Things began to move Wilson's way on tbs first ballot of the day, the ‘orty-third roll call of the convention, when Illinois swung its 58 votes to ‘be New Jersey man and started the flood that swept the governor on to victory. •Seeing that the long-hoped-for break was coming, the names of other j-rits incut candidates were quickly »- hdrawn and all obstacles In the path of victory for Wiiscn were re moved. W B. Bankhead spoke for Underwood He said that at the re quest of Mr. Underwood he withdrew ais name from further consideration, heaving his delegates free to vote for whom they chose This statement was greeted by a wild cheer from tbs Wilson men. When Senator Bankhead finished Senator Stone of Missouri went to the platform and asked for unanimous consent to be allowed to make a statement. "Speaking for Speaker Clark," said I Senator Stone, "I will release—if re- i lease be necessary—any delegation instructed for him. I would not have j a single delegation stay with him for j a single roll call under any sense of t obligation to him. “I need not tell this convention or ! the friends of Champ Clark that he j will stand by the nominee of this con vention loyally to the end." Marks End of Fight. When Senator Stone finished Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston mounted the I platform. He withdrew the name of Governor Foss cf Massachusetts anil j announced that the Massachusetts I delegation would vote for Wilson. Uproar greeted this announcement, j for the nomination of Wilson had be come a practical certainty. Representative Fitzgerald, who had 1 just finished a conference with | Charles F. Murphy, took the stage. This marked the end of the opposi tion to Wilson as an organized body, j "We want to leave this hall a uni- j j ted Democracy, with victory in No- j i vember assured." i In conclusion he said: “I move j that the roll call be dispensed with ! and that the convention proceed bv ! acclamation to nominate that distin- ! ; gu'shed Democrat of New Jersey. Gov. ! ! Woodrow Wilson.” Reed Objects to Acclamation. Senator Reed of Missouri Inter posed objection to New York’s request j I for unanimous consent to make Wil j ■-on's nomination by acclamation and j the forty-sixth ballot Was ordered, i : State after state fell into line for Wil- I I son. assuring his nomination by ac ! overwhelming majority. Missouri received a tribute when it j cast Its thirty-six votes for Clark and went down with its cause. Nevada stood firm with its six for Clark. New Jersey. Wilson's home state, was heartily hissed when it divided I Its twenty-eight votes, giving Clark j j four. The result of the forty-sixth ballot was: Wilson. 990; Clark. S4. Ohio gave Harmon twelve votes on this ballot. Anticipation of a sudden finish to 1 the battle of twelve sessions brought I the crowd early to the convention hall. Only a scattering of empty seats in the topmost part of the gallery were unoccupied when Chairman Ollie 'ames rapped for order. It was a weary and quiet crowd. Only the hum jof conversation disturbed the quiet of the big hall. Even enthusi.'ism to HOW RYAN GAINED HIS SEAT by Henry St. George Tucker. The - machine was for Clark.

A scattering of nervous hand clap ping flittered across the hall when Illinois was called. In the center aisles at the front of the delegation stood Roger C. Sullivan, chairman of the delegation. Silence so deep that the Immense crowd seemed to have stopped breathing fell over the hall. He announced that under the unit rule Illinois gave its 58 votes for Wilson. The applause started again. It was far more feble than the outburst which such a gain to the Wilson ranks would have evoked last week. The weary delegates had lost enthusiasm. A scattering of feeble “ahs" was all that greeted the steady rise of the Wilson vote through the ballot Iowa followed with a gain of 1^4 to the Wilson vote. It fell on a sea of si lence. Louisiana added two more to the Wilson total. stampede Appears Near. New York received respectful at tention. It was the same monotonous “New York casts ninety votes for Clark." The crowd laughed. North Carolina added two to the band wagon passengers. Then came Vir ginia. It oast its solid twenty-four votes for Wilson. A gain of fourteen and one-haff was the result. The crowd broke loose. It seemed the stampede was on. Delegates Jumped to their chairs, waving hats, hand kerchiefs or whatever came handy. 1 The galleries applauded decorously. In a minute it was all over. West Virginia, a coyple of minutes later, plumped her entire 16 for Wll- j eon. It meant a loss of that many I from the Clark column. It was ac cepted cheerfully. Wisconsin added one, Alaska did as well. The total was announced: Wilson 602; Clark. 306; Harmon. 25; Under wood. 97. I Wilson Gains on Next. Before the applause had died out i the forty-fourth ballot had started. Arizona added one more to the j Wilson total. Colorado jumped It nine | higher and was rewarded with loud I cheers. Illinois stood solid and before the : hand clapping of approbation had died Indiana cast Us solid thirty, a ; gain of two for Wilson. Iowa followed ( by increasing Its vote for him by ; three and one-half. Louisiana added j one more. Maryland added one and ; one-half for Wilson. New York again gave Its ninety \ votes to Clark. Ohio switched one vote from Har- ! mon to Wilson without comment, i Pennsylvania went solid with Its sev- i enty-six for Wilson, a gain of two more. Tennessee added one, but nobody 1 noticed it sufficiently to applaud. Utah gave him its entire eight, making a gain of one and one-half votes. Wisconsin gave its entire twenty six. a gain of four for Wilson. When Mississippi was called, the ! last on the list, the convention held its breath. Twice the clerk shouted for it. The state gave Its twenty votes to Underwood, as usual. The forty-fourth ballot: Wilson. { 629: Clark, 306; Harmon. 27; Under-1 wood. 99. Forty-Fifth Ballot Started. The forty-fifth ballot started imme- ■ diately. Wilson made no gains up to New ! Mexico, which state was polled, voting | four for Wilson and four for Clark. ; and under the unit rule Clark held its eight votes. New York stood fast for Clark and lessened the possibility of a nomina-! tion on this ballot. When Ohio was reached Wilson gained two. taking them from Har mon. Tennessee took another from Clark and gave it to Wilson. Alaska added one. giving its entire six to Wilson. The ballot resulted: Wilson. 633: Clark. 306; Harmon. 25; Underwood. 97. Wilson's victory seemed assured and the other candidates were with MRS. TAFT AT DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION _♦ \ I-1 ONE of the novel features of the Democratic convention was the presence of Mrs. Taft during one session. In our illustration she is seen in the center, with Mrs. Norman E. Mack on the left and Mrs. Hugh Wallace, wife of a delegate from the state of Washington and a daughter of the late Chief Justice Fuller, on the right. amazement of the progressives they proposed that all fighting in the con vention should cease. A conference of the leaders on both sides was held and the Flood men proposed to Tuck er and his followers that they should name a delegate, and that the two se lected In this manner should be elected unanimously by the entire conven tion. In this conference the Flood men were careful to refrain from men tioning who their man would be. The proposition was accepted by the progressives. The Tucker men named one of their own number, who has voted through out the Baltimore convention for every progressive proposition and will vote for Wilson. The leaders on the other side, the machine men. announced their selection as "Mr. Ryan." The convention was not even in formed as to whom the “Mr. Ryan" meant. The delegates, as a matter of fact, suspected that they were voting for Thomas S. Ryan, son of the Wall ‘•‘•eet manipulator. How "Billy" Skidmore Sees It.

Memorable Convention. The Democratic convention of 1912 will go down in history as being the most remarkable held by the party in the last fifty years. It was more fruitful of sensation and excitement . than any political gathering ever held within the memory of the oldest dele gate. It took seven days and thir teen sessions of the hardest and most strenuous fighting to pick the stand ard bearer who is to lead the narty in the coming campaign. Forty-six times was the roll of states called before a decision was reached. The first ballot was taken early Fri day morning after an all night session devoted to oratory on the part of the champions of the different candidates. In which they set forth the reasons why their particular man was the man of all men to lead the party's battle for votes in November. Starting the Balloting. The first ballot resulted: Clark, 440%; Wilson, 324; Harmon. 14S; Un derwood, 117; Marshall. 31; Baldwin. 22; Bryan. 1. At the session Friday afternoon four ballots were taken, the net result of which showed slight gains for both Clark and Wilson. Friday night seven ballots were I taken. Clark started out with 445 His strength fluctuated during the | night, but he wound up with an in-! crease of four votes. His highest j vote of the convention was reached on the tenth ballot when he got 556 votes. Wilson started with 354 and ! that was his figures at closing time. Eight ballots were taken Saturday afternoon with Clark's strength grad ually dwindling and Wilson's gaining. The six ballots of Saturday evening 1 ended with Clark's vote down to 463% and Wilson’s up to 407%. Eight ballots were taken Monday afternoon. Wilson's gains increasing steadily, while his chief opponent con tinued to drop. Monday night brought the total of ballots up to 42. with the deadlock stilt tight. The forty-second ballot gave Wilson 494 and Champ Clark 430. The ratio of Increase and de crease in each case being gradual. Full of Excitement. In the matter of noise-making and tumultuous demonstrations the con vention equaled, If It did not actually" surpass, any political convention In history. William Jennings Bryan was the storm center of most of the exciting incidents. The first of these was when he made his bitter fight against the election of judge Parker as tem porary chairman and lost out Thursday night Colonel Bryan threw a bomb into the convention and start ed the biggest uproar that had broken loose up to that time when he intro duced a resolution declaring Morgan. Belmont and Ryan enemies of the party, and placing the convention squarely on record against the nom ination of any person who was in any way connected with these men or their interests or in any way under their influence. Bryan made a re markably fervid speech, denouncing the predatory interests and Morgan, Belmont and Ryan in particular. The resolution was carried by a vote of 899 to ISO. Bryan at It Again. Saturday Bryan again threw the convention into disorder when, in changing his vote from Clark to Wil son. he made an attack cn Murphy of New York and again roasted the so called 'Ryan-Morgan-Belmont crowd." He declared emphatically that he would support no candidate who owed I his nomination to the vote of the New York delegation. John B. Stanchfield, a New York delegate, got the floor Monday and j made a sensational attack on Bryan. ; whom he denounced as a political marplot who was attempting to dead- i lock the convention in the hope of getting the nomination himself. Monday night the Missouri delega- | tion precipitated a riot when they j flaunted in Bryan's face a banner in- ' scribed with a quotation from a speech made by the Nebraskan in 1910 in which he spoke in laudatory terms of Champ Clark. Livid with ! rage Bryan mounted the platform to'i make reply, but was ruled out of or der by the chairman. SUMMARY OF ROLL CALLS i Under Ballot— Clark.Wilson.

