MRS. THOMAS r. MARHHALL, WIFE OF THE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR VICE PREsI-
DENT.
Mrs. Thomas r. Marshall. wife OF the
Democratic nominee for vice president,
is sure that the Democratic ticket viii
win this fall because, as she explains.
ave never been in a losing fight" SO
much for feminine logic. But should
this charming woman ever become the
second lady in the land" the role will
be In mighty capable hands.
Along in the early nineties Mr.. Mar
shell while acting as special judge in
the circuit court of Angola, Ind, met
Miss Lois Kinsey. who was serving as
a deputy for her father. who was clerk
OF the court. IL was not long before
the special Judge began TO turn his at
tentions to that branch OF the law un-
der the general head OF domestic rela-
tions," and In 1895 he submitted his
brief to Miss Kinsey. His presentation
Of the case was so able that she was
induced TO become Mrs. Marshall Of
Columbia City.
Governor Marshall recently referred
to his matrimonial life 'as one long
honeymoon" He and his wife are
chums in the very best sense Of the
word, and to use Mrs. Marshalls own
words: MY profession is being the
wife OF Thomas r. Marsnall. This Is
my business, my pleasure and my
work In life, my vocation and my avo-
cation"
The wife Of Indiana's governor has a
charming personality and is rather
above the medium height. slender and
graceful. with a frank manner that
must have been OF inestimable value
to her husband during his nedgllng
days In Indiana politics. She presides
! over the gubernatorial mansion in In
dlanapolis with ease and excellent
polse. She is fond Of reading. and her
library Is the one room which she dis
arranged In her Columbia City hom'
when her husband became governor
Neither she nor Mr.. Marshall coulC
endure the thought OF leaving theii
books out OF reach. So the favorits
ones all big corner in the library OF
the Hoosier white house.
AS for fads. Mrs. Marshall disclaims
any unless it Is her devotion 20 her
home. She makes a study OF artistic
surroundings and is to be counted
among the women who have ever
loved their thimble and needlecase,
aud all the higher education and the
distinctive talent for politics have not
Iured her from this early attachment
Although Mrs. Marshall is Of decided
literary tastes, her friends say that
few housewives can mix a better cake
or turn out more wholesome pie and
bread. And should the goddess of
the frying pan fail to appear or get
obstreperous the governors lady can
don an apron and dish up a banquet
at for a king
The Marshalls. although comfortably
endowed as TO income. are not rich
people and are entirely unobtrusive
and modest in their amenities. They
have never posed as social leaders, and
they rather dread such a distinction
but Mrs. Marshall is ''sure that she vii
like Official life in Washington"
The following very characteristic
note was sent by Mrs. Marshall 10 Mrs
Wilson before It was known that her
husband had been nominated for vice
president.
There are three daughters in the VII
son family. and Mrs. Marshall had thai
fact in mind when she wrote:
II am not unmindful OF the fact that
there are four women rejoicing where
there would have been only one hat
your good fortune been mine" A!
every one knows. Governor Marshal
was one OF the Democratic possibilities
Of the recent campaign.
