NEWSPAPERS COMMENT
 ON NOMINATION OF
 GOV. WOODROW WILSON

ty has lent, for this campaign, the most powerful suit of armor he could wear. It is Republican factionalisrn IT there Is one spot that can be pene- trated behind that borrowed coat of mail It is the tariff flesh of the Dem ocratic candidate:'
 The Sun:
 The triangle is now complete un- less Oyster Bay retracts . Meanwhile whatever course Colonel Roosevelt may prefer under the cir cumstances, the Baltimore convention has named the most dangerous Dem ocratic competitor the Republican ticket could confront and has put him on, platform broad enough to war rant an extremely radical construc- tion. By so doing, it has thrust up~ on William Howard Taft the undi- yided honor of representing, in the campaign of 1912 the saner ideas of progress under the Constitution and the institutions we have. Mir. Taft may be beaten, but his feet are on a rock, not on a quicksand."
 The Boston Post, lukewarm in sup. port of Boston Democracy and with a. Republican leaning in State politics, today says edttorially:
 The next President of the United States was named by the Democratic convention at Baltimore, yesterday, and his naming was made unanimous. It is known the country over as Woodrow Wilson and he will be known in history, we fully believe, as one of the very great American Chief Executives" 3
 London. July 3.-The press of Lon- don, regardless of politics, today, ap- plauded the nomination of Governor Wilson by the. Democrats at Ba1ti- more, generally asserting that he was the best Democrat available.
 ''It certainly looks like Democrats success" said the Pail Mall Gazette. The nomination of Wilson will pre- vent the leakage of radical votes from the party to Roosevelt"
 "The selection of Wilson will prove an awkward bunker for Roosevelt"

.an citizens should protect them on our borders and go with them throughout the world and every American citizen residing or having property in any foreign country is en- titled to and must be given the full ernment both for himself and his property.
 Parcels Post and Rural Delivery.
 We favor the establishment of a parcels post or postal express, and also the extension of the rural deliv- cry system as rapidly as practicable.
 Panama Canal Exposition.
 We hereby express our deep inter est in the great Panama canal ex- position to be held in San Francisco in 1915 and favor such encourage ment as can be properly given.
 Protection of National Uniform.
 We commend to the several states the adoption of a law making it an offense for the proprietors of places of public amusement and entertain ment to discriminate against the uni
 ,rm of the United States, similar to Ie law passed by Congress applicable to the District of Columbia and the territories in 1911.
 Pensions.
 We renew the declaration of our last platform relating to a generous pension policy.
 Rule of the People.
 We call attention to the fact that the democratic party demand for a return to the rule of the people ex- pressed in the national platform four years ago has now become the ac- cepted doctrine of large majority of the electors. We again remind the country that only by a larger exer- else of the reserved power of the people. can they protect themselves from the misuse of delegated power and the usurpation of governmental instrum entality by special interests. For this reason the national conven- tion insisted on the overthrow of Cannonisrn and the inauguration of a system by which United States sena tors could be elected by direct vote. The democratic party offers itself to the country as an agency. through which the complete overthrow and ex.irpation of corruption, fraud and machine rule in American politics can be effected.
 Conclusion.
 Our platform is one of the prin- cipies which we believe to be essen tial to our national welfare. Our pledges are made to be kept when in office as we'll as relied upon during the campaign and we invite the CO., operation of all citizens, regardless of party, who believe in maintaining un- impaired the institutions and tradi- tions of our country.

New York. July Recommending on Wilson's nomination. the New York Times, today, said:
 The Democratic party, in the nomination of Wilson, is reborn. It will be organized, it will become eff ficient, it will have once more the confidence of the people. The nomi- nation of Governor Wilson will unite the party. It invites, we may almost say it commands, the return of pros- perity. It reduces MT. Roosevelt s bolt to the proportions of a Republi- can quarrel.''
 The WorId:-"He will be the first President of the United States in a generation to go into the office owing favorS to nobody except the American people and under obligations to noth- ing except the general welfare. Will sons nomination means the rule of the boss is oyer.''
 Hearst's American:-"The New York American will support the nom- inee-whOever else may rise. or fall in the fortunes of the last convention of the Democratic party, William J. Bryan comes out of- 1t stained forever and stamped by. his hyprocrisy and his hates as a fraud and dema- gogue. false in language, false in pro- fession and false in friendship as to party" .f,ss -sf.l&
 The Tribune :---''T he victory of the radical element at Baltimore is a killing frost to the hopes of the pro- jectors of the new third party--it was even greater triumph for MT. Bryan than. 1t. was for MT. Wilson"
 The Herald :--' Hats off to the gov ernor! He may not know it but he is on his way and that way is the way of a radical of the radicals" t.aThe Press:-''H MT!

