 Vice President Thomas R. Marshall was notified tonight of his renomina- tion for vice president on the Demo- cratic ticket and formally accepted the honor. The ceremonies were the third of the kind to be held in Indiana with in the last few weeks.
 The other two nominations were for J. Frank Hanly, the Prohibition presi- dential candidate, and Charles W. Fairbanks, Republican vice presiden- tial nominee.
 Prominent Democrats from all over the United States were present. h. formal political conferences were held by the leaders and plans for the cam paign were discussed thoroughly. Re ports of what had been done in Indiana were made to National Chair man Vance Mccormick.
 Martin H. Glynn, former governor of New York, delivered the speech of notification after having been intro duced by J. A. M. Adair, candidate for governor of Indiana, chairman of the ceremonies. All the speakers praised the present Democratic administra- tion, replied to the Republican attacks which had been made on it, and ex- pressed confidence of a Democratic victory. A big parade preceded the ceremonies. MT. MarshalTs speech of acceptance follows:
 MT. Chairman and Members of the No
 tifcation Committee, ladies and
 Gentlemen:
 The years which have spent in the United States senate have taught me at least humility. I speak, not with authority, but rather as an onlooker, with distinct knowledge that under our system of government my personality is of small moment; with no other de- sire than to voice my loyalty to my party and my admiration for, and con- fdence in, its leader, with whom we go to success or failure and to explain briefly why we ought in this campaign to appeal to the average voter who, however loyal he may be to party tra- dition, feels resting upon his con- science a more compelling duty to the republic.
 By 1912, the highway which was supposed to lead from Republicans to their officials had been narrowed to a squirrel track known only to the initi- ated. The right of the rank and file was ratification not consultation. In- stead of the Republican party remain ing the party of the many, it had be- come the perquisite of the few. A ma jority of its members, dissatisfied with the men in charge of it, with the mea- sures enacted by them and the meth ods of their enactment, as yet unwill- ing to trust the Democratic party courageously declared their secession and formed the Progressive party This movement was organized with as much enthusiasm as any of the Cru sades and it's campaign was wageo along camp meeting methods. Igno- rantly, it trusted its fortunes to lead CT who promised that he would lead al Armageddon but who, alas! deserted at Bull Moose Run. This spiritual and political upheaval resulted in the cleo tion of Woodrow Wilson to the presi- dency.
 More than three years of the most fateful history in the annals of man. kind have elapsed. Now the leader ot the Crusade has turned his back on the Holy Land. As he runs, he cries that the great mission of the Progressive party has been accomplished and that it is now time to turn the country ovel to the very men he condemned. If the mission of the Progressive party has been accomplished, then to the Demo cratic party belongs the honor, fol what has been written, it has written what has been done, it has done. Fair. ness, however, compels the statement that the nomination of Mir. Hughes fulfilled the promise to recall the jul dietary. The evangelist has pronounced the benediction and adjourned the camp meeting sine Dei. The highway is again to be narrowed to a squirre track under the control of the same men against whom and whose method:
