HRS. TOM’S PART
IN THE ELECTION
Governor Marshall’s Wife Has
the Memory for Names.
ROMANCE OF THEIR LIVES
The Notification of the Indiana Ex
ecutive for Democratic Vice-Presi
dency Honor* a Record-Breaker.
.
By J. C. HAMMOND.
Os Democratic National Publicity Bu
reau.
Indianapolis.—Just about tho time
that thousands of friends of Governor
Thomas Riley Marshall were anxious
ly wanting to shake his hand In con
gratulation on his acceptance as can
didate of vice-president on the Demo
cratic ticket, a smiling woman step
(K'd before him, and If one could have
heard what aho whispered In his ear
tt would have been something like
"Now, hurry In, Tom, and change
your clothes.”
And Tom Marshall forgot to shake
hands with tho enthusiastic friends
until he had carried out the orders of
Mrs. Tom.
Indiana has honored four of her
sons ns vice-presidential candidates on
the Democratic ticket, but the crowds
THOMAS R. MARSHALL.
that greeted Governor Marshall In tho
big coliseum In the state fair grounds,
Indianapolis, on Tuesday were the
greatest In tho 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 I
her husband, she was also worried, for
her hushai d comes mighty close to
being father, husband, son and part
ner all In one. And when a woman
has that combination on her hands to
care for she has every right to bo
worried.
Governor Marshall will never gain !
nny honors as a hammer thrower. He
Is not built that way.
While all tho country was rending ;
(lit* vigorous words of Governor Mar- |
shall which told the voters what ho
expects Democracy to do In currying
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 j
campaign—how Tom Marshall hap- ,
pens to be in the position In which he
stands today.
The good people of Columbia City,
Ind., never thought Thomas Riley Mar
shall was a “marrying man.” For for
ty years ho had lived with his par
ents, nursing both his father und
mother, who were Invalids, which was
tin* reason Governor Mnrshnll was not
a marrying man. He felt hlB first duty
was to his parents.
Meeting Mrs. Marshall.
After the death of his parents Gov
ernor Marshall dived deeper into his
law practice, and one day an urgent
ease took him to Angola, Ind. His du
ties called him to tho county clerk’s
office, and there he met Miss Lois
Klmsey, daughter of the county clerk,
who was assisting her father in the
office.
From that day Governor Marshall
had more business around tho county
clerk's office in Angola than any law
yer in half a dozen nearby counties.
Governor Marshall was forty-two
years of age when he was married,
Mrs. Marshall being nearly twenty
years his Junior.
The Marshalls had been married
only a few weeks when the future
vice-president wra culled to an adjoin
ing county on a case that would con
sume some five or six weeks of his ,
time.
"Now, I did not want to be starting
off like that," Governor Marshall ex
plained to a friend one day, "so I Just
told Mrs. Marshall that 1 thought she
should go along. And she did."
Since then Governor Marshall haa
never made a trip without Mrs. Mar
shall going along. They have traw
olod all over the country totgether;
they go to banquets and political
meetings together until the friends of
- the Ind .inn executive refer to him and
his wife as tho “pards.”
“Tom Marshall Is not over strong,"
explained one of his friends. “While
not a delicate man. hla constitution la
not of the most vigorous type.
“When he gets Into a political bat*
’ tie he forgets his weakness. He gives
' all that is In him, and that will tell on
i any man. Mr*. Marshall soon discov
ered that the governor would become
heated In making a speech and the
, ; next day his voice would be husky.
She decided that he had better give up
some of the handshaking and take care
of hla health first So when you find
I
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR THURSDAY, SEPT. 5, 1912.
him making a speech when he has fin
ished he does not stay around to hear
the applause of'the audience Rather,
* he 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" Prevails.
The Marshall home is typical of the
mistress. It Is a home of hooks, and
still one does not feel “bookish.” One
of the Marshall friends said he always
felt like eutlng when he entered the
Marshall home in Columbia City or
the executive mansion at Indianaptfiis.
Mrs. Marshall believes In a home
first, and the “home air” prevails.
"If Governor Marshall ever occupied
tho 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.”
Hut It is not only as ft wife and the
mistress of a home that Mrs. Marshall
shows her ability. She Is a politician
and a clever one. She also has are
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 ho cast aside
with Governor Marshall, and this is
one of tho regrets of his life, if he has
any regrets. The governor is not a j
worrying man. He is somewhat a fa- j
tnlist, hut if he could he would like
to remember names; hut, not having
that ability, ho does not worry, for
Mrs, Marshall Is the name remember
er of the family.
She has a peculiar ability along this
lino. Not only does she remember
the last name, hut 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 tho 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.
Ideal Partners,
Governor Marshall hns no brothers
or sisters, and his parents being dead
leaves him somewhat barren of rela
tives.
Governor Marshall’s friends are en
thusiastic over his homo life. When
ho has started on talking of his wife
a new light in the Hoosler executive
comes to the surfaee.
They come near being ideal married
pnrtners.
“I was talking to Tom one day,”
explained one of his most Intimate
friends. “We were leaning back, and
Tom hnd been telling some of his good
stories to Illustrate various topics of
I our conversation. Wo were waiting
for Mrs. Marshall to come hack from
i a shopping tour, and I happened to re
j mnrk that I liked Mrs. Marshall bet
i ter every time I met her.
” ‘Well, now that’s the way she
| strikes me, Jim,’ he said, ‘We have
i been married some sixteen years, and
I as time goes that is a long or short
period, just as you think. To ine it is
! but a fleeting day. Then I think back
, over my married life and find I have
grown to know Mrs. Marshall hotter
every day. A man must not only love
but he must also Vespect 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 hns
been In sympathy In my work, my
play, my life, is good. But I have been
♦ *-• ; '■' * r* *
ir; *
Sit* c •* •
MRS. MARSHALL.
In sympathy with hers. Ours is not a
one sided life. We have been part
ners, and that’s the way it should bo
in this world.’ ”
Mrs. Marshall has watched over his
administration of the affairs of Indiana
with a jealous care. There has been
nothing of the spectacular In his ad
ministration. It has been a sane gov
ernment. The laws that he has fought
for and won show the spirit of the
man. They are uplifting. They deal
with the improvement of man, woman
and child.
While Governor Marshall is descrlb
ed as a “tender hearted” executive,
nevertheless, he Is a fighter. He be
longs to the old fighting stock of Vir
ginia.
Governor Marshall Is not a dodger.
He has his opinions, and he lets them
he know n. While he Is an organization
man, he knows that organizations are
not perfect—that they can make mis
takes If they make mistakes he
thinks It is his duty to say so and get
the saying over at the first possible
moment. _ .
Mrs. Marshall is not 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 convention, 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.
'lt 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. Marshall 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 official act of the
office would be to 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 i
j deputy. j
Mrs. Marshall, having blotted the
ink, said, “Now we can go.”
"Not. yet,” laughed Governor Mar- j
shall.
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 books.
Mrs. Marshall 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
products.
To require hygienic schoolhodses
and medical examination of children.
The 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
for 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 con
sulted with his “partner” on all these
hills. He is quoted as saying 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
like the boy “blowing” against the
wind.” There will be a lot of bluster,
but it will not take votes away from
Wilson and Marshall.
Having exhausted his supply of ad
jectives in denouncing Taft, Roosevelt
is now leading a campaign of denun
| eiation of every one who does not
agree with himself.
Farmers have pulled against the
short end of the yoke long enough.
Wilson and Marshall promise to see
that the pulling is made more nearly
even. _
