Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 60, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 October 1912 — MRS. THOMAS R. MARSHALL. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

MRS. THOMAS R. MARSHALL.

We of th« Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee. Honorary Wo President Woman’s National Democratic League.

Mrs. Thomas It. Marshall, wife of the vice presidential nominee of the Democratic party, is a keen student of affairs and as the constant companion of her husband has had an exceptional opportunity of specializing on human nature. A very practical and farreaching result of this peculiar interest in the larger family of the state—she has no children of her own—is found in the long list of humanitarian bills passed by the Indiana legislature during her husband's regime as governor. A bill to curtail child labor heads the list, which numbers twenty, and includes almost every legal correction for the Immediate relief of labor, especially for that pertaining to women and children. The Marshall home, like that of the Wilsons’, is a home of books, and yet one does not feel "bookish’’ within its walls. On the contrary, one feels very much at home there the moment Mrs. Marshall appears upon the scene, and, if possible, more so when Mr. Marshall comes in. They are such chums, this “tender hearted’’ governor and his wife, and where one is the other is pretty sure to be found. They have traveled all over the country together, and if the Woman’s National Democratic league has anything to do with it they will soon be going to W’ashlngton together. Mrs. Marshall is honorary vice president of the league and keenly interested in its work, not because it is part of the campaign, but because she recognizes the permanency of the movement to educate women in the principles of democracy.
