National convention this morning,
carried the Speaker to a total of 6,'6
cut of the 10S8 delegates, but still left
him 170 votes short of the two-thirds
vote decennary to a choice.
The balloting was continuing at an
early hour this morning with the
Clark lorvca outwardly confident aud j
the Wilson managers doggedly assert-1
Ing that the final "break" would come
to the New Jersey (lovernor.

Wheu an attempt to vote proxies
in the Washington deelgation was
made. Chairman James ruled that
they could not be used. The Wash
ington men pleaded with him to make
n exception In this rase. The state
of Washington had not alternates.
they aid, "and we have universally
recognixed each other- tate proxies
from the beginning."
James stuck to his ruling. "So
long aa the chair ha no challenge
made of proxie it cannot Interfere,"
be said.
A Washington delegate shouted at
James:
"I appeal from the decision of the
chair. This Is part of the fraud
which haa been practiced In this con
vention." Ollie James became white with ang
er: "If the gentleman has any opinion
that any of the director of this con
vention haa practiced fraud he haa
remedy and I hereby Invite him to ap
peal from the decision of the chair,"
shouted James.
The roll call of the delegation then
proceeded.
The vote resulted: Clark 81, Wilson
31. 2 absent
Under the rule James directed that
the vote be cast for Clark.
With only 971 votes needed to nom
inate after the 44th ballot waa take
the Wilson managers began a con
certed search for the needed tallies.
On the 45th ballot New Mexico do
manded a roll ralL While it waa be
ing taken the Wilson managers an
nounced that Mississippi, which had
been passed for a caucus, had decid
ed to come over Wilson on this bal
lot, this adding to his total 20.
The right of J. D. Hand, one of the
alternates in the New Mexico dele
gation to vote, was opposed by the
Wilson men on the delegation, but
James said he was regularly elected
and entitled to vote.
Chairman James ruled that the New
Mexico poll showed Clark 4, Wilson
4 and that under the state conven
tion's Instructions the vote must be
cast for Clark.
Mayor Fitzgerald, or Boston, was
next recognized. He said that Mas
sachusetts had voted It debt for its
governor. Foss, believing he was the
right man.
It was Foss' desire, he said, that
his name be withdrawn, and that Mas
sachusetts vote solidly for Wilson.
Congressman -Fitzgerald of Brook
lyn, Charles Murphy's adviser, was
next recognized, and said:
"The desire of every Democrat In
this convention Is to leave the hall
united, harmonious, and with victory
assured. Whatever personal differ
ences we may have had over condi
tions every delegate should be willing
to give up his personal feelings to
the welfare of the party.
"In the hope that we can demon
strate that no matter how hard we
may strive for the mastery of our hon
est opinions, we should be Willing to
do anything for the benefit of our
party.
"In the interest of harmony, in the
interest of a united party, and in the
hope of victory next fall, I move that
the roll call be made suspended and
that we "nominate by acclamation that
distinguished representative of Dem
ocracy of New Jersey Governor
Wood row Wilson."
The match was in and the powder
was set off. There was a wild out

IS
NAM OF IMA
Thomas Woodrow Wilson was born
in Staunton, Va., Dec. 2S, 1856, the
son of Joseph and Less I e Woodrow
Wilson. He took his A. B. degree at
Princenton in 1879 and his A. M. de
gree in 1882. In the same year he
received his LL. B. from the Univer
sity of Virginia. Four years later
Pb. D. was conferred upon him by
John Hopkins University, and since
then he has had numerous other de
crees conferred by prominent col
leges, including' Yale, Brown, Dart
mouth, Harvard and Williams. He
was married June 24, 1885, to Miss
Helen Louise Arson, of Savannah,
Ga. For a few years he practiced
law in Atlanta, Ga., and later was as
sociate professor of history and po
litical economy at Hryn Mawr and
Wesleyan Universities. He was elect
ed president of Princeton August,
1902. which position he occupied un
til October, 1910, when he resigned
to take upon himself the duties of
Governor of New Jersey, taking his
seat Jan. 17, 1911. He is a member
of the American Academy of Political
and Social Science, American Histor
ical Association, American Econo
mies Association and a correspond-
burst of cheers from every section of '"K member of Massachusetts Histor-
tbe hall.
Every delegation, with the excep
tion of Missouri, was on Its feet, yell
ing and cheering.
