HOW WILL THE SOUTH
RECEIVE GOV. MARSHALL

make up for the other differences
1t Is believed here that much in the
future of Governor Marshall will de-
pend on the impression he makes in
the southland nthis trip with Presi-
dent Taft. 1t has been announced
that he will make the trip. and it is
understood that the trip is certainty.
OF course. plans might be changed,
but there is nothing now TO indicate
that they VII be.
Most Talked of for Office.
Everybody knows that Governor
Marshall is probably the most fire.
quently mentioned of any man In the
county for the democratic nomination
for president. and that there is a wide
spread, healthy boom for him through
out the land. 1t is the general under
standing. too. that while he is not do
ing anything actively to foster that
boom or to push it along neither is
he doing anything to head it off. He
goes on tho theory that If the party
wants him for its candidate for presi-
dent it Will nominate him whether lie
makes any effort or not. So he is just
letting the matter drift along and
take its own course. In the mean
time Governor Marshall Is on his good
behavior, He is governor of one of
the great states Of the Union. but at
the same time he is so new I'm poll
tics that he is merely on probation.
and he has got to make good before
he can go any further along. At least,
that is the way the talk runs.
VIII "Do HIS Durndest."
This being the case, it is presumed
| that he viii do his durndest9 while
on that southern trip to show the
| southern democrats that he is the right
/ kind. without the vote of the south
| Marshall could not be nominated for
president Everybody knows that.
| without the vote of the south no can
! didate could land the democratic nom
nation for president Therefore, since
Marshall Is in that receptive state
where he would not run to or from
the domination he VIII naturally try
! to make as good an impression as pos
sible on the trip SO as not to offend
anyone. even if he does not do any
good for himself.
On the trip down the Mississippi
river Presidtnt Taft and the party OF
governors will stop at many places
where celebrations and receptions viii
be held and speeches will be made
And right here it may be said that
none of the other governors who vii
be on that trip win have anything or
Tom Marshall when II comes 10 max
ing a speech. At that he is a master
of art And oratory goes a long way
in the south.
ThistIethwaite Keeps Things Going
