 GETS NOMINATION
Chosen for Governor by North
 Carolina Democrats
DELEGATES ENTHUSIASTIC
Nomination Came on the Fifth Ballot and When It Was Made Unanimous Convention Broke Into Pande-
 monlum--Strong Platform.

Raleigh, June A.-At 5:45 o'clock this morning, just before adjournment of the prolonged night session, Robert B. Glenn was nominated by the democratic conVen- | tion for governor of North Carolina. He was chosen on the fifth ballot, and amid scenes of indesoribable conruslon, cheer ing, hurrahlng, waving of hats, coats and banners, the nomination was made unanimous.
 On the reassembling of the convention at 10;15 this morning the delegates at once proceeded to the business or nomin- ating the other state officers with the following results:
 Lieutenant Governor, Hon. Francis D. Winston.
 Associate justices of the supreme court, ". A. Hoke and George H. Brown, Jr.
 State auditor B. F. Dixon.
 Treasurer, B. R. Lacy.
 Secretary of state. J. Bryan Grimes.
 Superintendent of education. J. Y. Joy ner.
 Commissioner of tabor and printing, H. B. Warner.
 Corporation commissioner, S. L. Rog- CTS.
 Commissioner of agriculture s. T. Pat terson.
 For associate justice the names of M. H. Justice and W. A. Hoke were both pre- scented. but Hoke won out on the first bal lot
 The delegates at large are. Julian S. Cars, Durham: Lock Craig. Asheyille; John E. Woodward Wilson; E. J. Hale, Fayetteville. The presidential electors are: r. s. Spruill of Franklin, and w. A. Self of Catawba.
 A resolution was passed by the eonven- ton instructing the delegates to the na- tonal convention to vote as unit on all matters coming before them, but other wise the members will go uninstructed. A resolution demanding division of the school fund between the races on the ba- sis of taxation, was adopted by an over whelming vote, the democracy Of North Carolina thus placing itself on record as favoring in every possible way the edu- cation of the negro and giving hlm equsl facilities with the Caucasian.
 The platform adopted after brief refer ence to the settling of the race problem by the passage of the constitutional amendment has this to say of the South Dakota bond suit.
 The democratic party of 1904 approves the settlement made in 1879 and will for ever oppose any and all attempts rom any quarter to set aside the settlement then made. It will abide by the mandates of the courts but it will not consent to re-open the settlement that was alike ereditable to the state and fair to the oth- | CTS of it's securities"
 It then speaks of national policies,
 "We condemn the President for his sur render to trust influences and Tor ms failure to enforce the law against mon- opolies and monopollsts. Congress appro- priated $5O0,0N0 to employ special counsel to enforce the laws against trusts. In twelve months he expended for such pur- poses only one-twentieth of that sum. In the midst of crime and havoc committed by these wrong-doers, he will not stop the violation of statutes enacted for the protection of the people, nor punish the criminals who plunder them, although his attention was called to the manner in which the perpetrators might be punish ed by recent receptions of the supreme court.
 We denounce tie present iniquitious, unjust and trust creating protective tariff imposed upon the people by the republi- can party, and demand it's immediate re- vision to the end that all unjust burdens shall be removed and especially those upon the necessaries of life and those that enable the trusts to extort from the people unreasonable profits and sell their products to consumers at home at greater prices than are charged for the same goods to the foreign consumer
 we view with alarm the growing ten dency of the government under republi- can administration toward despotic cen- tralization at home as well as despotic imperialism abroad. We denounce the policy of the republican perty in build ing up a strong centralized government at Washington at the expense of the sacred rights of the sovereign states, that which in it's policy and conduct has re- vised the clause of the constitution, re- serving to the state all rights not spe- officially conferred upon the federal gov ernment and has assumed for the cen- tral government at Washington the vast resdum of power solemly guaranteed to the people in that constitution"
 The committee on platform and reso- 1 lutions reported favorably a resolution endorsing the candidacy of Judge Par ker. There was opposition in the con vention to any endorsement of or in- struction for any one, and the friends of Judge Parker withdrew the resolu- ton. Senator F. M. Simmons declared that Parker was his choice, but in view of the condition in the convention, urged the withdrawal of the resolutions. Be- fore Senator Simmons spoke national com mitteeman Josephus Daniels urged that 1t was unwise to endorse or instruct and insisted that the resolutions be withdrawn.