In the Nebraska delegation, Bryan
sat with a broad smile on his face.
Delegates surrounding him grasped
his hand and patted him on the
bark.
.At last Governor Francis, Senator
8tone and Governor Reed went back
to the platform.
Reed was recognized.
"Without the slightest desire to In
dicate any feeling of resentment
against thfs motion, we must object
to its being carried under the rule
that requires unanimous consent. We
want a roll call, so that Missouri's
vote can be recorded on this ballot
for old Champ Clark."
Delegate F. H. McCullough of Mis
souri demanded the right to mske a
statement
"As a delegate from Missouri," he
aid, "I want to say that no one de
plores the conditions that have aris
en here more than I do. We are for
Champ Clark, first, last and all the
time. But before any man Missouri
1 for harmony and for victory, and
should vote for Wilson here."
As the forty-sixth roll call began It
was plain from the outset that Wilsons
nomination was a certainty.
The Democratic platform reaffirms
the "Rule of the Feople" and declares
for Federal aid to flood districts,
state right, Alaska development
and evolution on broad but safe prin
ciples of Jefferson. The platform is
progressive. ..
Almost Impossible.

SENT TO NOMINEE
BALTIMORE, Md., July 2. Senat
or O 'Gorman said:
'It's a splendid nomination and ab
solutely assures Democratic success
at the coming election. Governor
Wilson's nomination means that In
every state the fight of the local tick
et will be made much easier."
William McAdoo, w ho built the Jer
sey tunnels, was Jubilant. "It Is a
glorious victory, cleanly obtained," he
declared.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 2. Governor
Marshall of Indiana sent the follow
ing message to Governor Wilson, the
Democratic presidential nominee:
"I hope that you will accept my
whole-hearted congratulations and my
promise to do all that my ability and
station in life.will permit me to help
elect yon."
WASHINGTON, July 2. Oscar W.
Underwood 'sent this telegram to
Governor Wilson:
"Accept my congratulations on your
nomination. It will be my pleasure
to support your candidacy to my ut
most strength." j
The first nln were almost uneven!
ful. Champ Clark leading and Wood-row-
Wilson not fnr behind. Then
followed Harmon and Underwood In
the order named until the tenth bal
lot, when the New York delegation
left llarnior for Clark, putting Harmon
in fourth place and Underwood In
third.
There followed, of the dimmer
lights, Governor Marshall, of Indiana
and Governor Baldwin, of Connecticut
favorite sons. Baldwin's name, how
ever, disappeared after the fourth bal
lot and waa seen no more.
William Jennings Bryan received a
vote on nearly every ballot and on
the second received two. Senator
Kern, of Indiana, who was being
groomed as Brynn's dark-horse choice
appeared in the balloting after the
second, and thereafter Jiad at feast
one vote and sometimes two. On bal
lots up to the 11th, Mayor Gaynor, of
New York, received a vote.
The long-predicted break In the
New York delegation came In the 10th
nanoi. wnen cnaries r. Murphy an
nounced 81 out of the 90 vote from
that state for Clark. He got no fur
ther when a great demonstration
broke out among the spectators, dele
gates and friends. While it was In
progress there were several fisticuffs
on the floor.
Those who said they were In the
confidence of the New York delega
tion predicted there would be a
'witch away from Clark In subse-
luent ballots.
Murphy later announced that the
New York delegation showed 81 for
Clark, 8 for Wilson arid 1 for Under
wood, but under the unit rule gave
all its 90 votes to Clark.
The announcement of the 81 votes
for Clark from New York started a
demonstration among the Clark dele
gates. They did not wait for Murphy
to announce the completion of the
New York vote, that state having 90
in all.
A Clark enthusiast grabbed the
standard of the Massachusetts dele
gation, that state not having voted.
A scramble tn which the Wilson and
Clark faclons indulged resulted.
The standards of several states
were carried to the platform, where
the ser?eant-at-arins endeavored to
restrain the delegates. After a scram
ble the bearers reached the platform.
At 12:8 the demonstration had con
tinued for 20 minutes and unlike
those of last night It was carried on
almost exclusively by the delegates.
The previous outbursts had been
largely the work of spectators. Soon
afterward the chairman pounded for
order and the rollcall continued
New York was counted as 90 votes
for Clark, under the unit rule.
