DEMOCRATS AGAIN
NOMINATE WILSON
resident and Vioe President Are
Named by Acclamation Just Be
fore Midnight
PLATTOBM IS NOT REPOETED
: Coliseum, St. Louis, June 16.
President Wilson and Vice Presi
dent Marshall were nominated by ac
clamation last night by the deocratic
national convention; the ticket being
. completed four minutes before Fri-
&ntrary to expectations, however,
the convention did not finish its work
because the platform was not ready
and it will meet again at 11 o'clock
Friday morning.
There never was any doubt of Presi
dent Wilson s nomination tonight but
there was a possibility that some vice
'presidential nomination booms might
De orougnc out in opposition to v ice
President Marshall.
Throws Speech Away.
They melted away however, when
the convention got in session and as
coon as President Wilson's nomina
tion had been made by a roaring
chorus of acclamation, Senator Kern,
who renominated Mr. Marshall, cast
aside a long prepared speech and sim
ply declared:
"I nominate Thomas Riley Mar
shall of Indiana for vice president"
To President Wilson's nomination
there was only one dissenting vote,
Robert Emmet Burke of Illinois,
who came to the convention announc
ing that he was opposed to the presi
dent His vote technically made the
president's nomination 1,091 to 1.
The democratic convention recon
vened shortly after 9 o'clock tonight
with the announced purpose of re
maining in continuous session until it
had renominated President Wilson
and Vice President Marshall, adopted
a platform and transacted all other
business that brought representatives
of the party to St Louis.
All the vice presidential booms ex
cept that of Governor Major of Mis
souri had been effectively killed ott
by President Wilson's announcement
that he desired the renomination of
Mr. Marshall and he only remained
to receive the complementary vote
of Missouri. There apparently was
no doubt that he would be with
drawn after a complimentary ballot
had been cast and that the renomina
tion of Wilson and Marshall would
be made unanimous.
When the gavel fell calling tonight's
session to order John W. Wescott of
New Jersey, who nominated President
Wilson at the Baltimore convention,
was ready on the floor to deliver the
speech of re-nomination; Senator
Kern of Indiana to re-nominate Vice
President Marshall, John H. Atwood
of Missouri to deliver the speech nom
inating Governor Major for the vice
presidency.
Morehead Withdraws. ,
William B. Price of Lincoln, Neb.,
was to have nominated' Governor
Morehead of Nebraska, but while the
convention was assembling, however,
it became known that the Nebraska
delegation planned to withdraw the
vice presidential, candidacy of Gov
ernor Morehead. The delegation ex
plained that the president had not
asked the re-nomination of Vice Pres
ident Marshall when they brought out
their governor's candidacy.
Governor Major of Missouri said
the withdrawal of Governor More
head would not change his plans to
have his name presented.
Before the convention was called
to order the coliseum was so full that
the fire department took charge of the
entrances and permitted no more to
come in. William J. Bryan, however
managed to get by, and got his usual
uproarious reception as he took his
seat Senator James Learned saw the
Nebraskan's plight and rescued him.
Raps for Order.
At 9:15 o'clock Chairman James
rapped the convention to order.
The crowd yielded to the happing

