BRYAN WINS FIGHT
CHAMBERLAIN NEAR SECOND CHOICE
PLATFORM PROGRESSIVE, REAF
FIRMING "RULE OF PEOPLE,"
AND DECLARING FOR
STATE'S RIGHTS AND
JEFFERSON I AN
PRINCIPLES
BALTIMORE, July 3. Governor
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, was
nominated for President of the Unit
ed States by the Democratic Nation
al convention at its afternoon session
when, ou the 46th ballot he received
990 votes to 84 for Champ Clark.
The Missouri delegation .which had
. remained faithful to Clark to the end,
then moved that the nomination be
made unanimous. There was a great
chorus Of approval and the long fight
was over.
The convention became a love feast
when it met to select a running mate
for Governor Wilson. When the con
vention suspended the regular order
of business, (the nomination of a
Vice-Presidential candidate shortly
before 11 o'clock to make way fdrthe
reading and adoption of the platform
six candidates for the Vice-Presidency
had been placed in nomination.
They were: "
Governor Burke, of North Dakota;
Governor Marshall, of Indian; Ex
Governor Chamberlain, of Oregon, El
more W. Hurst, of Illinois; Mayor
Preston, of Baltimore and Champ
Clark, of Missouri.
Governor Marshall was nominated
on the fourth ballot.
New Jersey moved that Marshall's
nomination be made unanimous. The
ICPU&OV
WOODROW WILSON
motion was lost. v ;,
The convention then fedjourned,
" sine die, shortly before 2 o'clock this
. morning.
The . i esult of the first ballot for
L Vice-President was : Marshall, 389;
Rlirkfi. anM? rhamherlnin 1K7- TTiirHt
of Illinois, 7; Preston, 58; McCombs, I
is; usDorne, a; sulzer, 3; Wade 26;
absent 46J.
The sentiment of the convention i
was strongly in favor of giving the
. Speaker the place if he would accept
it. H. H. Dean ,of Georgia, placed
Clark in nomination and took the con
vention unawares. Despite a speech
of ex-Governor A .M. Dockery, of Mis
souri, withdrawing Clark's name and
a telegraphed statement from the
Speaker himself, declaring he would
not take the place, the convention
was hopeful of his final acceptance,
and one of the reasons for the sus
pension of the vote on the nomina
tions was the desire of the leaders to
make sure of Clark's position.
Governor Burke ,of North Dakota,
was backed strongly for second place.
His name was roundly cheered when
it was placed before the convention.
Wilson after he had been weaken
ed sligntly in last night's figures, be
came a ptotent factor on the first bal
lot today.
But it was not until Senator Bank
head of Alabama withdrew Under
wood's name that the storm broke.
The Clark men had insisted that they
would hold one third of the delegates
and block the Wilson nomination.

v victory was won, Foss of Massachus

The victors were already rejoicing
and it required Chairman James, a
dozen secretaries and a couple of pla-

toons of police to restore order.
John J. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, as
spokesman for Charles F. Murphy of
the New York delegates, took the plat
form and began a speech. Fitzgerald
appealed for harmony.
I The roll call on the forty-sixth and
final ballot was begun amidst tumult
ous noise and disorder, which made
it impossible for the clerks to catch
the response of the delegation chair
man. After Senator Stone's motion to
make Wilson's nomination unanimous
carried the convention adjourned un
til 9 o'clock.
In order that the roll call might be
a record one and at the same time
the nomination unanimous. Chair
man James permitted Senator Stone
to move after the vote was announc
ed by the chair, but before it was re
corded by the secretary that the nom
ination be made by acclamation.
Delegates and spectators were still
on their feet and cheering, when at
the end of five minutes, James order
ed the delegates and galleries to
"come to order."
At 12 o'clock, the hour set tor the
convention to reassemble, only a few
of the delegates were in their seats.
The New Yorkers were caucusing in
their room. The galleries were not
two thirds full, although spectators
were coming in rapidly.
James then gave orders for the call
ing of the roll for the forty-third bal
lot. When Virginia was called it was
announced that for the first time the
delegation was voting under the unit
rule. Its 24 votes were immediately
cast for Wilson, amid wild cheering
from the Wilsonites, who seemed to
enjoy the realization that Thomas F.
Ryan, denounced by Bryan from the
platform of the convention, was one
oUsthe delegates whose half vote was
cast for the New Jersey governor.
The Virginia break was a facer for
the anti-Wilson men, and many of
them admitted that there would be
little chance of preventing Wilson's
nomination if another big state went
over. This became almost a certain
ty when a moment later West Virgin
ia cast her 16 votes for Wilson.
Theodore Bell, Senator Stone, D. R.
OF NFW JERSEY.
Francis and others were working hard
to gather men and hold one-third sol
id against Wilson and so' prevent his
nomination.
The Maryland delegation demand
ed that it be polled on the forty-third
ballot, and this was done. The dele
gation stood 5i for Wilson to 9 for
Clark, with 1 absent The Wilson
men forced the poll.
After the 43d ballot some of the ultra-Clark
leaders said that while they
would concede Wilson about 640 votes
that would be the limit of his vote