W. J. Bryan entered the ball as the
Wilson demonstration was at Its
height and went to the Nebraska del
egation. The cheering became deafening.
Bryan started a poll of the Nebraska
delegation. Two gray-haired dele
gates from Nebraska grasped his
hands and cheered.
At 1:28, when the chairman tried to
restore order, the Wilson-Bryan dem-
onstraion had lasted 50 minutes. Bry
an, after conferring with the Oregon
aeiegatlon, returned to his seat bv
the Nebraska standard.
With all traces of last night's
storm removed, save In the tired fac
es of the delegates, Convention Hall
was once again packed this afternoon
for the nominating session of Demo
cracy s hosts. The galleries were
filed to overflowing an hour before
the time set for the meetlne. nut
there were very few delegates in their
places. The vast hall had been made
spick and span once again; the stan
dards snowing the delegates' seats
had been again fastened to the floor
and new seats substituted for those
broken in the excitement of the prev
ious session.
The only things reminiscent of the
frenzy of 12 hours ago were a monst
er circus portrait of Governor Mar-
snau or Indiana and an oil cloth sign
e want Wilson," both of which
giarea irom the gallery rail.
It was noticeable that the feeling
ainuiiB me policemen and delegates
alike was none too equable. Brief
excitements was created on the floor
wnen a Missouri delegate attemntert
to seat a boy In the front row near
aim. a policeman promptly s ejected
the youth.
The New York delegates In a cau
cus juat oerore the convention assem
bled agreed "for tho present to vote
for Governor Harmon." This decis
ion will hold good. Judge Parker said
until it is seen that a nomination can
not be made, and 'the the delegation
will be ready to vote for any good
Democrat.."
The Clark managers were making a
supreme 'effort to get the speaker
named on one of the first three bal
lots when the hour for the convention
to assemble arrives.
Every one of the chleftans was pros
eltylng. Former Governer Francis
and Senator Stone personally appeal
ed Murphy of Tammany and to the
leaders of the Harmon force.
"If we can't land Clark early there
wll be danger of someone you don't
want possibly liryan himself landing
it," was he appeal made.
Murphy was noncommittal, merely
saying If before New York was reach
ed In the balloting there seemed a
chance for a choice, the Empire state
might swing Into line.
The Harmon managers positively!
refused to withdraw their man.
"We can muster 670 votes after the '
favorite sons are withdrawn," said I
Huirh U Nichols, " and we think we
can get the balance when the show
down comes."
The Wllon men Insisted that they
were, uncovering progressiva
ment momentarily.
"The west Is nearly ready to line
up for our governor," said Congress
man Hughes, "and we hav every
reason to bo satisfied with the out
look." Ten minutes before meeting time
nietuhors of the resolutions commit
tee w ho had been working steadily on
the platform since 10 o'cock, left the
committee room, their task complete.
Colonel llryiin declared himself plott
ed with the party a declarations, as
serting that the platform was splend
idly progressive.
Cliairmnn Jnuies' gavel convening
the session fell St 4:11.
Itov. Henry Whartoon of Bnltlmore
offered prayer. The Invocation over.
Chairman James Immediately ordered
the. calling of the roll for the second
ballot on the presidential nominee.
As the roll of the state proceeded
the galleries cheered loudly the an
nouncement In every Instance. Chair
man James and the secretary demand
ed lime and aitaln that the result be
received In silence, so that there
could 1 no mistake by tho toller,
but the crowd wanted to cheer aud Insisted.
When It was seen that ther was
likely of llttl i-hnnge In (he result a
number of Clark manager went to
Murphy and begged blm to swing th
New York delegation Into Una forth
speaker.
"If you do, It will start a stampede
and It will be over soon and w all
can start for home." begged Senator
Stone but Murphy listened and made
no reply. ,
Wild cheering followed th announci
ment of Massachusetts when It was
announced that Wilson had gained
one and Clark lost one. In New Hamp
shire there was another desertion
from Clark, who received only seven
of the eight state votes, th other go
ing to llson.
New Jersey shifted th two vote
cast last night for Underwood to Con
gressman 8tilzer of New York, amid
good natured banter from the galler
ies. tn Ohio Clark and Wilson each gain
ed a vote. Harmon lost one, the oth
er being a delegate who last flight re
fused to vote. Mr. Bryan received a
solitary vote here, as on the first ballot.

