Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 397, [5] pages. Illustrations. Index. Front flyleaf removed. Red "X" on half-title. Boards worn and soiled. No DJ. Thomas Riley Marshall (March 14, 1854- June 1, 1925) was an American politician who served as the 28th vice president of the United States from 1913 to 1921 under President Woodrow Wilson. A prominent lawyer in Indiana, he became an active and well known member of the Democratic Party by stumping across the state for candidates and organizing party rallies that later helped him win election as the 27th governor of Indiana. Marshall's popularity as Indiana governor, and the state's status as a critical swing state, helped him secure the vice presidential nomination with Wilson in 1912 and win the general election. Marshall's brand of humor caused Wilson to move his office away from the White House. Marshall was targeted in an assassination attempt in 1915 for supporting intervention in World War I. During Marshall's second term he delivered morale-boosting speeches during the war and became the first U.S. vice president to hold cabinet meetings, which he did while Wilson was in Europe during peace negotiations. As he was president of the United States Senate, a small number of anti-war Senators kept it deadlocked by refusing to end debate. To enable critical wartime legislation to be passed, Marshall had the body adopt its first procedural rule allowing filibusters to be ended by a two-thirds majority voteâ"a version of this rule remains in effect. After his terms as vice president, he opened an Indianapolis law practice and authored several legal books and his memoir, Recollections. Marshall's vice presidency is most remembered for a leadership crisis following a stroke that incapacitated Wilson in October 1919. Because of their personal dislike for Marshall, Wilson's advisers and wife Edith sought to keep him uninformed about the president's condition to prevent him from assuming presidential powers and duties. Many people, including cabinet officials and congressional leaders, urged Marshall to become acting president, but he refused to forcibly assume Wilson's powers, not wanting to set a standard of doing so. Without strong leadership in the executive branch, the administration's opponents defeated the ratification of the League of Nations treaty and returned the United States to an isolationist foreign policy. Marshall ended his time in office as the first vice president since Daniel D. Tompkins, nearly a century earlier, to serve two full terms, and the first vice president re-elected, since John C. Calhoun. A popular public official, he was heard to make the oft-quoted remark during a tedious debate: What this country needs is a really good five-cent cigar. Marshall's personal influence on legislation was a powerful aid to the Wilson administration. He advocated strict neutrality prior to World War I (a stand he later regretted), supported the League of Nations and opposed woman suffrage. His homespun philosophy and humor are recorded in this volume.…