He flashed into sight. too late for Motorman Peterson to bring his car to a stop. DeSanty 5amrned on his brakes and tried to swerve out of the way but the crash was inevitable.
 The automobile bounded over the fender against the dash, and glass and debris flew all about the motor
 mans head. The car, with its power reversed, ran about 35 feet after the smash. carrying the machine square iy ahead. DeSanty, clung to the wheel, and the car remained upright. He had mo passengers. DeSanty was too da1- ed for the moment to speak-. asA bit of flying glass; had struck his left cheek. and his light arm was wrench ed from the force of the collision. But he was not badly hurt.

about 500 short. During the singing
of the famous R~odeheaver Flag Song
the youngsters waved most energetic
ally and the sight was a magnificent
one, and during the selection by DR..
Putnam's band there was a perfect
sea of flags, and the doctor and his
big band never in all their lives
played to a more a~ppreciative audi
ence. The youngsters fairly roared
when the band played the patriotic
airs of our country, and when the
Star Spangled Banner was played
they all stood up.
Short Exercises.
The exercises in the tabernacle
were very short. DIR. G. g. Creegan,
president of Fargo college, read the
prayer for the nation from the Epfs-
copal prayer book, after which the
flag song was sung with a hearty
good will, the Billy Sunday choir
being directed by A. Fl. Dodsley and
the children Joined In the chorus with
vim, and it was then the flags waved
and everybody stood up and cheered.
AS an old soldier remarked: "Patri-
otism was running rampant" When
the old soldiers marched into the ta-
bernacle to the music of the fife and
drum corps the children again showed
their pleasure by much applause.
Mayor introduced Governor.
Mayor Sweet in a brilliant address
introduced Governor Burke, and he
called the gathering the nations
birthday party and made a hit by
some very happy remarks. He said
that this was the birthday Of the
grandest nation On the earth and re-
marked that all was sunshine under
the stars and stripes. He then intro
duced Governor Burke as the fore
most citizen of the state Of North
Dakota and his exceliency was given
a round Of applause.
What the Governor Said.
The governor said that he had come
almost clear across the continent to
fulfill his engagement here and that
it was worth while. He said the
scene of the waving flags and the
cheering reminded him Of the great
gathering in Baltimore which he had
just left. He SAID the men there, like
the children here, cheered and cheer
ed and that many of them did not
know what for. He wanted every
child there today to be always ready
and willing to cheer for the flag and
because of the nations birthday. He
said that the future of this country
rested with the children Of today,
for in a little while they would have
~ ~ N4ASlA PS1y Va sAAIaA ~
and go out in the great busy world
and take the place Of their fathers
and mothers.
What Il Means.
"A government of the people, said
the governor, means a government
which gives to every man the same
rights, where no man has more rights
than another. It is a great thing tc
know that you are a part of the gov-
eminent of the United States, and il
is he duty of all boys and girls to
keep this a government of the people
and for the people. The boys must
be ready always to defend this gov
eminent and flag under every and al
circumstances. Laws were made tc
keep men and women from encroach-
ing upon the rights Of other men anc
women. Our first duty, then is t.
obey the laws Of our land. / wish Il

old Glory and the children were
much in evidence in Fargo yesterday
and for the first time IN the history
Of the city the safe and sane cele-
bration idea was worked out to per-
lection.
The committee Of the commercial
club and the subcommittee that
worked so hard for the success OF the
day all were receiving congratulations
on every hand and nothing but good
words were on every side for the man
ner in which everything was con-
Quoted.
The weather man kind of threw
the scare into the children, for early
In the morning the rain fell at times,
but by the time of the meeting in the
tabernacle the u was shining and
everything looked just right. The air
was a trife sultry, but this did not
deter the ardent spirits OF the chill
dren and large numbers Of the older
ones were very buoyant and their
childhood days came back to them,
and they, too, had a good time.
Began Early.
Gov. John Burke arrived in the city
early from the Baltimore convention
and was met at the train by several
of the committee Of arrangements,
and escorted to the tabernacle. He
had been riding for almost two nights
and two days to fulfill his engage
ment here and he retired to take
ONE rest.
AS early as $3.50 the children began
to arrive in the tabernacle and when
the exercises began the building was
filled almost with children, for it is
estimated that there were fully 1900
of them present, and besides these
there were members of the different
societies that were to take part in
the parade, etc.
Beautiful Decoration.
The decorations in the tabernacle
were beautiful and were the work of
Mrs. Wick Wood and assistants who
had been appointed TO the task by
the committee. The front Of the
great platform was covered with the
the background as we'll. From the
cross pieces over the heads of the
speakers were streamers of red, white
and blue stars. The speakers stand
was banked with a liberty bell of red,
white and blue flowers, which had
been loaned by the Elks of Fargo.
There were baskets and stands of
ferns, palms and other plants, and
these had been loaned or donated by
George H. Clark, the Smedley COM
pany, the Shotwell company, the Phi
rie company and others, and the eff
feet was most pleasing.
A Grand Sight.
The children were in charge Of the
teachers of the day and Sunday
schools n the little ones from the
orphanage were marshalled by the
sisters and were afterwards taken in
charge by other ladies. They were
all a happy bunch of youngsters and
the cheers that emanated ever so
often were those OF the best of feel
ing and burst forth because they
could not be restrained and no one
wanted to do any restraining. The
youngsters cheered at everything and
everybody and when they didn't have
anything else to cheer over they
whooped It up for themselves. Flags
were waving and there were $500 OF
these given out, the committee being
