its statehood, as Indiana has gone, so
has gone the union Whenever in all
these years Indiana has been won for
the national ticket, the president has
been won Whenever Indiana has been
lost the presidency has been lost
Through her whole history Indiana
has been the country's center CT poll
teal conflict, struggle, stress and
storm, and is today the Jnfailing ba-
rometer of national political temper,
political purpose, and political fortune
The candidate who can carry Indiana
the states necessary to the election OF
the natiOnaI ticket.
Though his official activities ana
experience have been within the STATE,
governor Marshall has been since MS
early youth a student of all that per-
tains to the federal government None
knows better than he that nothing
can bind or chain, or clrcumscrlDe,
or limit power but power lhdL tlle
check and balance OF power against
power is the vital principle OF our po-
litical system; that the twilight zone
is only that shadoWy region where
usurped power and seiflsh amoltlon
recklessly sport with human rights;
that simplicity and economy in govern
ment are the comrades of efficiency
and strength, and that extravaganza
is inseparable from sloth, ineff1clency
and weakness.
None is better equipped to expose
and dissolve that maze OF SOphlSms
by which interested SelfiShnesS makes
a puzzle of political power only to re-
duce it to private profit, and that
makes mystery of government only,
amid confusion, to convert it into pO-
itical and personal merchandise"
