Marshall is neither a great leader of men nor a great constructive statesman, but he is a Godfearing man who does his duty in accordance with his interpretation o* holy Writ and the maxims of Thomas Jefferson. In looking backward over the democratic state administration one can find little to condemn and much to praise. It is true that Governor .Marshall proved a poor strafegist in the matter or consitutions. During a considerable part of his administration he was estranged from an element of the democratic party that might have been of great service t and counsel to him. but the present harmony in the democratic ranks is a crowning-. consummation of h-_s quest for sale anchorage. We do not ; presume to say the democratic party is united behind Governor Marshall There are dry democrats who voted the democratic legislative ticket two , years ago and for Governor Marshall four years ago. notw ithstand>Bg the democratic party *as committed to * the repeal of the county local option } law, who believed nevertheless that ( Governor Marshall would ignore the, platform pledge and veto the repeal act. They were disappointed as they | ought to have been. They had no i right to expect Governor Marshall ■ would violate a platform pledge. It j would have been a dishonorable thing to do and Governor Marshall, as a self-respecting official and what- , ever his private opinions, was bound . to sign the repeal act. M e say this * regardless of the fact that we personally favor rigid saloon regulation. At the time of the McNamara arrests, the governor was attacked by demagogic labor leaders for issuing the

warrant for the extradition of aelf-cou (rased dynamiters The attack was I baaed on the fallacious assumption that the governor was bound to know i the McNamaras were prominent leaders in a labor organization, and, so knowing, was bound to deal with them i as representatives of a powerful con- ' stituency on election day rather than . as accused criminals. The governor s prompt response to the request of tri- , tective William J. Burns, whom be did not know, for a warrant was his . own vindication If any was needed. ’ Barring the enactment of numerous labor and humanitarian laws. Govern- ' or Marshall s administration will not I go down in history as one marked by great constructive reforms. But hearkening back to previous administrations. Hanly, Durbin and Mount, who were republicans, where is there one that,exceeds it in reform legists tion? There was nothing conspicuous in the entire twelve-year period, from the beginning of Mount to the beginning of Marshall, to distinguish : it from the present administration un-: less it be the extravagance of the ’ Hanly administration. The present administration, with the exception tn , new offices created and increased salaries added to the annual budget, has been one of economy. There has | ' been no high financeering under Gov-; ' ernor Marshall. This is Marshall dv j 'in Indianapolis. We do not happen to j be advocating the election of Govern- j l or Wilson and Governor Marshall. W | 1 cause we differ with them on funds- ■ mental principles of government.
