In Denver

In one of the installments of the late Thomas R. Marshall's memoirs appearing in the press last week, were these words:

"One time in the City of Denver, while I was Vice President, a big husky policeman kept following me around until I asked him what he was doing. He said he was guarding my person. I said: 'Your labor is in vain. Nobody was ever crazy enough to shoot at a Vice President. If you will go, away and find somebody to shoot, at me, I'll go down in history as being the first Vice President who ever attracted enough attention to have even a, crank shoot at him.'"
