MARSHALL SOUNDS BRITS KEYNOTE

Would Elect Clean Officials and Enforce Indiana Laws. DOESN'T SEEK SENATORSHIP Governor Declares He Is Not Behind Any Candidate for Office Says Beverldge Should Join Democratic Party. lmllsnnpolla. IJefore nn onthuslastle nudlonco of Indiana Democrats, assembled iu ntt convention to nominale candidates for stute ottlces ami adopt state i lat form. Governor Marshall delivered what Is considered one of the most stir- ! ring Addrewe the Democracy of Indiana i has eer listened to. It It) the keynote I peech of the coming campaign. Govern- j or M anhält said in part: i "This is a Democratic state Convention, not a rump national convention. It bss mot to nominate a state ticket nnd to formuUtc a of ,lrtnetples. It Uns not mtl to igaor9 w(th harne, to point with prj,je lK)r to view with alarm. And you. gentlemen of the convention. 1 greet as representatives of a hopoful nml militant Democracy. I believe that you nro hero I an thoughtful men to voice the sentiment j of the people whom you represent. I Jo J not bollove you aro here as mere maciunes to ratify anything which the governor of this state may propose whether or not It appeals to you ns being trlctly In accordance with the principles of our party. Imocratlc politics Is not a game of chance. It is n battle for the rights of man. Slap at Senator Beverldge. "The hour has Bona by In American politics when the work of a convention not -olrlng the Ideas of tho rank and file of It? nnrty will meet approval nt the polls. We have recently had nn Illustration of j mino-mnn convention In Indiana. 'Whom the pods would destroy, they first mnke j mad.' and. the principal mania of political , life today Is the assumption of some pub- J iln m.Mi lUat llinv In ronlltv r-nilHttt 11 1 the 1 1 V ,,.;,, ...... ... . ... - - täte. Let us avoid scenes, similar to those enacted In this hnll earlier tld month, and let us give to the people of Indkinn proof of the statement that tho Democratic party Is a thinking party, willing to trust all the people und unwilling to he put under guardianship. "Two years ago. In this same hall and nt such a convention ns this. I gave my rolemn pledge that If elected governor. I would, so far ns the executive department was concerned, restore to the people constitutional government. That pledge was accepted and I personally am debtor to -ery Democrat and to many Republicans In Indiana for the support they gave me. "My adherence to constitutional governtmnt limited me to advice to the legislative department, ami to a quiet and peaceable acqulescenco In the decisions of the supreme court of the state of Indiana This accounts for many things done and many things not done, regardless of your likes and mine. I must again reiterate my belief, howover, thnt you are responsible for the character of loglslatlon which you obtain and for the grade of decisions which ar rendered by tho courts. "It Is no business of nn executive to have policies, u Is the business of parties to formulnte policies In accordance with constitutional principles, and It Is the duty of legislative bodies to fnlthfullr carry out tho pledges which have been made by parties to the people. Thus far. In our system of government, thpre has never abkled In the executive department the right to demand that the legislature shall enact certain laws and thnt the courts shall construe them In accordance with executive wilt When such becomes I our system of government. It ceases to j be a government of three eo.ua! and coordinate branches, and lwcomes n one- ' government. The way to avoid unJust declalona of the courts Is to rlean hf ,om.h RW, pu, on tnn wW menU, and moral make-up beats true with the sentiments of juatlce and humanity. When ,hRt.tw.v .r ermine may be eaten by the vermin of personal interest, then the people will confer It only upon men above reproach. So long ns they neotilesce In decisions manifestly not based upon constitutional principle, so lmg may we expet to hear ! complaints touching the administration of Justice. It would be a good thing for the people to realize what many lawyers know thnt there Is n vast difference between the low and the opinion of a court. Enforce and Obey Laws. "The Democratic party believes thnt It Is the duty of officials to enforce tho law. It believes more than this thnt It Is likewise the duty of officials to obey tho law. It cannot yield Its consent to the doctrine thnt the president of the United States can wink, however advisable It may be to do so. at the violation of tho Sherman an-tl-trust law. by permitting a steel trust to nlisorb Its only real competitor, a bit more than It can consent to the doctrine thnt a governor can grant Immunity to a prospective murderer, however desirable It might be to have the undesirable citizen killed It Ikws cheerfully nnd submissively to the decision of the supremo court, but It reserves to Itself the right to point out when nn election approaches. In what manner the supreme court has not Itself kept the law which It Insists other people shall keep. The lnw of this state provides t:iat the court must In every stage of the nctlon. disregard any error or defect In the pleadings or proeedlngs which does not nffect the aubstnntlnl rights of the adverse party nnd thnt no Judgment enn be reversed or affected by reason of such error or defect. Agnln It Is declared that no Judgment shall' be stayed or reversed In whole or In part by the supremo court for any defect In form, variance or Imperfections contained In the record. pleadings, process, entries, returns or other proceedings therein which by lnw might be amended In the supreme court: nnd thnt no Judgment shnll lie stayed or reversed In whole or In part where It shall appear to the court thnt the merits of the cause have been fnlrly tried nnd determined In the court below. Tup opinions of the courts of Indiana ire filled with reversals upon technical!1es nnd Irregularities which do not go to tho merits of the cases. As certain members of the supreme court nre now niwut to be elected, tho Democratic party demnnds thnt men shnll go upon the bench In Indiana who will themselves keep tho lnw ns well ns endeavor to enforce It ngnlnst olher peoplo. If this be done, much of the complnlnt nliout the delay In ndmlnls'erlng Just!"o will cense. 'The recent session of the legislature passed by a nnn-pnrtlsan vote what Is known aa the public accounting act. Our friends, the enemy. In presenting that beautiful little snrlc of rosemary In remembrance of nil the denr. dem! things which they hnd done In the pnst. fulled to give to the people any pledge with reference to this law. The Democratic party does not claim this measure ns It own hut It Is one of the wandering children nnt out upon the highways of tho stale by the recent Republican convention, tvlilth y.t are 1 id to adopt. It Is the

