The Notification of the Indlana Ex

Indianapolis.—Just about the time
that thousands of friends of Governor
Thomas Riley Marshzall were anxious
ly wanting to shake his hand in eon
gratulation on his acceptance as can
didate of vice-president on the Demo
cratic ticket, a smiling woman step
ped before him, and if one could have
heard what she whispered in his ear
it would have been something like
“Now, hurry in, Tom, and change
your clothes.”
And Tom Marshall forgot to shake
hands with the enthusiastic friends
until he had carried out the orders of
Mrs. Tom.
Indiana has honored four of her
sons as vice-presidential candidates on

that greeted Governor Marshall in the
b{g coliseum in the state fair grounds,
®idianapolis, on Tuesday were the
greatest in the history of the party.
The west wanted to show the east
what could be done in notification
honors, and, while Mrs. Marshall was
happy, of course, over the honors for
her husband, she was also worried, for
her hushard comes mighty close to
being father, husband, son and part
lner all in one. And when a woman
has that combination on her hands to
‘care for she has every right to be
'worried.
Governor Marchall will never gain
lany honors as a. hammer thrower. He
is not built that way.
‘While 21l the country was reading
the vigorous words of Governor Mar
shall which told the voters what he
expects Democracy to do in carrying
out the pledges for the next four years
it’s worth while to know what part a
woman is taking in the affairs of the
campaign—how Tom Marshall hap
pens to be in the position in which he
gtands .today. .
The good people of Columbia City,
* Ind., never thought Thomas Riley Mar
ghall wos a “marrying man.” For for
ty years he had lived with his par
ents, nursing both his father and
mother, who were invalids, which was
the reason Governor Marshall was not
warrying man. He felt his first duty
s to his parents.
Meceting Mrs. Marshall.
After the death of his parents Gov
ernor Marghall dived deeper into his
law practice, and one day an urgent
) case took him to Angola, Ind. His du
tieg called him to the county clerk’s
office, and there he met Miss Lois
Kimsey, daughter of the county clerk,
who was assisting her father in the
office.
From that day Governor Marshall'
had more business around the county
clerk’s office in Angola than any law
yer in half a dozen nearby counties.
Governor Marshall was forty-twoe
hyeara of age when he was married,
“Mrs. Marshall being nearly twenty
years his junior. ‘
The Mershalls had been married
&1)' a few weeks when the future
vice-presidert wes called to an adjoin
ing county on a casé that would con
sume some five or six weeks of his
time.
“Now, 1 did not want to be starting
off like that,” Governor Marshall ex
plained te & friend one day, “so I just:
told Mrs. Marshall that I thought she
ghould go along. And she did.”
Since then Governor Marshall bas
never made a trip without Mrs. Mar
shall going along. They have trav
eled all over the country totgether;
they go to banquets and political
‘meetings together until the friends of
the Indisna executive refer to him and
his wife as the “pards.” :
# “Tom Marshall is not over strong,”
explained one of his friends. “While
pot & delicate man, his coastitution is
pot of the most vigorous type.
«“When he gets into a political bat-'
tle he forgets his weaknesas. He gives
all that fs in him, and that will tell on
¥ any man. Mrs. Marshall soon discov
ered that the governor would become
‘peated in meking a speech and the

