Governor Woodrow Wilson was elated today at the action of the democratic national convention last night on the un.t rule." "I have always maintained," he said. "that where delegates are instructed by district in a primary election they should vote accordingly, and not be bound by the unit rule. For instance, here in New Jer sey we have twenty-four of the twenty eight delegates an overwhelms major ityyet we have never dreamed of en focing the unit rule. The action of the convention shows that it !s a progressive gathering. I believe it was taken without regard to any man's candidacy. ' The governor nail he was much grati fied by the demjast-ation given him in the convention last nitht, but regarded it more as a dem-mst -ati'in "for prognt- siveness" than as a personal triumph "While It was called a Wilson demonstra Hon," he added, -"I am inclin! to think It was a case A. oemunst.-alio:i for prin ciple rather than to,' u candidate."

"Forty-three per cent of the population of the United States lives in cities and 12 per cent live in Chicago, New York and Philadelphia. Army sta tistics tend to show that men coming from the great cities are not so rubust as those from the country. There is no reason for this if the cities are planned properly."

OLLIE JAMESJN THE CHAIR Kentuckian Calls Demo Convention to Order and Delivers Address. WATCHES DAWN OF NEW DAY Sees Great Things in Store for he Tarty if Promises to Be Made Are Kept and a Square ; Ileal Given. BALTIMORE, June 27. As permanent chairman of the democratic oonvention, Ollie James of Kentucky was greeted with applause as he picked up the gavel and rapped for order. As soon as the cheering had ceased and quiet restored among the delegates and in the galleries. Chairman James spoke as follows: "I am deeply grateful to this great con vention of patriotic American democrats for the high honor you . have bentowed upon me in calling upon me to preside over your deliberations while you select the next president of this republic. "I congratulate the democrats of the nation. Here no charge of bribery hover, no cry of thief and robber Is hurled by one fellow democrat at another; no sol dleru stand in reserve to keep us from each other's throats. "Our deliberations here Bhall be for tho country's good, tolerant of each oth er'a views, believing, as I do, that when the nominees are named by this conven tion they will have back of thein every loyal democrat in the republic, as well as the hearty support of progressives, everywhere. "The democratic party is essentially a party of the people because It Is the people. It has fought a long, hard battle, when it seemed that the night would never end and that the day would never dawn, but the battle In the Interest of the rights of the people they have con tinued to see the common enemy, the once great republican party, divided, dis tracted and torn asunder,, while democ racy is united, harmonious and militant Tno Reeorili Prevented. "There are two records that will be presented to the American people in the coming campaign for their consideration. One is the record of the republican party with promises betrayed arrogantly, de fiantly betrayed, and the other is the record of the democratic party of prom ises faithfully and honestly kept. The republican party, Itself, recognised that President Taft , had been unfaithful to the great mass of Americans, and it was only by the most wholesale con sciousness and deliberate unseating of j delegates honestly elected that wag ever perpetrated in American politics' that he was nominated. The republican party flushed with many victories, imperious as a tyrant, unheeding the demands of the people, took the reins of the govern ment in 1908 under the solemn promise i that it would revise the tariff In the interest of the consumer. Instead of keeping this promise, as It should have done, because It was their bond of honor, it betrayed it. "The republicans raised the tariff higher than ever until it reached its maximum of protection, being 47 per cent. The story of the base betrayal is known to all men.
