son. lie was greatly assisted ln his campaign by his wife, who travelled with him wherever he went In fact, throughout their entire married life, this devoted couple have not been sep airated for day.
 From the moment he assumed of flee at Indianapolis, Mr. Marshall made it emphatically known to the bosses that he was the governor of all the people of Indiana and that though a Democrat, believing firmly in Democratic principles, the office of governor was going to be administer
 And this principal he has adhered to with all the firmness of his staunch soul. Being a Presbyterian in relig- ious belief he holds that whatever will be, will be and though not exactly a fatalist, he thinks that nothing can al ter the eternal decrees as to what life shall hold for every man and woman. Marshall is absolutely sincere in this philosophy and there seems to be turb his serenity. This faith, how ever, does not deter him from work ing and fighting for what he consid- CTS the right.
 He is a Democrat of old lineage with the modern views of progress sive and he presents striking figure in the ranks of his party. He believes that the man who founded the republic were far and away abler than any of our modern statesmen and thinks ab- solutely that if their aims and pur- poses are carried out the country will be safe from the rocks and the quick sands that line the political shore.
 As governor of Indiana he has de- lineated by messages to the leglsla- ture, and in public speeches, the dan gers he thinks will inevitably follow the centralization of governmental power. Holding that the union is creature of the states instead of the states being creatures of the union, he deprecates every tendency towards centralizing' of national power. As a natural consequence he opposes the Aldrich currency plan. Also he thinks that the states themselves should be left to regulate the monop- olistic corporations within their re- spective borders.
 And he is, first, last and all the time, champion for perfect honesty in public as we'll as in private life. In presenting his views in messages and in the stump he has endearcd him. self to the people by his unusual knack for dry, shrewd expressions. A very good example is found in the beginning of his message to the In diana legislature last winter, which starts off with the following advice to the lawmakers:
 "It is not unlawful for you to hold private conferences, but it is eXpe- dient. If you are wise you will avoid the appearance of evil. Beware of the man who wishes to show you a good time the day after he has been introduced to you. He has an axe to grind and he intends to chop his own wood with it. There is no money Yin honest public service! He who flies high in public office has someone holding the strings of his kite. Be- ware of the high flyer. By way of

U Indiana, the physically diminutive can x didate of the Democratic party for vice sS3apresident of the United States, was A born in North Manchester. Wabash llMAcounty, Indiana, fifty-eight years ago.
 He is scion of the Virginia family gNof Marshalls, being a grand-nephew EBOf' the great Chief Justice of the Unit ed States, John Marshall.
 His mother, who was Martha R. E Patterson, before her marriage, was ! direct desesendsmt of Charles Car t 5rolton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. His father was Dr.
 Daniel H. Marshall, well to do phy- sician, whose comfortable circumstan- ces relieved his son of all those early Y experiences of grinding poverty,
 thought by some, to be essential in
 the, formulation of a strong character.
 In 1873 MT. Marshall graduated from
 the Wabash College at Charlottesville,
 receiving the degree of bachelor of arts and incidentally achieved repu- tation for scholarship that has never been outrivaled in that institution. During his college course he became K member of the Phi Beta Kappa Greek letter fraternity, which was s founded by Chief Justice John Mar
 shall. After his graduation MT. Mar
 shall moved to Ft Wayne and took
 up the study of law i'll the office of { Judge Walter Olds On the day he was 21 years old, March n, 1875, he was admitted to the bar. He had, however, moved to Columbia City, Ind, < the year previous, where his home Nh has been ever since.
 It was not long before Mr. Marshall
 began to display legal attainments that made him a conspicuous figure in the courts of Northern Indiana. His prac-
 tice grew rapidly and he soon made of the 'staate.
 His manner, however, has always { been quiet, almost to the point of re- sMticence. But this serene front is only @the calmfless of the morally brave and the intellectually efficient Hoosier
 Governor.
 Along in the early sos Mir. Marshall, Bwhile acting as special judge in the :. circuit court at Angola, met Miss Lois xKimsey, who was acting as a deputy vfor her father, who was clerk of the court. It was not long before the
 special judge began to turn his atten- stion to that branch of the law which comes under the general head of "do-
 mestic relations" and in 1895, he sub 6mitted his brief to Miss Kimsey. His
 able presentation of the case, was so
 able that she was induced to become Mrs. Marshall of Columbia City, She lis brilliant woman, possessing great TpersOnal charm, which qualities have made her social favorite, both in
 sColumbia City and in Indianapolis.
 This quiet, unobtrusive man had Espursued his course with so little noises Esthat when the Democratic party of
 Indiana nominated him for governor in 1908, everybody asked, "who is Tom
 Marshall?' The nomination had come to him unsought, but since it had
 come. he went out after the election
 with an energy and frankness, which
 won for him big majority over his
 opponent Representative ",Jim' Wat

had not engaged in a duel since the
passage OF the statute on the subject
and that he would not DO so during

The "Daisy" is silver-lead propo-

Gently received an assay certificate
from the United States Smelling COM

letter making an offer of 500, net, for
the high grade and 1878, net, for the
low-grade. Owing to the fact that the
latter carries 55.5 per cent lead, the
smelling company was very anxious to
secure it.
A force of men are at work taking
out the ore, and considerably more
than a carload is now on the dumps.
Shipping has been delayed until a
bridge can be constructed across the

the Humboldt river at Mill City. AS
soon as this has been completed the
mine will be a regular shipper.

La TOILETTE ASKS
LEADING QUESTIONS

1t is claimed that before Colonel
Roosevelt SHE'D his hat into the ring.
he had made an agreement to support
Senator LaFollette as the "Progres-
siveV candidate for president. After
he had concluded to run himself that
promise was calmly repudiated, with
out apology or explanation. Since
that time LaFollette has missed no oc-
casion to take fling at the Colonel
and will undoubtedly prove thorn in
his side as long as he remains in the
llmelight. At his home town of Madi-
son, Wisconsin, the other day, LaFol-
lette gave out the following printed
statement:
Big business, with big money de-
rived from unfair privileges, is ever in
politics and ever is ready to place its
funds back of likely winner, who
either is subservient, in the sense that
chisel is subservient to the hand of
the carpenter, or serviceable to the ex-
tent that he is harmless in perform
ance.
Special privilege puts money into
political campaigns by way of invest
ment. For such investments it de-
mands substantial rewards. 1t is to
protect the public interest from re-
wards such as these, conserved in twi-
light and consummated in secret that
the people demand publicity of cam
paign contributions.
Theodore Roosevelt entered the
contest for the presidential nomina-
tion as Progressivve. He made a
strenuous campaign for votes and a
noisy scramble for southern delegates
on the ground that he represented pro-
gressive doctrine. In this fight he had
the backing of the steel trust and
the Harvester trust.
Financial giants like Perkins,
Hanna and Munsey contributed to his
cause. His campaign was character
lied by riotous expenditure of
money. Yet he has made no public
accounting. He has not taken the
American people into his confidence.
He has ignored the progressive pTin-
ciples of publicity
