Mrs. Marshall has watched over his
administration OF the affairs of Indiana
with jealous care. There has been
nothing of the spectacular in his ad-
ministration. It has been sane gov
ernment. The laws that he has fought
for and won show the spirit Of the
man. They are uplifting. They deal
with the improvement OF man, woman
and child.
While Governor Marshall is describ-
ed as a tender hearted" executive,
nevertheless, he Is fighter. He be
longs to the old fighting stock OF Vir
ginia.
Governor Marshall Is not dodger

champion caught the attention Of the
crowd and held 1t while he was say.

legs got crossed and refused to carry

A great wave Of gayety swept over the
house. The orator seemed perfectly
amazed at the sudden change in the
temper of the convention. A second

they were laughing at him. The sweat
began to roll down his cheeks and melt
his collar to pulp. He raised his
hands In. prayer to the crowd He
implored them to be silent while he

mocracy. They only laughed the

that greeted Governor Marshall in the
big coliseum in the state fair grounds.
Indianapolis, on Tuesday were the
greatest in the history of the party
The west wanted to show the east

honors, and, while Mrs. Marshall was
happy OF course, over the honors for
her husband, she was also worried, for
her husband comes mighty close to
being father husband. son and part
ner all in one And when a woman
has that combination on her hands to
care for she has every right to be
worried.
Governor Marshall will never gain
any honors as a hammer thrower He
is not built that way.

Mrs. Marshall is not satisfied with
her domestic duties alone. She wants
to do her share in problems of the po-
litical and business world. Mrs. Mar
shall is said to have discussed in de-
tail with her husband his actions on
the Baltimore convention. and when 1t
was seen that Marshall was the man
who was going to go on the ticket
with Wilson he wanted to know what
his wife thought about II.
1T won't be any harder than being
governor of Indiana, and II the party
thinks you are the man It only agrees
with my opinion" she said, and that
settled the matter with Governor Mar
shall.
Mrs. Marshall had the honor OF be-
ing the first woman In Indiana to hold
an ONCE. She was appointed county
clerk OF Steuben county by her father
and held that ONCE for a number of
years
When Governor Marshall and ais
wife were about to be married she de-
cided that her last off1cial act OF the
Office would be to make out the mar
riage license Governor Marshall ac-
companied his wife to the county
clerks office and watched her with
care as she noted the records in the
Sig book and filled out the license and
watched her as she carefully signed
her fathers name, with her own as
deputy.

ink, said, Now we can CO."

and having established the practice Of
going with her husband on all his
trips, be they short or long. they make
it point to carry along some books.
Mrs. Marshall Is as much of hu.
manitarian as the governor. A glance
81 some OF the bills that have been
passed by the 1911 Indiana legislature
gives an insight into the governor:
To curtail child labor.
To regulate sale OF cold storage
products.
To require hysienic schoolhouses
and medical examination of children.
The prevent blindness at birth.
To regulate sale of cocaine and 9TH
er drugs.
To provide free treatment for by.
drophobia.
To establish public Fairgrounds.
To improve pure food laws.
To protect against loan sharks.
To provide police court matrons.
To prevent traffic In white slaves.
To permit night schools.
To require medical supplies as part
OF train equipment.
Governor Marshall has also played
an active part in providing for protec-
tion Of labor, as Is exampled by the
following acts:
To create bureau of inspection
for workshops, factories, mines and
boilers.
To establish free employment agen-
cies.
To require full train crews.
To require safety devices on switch
engines.
To require efficient headlights on
engines.
TO require standard cabooses.
TO provide weekly wage etc.
And Governor Marshall has con-
suited with his partner" on all these
bills He is quoted as saying a man
cant go far wrong in taking the ad-
vice of wife-if she is his partner as
we'll as his wife.
