 Indianapolis, Ind, August % doverncr Thomas R. Marshall of In diana, officially learned this after neon that he had been nominated for Vice President of the United States by the Democratic party. He was formally notified by committee of notification headed by Judge Alton k. Parker. of New York, who was tempertary chairman of the Balii- mere convention.
 Judge Parker's speech was extem- poraneous. He was followed by Gov ernor Marshall, who accepted in a carefully prepared speech the high honor put upon him.
 Those who expected Governor Mar shall to deal series of smashing blows at his political opponents were disappointed. Aside from mention of the tariff the Vice Presidential nom- inee did not deal specifically with any of the big throbbing issues of the 1912 campaigns. He did, however, dwell upon the apparent unrest of the people and predict that 80 per cent Q fthe voters of the United States are today Democrats in that they be- lieve in the political principles enun- ciated by Thomas Jefferson.
 Governor Marshall decried the "bandying of epithets and appeal to the personal saying, i've may safely leave to that dementia which has seized the so-called Republican party the personalities of this campaign"
 As to the rival platform he says the voters who believe that the cost of production at home and abroad should be capitalized to the manufac- turer of this country and who wants an oligarcny 10 rule, may vese the straight Republican ticket; the voter who believes in a similar protective theory but who prefers to an oligar- chy that the President. shall be the s,a may vote the progressive ticket; the voter who believes this govern ment should be turned into Social ism, may vote the Socialist ticket; the voter who thinks that church and ssate are not separate in America and that the people have a right to settl< religious questions and to determine by the ballot what is good and what IS bad, may vote the Prohibition ticket; and 'all those who insist that it is not the business of government to equalize the cost of production to the manufacturer until it equalizes the difference in the purchase price to the consumer at home and abroad, who believes that the only equaliza- ticn justifiable in our government is the equalization of opportunity, who thinks that public office is a public trust, who does not believe that diggruntled and defeated politicians are genuine reformers, and who think that reforms are net born with sore toes may vote the Democratic ticket" A plea is made for the abolition of class and in it's stead the establish ment of national brotherhood. In language which the speaker describes as snome spun', but which at times was employed in phrases Of striking rhetoric the speaker pleaded the cause of the commoners against the rich who, having mere than they can use, still seek further to enhance their fortunes through special privi-. lege. In his peroration the Governor said:
 If l doubted the return of the his- toric Democratic party to power would fail to right the wrongs of in- dustrial life, to wipe out the injus- 1ices of legislation and preserve the opportunity of every man for happi- ness than my voice, now weak. would be silent If did not believe that Insofar as human agency can, this party of ours will promote brother hood of mankind. I would here and now repudiate it.
 x Governor Marshall did not refer to Theodore Roosevelt by name. nor did he mention the trust question nor woman's suffrage.