IN BATHTUB AT THE TIME Declares Delegates Were Voting for a Principle, Not a Man—Appreciates Honor'and Hopes Party Will Not Regret It. Seagirt, N. J.—Governor Wilson, the Democratic nominee for president, was the calmest man in this summer cap ital when the news • of his selection was received. The executive mansion was a storm center of political en thusiasm, but the executive himself was as tranquil as a summer day. When the news of the breaking of the long deadlock was received over the wire from the Baltimore conven tion hall the governor permitted him self an expansive grin of delight and shook hands all around. Then he set tled down to work, but soon the Inrush of his friends put a stop to that and an impromptu reception followed. Illinois Flop Gives Delight. If the governor managed to conceal his pleasure over his victory in the convention, his family did not; indeed, they did not try, and his three daugh ters danced about the house in a whirl of happiness. The first important news from the convention hall, the switch of Illinois to the Wilson ranks, was carried to the executive mansion by three breathless reporters shouting: “Gov ernor, governor. Illinois has gone to you!" At the moment the governor was in the bath tub and the only immediate reply was the sound of vigorous splashing. A moment later through the door came the assurance that Mr. Wil son was “perfectly delighted.” Says Principle, Not Man, Wins, After the governor had finished his ] bath he came out to the newspaper ; tent on the lawn. “It has occurred to me.” he said, ad- : dressing the reporters, “that you may | have wondered why I have not shown j more emotion during the convention i proceedings, that some of you must have thought I felt so .cocksure of the result that I took the details as a mat ter of fact “Nothing could be further from the truth. My emotion is so deep that it could not effervesce: and I felt more solemn as the nomination drew closer. 1 feel that the delegates at Baltimore In voting for me voted not for a man. but a principle. I feel that they be lieved I represent them and not my self. Gnder a responsibility so grave I could not find it in my heart to kick up my heels in elation.” At this moment the goyernor's sec retary announced the forty-third bal MX. "Six hundred and two votes lor you, governor,” he said. “It looks like business," the govern- ( or answered. Then he said: “Have you told Mrs. Wilson?” “No, sir, I came first to you.” “Please tell her at once,” he replied. Hears of Underwood's Withdrawal. Governor Wilson was posing for a j photograph with his wife and daugh- ; ters when he was informed that Un derwood had withdrawn. “Well. I declare.” said the governor. ‘That will give me enough; they all go to me.” Mrs. Wilson, whose native state is ; Georgia, said: “The only thing I regret is that Georgia did not vote for Mr. Wilson.” When Governor Wilson received news of his nomination he said: “The honor is as great as can come to any man by the nomination of a party, especially under the circum stances. I hope I appreciate it at its true value; but just at this moment I feel the tremendous responsibility it involves even more than I feel the honor. “I hope with all my heart that the ■>arty will never have reason to regret it” PASTOR IS SENT TO PRISON - | Given Light Sentence After Conviction For Causing Girl’s Death.

WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES Generous Act of Street Waif That Gained Him a Friend in Great Novelist. Charles Dickens, the creator of many delightful child characters, earned a million dollars during his lifetime with his pen, but often walk ed the streets erf London in search of material for his books without a pen ny in his pocket. One evening while doing this he was accosted by a small boy who asked him for a penny. Dickens searched his pockets, but they were empty, and so he told the boy. who was shivering in the cold. “Poor man!” exclaimed the little fellow, “we’il go hunks together!” Dickens stood back in the shadow of the street to see what the outcome would be. The lad continued to t*g. and finally gained two pennies He came dancing to Dickens with a Jolly ring in his voice. “Now,” he said, “we'll have two hoi buns apiece!” Such a generous spirit under such trying circumstances struck Dickens so forcibly that he took the lad home with him, and there he was fed and clothed, and started on the road to a better life.