of bis bealth Seet. So wheu You 853
him making a speech when he has fin
ished he does not stay around to hear
the applause of’'the audience. Rather,
be hurries to his room and changes
his clothing.
“Some people have said that Tom
Marshall is not a handshaking politi
cian. He is not. His wife thinks it is
more important to guard his health
than to carry out the old time policy,
and she is correct, as she is in most
all other things.”
‘‘Home Air” Prevaids.
The Marchall home is typical of the
mistress. It is a home of books, and
still one does not feel “bookish.” One
of the Marshall friends said he always
felt llke eating when he entered the
Marshall home in Columbia City or
the executive mansion at Indianapolis.
Mrs. Marshall believes in a home
first, and the “home air” prevails.
“If Governor Marshall ever occupged
the White House people would not
know that historic institution,” de
clares an admirer. “Mrs. Marshall
would have it a real home. People
would feel comfortable even in the
midst of the gold and glitter.”
But it is not only as a wife and the
mistress of a home that Mrs. Marshall
shows her ability. She is a politician
and a clever one. She also has a re
markable memory.
Governor Marshall has earned the
reputation of being in a class of story
tellers all by himself. He can remem
ber stories, but he forgets names. A
name is something to be cast aside
with Governor Marshall, and this is
one of the regrets of his life, if he has
any regrets. The governor is not a
worrying man. He is somewhat a fa
talist, but if he could he would like
to remember names; but, not having
that ability, he does not worry, for
Mrs. Marshall is the name remember
er of the family.
She has a peculiar ability along this
line. Not only does she remember
the last name, but any combination of
names comes as second nature to her,
and she carries this ability on down to
the children and cousins of any one
seeking the governor,
While the governor is shaking hands
and trying to remember whether his
caller is Jones or Smith, Mrs. Marshall
is busy supplying the information and
asking about all the relatives.
- ldeal Partners.
Governor Marshall has no brothers
or gisters, and his parents being dead
leaves him somewhat barren of rela
tives.
Governor Marshall’s friends are en
thusiastic over his home life. When
he has started on talking of kis wife
a new light in the Hoosier executive
comes to the surface.
They come near being ideal married
partners.
“l was talking to Tom one day,”
explained one of his moest intimate
friends. “We were leaning back, and
Tom had been teiling some of his good
stories to illustrate various topics of
our conversation. We were waiting
for Mrs. Marshall to come back from
a shopping tour, and I happened to re
mark that I liked Mrs. Marshall bet
ter every time I met her.
““Well, now that’s the way she
strikes me, Jim,” he said, ‘We have
been married some sixteen years, and
as time goes that is a long or short
period, just as you think. To me it is
but a fleeting day. Then I think back
over my married life and find I have
grown to know Mrs. Marshall better
every day. A man must not only love
but he must also respect his partner
in this life—respect her in all things.
She must have wonderful qualities to
make the love and respect grow deep
er and better each day. That’s been
my history.
“‘The fact that Mrs. Marshall has
been in sympathy in my work, my
play, my life, is good. But I have been

in sympathy with hers. Ours is not a.
one sided life. We have been part
mers, and that's the way it should be
in this world.’”
Mrs. Marshall has watched over his
administration of the affairs of Indiana
with a jeslous care. There hag been
nothbing of the spectacular in his ad
ministration. It has been & sane gov
ernment. The laws that he has fought
for and won show the spirit of the
man. They are uplifting. They deal

