of the burdens from those who have none,
 He does not approve of ship subsidy. He declares that the payment of sl00,oOO 00v per annum would not equal the At lantic traffic alone. He is favor of bulld- ing up our merchant marine by changing cur navigation and traffic laws. If you are going to have ship subsidy" he says, why not have Illinois put duty on oranges. so that Illinois owners of hot houses can go into the orange business or kill the horses so as to force the use of automobiles"
 The governor is not at all excited about present political prospects. He thinks naturally that he is destined to take the place in the Senate now occupied by Sunny Jim" sherman after the 4th of rext March. He believes firmly that the convention at Baltimore did the wise th'&s in selecting Woodrow Wilson as the head of the ticket. He believes that in In- diana the Roosevelt ticket will receive at least 5000 votes, and he says that is not enough to do Roosevelt any good, but 1t will do Taft lot of harm, and will make the state solid for democracy, He adds, however, that if there was no Roose- velt in the field the state would go for Wilson and Marshall any way.
 Progress Must Come Slowly
 Governor Marshall believes that true rrogress in legislation is made slowly and rainfully,( and mainly through education. he does not expect to accomplish every thing at once. The progress of the gov ernment in eliminating the trusts,' he says, has been equaled only by the frog which jumped one foot and fell back two. The trusts can be eliminated by the States. If you are desirous of starting this elimination, enact a law forbidding any corporation from holding or owning the capital stock or any portion thereof, Of other corporations, and compelling the sale of such stock, if 1t now owns it; mak- ing 1t unlawful for any foreign corpora ton whose capital stock or a controlling interest therein is owned or held by any other corporation. holding company, vot- ing trust. or syndicate to do business in the state; forfeiting the charter of do- nestle corporation offending against this law tc do business in the state, and pre- venting the use of the courts to enforce contracts made by corporations violating this law, and providing additional penal ties for the violation thereof"
 MT. Marshall believes in tariff for 'revnue only" and in that as in other tnings Is in full accord with his party.
 Whenever Congress, he says, under the guise of raising money, makes an enactment that in reality raises no money, but simply makes you and me dig into our pockets and hand over our small coin to the protected manufacturers, 1t has ceased to be a government of equal rights end fair play. Any system of tariff leg islaticn now or hereafter enacted, which is so devised as to enable larger or smaller portion of the American people, to take tribute of the residue of the American people, Is not conducive to tfS common good
 Talks About Himself
 Mir Marshall says of himself
 'I' don't shoot l wouldn't step on worm if could help 1t. Seven years ago l established reputation as a fisherman. We were on the lake at Petoskey. Mrs. Marshall caught fine string of perch and pike. I caught five dogfish. I have never fished since; shall never fish again.
 Tt is well I didn't run for governor at the age of 45, instead of nearly ten years later. Tn all probability 1 would have ruined myself. Deficient in philosophy and in balance, I would have spent all my accumuations in a headlong strug gle to win. As it was the state commit tee asked for $ls00 My stumping tour cost me s1700-railroad fare. hotel bills. and few cigars for the boys,
 q am fatalist. In law suits and everything else do all that can Wnue am in the fight, but l never worry about the outcome. I am not responsible for results If my client IS accused of murder and the jury IS out I go to bed and to sleep and get the news after breakfast in the morning. What is to be will be and staying awake will not change it."
 The governor claims that once after having a run of typhoid fever he was re- duced in weight to sS pounds. and that for years thereafter he doctored himself and engaged the services of specialists, old women and quacks, and then bought 50 cent bottle of medicine and was cured.
 It would be a great advertising stunt for the prpounder of that bottle Of medi- cine to get the nominees picture in the papers along with his testimonial.
