Mov# Wilson's Way.
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

A scattering of nervous hand clap

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

New York received respectful at

“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

Before the applause had died out 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.

Wilson made no gains up to New !

four for Wilson and four for Clark. ;
and under the unit rule Clark held its

New York stood fast for Clark and
lessened the possibility of a nomina-!
tion on this ballot.
When Ohio was reached Wilson

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

At the door of one of the commit

sometimes known as “Billy.” chief of

genial scnl of the sort that inrites
mob violence on a hot day approached
with greetings: “Hot enough for
you?" he asked.

kindly restraining himself, “after this

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.

NEWS OF VICTORY
New Jersey Governor Grins When
Word of Breaking of Dead
lock Is Received.
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”

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.