nevertheless, he is a fighter. He be

BREAKING IT OPEN AGAIN
-—C. R. Macauley, New York World.
Mrs. Marshall is noi satisfied with
her domestic duties alone. She wants
to do her share in problems of the po
litical and business world. Mrs. Mar
shall is said to have discussed in de
tail with her husband his actions on
the Baltimore conventign, and when it
was seen that Marshall was the man
who was going to go on the ticket
with Wilson he wanted to know what
his wife thought about it.
“Jt won’t be any harder than being
Governor of Indiana, and if the party
thinks you are the man it only agrees
with my opinion,” she said, and that
settled the matter with Governor Mar
shall.
Mrs. Marshail had the honor of be
ing the first woman in Indiana to hold
an office. She was appointed county
clerk of Steuben county by her father
and held that office for a number of
years.
When Governor Marshall and his
wife were about to be married she de
cided that her last cfficial act of the
office would be tc make out the mar
riage license. Governor Marshall ac
companied his wife to the county
clerk’s office and watched her with
care as she noted the records in the
big book and filled out the license and
watched her as she carefully signed
her father’s name, with her own as
deputy. i
Mrs. Marshall, having blotted the
ink, said, “Now we can go.”
“Not yet,” laughed Governor Mar
shall: 3
“Why, we are all fixed,” explained
Mrs. Marshall, pointing to the license.
“Yes, but I have to pay for it,” re
plied the governor. “It’s all right for
you to make it out, but it’s up to me
to pay the fee.” And he did.
Mrs. Marshall is a keen student,
and, having established the practice of
going with her husband on all his
trips, be they short or long, they make
it a point to carry along some bock.
Mrs. Marshaal is as much of a hu
manitarian as the governor. A glance
at some of the bills that have been
passed by the 1911 Indiana legislature
gives an insight into the governor:
To curtail child labor.
To regulate sale of cold storage pro
ducts.
To require hygienic schoolhcuses
and medical examination of children.
To prevent blindness at birth.
To regulate sale of cocaine and oth
er drugs.
To provide free treatment for hy
drophobia.
To establish public playgrounds.
To improve pure food laws.
To protect against loan sharks.
To provide police court matrons.
To prevent traffic in white slaves.
To permit night schools.
To require medical supplies as part
of a train equipment.
Governor Marshall has also played
an active part in providing for protec
tion of labor, as is exampled by the
following acts:
To create a bureau of inspection
t6r workshops, factories, mines and
boilers.
To establish free employment agen
cies.
To require full train crews.
To require safety devices on switch
engines.
To require efficient headlights on
engines. - :
To require standard cabooses.
To provide weekly wage, etc.
And Governor Marshall has com
gulted with his “partner” on all these
bills. He is quoted as sayiag a man
can't go far wrong In taking the ad
vice of a wife—if she is his partner as
well as his wife.
The divided Republican party is
ke the boy “blowing against ihe
wind.” There will be a lot of bluster,
but it will not take votes away from
Wilson and Marshall. \ ;

Manne, of Athens; Mr. Adams,
father of the groom, and Miss
Adams, of Fitzgerald.
Plans Joke on Mother;
He Finds Her Dead
Moundsville, W. Va., Aug. 22.
—Edward Crim, 19, of this city,
attending Valparaiso college,
spent a vacation in Indiana with
friends befare starting for home
‘and planned to surprise his moth
er, Mrs. Sara C. Joiner.
He did not write to tell her
when he would return home, but
yesterday he quietly slipped into
his mother’s lawn and tiptoed up
to the window, planning for a
secret entrance, Peering through
the window he saw a dim light
burning and saw his mother
clothed in a shroud in her coffin.
She had died on Sunday. Mem
bers of the family had been un
able jto locate young Crim, not
knowing where he was. Thelad

Farmers, Hold Your Cotton.
FITZGERALD, Ga., Aug. 26, 1912,
I bave in the last few days
seen 300 or 400 miles of Georgia
and Soutk Carolina cotton; have
examined much of it and find it
poorly fruited; but the worst fea
ture is the want of stalk to make
even an average crop. I saw in
my travels thousands of acres
not over 8 or 10 inches high, and
a large acreage not over 4 to 6
inches in height. I saw men
from points all along the line,
and all gave the same story, and
where the stalk is large enough
tomake a fair crop it is poorly
fruited. Of course there are some
very fine fields that will make a
good crop, but they are few and
far between.
If Georgia’s crop is not better
than what I saw, it will not make
one-half as much as was made
last year. All farmers that made
any remarks about the status of
the crop would only give 50 per
cent. of last year’s crop, besides
I saw many fields with red-rust,
which will clean up a field more
quickly than the cotton caterpiller
or anything that destroys cottor.
I have heard a good many say
that their section would not make
enough cotton to pay for the fer
tertilzer used on the crop.
A worse feature in the case is
a nearly complete failure of the
corn crop. A great deal of corn
on the route I traveled will not
make a bushel per acre, and some
will make absolutely nothing.
The estimate of the cotton crop
isabsurd. No man has ever seen
two bumper crops of cotton made
in succession, nor will we ever
see it, :
But if cotton is rushed and the
market flooded, look for 7to 9c
cotton until it is out of the hands
of the farmers; then it ,will ap
pear that the crop was overtima
ted and away it goes up to 15¢ or
more, and the same old trick is
played as it has been for 40 years.
The cotton crop is very short and
will not reach the present esti
mate by millions of bales.