of the gavel long enough to hear the
prayer and then renewed its demands
for a speech from Bryan. Chairman
James admonished the galleries.
Senator Thompson then moved a
suspension of the rule to permit Mr.
Bryan to speak. When the motion
was put there were some "noes," but
the chairman ruled two-thirds had
voted favorably.
A committee headed by Senator
Kern of Indiana escorted Mr. Bryan
to the speaker's place, while the floor
and galleries roared their approval.
Senator James introduced Mr. Bry
an as "one of the leading citizens of
the world, . and America's greatest
democrat"
Then the roll of states was called
for nominations. Alabama yielded to
New Jersey and Judge John W.
wescott nominated president Wil
son. Judge Wescott spoke very
s'owly and with g eat deliberation.
Applause was given t- Judge Wes
cott s remarks on the policy toward
Mexico. Ihe crowd was attentive
and quiet. It voiced approval of
America's maintenance of interna
tional law. Some of the crowd, how
ever, were eager for th- nomination.
"Name Him," They Cry.
"Nan.e him I Name himl" came
cries from the galleries.
Judge Wescott hurried a little and
concluded his speech re-nominating
President Wilson at 1U.-4V.
As the president's sponsor proceed
ed the murmur ot those talking and
wh'spering grew until, in son e parts
t the Uiimtes siectati s audibly
tcmanded Letter or ier. T 'e heat had
visible ctfict on the speaker whc.se
head an' fate dripped pe -tpirction.
As Judge Wescott closed with a
mention of the name "Wo..drow Wil
son" the crowd broke into a great
demonstration.
Moving picture flashlights blazed
and flags were paraded in front of the
stand. The band played "The Star
SoanEled Banner, while a huge ban
ner bearing the president's likeness
was unfurled from the roof of the
hall
Begin a Parade.
The delegates began a parade bear
ing state stanchions. The crowd on
the floor and balconies rose to its
feet Many delegates stood on their
chairs.
'Dixie and other melodies by the
band evoked fresh bursts of cheering.

during the demonstration to Repres

delegates were among the parados m
the aisles.
Senators and representatives helped
carry banners. Senator Hughes per
sonally bore the New Jersey tlag.
After the demonstration had been
under way 30 minutes, New York and
some other delegates resumed their
seats. Waving a cane over the rail
at the chairman's desk. Senator
Hughes renewed the clamor by lead
ing three cheers for the president
At 11:30 p. m. all but a few dele
gations had taken their places ap
parently ready to go on and at 11:33
Chairman James souded the first
gavel rap. The Idemonstration had
lasted forty-five minutes.
When Judge Wescott of New Jer
sey had placed the president in re
nomination and the nomination had
been seconded by Governor Harmon
of Ohio and and Governor Stuart of
Virginia, the delegates wanted to wait
no longer and cried "vote, vote."
No Ballots Taken.
On motion of Senator Hughes of
New Jersey the rules were suspended
and no ballots whatever were taken.
The delegates simply roared "aye."
Vhen the names of Wilson and Mar
hall were called and Chairman James
declared them nominated by acclama
tion. Senator Kern, nominating Vice
President Marshall discarded a long
prepared speech and simply said:
"I re-nominate Thomas Riley Mar
shall." The nominations of both candidates
were completed In four minutes be
fore midnight.
Robert burke of Illinois, a delegate
ho announced he would not vole for
he president, raised the only voice m
opposition. He was elected as an inde
pendent Factor in Orpet
Defense Develops
Waukegon, 111- June io. a lactor
in the defense of Will Orpet, charged
with the murder of Marion Lambert,
was brought out at the opening of
court today when cross-examination
of Dr. Ralph W. Webster, toxicolo
gist, was resumed by Attorney Ralph
F, Potter of the defense.
Mr. Potter adduced that nearly
three months elapsed from the flnd
Ino of Marlon's body. February 10
to May 5, when Marlon's coat and
other garments were brought to Dr.
Webster to have stains on them ana
lysed, The ceat Introduced yesterday
showed three circular white spots,
the marks, witness said, of cyanide of
potassium,
It was brought out that the coat
was not shown to Dr. Webster at the
coroner's Inquest.
"I formed mv opinion at that
time," said Dr. Webster, "that death
was due to cyanide of potassium poi
soning on the powder on the girl's
hand and on the stomach content,"
Dr, William S, McNally. chemist
to the coroner's office at Chicago, the
next witness, testified that cyanide of
potassium in liquid form would cause
death more quickly than the solid
poison. He said he had found 3.99
grains of the poison in a portion of
Miss Lamberts stomach which he
had examined.
A solid, the witness said, could not
have deliquesced sufficiently to have
left the spots on Marion's coat or to
have become encrusted in the lines of
the hand.