duty of the Democratic party to declare that It will rosUt nil attempts to repeal this law. The people propose to have both honest and Intelligent olllclnl. The hour has gone by In Indiana when JÄ0rtuchers enn bo oxecuted for 'nhovels, et-.' without knowing how many liovols fie pcoitle get and how much "nndaof.rtV they iwy for. The time baa come when vouchers cniinot lx issuod for two d.llar and checks given for one; when vouchers cannot lx Issued for good never noelved. when books cannot bo kept so that the T Is tnken out of the "ton thousand' column nnd put In the 'one thousand' column, thereby making nine thousand for the ollklal. Would Strengthen Primary Law. "It la now open history that many foreigner with no Intontlon of bocomlng lKna tide tlttecn. of yielding their assent to our principles of government, or even of learning our language, voted at our last general obctlon within nine months after they hud landed upon our shores. Under tlie present primary law the easily massed veto not Infreuontly nominates an undoMrublo candidate. This lnw. the Democratic iariy should promise to strengthen to as to provide that the candidate of the party shall b a nwirly as posslbl the majority candidate. There should hNo bo enacted tw a further protection to tho ballot, h registration law which will stand the test of the suprtine court. "Tho anti-trust lnw now upon the statute books might well be supplanted by fo much blank sjm-i. It ha been discovered that the Shrrman anti-trust lnw will regulate, restrain nnd break up trust.-. The death of a supieme Judge and the appointment to hl plae of 'prtvnt car' burton have affordtd opportunity to delay for a year decisions In anil-trust cases now pending. This fact 1ms strengthened the stock of these trusts on th market. Within that your the legislature or Indiana can enact a luw which will prevent combinations and trusts, the forestalling of tho market, and the compulsion of the peoplo to pay more for the necessities of life than they otherwise would pay In an open market with free competition. High Cost of Living. "In the midst of a period of murvelous benlnconce upon the part of tho Creator, we Und nil classes except the pampered few. particularly tho wage enrner and the man upon u salary, complaining of tho enormous cost of living. This Is imrtly the fault of government and partly tho fault of tht way In which we live. We boast of our system of free schools and wo are teaching many men political economy, but we nre not teaching any nan private economy. The last ndmlnlstration established the new Indiana State School for Denf. and spent, approximately. fl.OSO.G, providing murble staircases nnd modern luxuries for 350 pupils. As this school Is about to take Its place among the charitable and educational Institutions of the state. It has suddenly discovered that It has put so much money into its coat and vest nnd tint and gloves that It has none left to buy a pair of trousers. It stands within the city of Indianapolis without n hospital for the nick, a home for Its superintendent, or n laundry. It Is nn object lesson to the state

