INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. May 90
Equal and exact justice to all men"
as remedy for unrest was prescribed
by Vice President Marshall in his
keynote address today before the
state democratic convention. He also
urged jail sentences for profiteers and
increased production. to relieve the
high cost of living.
Il hold that the democratic doctrine
of equal and exact justice to all men
and Of special privileges to none will
meet all the angry and irreconciled
views of today" said Mr.. Marshall.
The Vice President also expressed the
hope that President Wilson and the
Senate would reconcile their diner
ences over the peace traty and that
it would be ratified, but said no man
should be read out of the democratic
party because of his opinion on the
league of nations.
For nm American Peace.
This was; as I understand it," the
Vice President said. IAN American
war. The peace should be an Ameri-
can peace. The war could not have
been fought successfully as either a
democratic or republican war. The
peace can not bring that real peace
which the American people want II
it be made either as a democratic or a
republican peace.
81 still hone that the President and
the Senate will reach an accord upon
such terms as will enable the treaty
to be ratified and a dejure peace to
be made with the government OF Ger
many, but as / grant to no man the
right to read me out of the demo-
cratic party nor say to me that L can
not stand upon it's platform, advocate
the election Of it's candidates and vote
for them, I. myself, will not say 10
any man that his views upon the
league of nations inevitably place MIN
without the democratic fold"
Enforcement OF Prohibition.
Any let-up in the enforcement OF
national prohibition until legai
change has been made in its provi-
sions was opposed by Mr.. Marshall,
who warned the democratic party
that it would merit the contempt OF
the people if it ever stands for the
Haunting of law because certain cit
izens do not believe in it"
The Vice President assailed the re-
publican Congress for its work dur
ing the last year. declaring it has
laid its hand upon nothing and has
thought of nothing save proposal to
prevent during an unprecedented
scarcity of manufactured products

on our markets and an oblation to the

Raps Republican Party.
The republican party has not re-
habilitated America" the Vice Presi-
dent said. "The question now is. to
what party will the people commit
Let US not delude ourselves into

of this country can double, the popu-
lation increase and the production re-
main at a standstill, and yet that the

ing about the ,profiteer and begin

works understand that in greater

as his fellowman."
Restoration. now that the war is
ended, of freedom of speech and Of
the press with punishment for those
seeking to create disorder or over
throw the government by any other
than legal means was urged by Mr..
Marshall, who also advocated read
justment of taxation after govern
ment expenditures have been reduced
to a minimum, in order 80 place the
burdens upon those most able to bear
them.
IndOrses TagKart for Senator.
'"The almost obliterated lines divid-
ing the three branches of government
should be again clearly drawn" he
added. Government by discretion
should cease. Boards which make
rules, try violations thereof and en-
force punishment should go. They
are not democratic. They are benevo-
lent despotisms."
While emitting any direct reference
to soldier bonus legislation. the Vice
President said he would say to the
former service men sound of body
and mind" that they can obtain al
most anything they want from Con-
gress.
Mr.. Marshall closed his speech with
an Endorsement of Thomas Taggart
for United States senator from In
diana and with a plea for Indiana de-
mocracy mot to remove the ancient
land marks. to hold fast to the faith.
to be strong and to acquit themselves
like men. Success is desirable, but
honor is needful"
