Story of the Early Life of the
Democratic Nominee For
President, Whose Ambitions
Caused Him to Switch From
the Law to Politics—How
His Running Mate Attracted
the Public Eye.
w
8acond Article on the National
Nominees.
•OODROW WIL80 N, the
standard bearer of the Dem-
ocratic party In the present
memorable presidential cam-
paign, and Thomas Hlley Marshall, his
running mute, made their debut in the
larger arena of political contest after
having become known to the country
at large in tbelr capacity of governors
of Neiv Jersey and Indiana respective-
ly. Both men have bud busy careers
and quite as Interesting us busy. Wil-
son lias wanted to get Into public life
since be was a youth, und Marshall,
while not quite as umbltious perhaps,
nevertheless possesses characteristics
and natural ability that have placed
him In the limelight. Wilson holds
Marshall in high esteem, and Marshall
bolds Wilson In high esteem. They are
a most burmonious pair of contestants
for the two high offices to which they
aspire.
Woodrow Wilson occupies a unique
position In American politics. As pres-
ident of Princeton university he left
• deep mark on collegiate traditions
as a champion of the democratic spirit
in university life, and as a scholar his
works on government have received
serious attention In every English
speaking land.
Governor Wilson was born in Staun-
ton, Va., Dec, 28, 1856. He came of
Scotch-Irlsh stock, both throbgh his
father, Joseph Wilson, who was or-
dained a Presbyterian minister after
studying at Princeton seminary, and
through his mother, Jessie Woodrow,
whose family for generations bad been
prominent in affairs of religion and
learning in Scotland. In the first half
of the last century the paternal site of
Governor Wilson’s family was well
known to the public of western Penn-
sylvania and Qhio, for his grandfather
was the head of a large family and an
Influential editor of strong opinions.
WILSON’3 YOUNGER DAYS
When Woodrow Wilson was two
years old—in his young days he also
bore the name of Thomas—his father
moved to Augusta, Ga., to become one
of the noted ministers of the south.
There the boy Tommy was Impressed
as a four-year-old with a shout that Is
still his earliest recollection-“Lincoln Is
elected, and there'll be war!”
At the age of nine young Woodrow
attended “a select classical school” in
Augusta. The educational training he
received in school was supplemented
with Instruction from Ills father, who
guided the boy into ways of clear, cold
thinking. In 1870 the Itev. Dr. Wilson
moved his family to Columbia, S. C.,
where for four years lie filled a profes-
sorship in the Southern Presbyterian
Theological seminary. After three
years' schooling in Columbia Woodrow,
at the age of seventeen, went to Da-
vidson college. -His studies there were
Interrupted by illness, and he hud to
lie removed to the neiv family homo In
Wilmington, hi. C., where he remained
a year before entering Princeton col-
lege.
Wilson displayed no sectional pas-
Bion, as did some of ills companions,
but he became known as a Democrat
of decided opinions.
Young Wilson ranked forty-first
among the forty-two honor men of Ids
class. That he nchleved, po higher
rank is partly due to the fact that his
chief interest lay in the studies eon
cerulng government. Toward the end

PUBLIC CAREER HIS AIM
When Thomas W. Wilson—so he
signed his name In his college days—
left Princeton Ills mind was se.lt11si
and Kern was elected by- -the Demo-
cratic legislature.
Governor Marshall also put himself
in the public eye by his action In l»n- ■’laei d on the roof,
oring the requisition of California for
John J. McNamara.. This brought on
The Turn of the Years.
llo.vy may we know you; year of all?
You come, as others come.
Night sandaled, and your flying feet
Set bells a-swlng jn every street—
But you are dumb.
We run. unwearied travelers
Still on tho upward slope
Of life, to take your strong young
hand.
To search, to dare, to understand.
Pilgrims of hope.
You lead us on; you lead us up.
We seek your avatar
By’ fords of faith, tlie pass of tears,
Peaks of delight. O year of years.
You take us far!
And then you go. We liear your voice;
We know your name at last.
You were the future that we sought.
And all the years may bring as naught
But you. the past.

tered the legal school of the Univer-
sity of Virginia. Here he not oply
studied hard, but became popular as a
leader among his classmates. In May,
1882, he took up the practice of law
In Atlanta, where he was unknown, hut
a year and n half of little or no busi-
ness taught him that it was next to im-
possible for a young lawyer In Atlan-
ta at that time to support himself long
enough to get into public office.
After becoming engaged to Miss El-
len Louise Axson of Rome, Ga.. he
went north to Johns Hopkins universi-
ty, where lie spent two years ns a
student of history and political econo-
my. In 1885 he completed niul pub-
lished his flrst book, “Congressional
Government—A Study of Government
by Committee.” The publication of
the book resulted in calls from several
colleges. He accepted that from Bryn
Mawr, becoming associate in history
and political economy.
Woodrow Wilson was married at the
home of Miss Axson’s grandfather
June 24, 1885. From this union three
girls have been born—Margaret, Elea-
nor and Jessie.
Professor Wilson took Ills Ph. D. de-
gree at Johns Hopkins and . later ac-
cepted a lectureship there, which took
him to Baltimore once u week. In
1888 lie was elected to the chair of his-
tory and political economy at Wes-
leyan university. Middletown. Conn.
Ills growing reputation, added to by
The plea of guilty which ended the
Los Angeles trial moved Governor
Marshall's severest critics to revise
their judgment.and to concede that he
had performed his duty iu spite of
great pressure to evade it for political
considerations.
Another executive act which demon-
strated, say ills champions, that Gov-
ernor. Marshall was superior to the
considerations of political expediency
was hip veto of the statute legalizing
Sunday baseball. A large part of the
so called liberal vote had been east
for him as n protest against the blue
law proclivities of his predecessor.
Governor Marshall was born in
North Manchester, Ind., March 14,
1854. He is of the famous Virginia
family of Marshalls, being a grand-
nephew of the chief justice of the
United States. John Marshall. His
father was I>r. Daniel M. Marshall.
His mother, who before her marriage
was Martha E. Patterson, was a di-
rect descendant of Charles Carroll of
Carrollton.
In 1873 Marshall was graduated from
Wabash college, at Crawfordsvllle, re-
ceiving the degree of bachelor of arts.
While In college he became a member
of the Phi Beta Kappa Greek letter
fraternity. After Ills graduation Mar-
shall moved to Fort Wayne and studied
law In the office of Judge Walter Olds.
He later moved to Columbia City. Ind.,

scholar, should he elected to the pres-

"WHO IS TOM MARSHALL?"
The legal attainments displayed by
Marshall made him a conspicuous fig-
ure iu the courts of northern Indiana.
He is reserved, calm and insistent.
He pursued his course with so little
noise that when the Democratic party
of Indiana nominated him for gov
ernor In 1008 everybody asked. "Who Is
Tom Marshall?"' He led the Indiana
Democrats to their first decisive vic-
tory in sixteen years.
The centralization of governmental
power has been opposed by, Marshall.
