Marshall, wife of the vice-presidential nominee L of the Democratic party, is a keen student of affairs and as the constant compan ion of her husband has had an exceptional opportunity of specializing on tuman nature. A very practical and far-reaching result of this peculiar in terest in the larger family of the state- she , has no children of her own is found in the long list of humanitarian bills passed hy the Indiana.- legisla ture during her husband's regime as governor. A bill to curtail child labor leads the list, which numbers twenty, and includes almost every legal cor rection for the immediate relief of labor, especially for that pertaining to voinen and children. ? . T!ie 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. 1 - v . They are such chums, this "tender-hearted", governor and his wife, and where one Is the other is pretty sure to he found. They have traveled ralf over the country together, and if the "Woman's" Natidnal Democratic Jeague has anything to do with it they will soon be going to Washington together. Mrs. Marshall h$ honorary vice-president of the" league and keenly inter ested 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 prin ciples of Democracy. ' A . . . " y ' Senator Simmons Tariff Record. Senator Simmons is criticised for Lis vote for a tarifl dutv on lumber, coal au I iron ore, cast iu 1009 when a repablioan protection bill was before tU seute. He voted for a revenue dcty ou these three articles in (his rtrubli'.an protectfju hill, and voted aan:t the biil. Mr. Simmons is falsely cliafged with bcicc under the influence of the lum ttr interests. In the republican pro tuticn till, . making the lumbermen lav iiieii duties on what they bought. Mr. Simmons thought thai there ought alo to be a dutj on lumber , and vot el lor a rp.vtuue duty of 7 per ceut C3 lumber. - It democratic propositions, he vot f put lumber on the free list, as t: i articles that they had to buy were a'-' int on the free list or their duties r'- ilv reiucad!

Clark, Davis,-Fos-ter, Johnston, Meyers, Newlands, Overman. Paynter, Shivelev," Sim mons, Smith, of ' South Carolina ; Stone, Swanson, TaylQr, Thornton; 22 democrats. Thus it appears that while only eleven democrats voted for free coal; 22, among them Simmons and Over man, voted against patting cOal on i the free list. Nor did the house-Tote to put coal on the tree list. Concord Times.- ' " . .v Another Misstatement Corrected. The Progressive Farmer, "owned and edited by Clarence Pee, bad been placed iu that now famous list of newspapers (mostly from foreign states) said to be opposinWSimmons for the senate. v . When Mr. Poe learned . how the managers of Governor Kitchin were using his great paper as a bludgeon to lain bast Simmons, he immediately wrote " the managers of . Senator Sim mons as follows : .V Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 1G, 1912. 'Mr. S. L. Rogers, Raleigh, If. C." "My Dear , Mr. Rogers: If I had ! thought I had occasion for having the prCKressive Farmer engage in a fight aRaiost Senator -Simmons, I shouldn't mind von knowing- it. Since The pr0gressive Farmer is not doing any such, thing, however, it is not fair that his supporters should get the ideal that it-is. .."Mr. McNinch had a perfect rfght to quote what I said in The Progress ive Farmer about 7 the evils of a-nigh protective tariff, but it is not fair for htm to include it in a long list of papers opposing Senator Simmons, when the truth Is 5hat my v paper" is absolutely taking no part in the senatorial con troversy. . - " "You mav make any use Qf this let tcer you wish. x "Sincerelv yours, CLARENCE POE "President and Editor."

Rock insham cennty is in the 'fifth congressional district andthis is the home district of Governor W. W. Kitchin. The Rambler had an idea tlvat Mf. Kitchin should be allowed the fifth district, bnt there are a lot of folks living,; in the counties : composing it who seem to think that there is a pop sibilitv of his. losing it and still other believe that even if he carries it the plurality will be much smaller than the friends of the Governor expect. The Rambler nosed a boot a little. .. He asked especially abont; Rockingham county and was surprised to learn that Chief Justice Clark is strong and one well-informed citizen said tliat he ac tually believed that Judge'Clark would receive" onnthira of the vote of the county. wN From Reilsville The. Rambler went to Madison and en route passed, through the county seat, Went worth, and inland town, but an attractive lit tle community.

This being the only speech he expected to make in Surry, there were prnsent men from all over the county to hear from the Senator hmself his side of the senatorial question. His speech was a clear, strong and Interesting narration of hjs record in the United States Senate, especially that part of it assailed by hi3 "adver saries-and accusers. 'i In refering to his record Mr. Simmons said : "I do not claim, - that during- the 12 years I have been your servant in the Senate I have made no mistakes,, but, taking my record there as a whole, I stand upon it, and I confidently appsal to the Dmocrts of Korth Carolina for re-election upon that record.

Answering the charge that his Democrasy was of a questionable sort, he said in a part : "I am not in tlie habit of classifying Democrats. As for myself, however, I am just a plain old-fashioned, hard working, ticket. voting Democrat that and nothing more.
