Critics dismiss Vice President Marshall keynote at Indiana Democratic gathering
Washington correspondent W H Smith reports that Marshall’s keynote at the Indianapolis Democratic State Convention drew skepticism from both parties. Critics say the vice president is a partisan figure in nonpartisan cloak, while President Wilson’s wartime actions are cited as partisan. The piece notes graft concerns, contract oversight, and Congress scrutiny of war spending alongside debates over Gen. Leonard Wood and preparedness.
