Marshall Opposition Melted. There never was any doubt of Pres. ident Wilson's nomination but there was a possibility that some vice pres idental booms might be brought out in opposition to Vice President Mar ehell. They melted away, however, when the convention got in session, and as soon as President Wilson's nomination had been made a roaring tliotmb'of acclamation, Senator Kern, who renominated Mr. Marshall, cast aside a long preparled speech and simply declared: "I nominate Thomas Riley Marshall of Indiana for vice president." To President Wilson's nomination there was only one dissenting vote, Robert Emmett Burke of Illinois, who came to the convention announcing that he was opposed to the president. -s vote technically made the presi dent's nomination, 1,091 to 1.

'Tho delegates were attentive and quiet as Judge Wescott proceededd but the galleries were impatient. "Name him, name him," came cries fromn the galleries, and Judge Wee cott hurried his speech. As he closed at 10:49 with a men tion of the name of "Woodrow Wil son" the crowd broke into a great 4enzonstration. Moving picture flash. lights blased and flags were paraded in front of the stand.

ALL OTHER PROVISIONS MET WITH APPROVAL Governor Ferguson of Texas Led Minority Report on Suffrage Amend. ment.-Senator Stone After 30 Sleep. less Hours Asked Senators Walsh and Hollis to Read the Platform Which Was Adopted and the Con vention Adjourned. St. Louis.-The Democratic Nation. al Convention finished its work Friday by adopting the platftorm exacty as approved by President Wilson and sub mitted by the resolutions committee, includin gthe plank on Americanism and that favoring woman suffrage, but not until the harmony of its three days sessions had been disturbed with a row over the suffrage plank. No voice was raised against the vigorous declarations of the Amer canism plank, but at one time it look. ed as if the suffrage plank had been lost. And Senator Walsh of Mon. tana had told the convention that President Wilson himself considered it vi-tal to party success, however, it was voted into the platform by a bal lot of 888 1-2 to 181 1-2. The entire platform then was adopted without roll cal. Plank on Americanism. The plank on Americanism con demns -the actdvities of all persons, groups and organizatdons in the Uni ted States that conspire to advance the interests of a foreign power. Thorough preparedness on land and sea against unexpected invasion and -the joining of the United States with other nations to "assist the world in securing settled peace and Justice" are urged. On the Mexican question, the plat form asserts that American troops should remain in Mexico until - the restoration of -law and order there, and assents that intervention is "re volting" to -the people of the United States. Other planks declare for a mer chant marine, good roads, conserva tilon and improved conditions for the farmer. As it went into the platform the, suffrage plank stands: "We favor the extension of the tranchise to -the women of this coun try, etate by state, on thie same terms as to -the men." The woman suffrage leaders con sidered it a much more favorable dec laration 'than they got from the Re publican convcntion at Chicago; they threw all their force behind it and won the support of the administra tion leaders who were found fighting for them when danger threatened. Haggard and worn from an- all night session the Platform-makers were not ready with their report until in the afternoon when Senator Stone, sleepless for more than 30 hours, took The speaker's atanyl and explaining that he was 'too tired -to rcad the docu mont, gave over this task to Sena/tor Walsh, of Montana, and Senator Hol lis, of Now Hampshire, who took turns reading the long declaration. The fight on the suffrage plank was in the adr. Everybody was keyed up to it and when at the conclusion of the reading of 'the platform, Martin Lomasney, of Boston, a delegate, claimed the atstention of the chair, it was thought he was 'opening the fight. lIt was several minutes before the shou-ts of aproval and disapproval could be stilled sufficiently to hear t'hat lhe wanted to put 'the son on record as sympathizing "with the peo. ple of Ireland." "Rauis mit him," roared a Ba:lti more de~legate and the convention hal rocked with~ laughter. Gov. Ferguson Starts Fight. The real fight broke immediately af-ter, however, when Govlerior F'ergu son of Texas, who headed the minor i-ty report against the administration plank, was given 30 minutes in which to present it. The plank offered by the minority was: "The Democratic party always has stood for the sovereignty of the sev eral sta-tes in the control and ergula tron of elections. We reaffirm the historic position of our -party In this regardi and favor the continuance of that wise provdsiott of the 'Federall Constituition, which vests in the sev eral states in the control and regula to prescribe the quallificetions of their ejector,,. FHT OVER SI IE CONVENTO N TFORM IS LOUI 0 ~I SENATOR OLLIE JAMES Perhanent Chairman of the Nation. al Democratic Convention. James R. Nugent, of New Jersey, and SteOPhen B. Fleming, of Fort Wayne, Ind. The burden of Governor Ferguson's argument was that suffrage being -purely a states right question, the