Background
Marshall had held his seat since 1895, when Governor William Upham appointed him to fill a vacancy on the court.[1] He was thereafter elected to the seat two times, first in the special election of 1896, being re-elected in the regular election held in 1897.[2] He faced no opposition in either of those elections.
