MARSHALL BELIEVED
TO BE IN RACE FOR
NOMINATION

In the view of Democratic pol
iticians in Washington the letter
of Vive President Marshall defin-
ing his political principles and
praying for a return of the party
to the bedrock of Jeffersonianism
means the serious entry of the In
dianan as a candidate for the pres
idential nomination at San Fran
cisco.
The leaders feel that Marshall
by his latest action has abruptly
removed himself from the shadows
Of potentialities which surround
all receptive candidates and place
himself frankly in the running as
an active contestant for the high
est honor in tn egift of the Demo-
cratic party.
Between lines of the letter to
Secretary Hoffman the Democrats
read the REIMBURSEMENT of the
position of lookeron, which for
seven years the Vice president
has occupied partly through the
peculiarly detached character Of
the Vice Presidential office and
partly because the Vice President
was out of touch with many of
the newer democratic ideals in
volving international tendencies
centralizatio nof government pow
ers and subservience to the de-
manos of organized labor's plant
They see now that the Vice Pres
ident finally tired of self-efface-
ment has determined to assert
himself as the proponent of a res
| olution of the older principles of
the Democratic party as the guide
| for the future.
i 1t has been we'll known to the
close friends of Marshall that the
course pursued by the admins

Immediately prior thereto has
