Gov. Marshall was assured that Clark
Griffith had promised the National Cap
ital the American League pennant this
year. Whereupon. the Governor prom
ised his constant attendance at the ball
park from the first OF the season to the
wind-up.
A few days ago Gov. MarshalTs sec
retary. Mr.. Thistlethwaite, went to the
Capitol to consult with some of the Dem
ocratic leaders in the Senate with regard
to the Forthcoming inaugural address Of
the Vice President. The leaders gently.
but firmly explained to Mr.. Thistle
thwaite that the inaugural addresses of
Vice Presidents should possess one sig
nal virtue-brevity. 1t was not a speech
in which the author was allowed much
latitude in the matter OF outlining pol
icies-indeed, Vice President is not
supposed to have any policies. Now.
Gov. Marshall is perturbed. He con-
fessed this perturbation yesterday. when
he said:

The Vice President will reside at the
Shoreham during the extraordinary ses-
sion OF Congress His plans beyond the
adjournment OF that session are inde-
terminate. He SAID:
There are only Mrs. Marshall and my
self to consider. We are not blessed
or accursed with relatives, so the ques-
ton or an abiding place does not worry
u.s.
Has HOosicr Drawl.
The Governor not only will grant an
interview. but he likes to talk. He
takes IT easily and never hurrIes. His
remarks are delivered in a quiet voice
and with just touch OF tho Hoosier
drawl and infection that Whitcomb
Riley. the HOosier poet, has made IA
nous. During his speech his eyes
sparkle with humOr. and he punctuates
his sallies with quick. infectious smiles
He is an epigramist Of the first order,
and each sentiment comes couChed in
words that are a little different from
what the auditor Is expecting.
Gov Marshall was discovered by the
newspaper men on his way to the hotel
barber shop after he had motored from
the station. He stopped at the door
of the shop. and when asked for an
interview he said. with a twinkle in
his eye:
why. yes. But. honestly. l would
like TO get a shave now. l will come
up to the lobby when I get through
and you grab me there"
Aside from being an epigramist. Gov.
Marshall is a Democrat He arrived In
Washington clad in a business suit of
pepper and salt" and he wore a derby.
"" greets his friends with a hearty
and plain How do you
do,"
Mrs Marshall is beautiful woman
and shows the same easy Middle West
ern grace of manner. She was dressed
on her arrival yesterday in severe
blue travelling suit and wore a hat Of
the same color cncircled with a light
yellow feather. She followed her hus-
band down the receiving line that the
committee formed in the Vice Presi-
dents room in tho Union station and
81 eeted some of the members OF the
committee as acquaintance of the past
ThCr" were several women in the crowd
that formed an avenue from the shed
gates to the reception room. who nodded
and waved messages of welcome to Mrs.
Marshall as she passed out
On the steps of the station Mr. and
Mrs. Marshall. Senator Kern. Mr. Mac
farland and Station Master W. G. Robey
posed for their photographs before the
eager camera men. and then the Cover
nor and his party were whirlcd away IN
a closed Limousine
When asked at 6 O'clock last night
what his plans for the evening were,
Gov. Marshall said:
Why. I'll tell you. | intend to dress
have a light dinner, and then. unless
interferes, come back To the
room and smoke"
Holds Informal Reception.
This intention miscarried. however. and
later in the evening he held an informal |
reception in his hotel quarters. which he |
will occupy till the end of the special |
session. Tomorrow he is going to 90
out and find the Capitol. He thinks he /
may have occasion to visit il on Tuesday. |
Mr.. Marshall is full of enthusiasm for |
he Prcsident-eleCt whom he visited |
Thursday. He said he talked over MANY !
.hinGs with the next Chief Executive, but |
lid not consider il proper 10 reveal the |
nature of any of them. He made no ,
cabinet suggestions. and said he had not
seen Bryan for months.
Mr.. Marshall saw only few Indiana |
statesmen yesterday. To-day, after he
las called on the President. he will run
ip TO the Capitol and get acquainted with
his new charges, the Senators of the
United States.
He will take no part in their deIibcra-
ions In the cfoak rooms. he says, and
doesn't care who is made committee
Hartman. He will. however probably
lave great deal of voting to do as the
Democrats have a scant majority and
lis vote will be needed often in cases of
tic.
Gov. Marshall says that he is a pro-
'ressive and good Democrat, a better
Democrat, in fact, than he ever was be-
ore.
The change that has come he said I
is not so much a change of ideas as Of Il
We are all better Demo-
rats than We once were, and l believe
We are all real Democrats and that the
Democratic party once more will become
