was admitted to the bar In 1876. He
began the practice of law in Columbia [
City. Ind, and that city Is still his
home. though OF course while lie is
governor of the state his official resi-
dence is in indianapolis.
Governor Marshall is an alert, spare
man, with smooth, iron gray hair, a
gray mustache and pair OF large
bright eyes, which look keenly through
god trimmed spectacles. He has n jaw
which oyerhangs his collar on either
size and reveals disposition of ag-
gressivcness. He is man who speaks
his mind like the brisk Hooser law
yer that he Is.
Tom Marshall (as they call him in
his home town. lives In an Indiana

married the girl he met on the sum

over which Judge Marshall was pre-

after Miss Kimscy became Mrs. Thorn

Conflicts With Machine.
Governor Marshall was elected to his
present office in 1908 One remarkabl,
feature Of his administration lies IN
the fact that he has twice been in open
conflict with the Democratic state ma
chine under the leadership of Thomas
Taggart has twice defeated II and yet
has in each instance brought his party
with united front to the polls ut the
succeeding election. In 1910 he forced
| the state convention TO nominate John
! w. Kern as the party candidate for
I the United States senate 10 succeed
4 Albert j. Beveridge. A campaign on
this issue was waged throughout the
state, and the governor won by ma
jority OF only thirty in a convention OF
1,T50 delegates. The Democrats car
ried the state after n fight which won
countrywide recognition for It's inten-
sity, and Mr.. Kern was elected. The
other conflict occurred when he was
FIRST elected. because as governor he In
sisted on making his own appointments
to office. While some OF the old ma
chine politicians questioned the politi-
cal value Of the appointees, neither
Republican or Democrat ever ques
toned their fitness for the Office for
which they We're chosen.
Another Scholar In Politics.
Although possessing more practical
knowledge of politics, because Of his
experience In Indiana affairs, than
Governor Wilson OF New Jersey, Gov
ernor Marshall is, like his distinguish
ed running mate, something OF the
scholar In politics. Education is one
Of his hobbies, and his public docu-
ments have won him something OF
literary fame. He Is a trustee Of Wa
bash college, Indiana. and has tho de
gree Of doctor Of laws from Wabash,
Notre Dame university, the University
of Alabama and the University Of
Pennsylvania. lie IL not mixer I'm
the political sense OF that term, but
he Is an amiable, genial, generous and
kind gentleman, who mas no difficulty
In attracting friendships OF the most
loyal and self sacrificing character.
His friends point TO the doings of
the legislature OF 1911, which was
Democratic In both houses, as repre-
senting pretty fairly his views on pub
lie questions This record in It's i'm
portant details was as follows:
