MARSHALL A NEW ARRIVAL
Never in Politics Till He Ran for
Governor Eight Years Ago.

Thomas Riley Marshall, who has been
elected Vice President OF the United
States, like his running mate, is also
a recent arrival In the political field. He
was born at North Manchester, Wabash
County. Ind. on March IA, 1854, and was
graduated from Wabash College in 1873.
Two years later he was admitted 70 the
bar and began the practice OF law at
Columbia City, Ind, finally establishing
the frm of Marshall & McNagny, which
afterward became Marshall. McNagny &
Clugston.
Mr. Marshall practised his profession
thirty-three years without a thought OF
entering politics, although he had been
offered a Congressional nomination. In
1905, however, his name was mentioned
for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor. He frankly confessed he would
like to be Governor. but insisted that he
would not go cunning for the nomination.
The Marshall administration In Indiana
has not been so progressive az other re-
cent state administrations, but friends OF
the Governor point with pride TO some OF
the work done by the State Legislature.
The income tax amendment was ratified,
a constitutional amendment providing for
the direct election Of United States Sena-
tors was urged and corrupt practices
and campaign publicity law passed Other
measures enacted were an employers la
bility law, new child labor laws and
law establishing a bureau OF inspection
for factories, mines and boilers.
Mr.. Marshall has been strongly crlti-
cised for not unhorsing Tom" Taggart
qs leader OF the Indiana Democracy. on
the other hand, II Is maintained that Mr.
Marshall has ignored Taggart In his ap-
pointments and has practically driven the
boss from the State House. IL was Tag
CART. however. that ostensibly favored Mr..
Marshalrs nomination for the Presidency.
and when that proved impossible cast the
Indiana votes for him as the Vice-Presi-
Dental nominee.
Mr.. Marshall received the degree OF
doctor of laws from Wabash College In
1909 Notre Dame In 1910 and the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania in 1911. He Is
trustee Of Wabash College and member
Of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Gamma Delta
and the Masonic fraternity.

Mr.. Wilson's Nomination.

When the Democratic National Conven-
ton opened at Baltimore on June % none
of the group OF candidates prominently
before the public had anywhere near
enough delegates pledged to give him any
assurance Of a nomination. with Champ
Clark. oscar Underwood, Governor VII
son and Judson Harmon each holding a
substantial bundle Of pledges, II was not

and, on the forty-slXth ballot, Mr.. Wilson
was named Mr.. Bryan, as every one re-
members, proved to be MI. Wilson's
stanch supporter in the convention.
though at first accused Of seeking his
own nomination.
From the outset Mr. Wilson was recos-
nized as the new party leader. His
wishes were deferred to entirely in the
makeup Of the campaign committee. He
was notified Of his nomination on August
Z and at once plunged into the formal
activities OF the campaign. After series
of short tours In the East he spent the
third week OF September in the Middle
West, speaking In Ohio, Iowa, Mime
sofa. South Dakota, Missouri, Wisconsin
and Michigan.
on October he departed again for the
West. On this tour he covered Colorado.
Indiana, Nebraska. Kansas, Missouri,
Ohio and Illinois. Following his return
East he made brief Southern tour.
After the shooting OF Mr.. Roosevelt Mr..
Wilson CALAMITY refused 20 do any more
speaking, except to All his Southern en-.
gagements, I'll the colonel recovered sur
fciently to appear himself. This promise
he kept making only one more important
speech, that at Madison Square Garden
last Thursday. the night after the Roose-
welt mass meeting there.
Mr.. Wilson'S campaign. 1t is estimated,
cost approximately 100000. This includes
denomination expenses Of tao,tSo.
