive force to the democratic
party.
“I am interested in tbe Risk candi
dacy, as I beiieve him to be the strongest
candidate that the democratic party can
nominate. The women voters, the tem
perance forces, as well as the independent
and progressive voters will all demand
an open statement from each candidate
—where they have stood and where they
now stand orr all the great questions that
are now before the people. We will find
that Mr. Risk's answers will not bo eva
sive, but will be straight from the shoul-
