Democratic Nominee For Vice Presi-
 dent Meets Campaign Managers at
 Ceremony at His Indianapolis Home.
 Says Presidents Words Have Made
 United States One Peaceful Spot In
 World.
 Democratic leaders and campaign managers are pleased at the forceful reply of Vice President Thomas R Marshall to the notification of his re, nomination on the Democratic ticket. The occasion was made brilliant one. and thousands of Indiana Democrats as well as party leaders from all over the middle west journeyed to Indian apOlis for it.
 The ceremonies took place at the Marshall residence. Ex-Governor Mar tin H. Glynn of New York made the notification address. and there were talks by J. A. M Adair. Democratic candidate for governor of Indiana, and Evans Woollen of Indianapolis.
 National Chairman Vance Mccormick and other leaders had long conferences after the ceremony.
 MT. Marshall in his speech accepting the nomination ridiculed the fears of the Republicans for the permancnce Of prosperity after the war and attempted to show that these were entirely incon sistent with a determination to sell more American goods abroad. He sait. in part:
 What must we do to be saved? Trust the Republican soothsayer to answer that the entrails have disclosed that common prudence dictates raising tariff duties so as to prevent the dumping of pauper made, cripple made and orphan made goods upon our market to the detriment of the American working man. and while doing this we should go out and pre-empt the markets of the world.
 How, If 1t be necessary to protect our working men, we can capture against these paupef-cripple-orp goods the markets of the world, where they may freely enter, eludes the understanding of every intellect save those who blindly worship the Baal of protection.
 Defends the President.
 But the Democratic party is a growing. a progressive party. It valves it's ancient views as to a tariff commission. now that the tariff has been lowered and wealth has been made to bear its fair nroportion of the burdens of government, and il pro poses to ascertain the real purchasing diff ference between the wage here and abroad and to put that difference into the tariff schedule if needed, which I doubt. and provided that the manufac cturer agrees that the difference shall go into the pay envelope and not into dividends.
 R1t those who criticiSa saw thn UreS6eOt is an infirm American. Now. 1t so hap pens in this country that not birth nor re- ligion, but loyalty to America constitutes the American. Any blood and any faith and any party that assaults an American president because he chooses to ignore bloo,- and church and party in the cauce of peace would suffer less by committing harikari.
 So that 1t may becloud the real issue. the Republican party has sought to copv- right the phrase "Firm Americanism'' without defining 1t. By this phrase they want the English born to understand that if the president had been a firm American Belgium would not have been invaded and the Lusitania would not have beer sunk. That Is what the late strategist at Arr1a ceddon is supposed to believe On the other hand. to that small portion of the people who think more of Germany than America. that phrase is supposed to mean that had ne been a flrn AnHr1can the German emperor would never have been called upon to admit breach of neu- trality in sinking the Lusitania.
