Mr. Marshall practised bis profession

ever. his name was mentioned for the Dem

" confessed he would like to he Governor.
but insisted that he would not go cunning

"Th. Democrats Of Indiana know that 1

Despite his Indifferent attitude and the
fact that several other candidates worked

carried off tho prize With the nomination

and entered vigorously into the battle for
votes
For three months Mr.. Marshall, accom-
panied by Mrs. Marshall, sped about the
state. visiting practically every crossroad
hamlet Then, after his whirlwnd tour. he
returned 10 mis- law office and refused TO
bulge. The party leaders implored him TO
keep up his campaigning, but he said he
was satisfied with what he had done.
The result Of the election clearly showed
Mr.. Marehalls ability as vote getter, and
IL also showed that he knew pretty well
where he stood when he quit his speech
making The Indiana electorate gave him
more than 1900 plurality over Representa-

We call attention To the fact that the
Democratic party's demand for return
10 the rule Of tie people, expressed In the
national platform four years ago, has
now become the accepted doctrine OF
large majority of the electors We again
remind the country that only by a larger
exercise of the reserved power of the peo-
pie can they protect themselves from the
misuse OF delegated power and the usurp-
alton Of governmental instrumentalitles
hy special interests For this reason. the
national convention insisted on the over
throw of Cannonlsm and the Inauguration
Of system by which United states SEN
ators could be elected by direct vote
The Democratic party offers Itself to the
country as an agency through which the
complete overthrow and extirpation or
corruption, fraud and machine rule IN
American politics can be effected.

Riahts Of L abor.

We repeat our declarations OF the plat
form OF 1905, as follows:
THE courts OF justice are the bulwarka
OF our liberties, and we yield 10 none in
our purpose TO maintain their dignity.
our party has given to the bench a long
line OF distinguished justices who have
added 10 the respect and confidence IN
which this department must be jealousy
maintained. We resent the attempt Of
the Republican party 10 raise false is
sue respecting the judiciary. II is an un-
just reflection upon great body OF our
citizens TO ASSUME that they lack respect
for the courts.
1T is the function Of the courts 10 In

TO change them. The only basis upon
which the integrity OF our courts can
stand is that OF answering justice and
protection Of NE; personal liberty and

Experience has proved the necessity
OF modification OF the present law relat-
ing to injunction. and We reiterate the
pledges of our platforms of 1886 and 1904
in favor OF a measure which passed the
United States Senate in 1896. relating TO

Banking Legislation.

We oppose the so-called Aldrich bill Or

we believe the people of the country will

banking laws as will render temporary
relief in localities where such relief is
needed, with protection from control or
dominion 10y what is known a S the money

Banks exist for the accommodation of

We insist upon the full exercise OF

ME from Injustice at tho hands of those

twilight zone between the na.ion and

necessary that tho federal government

not substituted for state remedies.

We congratulate the country upon the
