 Seaglrt. N. J.. July 2.-Twenty news paper reporters sitting ceatless and hatlcss on the lawn of New Jerseys little White house" this afternoon, saw an operator come to the telegraph tents. with a yellow blank in his hands. He stood for a moment in silhouette against the canvas background and read: wilson is nominated!"
 When he looked up, twenty chairs were rocking vacantly in the breeze, and the twenty men who had heard him moment before were d half hun dred feet away, scampering in a strag- sling line for a spot on the governors porch. where short time before tall, thin man in gray suit had been sit ting
 The chair where he had sat was empty and they burst into the parlor door.
 MT. President" they shouted, with one voice. we congratulate you!"
 They found the man they sought when his life as nominee of the dem ocratic party was less than a minute old He was laughing and chatting with his wife and daughters. The news, he said, had come a moment be- fore over the long distance telephone after days of anxious waiting and the few seconds he had spent with his family were his first of real relaxation during the week.
 Hopes Party Will Never Regret It.
 "The honor is as great as can come to any man by the nomination of party" the nominee said as the group stood attentively by, especially in the circumstances, and I hope I appreci- ate 1t at it's true value. but just at this moment l feel the tremendous re- sponsibility it involves, even more than l feel the honor. ] hope with all my heart that the party will never have reason to regret it."
 The governor was allowed only a brief respite before there poured in the | deluge of callers who had hung about | the ticiIers and telephone boards for several days.
 They streamed by every road and pathway to the white cottage where ! New Jerseys governors spend their summers. They swarmed over the lawn, climbed on his porch, perched | themselves on the brass cannon guard | ing the entrance, on the knoll nearby, on the fence-anyWhere there was room to sit and cheer again and again. | Between bursts of applause they called | him Woodrow" and Governor" and l Wilson" but, most. of all they hailed | him as the next president of the Unit ed States
 Flag Raised to Breeze. A thousand yards away company | of militia on the rife range peppered away al long lines of targets backing | on the sea. Someone telephened the | clubhouse and the firing ceased. Down | the twisted roadway there raced a ] beyy of automobiles kicking up 8 great l cloud of dust in their dash. As they drew up in front of the governors cot 1 tage, half & dozen men jumped from | one and ran with a flash of bunting | under their arms to a lofty f1agpole and few seconds later a forty foot flag was rippling from the top in the breeze.
 Three cheers for the next presi- | denti' shouted lusty-lunged enthus- fast, and the crowd on the porch and lawn gave them with will. The gov ernor removing his soft brown hat bowed and said; Gentlemen, thank you from my heart"
 Band Arrives on Scene.
 Down the road a mile, a brass banC of forty pieces lay under cover await. ing signal They had been waiting there two days, practising on Hail tC the Chief" and See. the Conquerins Hero COmes." When the signal came the leader stepped out and asked i. they were ready. They were. So they marched down the road in the wake oi lnnumerable automobiles, past scores of pedestrians and stopped on the gov ernor's lawn. And there they played while the visitors apPlaUded and the governor bowed his thanks. Withir the governors parlOr there was a great crOWding of visitors and shaking ot hands and bestowing of all sorts ot good wishes and predictions. The gov ernor's three daughters, Misses Jessie Margaret and EleanoT, were qTite be- side themselves with happiness. while Mr. Wilson smiled and said she fel "Oh, so soiemn,' and that the respon. sibility was almost as terrible as tn, suspense. But the governor acted lfk, an enthusiastic boy grown dignifiec and said ii was almost too good to b, true.
 Wilson's Daughter Distributes Button
 Miss Jessie opened the preSidentia campaign of 1912 for her father. Sh gathered a pocketful of Wilson button and pinned them on every one of tn callers. She did not forget four braWn7 railroad brakemen who came in ti shake the governors hand and tell hin thai they were tired of being repuoli cans and would cast their first demo cratic votes for him.