that hereafter we should both as a people nnd ns Individuals, buy a good full suit of clothes rather than Invest In une particularly tine garment and leave the rest of our persons naked. "I do not believe that governments were Instituted among men for the purpose of saying what they fdiall eat, what they shall drink, or wherewithal they shall clothe themselves. L'pon the other hand. I do believe thnt It Is the Inherent right nnd the positive duty of a government to police, regulato and restrain, and when needful, prohibit all dnngerouH businesses. Two years ago. In tho midst of a political campaign, tho Republican party enacted a county option law. That law. I have done my best to enforco and will continue to do so. The supreme court of this state has declared It to be threefifths constitutional. At tho last Republican State convention, this child which the Democratic party declared In K"JS was a child born out of due season, was turned out upon the streets as Illegitimate It Is not our child, but ns It remains a legislative offspring of the state. It Is the duty of all officials to care for it. Behind No Senatorial Candidate. "It has been said that I am the author of a proposition for this convention to Inders a candidate for United States senator. I deny that statement. The proposition Is not mine hut the Democratic party's, and I simply voice what I bellve to be Demo i tle sentiment. This year In 41 states of the Union, the people aro to have. In one way or another, a larger part In the naming of their United States senators than ever before: In many of them In the way to be proposed to this convention. This proposition meets as nearly ns possible the de mand of Democratic platforms for 20 years, and four resolutions of the house of representatives. It Is not being advo cated by me In the Interest of any man. or In opposition to any man's ambition nnd desires. Ltd me repeat thnt I maintain friendly relations with all Demo crats nnd entangling nlllnnces with none. It Is up to this convention to do one of two things: either to Indorse a . candidate for United States senator, or to strike from Its platform Its 10-yoar-old declaration that It believes in the election of United States senators by the people. Seeks No Nomination. 'This Is not a personal proposition with me. It never was so Intended, nnd It shall not be so construed. I seek no nomination, cast no suspicion upon the good faith of the pnst, support no men. "I hnve listened dispassionately to the objections which have been raised ngnlnst the proposition. 1 have been requested to withdraw It. If ibis were my proposition In which I bad personal Interest It would long ago have been withdrawn. It Is not mine; It Is yours. A Democratic state convention has power to 'o ns It pleases. I do not believe It to bo the right of any man to take from a convention the opportunity to settle a question In which the people of the slate nre Interest ed. We have brevet ted too mnny brigadiers for conspicuous bravery In defeat. We need fewer generals nnd more privates. Tho Jealousies of genernls fill more volumes than their victories. It Is better to let the army select Its own general thnn to let the genernls select their army. Some stand for measures, not men. some stand for men, not measures: but the Democratic pnrty In Indiana stands for measures and men. "I advocate tills proposition merely as Democratic doctrine, and I trust It will be thoroughly discussed In a spirit of amity and concord by the delegates, and thnt then each delegate will vote his own Judgment. "More stringent regulation of the mines of this state should be required by law, using every humnn endeavor nnd mccianIcnl device for the preservation of life. The mine Inspectors should be appointed by the mutual agreement of the mine owners nnd mine operatives, so that In the preservation of life nnd limb Injustice may be done to none. 'The conservation of our natural resources la valuable, but much more valuable Is the conservation of human life and health in the state of Indiana. Tho legislature should give nddltlon.nl appropriations to the state board of health to enlnrge Its usefulness by putting In force those laws of hygiene which must Inevitably result In tho lengthening and strengthening nf humnn life. "If the governor of this stale !s to enforce the law and Is to exercise the appointing power, then ho should nlso be given the power of removal. It Is unfair to require him to try one of his own appolntevs before discharging him In fact,

