He served as governor of Indiana from 1909 to 1913. During his time in office, he presided over various reforms, such as a bill aimed at regulating housing conditions in the state’s two largest cities[1] and measures aimed at improving public health and working conditions.[2]
Marshall became increasingly conservative towards the end of his life, as is shownby his opposition to minimum wages and limits to working hours.[3]
He was also the 28th vice president of the United States. He served under President Woodrow Wilson from 1913 to 1921.
