For President in National Monthly May Issue—Many Excellent Contributions.

A great national boom for! Gov. Thomas R. Marshall of In-j diana, for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1912. is forrdally launched in the May number of National Monthly, of which Chairman Norman ‘E. Mack of the Democratic National Committee is the editor. Coming through this important channel, the friends of Governor Marshall are greatly elated over the prominence which he will gain in being the first of the candidates to be taken up by Chairman Mack in his widely read Democratic magazine, now generally looked upon from one end of the country to the other, as the official organ of the Democratic National Committee. The principal pages of the May number of National Monthly are devoted to the Marshall boom.| with special articles on Governor! Marshall by Meredith Nicholson the noted Indiana writer, and by James W . Reilly, associate editor of National Monthly. In these articles Governor Marshall's career is exhaustively reviewed, and while Mr. Nicholson’s artielc is a splendid eulogy of the Governor, Mr. Reilly's article gets right down to bra-> tacks, and is a most intimate introduction to Governor Marshall, carefully reviewing his official acts from the time he became chief executive of the state of Indiana. No review could be fairer, and it puts Governor Marshall in a brilliant setting before! the Democrats of the United States. There is no question but what the articles will be widely read and commented upon, not only by Indiana Democrats and newspapers, but by Democrats and Democratic newspapers throughout the entire United States. The articles are illustrated with fine pictures of both the Governor and Mrs. Marshall, and Mr. Reilly has taken especial pains to introduce Mrs. Marshall to the women of the land, and to present her as one well fitted in everv way to become its "first lady.”