wording of -the majority plank was a presumptuous recommendation to the stat'es on how to conduct their elec torates. Anti-suffrage delegates on the floor pliied the governor with questions which brought out in the answers fresh arguments against the adminis tration plank. When Ferguson had finished the convention was in confu sion and the .tone of the uproar in the delegate sections was indicative of sympathy with the opponents of the administration plank. Stone Defends Plank. When Senator Stone took the speaker's place to defend the plank he was bombarded with questions and argument from delegates on the floor which eventually exhausted most of the time allotted to him. Anti-suffrage delegates loudly chal lenged his references to Governor Ferguson's statements with cries of "that's not what he said" and "that's not fair." Many delegates openly took the position that the ques'ton was becoming much confused by the manner of its presentation. Finally, Senator Stone yielded to Senator Pitit. man of Nevada, one of the suffrage chamnpions. The crowd wanted to howl Pittman: down and cried "vote, vote." "Yes, I know you want to vote,"| Pittmn ahouted at his opponents, "you'd rather do anyth'ing else than| hear the truth. Are you men who are willing to hear women denounced and afraid to hear a man say some thing in their behalf ? I want to ap peall to you to give your sisters and daughters and mothers the right to vote." "What's that got to do with this?" chorused the delegates. Finally, ignoring lesser outbreaks and shouting above the din and con fusion, Pittman managed 'to got through with his speech. "Essential for Victory." In an impassioned speech Senator Walsh swept aside the smaller ques tions which had been injected into the fight and told the delegates that President Wilson himself knew that the plank was in the platform and considered it essential for party vic tory. "Whatever your opinions may be," he said, "we shall never be anything but a discordant and divided party unless we surrender some of our con victions to the wisdom of a majority. Here fou are confronted, as one of our famous leaders said, 'with a con dition, not a theory.' The twelve sur-. frago states represent 91 votes in the electorial college. Ever-y political party has made this dleclaration in some form .or other. It becomes a sim ple question of whether you will incur the enmity of these women. There is no possibility of losing a single vote if you adopt this majority plank, be cause every other party has done the same. "I ask you," he cried, "if you're going to put a resolution in here that's a lie, You can't adopt this minority report without stultifying yourselves." Senator Walsh then explained that the President knew about the suf-. frage plank and added: "He believes' it vital to his success that it stay there. I ask you with all the fervor of my being who is there here who is wiser or more pa triotic than he?" Plaht Won as Storm Rages, While the fight had been groing on, a thutider storm burst atid when .the 'i row An the Oogvention floor was at' its) Noihtfhe tonrached its climax JFFRAGE ADJOURNS ILY APPLAUDED with the roaring shout' ci the I1o.; hnd the clatter ctiueo I by tl1. r.hiq o 'he roof almost drow' n(d o ipeakers. The sorm claaed just a. senator Walsh finished speaking and he closing words of his plea for the Administration plank swept a change )f sentiment over the crowd as wel 3ome to the suffragistil as the wave of 3001 refreshing air that pou.red down nto the Coliseum. There were renewed cries of "vote rote," but they were not shouts for he defeat of the plank. As the clerks alled the roll of states the votes top led into the column supporting the plank as the committee had written .t so fast that the defeat of the sub stitute was assured before the call iad gone a dozen states. North Carolina cast 11 votes for the ninority report, and 13 against . It; south Carolina 18 against it and Vir inia 24 against it. At the close of the roll call the whole platform, as written, was tdopted and after disposing of some 'ormalities, the convention adjourned ine die at 3:11 o'clock. Reed "Kills" Time. When the convention had opened 5aturday shortly after 11 o'clock, Jhairman James called for the report )f the platform committee, but it was iot ready, and the convention settled [own to wait. At 11:43 Chairman James announo id that the platform report would be nade in a few minutes. In response ,o a request from delegates to fix the ime and place for notification of Pres dent Wilson and Vice President Mar. hall of their renomination, Chairman rames explained that it was the plan o confer first with the candidates. Senator Reed of Missouri then made L speech to fill in the time. The bur len of Reed's speech was an attack )n the nomination of Mr. Hughes iecause he was taken from the su ireme Court bench. He read a state nent which he attributed to Mr. lughes in 1912, which declared ,gainst a Supreme Court justice en ering politics. "Against candidate Hughes in 1916 quote Justice Hughes in 1912." he leclared as he read the statement. While Senator Reed was speaking senator Stone, chairman, and Senators Walsh and Hollis, memuers of the platform committee, entered the hall. Platform Presented. At 12:26 p. m.
