Tammany Hall Defeated and Wilson-Bryan Forces Score a!
Complete Victory, the Nomination of Woodrow Wilson!
of New Jersey Being Unanimous Governor Wilson Was!
Nominated on 46th Ballot. Receiving 996 Votes to 84;
for Speaker Clark.
(Special to Evening Democrat by United Press.)
Baltimore, July 2. For president of the United States,
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. This was the
result of the most remarkable convention ever held in the;
history of American politics.
With only 324 votes on the first ballot, the New Jersey
executive steadily gained ground until he finally secured the
necessary two-thirds majority of the delegates and won a
nomination for the highest office i nthe gift of the people.
Never before in the history of the party have the lines
been so closely drawn between the progressives and con
servatives; and never before has the progressive wing of
the party won such a complete victory over Tammany
hall, as that won by the Wilson-Bryan democrats this after
noon. The climax in the great battle at Baltimore came on
the 45th ballot, on which Wilson received 633 and Clark;
306. No sooner had the result been announced than Under
wood wired his managers to formally withdraw his name.
The receipt of this message was followed by a statement
from Champ Clark in which he released all delegates in
structed or pledged to his candidacy. Governor Foss then
withdrew from the race in favor of Governor Wilson.
Senator Stone of Missouri asked and obtained unan
imous consent to make a statement. Amid wild scenes he
announced that he conceded the nomination of Governor
Wilson but stated that the Missouri delegation would'
stand pat on Clark until the finish, but if defeated .Clark
will loyally support the convention's choice.
Fitzgerald of New York then obtained recognition
from the chair and moved that the nomination of Wilson
be made unanimous. Senator Reed of Missouri was on his
feet in an instant and in a brief statement said that the
Missouri delegation woul doppose the nomination of Wil
son by acclamation and would be found voting with the
speaker until the last ballot was taken.
On the 46th ballot Wilson received 990 votes, Clark
84, and Harmon 12.
The result of the ballot had no sooner been announced
than Senator Stone of Missouri obtained recognition and
moved that the nomination of Governor Wilson be made
unanimous. The motion was carried without opposition.
Wilson was formally declared nominated and the conven
tion adjoured until 9 p. m.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
The Chautauqua management has
been fortunate in securing a most
capable and experienced instructor in
domestic science during the assembly.
Miss Sutherland was graduated from
the O. A. C. and was retained as an
instructor there for four years. Since
that time she has taken a degree from
Columbia University, N. Y. City, and
during her stay in N. Y. was employed
as instructor in Miss Helen Gould's
Lyndhnrt School for Girls. She was
also director of the Manor Church
School for two years, having four as
sistants under her. She was also ap
pointed city lecturer tor 1 he Peo
ple's University Society, to lecture in
social center work before clubs.
Her latest work has been in Grand
Forks, N. D., as director of domestic
science and art to install the work
and plan courses of study.
It is seldom the ladies of Albany
have the opportunity to receive in
struction from a person of such wide
experience and we urge them to give
Miss Sutherland a good class.
Class work from 9 to 10 a. m. Lec
ture from 4 to 5 p. m. each day. be
ginning Friday. For the entire course
50 cents will be charged to cover the
cost of materials.

SALISBURY PITCHED FINE
GAME AT PARK YESTERDAY
Contest Ended With Score of 12
to 1 Favor of Strong Local
Aggregation.
The ball game at this city yester
day afternoon between the fast Jef
ferson nine and the Albany Athletics
was one of the best games of the sea
son despite the tv.i that the :;aini
Hrally ended with the score of 12 to ;
in favor of the hove boys. Th - is
itors played a fine game but were un
able to score until the eighth inning
when they managed to send one of
ther men across the plate on an error
by Albany.
Morris, who did the twirling for the
visitors, pitched a splendid game and
was well supported by the remainder
of the team. Salisbury, who did the
heaving for Albany, was in fine trim
yesterday and his work in the box
was commendable, his excellent judg
ment and headwork pulling the Al
bany team, out of several tight places
during the game.
Monson and Bigbee were the star
sluggers for the local team yester
day, the former smashing a beauti
ful hit out to left field when the bags
were full, in the last of the eighth
inning, thus bringing in three runs.
He was followed a few minutes later
by Carson Bigbee, who repeated the
stunt of rapping out a three-bagger,
which brought in two more of the Al
bany boys. Bigbee scored a lew
minutes later, making the total num
ber of runs in the eighth inning for
Albany six.
Mickel played his best game this
season in left field yesterday, making
several difficult catches. Albany made
one run in the first inning, two in both
the second and fifth innings, one in the
sixth, and six in the eighth.
The game was umpired impartially
by Dave Patterson of this city, and a
commendable featureof the game was
the absence of the customary amount
Fully 30,000 Residents of the

Every lodge and civic organization,
and every church, school and Sun
day school, as well as every business
house should be represented in the pa
rade with an attractive float. Sub
stantial prizes have been offered for
all parade entries. This should be by
far the biggest and best pageant ever
seen in the Willamette Valley.
If you have never seen a hydro
aeroplane exhibition, if you want to
see the biggest and best parade ever
seen in the Willamette Valley, if you
enjoy first-class baseball, if you like
trap shooting, if you want to hear
good music and good speeches, in
short, if you want to enjoy the big
gest celebration ever held in the Wil
lamette Valley, come to Albany on
