It was the sort of thing Gates loved. It could only have happened in the political world of another generation. If a bunch of governors did that now people would probably think they were crazy. Gates had a remarkable insight into Republican and Democratic politicians of various degrees of competency, liberalism and conservatism. He could, with remarkably few errors, mark them down as good, bad or indifferent, and if he knew you well, and had learned to trust you, he would tell you.

He might read the pedigree of some present or former politician and often end the discourse with a grin and say, "Oh, my God, that was some time." In the last interview this reporter ever had with Gates, in December, he told me was "a crook." I said, "Now, Ralph and even though he wasn't feeling well, he leaned forward in his chair in his home at Columbia City and said: "Well, he is. You know that!" But in all his long political career, he never had a time or an event to equal his triumph of 1948. He couldn't run for re-election governors then could not serve two consecutive terms and he wanted the Republican nominee for governor to be Hobart Creighton, then speaker of the Indiana House and a wealthy poultry-man from Warsaw. The convention favorite, though, was William Jenner, then a U.S. senator who wanted to be governor, and who came back to run after making a statement he would rather wash the steps of the Monument on the Circle than dance the Missouri Waltz on the banks of the Potomac.

(Harry Truman was president then.) Gates, furiously active, calling the shots in the Fairgrounds Coliseum, heated to a high temperature by both the weather and emotion, maneuvered to stop Jenner even though the Bedford Republican led by some 200 votes on the first ballot. Two other contenders, Walter Helm-ke of Fort Wayne and Alvan Burch of Evansville, neither in the running but with about 200 delegates each, both were willing to listen to Gates and did not want Jenner to be the nominee. When the presiding officer of the convention, then GOP state chairman Clark Springer, had to leave the rostrum for a moment (Springer was a Jenner backer) Atty. Gen. James Em-mert took the gavel and Helmke and Burch, prodded by Gates, went to the podium, withdrew, and asked their delegates to support Creighton.

A majority did. Creighton defeated Jenner by 39 votes in the first convention ever in which delegates voted in secret on voting machines, and then lost in the November election to Democrat Henry Schricker. It was Gates' greatest political triumph, and if he had some private, doubts about winning that day (he did), he never let them show. Ralph Gates was skilled in the practice of law, government and politics, a man who contributed much to his profession, his state and his party. And while he did that, lie enjoyed himself, he enjoyed life, he enjoyed what he did, in a long life which ended Friday at the age of 85.

Ralph Gates, who was buried in Green Hill Cemetery today in Columbia City, brightened his life and those of his family and friends with a marvelous sense of humor. It showed up in his practice of law, in his long involvement in politics, and in the years he served as governor, 194549. He served as chief executive in the last months of World War II, and then in the difficult postwar period, and he served well, but for him politics and government were anything but grim matters in which you never smiled or laughed. He laughed a lot. He told stories endlessly, to political and governmental friends and associates, to reporters who found covering him and his administration pleasant and exhilarating.

Stories about growing up in Columbia City, and his attorney father, Benton Gates. Stories about Navy service in World War about Republican politics and American Legion politics in the 1920s, 1930s and early 1940s. He was a born story-teller, with a nice sense of timing and a touch of subtlety that made it important for you to listen closely or you might miss the point and the import of the punch line. He was full of native Hoosier wisdom about what to believe and not believe in politics, the importance of dining principally on bacon and eggs while campaigning don't care how bad the restaurant Gates would say, "there isn't too much they can do to spoil bacon and and how you should never get so mad at a politician that you couldn't ever work with him again. "I never saw the man," Gates once said, "that I could get so mad at politically that I couldn't get in bed with him the next day." More than three decades ago he asked a young reporter just starting out in the business of covering state government if he would also be doing some politics.

The reporter said that probably would be the case. Gates leaned over and said, "Remember, some of these people will lie to you!" then grinned and let out one of those marvelous laughs that always seemed to start way down ip his toes and come up. He could arrange a party on the spur of the moment. Once, riding through Churusbusco late at night in the governor's car, with some administration officials and a reporter, he saw a light on in the home of an old friend, a lady lawyer renowned for her skill on the trap drums. "Stop the car!" Gates roared to his driver, James Buchanan.

The travelers piled out of the car into the house, and listened appreciatively, after a bottle of bourbon had been produced, to a rendition on the trap drums. In 1947, traveling by train to the governor's conference at Salt Lake City, Gates came back through the cars, gathered up a couple of newspaper friends, and led them to a private car hooked onto the rear of the train. Jimmy Davis, then governor of Louisiana, and a country western singer of some note, had his guitar out and was obliging with such perennials as" Red River Valley" and others.
