in this world"
Mrs. Marshall has watched over his
administration OF the affairs Of Indiana
with jealous care. There has been
nothing Of the spectacular In hts ad-
ministration- 1t has been a sane gov
ernment The laws that he has fought
for and won show the spirit Of the
man. They are uplifting. They deal
with the improvement Of man, woman
and child
While Governor Marshall IL describ-

Governor Marshall is not a dodger.
He has his opinions, and he lets them
be known. While he Is an organization
man, he knows that organizatioms ase
not perfect-that they can make mis-
takes. II they make mistakes he
thinks 1t is his duty to say so and get
the saying over at the first possible
moment.
Mrs. Marshall Is not satisfied with
her domestic duties alone. She wants
to do her share In problems OF tie 20
litical and business world. Mrs, Mar
shall is said to have discussed n de-
tail with her husband his actiopS on
the Baltimore convention, and Wh6n IL
was seen that Marshall was the fsAn
who was going to go on the tioket
with Wilson he wanted to know what
his wife thought about it.

settled the matter with Governor Mar
shall.
Mrs. Marshall had the honor es be

clerk of Steuben county by her fsher
and held that Office for a nuE1b<r Of
years.
WheG Governor Marshall and his
wife were about to be married she de-
cided that her last official act OF the
office would be to make out the mhr-
riage license. Governor Marshall ac-
companied hie wife to the county
clerks office and watched her with
care as she noted the records In 8e
big book and filed out the license and
watched her as she carefully signed
her fathers name, with her own as
deputy.
Mrs. Marshall, having blotted the
ink, said, Now we can 60"

Why, we are all fixed," explained
Mrs. Marshall, pointing to the noefse.
Yes. but / have to pay for IT," re-
piled the governor. IT'S all right for
you to make it out, but it's up TO me
to pay the fee" And he did.
Mrs. Marshall is a keen studsnt
and, having established. the practice q
goins with her husband on all hft
trips, be they short or long. they naAs
1t a point to carry along some b0on