It would tend to the better ndmlnlstrntlon j of the law If he hnd the power to remove an unfaithful nnd Incompetent I

elective officer after a regular trial upoa charge preferred. Beverldge Should Turn Democrat. The corporation laws ought to bo umeiidud so as to reuulro a dollar's worth of money or pruporty to ko Into crv corporation for eery dollar's worth of its stock, and tho Issuing of bondti upon corporate property should mark u dollar covered into tho treasury for every dollar's worth issued. Seeking to . devlso means to rectify the follies of the past, "nnd yet. wo aro allowing our statutes, which permit c-rporntlona to organize und to exercist the sumo old-fashioned methods of selling stocks aad bonds at less than par. to remain unchanged. If wo cannot remedy tho past we can rogrulato the future. We are confronted with nn anomalous condition of afTuIrs in the owning contckt for the representation of this people in the Unltud Stntes senate, it Is not my purpose to discuss the personality of the distinguished gontleman who has boon Indorsed by tho KtfpubltcMii rty. Able and affable, no controversy must be had with htm except a controversy upon tho basic principles of government. 1 have too much personal regard for this distinguished gentleman to quote as I truthfully might, from many of his public utu ranees of the jmsL dlscloaltiK tho fact that until wry recently lie was thoroughly Infatuated with the Idea that a protective tariff w the only thimr of Inestimable beaeill to the American Mople. 1 would not even - call attention to ht.s often repeated . tateiuent that tho trust was but a legitimate evolution of modern business methods. To him. I grant the ame right which I reserve to myself the right to change opinions. To me. he was In all the years when he stood for an lnlqultious system of government, a blind man. This yonr. he declares that the contest Is betweon the rights of the people and the powers of pillage. How he expects to gut half way between the armies which now faco themselvos. the army of tho people and the army of pillage, and not expect to be shot either In the front or In the rear. Is n marvel to me. 1 had hoped that this distinguished tntcttmnn discovering thnt the principle for which all his life he had stood, meant the begetting and nurturing of the powers of p!llg would at oiiet. desert those powers nnd Join the people whose rights In Indiana arc represented by the Democratic party. Had he seen .clearly how gladly we would have welcomed him. Prophesies Beveridge's Change. "Regretfully. I am compelled to sny that the senior syjiator only se-s the truth like trees walking. 11c ha been so long In the darkness thnt his eyes (i p-u ii.-if v..t fl.Mtat.rtt,l l,i tll, 111 lit f prophesy that he will be lined up with ! the Democratic party In Indiana, two yrars bonce.

'The whole system of protection Is. i as was wlaely declared by the Domo- ' cratlc platform of IX!. a fraud and robbery of the grent majority of the j American people for the benefit of the few.

It Is wrong In morals, unjust In leglslntlon. nnd notwithstanding tho decisions of the courts, unconstitutional. "A government which declares in the equality of mankind puts the stnmp of falsehood upon Its declaration whenever It permits the enactment of a statute wjioreby a legislative made dollar goes Into the pocket of an Individual citizen. The Republican party of Indiana, if It was the Republican party In convention on the fifth day of April, declared for Its time honored j uocinne m pruiecumi. inn win ne could have too much of It. Thnt con vention believed you could create a Frankenstein nnd yet so control your monster ns to put him under subjection.

It desires to call the nttentlon of tho farmers to the fact that they nre the only persons whom protective tariff does not In some way pretend to benefit. This Is disclosed not only by the fncts of history but by the public utterances of the president. The farmer Is making much money now. He could make more If the protective system were destroyed. It Is up to him to say whether ho Is making so much thnt he Is willing to be robbed of a portion of It. Demands of the Party. The American Is a long suffering man. In the midst of the most a pi undid civilization of all the ages. In a country rich beyond compare, he hns been careless, thoughtless. Neither public nor private expenditure hns been In nnywlse curbed. The hour Is here to stop some of these things. Tho Democratic party of Indiana demands the wiping from the stntute books of every law which enables one man to prey upon the labor or the savings of nnother. It demands the preservation of every vested right In America, and It likewise demands the extermination of every vested wrong. It calls upon all men for public nnd private economy. It demands that public affairs shnll be .honestly nnd economically administered. It begs the Individual citizen to be part of tho common good and to stand for men. not systems, for right, not riches. It declares thnt cunning Is not wisdom, thnt cupidity Is not character. I'orgettlng those things which nre behind It, It presses forward lownrd the ern of the equality of all men before the law and to the accomplishment of these ends, this convention pledges Its life. Its fortune, nnd lis sacred honor."
