W00DR0W WILSON IS THE NOMINEE New Jersey's Governor Named by Dem ocrats at Baltimore 46th BALLOT TELLS THE TALE We couldn't conceal our feelings if me would, and we wouldn't if we could. Hurrah for Wopdrow Wilson, progressive democratic candidate for president of the United Stiles! Breaking one of the most prolonged deadlocks ever known in a national political convention, Woodrow Wilson, governor of New Jersey, Tuesday afternoon was nominated for the presidency ! u by the democratic national convention at Baltimore. The nomi nation was made on the forty-sixth ballot. He received IHH) out of a total of 1.0H8 votes. Clark received 4 and Harmon 12 on tin last ballot. Later the nomination was made unanimous on motion of Senator Stone of Missouri. The deadlock that has prevailed for nearly a week was broken when the name of Oscar W. Underwood was withdrawn by Senator Bankhead of Alabama. The nomination of Governor Wilson came after an intensely exciting period during which the delegates pledged to Cham) Clark, Governor Foss and Governor Harmon, as well as those to Representative Underwood had been formally released. THOMAS R. MARSHALL FOR VICE PRESIDENT At a little before two o'clock Wednesday morning, Governor Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana was nominated for vice president. Only three ballots were taken. Others whoHe names were pre sented to the convention for the vice presidential nomination were Governor Burke of North Dakota, Elmore W. Hurst of Illinois, Martin J. Wade of Iowa, James H. Preston of Maryland and Champ Clark. The name of Clark was withdrawn before the balloting began. Governor Marshall is an able man, and without doubt will make a strong running mate for Governor Wilson. W. J. Bryan predicts that the ticket will be elected by two million majority of the popular vote, and it looks to us like a good gties-. "We Need You There.

Garrison Expires from Effects of Former Injury BURIAL MAY BE AT LINCOLN Great excitement waa caused in Alliance Tuesday evening by the re port thht a mail had been drowned In Judge Berry's swimming pool in the east part of town. Glen VV. Gar rison died while bathing, but Invest! gation proved beyond a doubt that he was not drowned. We get the following farts from his brother, Dallas Garrison, the plumber, with whom he had been boardlnit at the residence of -I. C. Schafer: Glen was twenty years of age. Some five or six years ago he had his skull fractured in playing shinney, another boy striking him over the head with a stick. Appar ently the injury healed. About two years ago he enlisted In the IT. 8. marine corps He was then residing in Colorado. Upon gcing to a lower altitude he became ill. An X-ray ex amination showed that he was suf fering from the old Injury to his skull, and whs told that an opera tion would be necessary to reKove him from the effects of it Not wishing to submit to an operation in the climate where then located he was given a medi-al discharge After reiuraing to his home h was .examined and told by the physi iap that on account of his youth h" might possibly outgrow the injury, j but there was a probability that it wo"M cause his instant death. About a week ago he leased the swimming pool of Judg Berry, and haV 'harge of it at the time of his death Mis father, who lives at Deer Trail, Colo, is expected here this Th-ir.Miav i morning Funeral ar rangetnents will not b i-ompleted until after he arrives.

TRAGICAL END OF SAD LIFE Despondent Woman Ends Life Last Sunday Last Sunday evening people of Al llance were horrified to learn that Mrs. Helen Kidgell had taken her own life by shooting at the home of her sister, Mrs. Robert K. ICvans, 824 Big Horn avenue. It was so clearly a case of suicide that no in quest was considered necessary. Mrs. Rldgell was the daughter of Henry Brolch of Berwyn, Nebr., well known and esteemed in Alli ance, having formerly resided here. She was brought up In th- Catholic faith, but for some reasons was not entitled to the rights of the church at the time of her drab. Th? fun- ral service was conducted by Rev. Olln 8. Baker, pastor of the Meth- iis' Kpiscopal church, at the First Presbyterian chur h, yesterday after noon, and was attended by a large number of sympathetic rriends. Mrs. Rldgell was beset with more trouble than commonly falls to the lot of one woman. While deploring her rash art, many will drop a sym pathetic tear and pity her for the Ills of the past. Kspecially will they unite their sympathies for th? berea? ed relatives In the sudden and aw ful grief that has come to them Wm. Sulzbach of Marple was In Alliance on business yesterday and ' favored The Herald office with a 'call. ' -4--M-M--;------' -K A. J. KENNEDY DENTIST lOthc m Alliance National Hank Hlk Over Tostoflice.