HE
L
PRICE Of OLD ONES
Notwithstanding that the season Is
being rapidly brought to a close,
there Is again a quite fair demand for
old potatoes with receivers selling the
best at It and 11.10 per cental In Portland.
Country holders are still making
persistent effort lo soil their product
but buyers are wary and practically
none of the wholesale Interests are
In the market at all. All are trying
to clean up (heir own surplus.
New potatoes are now coming for-
wnrd so freely that the price is agniii
being generally shaded. Most of the
stock now offering Is of improved
quality, although some very poor po
tutoes are being received and are
detriment to the general trade.
Ilest new potatoes are selling as high
a, 2c a pound, but the bulk of the
good offerings are not going above
$ 1.75 Uf f I.H5. whllo ordinary lorn I
quality Is being moved at ft. CO.
The outlook Is for continued dull
ness In the bop market, with possibly
further decline In veluea, both lu
the rase of spots and futures. In all
quarters now grower and dealer
alike are uml nly concerned with lb
Dining crop, the prospect fur which
was never better at this tlm of the
year, and tho market as a cotiso-
uence Is undergoing a process.
For (he time quotations on 1912
rang from 18 to 29 cents, but at these
figure there I no great demand, and
It I the belief of some member of
the trade that th new crop when
ready for th market will veil at oven
lower figure, Taking this view of
the sltuntlon, these traders naturally
are not anxious to take on anything
like liberal supplies at going quota
tions. Kor 1911s the deiuaud Is limited In
the extreme and the market nominal,
with 27 to 271 cents th general quo
tations. Bmall deals In last year's
growth are reported from time to
lime, but at the best the Interest In
1911s Is slack and the Indication are
that last year's hops from this tlm
on will be an unimportant factor tn
the market
FIRM TONE PREVAILS
IN WOOL MARKET
A very firm tone continues to rulo
all through the wool trade. Every
where In the country trading is at
tho extreme mark. While the vol
ume of business Is small, this Is due
entirely to the more limited offering.
A la to lloston mall advice says of
the market:
Trading Is still of rather moderate
proportions In the local wool market,
but If there has been no increase In
the actual traiiiisactlons, there Is a
greater Inquiry than there was r
cently Tho continued strength of
the primary markets Is beginning to
be reflected In local prices and fears
of a material advance In the near fu-
ure seem to be wakening the Interest
of tho manufacturers in the market
The early shorn new clips are being
Icked up about as fast as they como
n and there Is little doubt that sales
would be larger If the supply wns bet
ter. Remaining supplies of old do
mestic, wools are being carefully look-
d over and trading In foreign wools
s restricted only because they are so
well sold up.
"In the west matters are as exclt-
d as ever, and the new clips are pass
ing from first bands rapidly and at
steadily rising prices. In Montana
several mttllon pounds of wool have
changed bands at 20 (t 21c for aver
age clips, while 2'lr. has been the gen
eral going price for clips running well
to medium, and It was said that there
as a sale of this kind of stock at
Miles City as high as 222c It Is con
servatively estimated- that fully two
thirds of the wools of that fctate sre
now out of first hands. At the flha-
nlka. Or., sales this week about 1,000,
000 pounds of wool were moved at
prices that meant a clean cost laid
down in lloston of from 67c for the
average clips np to 62c for those run-,
nlng well to staple."

INJURED BY RAINS
As a lesult of the wet weather (he
past few days the market was prac
tically hare of cherries Tuesday and
to what extent that fruit will figure
In tho market from this time on I
a matter of conject-.iie. In the valley
orchards, where rain has been fall
ing more or less steadily for throe
days, most of the lllrnts. Hoyal Annel
and other varieties that were ripen
ing are snld to have been ruined,
which will mean a serious loss to
many of the grower,
Fortunately a considerable portion
of the crop of the enrly sorts had been
marketed before the Intest wet spell
set In, and dealers say there Is. stilt
some hope for the Lamberts, which
are the latest of the standard sorts.
In some of the Valley destrlcls the
Lambert crop was lien ring mnturlty
when the rains started, and there the
chances nro that a good deal of dam-
ago has been done. In other sec
tions, where the fnilt mature a lit
tlo Inter, thn prospect I said to be
more favorable, (ienernlly, however,
the rains are believed to have work
