1t was not until 1908, however, that
he became figure in State politics.
That year the Democratic State con-
vention found a number Of Euber-
Material asplrants in the field and
turned to Marshall as a compromise
candidate.
He made an aggressive campaign
and went into office on what was
for Indiana big majority.
AS Governor he gave the state of
Indiana a bDsinesslike, progressive
administration in which the element
of common sense often replaced the
dictates Of political expediency. His
conduct Of the States affairs gave
the Democrats an assured victory in
the State in the election of 1912, and
made him one of the outstanding
political figures in the Middle West.
In 1912 the Indiana delegation TO
the national convention went down
to Baltimore instructed to start a
'favorite SON. boom for Marshall
for President.
NOHlH1ee laWned
He refused to take the boom seri.
ously and laughed at his friends who
urged him to get into the race.
When, long after midnight one
night, a newspaper reporter got him
out Of bed and told him he had been
nominated for the Vice Presidency,
Marshall yawned and asked the re-
porter why he did not wait until
morning to call him. On election
night, Marshall did not even stay
up to get the returns.
On March 4, 1913, he took the
oath of office as Vice President of
the United States. His ability to get
along with people and a sense of
humor that never failed him under
any circumstances made Of him an
excellent presiding officer of the
Senate.
often, in the heat Of debate, when
the situation was becoming strained.
Marshal billed the machinery OF
legislation by mildly poking fun at
some OF the Senators who were in
clined to take themselves too Sc
riously.
On one occasion two Senators in.
dulged in personalities and Marshall
raped the Senate to order and said
he had a communication 10 read.
Senators thought he was going TO
read an important message from the
President, and those who had been
loafing in the cloak rooms came
hurrying to their seats.
The communication was letter
from a patriot out in Wisconsin an

son for a member OF the Senate.

This startling statement was made
to me by Thomas Riley Marshall,

President Wilson was expected mo-
mentarily.
How seriously he meant what he
said, I do not know. The statement
was made while he sat in the office

the situation in Washington and he
was taking a gloomy view of things.

He sat with his feet on a desk.
On his face was days growth of
beard and he was smoking an old
