WILSON THE WINNER' ? NOMINATED BY THE DEMOCRATS FOR PRESIDENT Will SURELY BEAT TAFT After Many Ballots Had Been Taken the New Jersey Governor Was Nominated on the Forty-Sixth Ballot, With .Governor Marshall of InV rii/uia as His Hunning Mate. Woodrow Wilson, doyernor of New Jersey, is the standard bearer of the national Democracy. On the 4 6th Fallot Tuesday afternoon the extraordinary deadlock in the democratic national convention was broken after Underwood and Foss had withdrawn and the Clark delegates had been released. The nomination was achieved amid n /...UiKalnom TllO 8CCI1GS OL iniiliiii?, ciitiiuoiuDiin * iiw delegates and thousands of spectators rose on masse and cheered vociferously so prodigious a volume of noise never before having been heard in any Amercian convention. When the convention was called to erder soon after noon it was quickly evident that the man from New Jersey would reach the goal of his ambition. One break followed another. New York stood nobly by Clark until ft was absolutely certain that the Speaker's chances had disappeared. At 3:133 Senator Stone moved that Wilson's nomination be made unanimous and this motion being carried amid scenes of stirring enthusiasm. The following are the ballots taken on Tuesday, the nomination resulting on the forty-sixth: Forty-third: Wilson G02, Clark 329, Underwood 9 8, Ilarmon 2 8, Foss 2 7, Kern 1. Forty-fourth: Wilson 629, Clark .306, Underwood 99, Harmon 27, Foss 27, Forty-fifth: Wilson 633, Clark 306 Underwood 9 7, Harmon 2 5, Foas 27, Forty-sixth: Wilson 9 90, Clark 8 4, Harmon 12. The nomination was made at 3:15 p. m. on the forty-sixth ballot after Underwood and Foss had been withdrawn, Clark had released his supporters and New York as a climax, had moved to suspend the balloting and make the nomination of Wilson by acclamation. There was objection to this plan. Ar the final roll came on State after State fell into line for the New Jersey executive, piling up an overwhelming majority. The result was received with tumultuous demonstrations by delegates and spectators. Bryan was a center of interest as Wilson's nomination became certain. Ho said he had wanted most of all the nomination of a progressive. Great confusion interrupted the roll call. Bell, of California, attempted to explain California's vote and was howled down. The convention was eager to hear the announcement of Wilson's nomination, which had then become apparent. liankhead said Underwood had entered the contest hoping to be the nominee, but that his chief desire was to eradicate every vestige of sectional feeling. He would not be a ,i>arty to the defeat of any candidate. "But I think the timo has come to recognize that he can not be nominated in this convention, nor can he be used to defeat any other candidate." "Vice President?" inquired a del egate from the floor. "No," shouted back Bankhead; "we will not turn from the important duties he Is performing to such an oftiso as Vice President." Underwood would remain whore lie was, doing all his constructive work Bankhead said. He continued and expressed the lioive that no one would further urge the Alabama candidate Vxor Vice President. "Mr. Underwood directs mo to with drU^ his name from this convention," said Bankhead amid improssive silence, adding & tribute of thanks from Underwood for the sincere and loyal support given him. lie added that all bis friends wore now to vote for whom they pleased. ? Marshall Vice-President. The Democratic convention became a love feast Tuesday night as it worked to select a running mate for Gnvernor Woodrow Wilson. The intense bitterness of the past week seemed to have disappeared. When the Convention suspended the regular order of business?the nomination of a vice-presidential candidate ?-shortly before eleven o'clock to make way for the reading and adoption of the platforms, six candidates for the vice presidency had been put In nomination. They were: Governor Burke, of North Dakota; Governor Marshall of Indiana;Elmore W. Hurst, of Illinois; Martin J. Wado, of ' Iowa; James II. Preston of Maryland; and Speaker Champ Clark, oi (Missouri. Clark was not a candidate, Marshall was selected as Wilson'e running mate. I ? ? ? A. true bargain is that which bene fits all parties to the transaction. The bargain that benefits but one party in dlcates selfishness and Injustice. PREDICTS GREAT VICTORY MANY THINK WILSON WILL WIN IN THE ELECTION. ? Bryan Predicts a Great Victory and Declares that Wilson Will Sweep the Country. William J. Bryan, in a statmont Tuesday night, said tho nomination of Woodrow Wilson ou o progressive platform meant an overwhelming victory for tho Democratic ticket next fall. "I feel sure that tho action of tho Convention thus far will appeal to the country," said Mr. Bryan. "I (had 110 choice among progresslvo candidates, but from the first I included Governor Wilson In every list I had occasion to inako. His action in cornling out strongly against Mr. Parker for temporary chairman was tho turning point in his campaign. "I am satisiied that with Mr. Wilson running for President on the platform which has been prepared thorn will ho comparatively few pro gressive Republicans who will not feel justified in supporting the Democratic ticket. If I were to make an estimate I would say that we ought to have not less than two million ma-' Jority ot' the popular vote and enough of the electoral vote to give us an overwhelming majority in the Electoral college. "it is fortunate that Mr. Wilson's nomination was made without the aid o' Mr. Murphy. It is no reflection upon tho many good men in the New York delegation. From evory standpoint the outlook is hopeful. The dawn is hero and progressive Democracy will be the people's pillar of cloud by day." Among those who came out in statements pledging support to the Democratic ticket were Charlos F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall; William R. Hearst, August Belmont, Senator Stone, of Missouri, who was one of the principle leaders of the Clark campaign for tho Presidential nomination, and former Senator Dubois who was an active manager of the Clark campaign. "Governor Wilson is an able man and great Democrat," declared Mr. Murphy. "He will have tho enthusiastic and loyal support of tho Democracy of New York. I am confident ho will bo elected President." William R. Hearst, whp has been one of the principle promoters of Clark's candidacy said Tuesday night "We have made a good fight and lost. I will support the ticket nominated and expect to see it win. I Intend to die game in this fight. I am now for Wilson." COTTON CROP REPORT. ? South Carolina Crop Shows Improvement of Four Points.

(Juoriini Not Present. Because of the lack of a voting quorum, the Senate adjourned Tues-j day night without taking a voto on j the chemical tariff revision bill.

A night session wav held in hopo enough senators would return from Baltimore to make a voting quorum. Army Appropriation Pass. The House Tuesday at Washington again passed the army appropriation bill in the same form as last February before the senate amendments brought it under the veto of President Taft. The amendments affecting the general staff of the army, one of which would have legislated its chief, (Major General Leonard Wood, out. of the otllce and the provision for a commission to decide upon the number and location of army posts were left out. i Ohio Man Weds Son's Widow. John C. Balrd, sixty-threo years old, of Zanzesville, O., Is now the hi sband of the widow of his own son, Mrs. Mary II. Balrd, agbd thirty-six. The laws of Ohio do not prohibit such a marriage and Baird says: ' "Wo can see no harm in it. I al< I ways liked my son's wifo and sinc< his death tho affection has ripened 1 into love." I ? + ?
