today were the greatest in the history
of the party.
The west wanted to show the east
what could be done in notification hon
ors, and. while Mrs. Marshall was hap
py, of course, over the honors for her
husband, she was also worried, for her
husband comes mighty close to being
father, husband, son and partner all in
one. And when woman has that CON-
binatiOn OH her hands to care for she
has every right to be worried.
Governor Marshall will never gain
any honors as hammer thrower. He
is not built that way.
While all the country was reading
the vigorous words of Governor Mar
shall which told the voters what he
expects Democracy to do in carrying
out the pledges for the next four years
it's worth while to know what part a
woman is taking in the affairs of the
campaign-how Tom Marshall hap
pens to be tn the position in which he
stands today
The good people Of Columbia City,
Ind, never thought Thomas Riley Mar
shall was a marrying man." For for
ty years he had lived with his parents,
nursing both his father and mother,
who were invalids. which was the rea-
son Governor Marshall was not a mar
rying man. He felt his first duty was
to bis parents.
Meeting Mrs. Marshall.
After the death Of his parents Gov
ernOr Marshall dived deeper into his
law practice, and one day an urgent
case took him to Angola Ind. His du-
ties called him to the county clerks Of
fee, and there he met Miss Lois Kim

Governor Marshall was forty-two
years Of age when he was married.
Mrs. Marshall being nearly twenty
years his junior.
The Marshalls had been married
only few weeks when the future vice
president was called to an adjoining
county on a case that would consume
some five or six weeks Of his time.
"Now. I did not want to be starting

should go along. And she did,
Since then Governor Marshall has
never made a trip without Mrs. Mar

not delicate man, his constitution Is
not of the most vigorous type.
when he gets into political battle
he forgets his weakness He gives all
that is in him, and that will tell on
any man. Mrs. Marshall soon discOv-
cred that the governor would become
heated in making a speech and the
next day his voice would be husky
