MARSHALL AT SALEM Mr. Marsnall’s speech, in opening the campaign at Salem, has the same elevated tone and serene atmosphere that has characterized his public utterances since his nomination. An opposing partisan can read his speech without affront or anger. While it stands firmly for every Democratic view and contention, it is not merely parliamentary in expression, but argumentative rather than assertive in tone; it reasons rather than dogmatizes.
