Mrs Marshall is not liatisilod with
her domestic duties alona She wants
to do her share in problems Of the po-
litical and BUSINESS world. Mrs Mar
shall is said to have discussed in de-
tail with her husband his actions on
the Baltimore convention, and whom 1t
was seen that Marshall was the man
who was going to go on the ticket

bis wife thought about it.
1T won't be any harder than being
/ governor Of Indiana, and If the party
thinks you are the man It only agrees
with my opinion, she said, and that
settled the matter with Governor Mar
shall.
Mrs Marshall had the honor of be-
ing the first woman In Indiana to hold
an office. She was appointed county
clerk Of steuben county by her father
and held that Office for a number Of
years.
When Governor Marshall and his
wife were abQpgto be married she de-
cidcd that her last official act Of the
Office would be to make out the mar
riage license Governor Marshall ac-
companied his wife to tho county
clerks Office and watched her with
care as she. noted the records in the
big book and filled out the license and
watched her as she carefully signed

you to make 1t out, but it's up to me
to pay the fee" And he did. q
Mrs Marshall Is a keen student,
and, having established the practice Of
going with her husband on all his
trips, be they short or long, they make
it point to carry along some books
Mrs Marshall is as much of a hui
manitarian as the governor. a. glance
at some of the bills that have been
passed by tine 1911 Indiana legislature
gives an insight into the governor:
To curtaH child labor.
To regulate sale OF cold storage
products
To require hygienic schoolhouses
and medical examination of children.
The prevent blindness at birth.
To regulate sale Of cocaine and 9TH
er drugs.
To provide free treatment for hy-
