GOV. MARSHALL CHOICE
OF INDIANA DEMOCRATS
DELEGATES Instructed to Vote
for Him Alone for PreSi-
dental Nomination.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March 21.-The
thirty delegates from Indiana to the
democratic national convention today
were Instructed in the platform adopted
by the state convention Ito present to
that body the name of Gov. Thomas r.
Marshall as the first and only choice OF
the democracy of Indiana for the nomi-
nation of President
In adopting the report of the committee
on organization the convention chose as
delegates at large to the national con-
vention United States Senators John w.
Kern and Benjamin F. Shively, National
Committeeman Thomas Taggart and G..
V. Menzier-
The report of the resolutions committee
was adopted, with cheers for Gov. Mar
shall.
Gov Marshall, who called the conven-
ton to order as temporary chairman. was
wildly cheered when he concluded his
address. Senator John w. Kern was
permanent chairman.
Samuel NJ Raston, Lebanon. was nomi-
mated for governor by reclamation.
Gov. Marshall's Address.
In his address Gov. Marshall said, in
part:
Ethics deny the dragging of personal
opponent into a public speech unless
thereby a sharp distinction between
views can be drawn. With republican
quarrels and controversies We have moth
ing to do We must appeal to the people
of Indiana on the strength of our prin-
ciples and the integrity of our candidates.
We dare not rely upon the weakness of
our opposition. and it would be cowardly
to do so did We dare
sixty years Is but a point in the circle
of civilization, yet the last sixty have
produced two men whose views will leave
an impression upon all time. No liberty
lover will ever care to forget the name
of Lincoln, and none will be able to
forget the name of Roosevelt.
Lincoln held it to be the inalienabie
right of an unsuccessful litigant to go
down to the tavern and cuss the court
1t is the theory of Roosevelt that it is
the right of an unsuccessful litigant to
go down to the tavern and oVerrule the
court.
Until the provisions of our present
Constitution with reference to officials
are tried. and until graver evils arise
than have thus far arisen, there is but
slight demand for the initiative, refer
endum and recall.
THE democratic party is not opposed
to corporations. however large they may
be. 1t does insist. however. that cor
porations shall confine themselves to the
purposes for which they are created by
the law, or that they shall yield up their
lives to the author of their being.
"A tariff for revenue, opposition to
every special privilege and deter
mination to strike it down, economy
in public expenditures, enforcement and
Strengthening of the law. and the pres
ervation of the reserved rights of the
people and of the states constitute is
sues which appeal to large majority
of the people of Indiana.
