d ed, "she will cast her 80 votes for old
Champ Clark to the end.n
That was the beginning of the end;
it became apparent that Woodrow
Wilson would be nominated, and his
nomination followed shortly after
wards.
Mayor Fitzgerald, of Boston, follow
ed Stone. The convention was in an
almost continuous uproar. The Will
sou forces were already celebrating
their victory. There no longer was
any doubt as TO the result. Mayor
Fitzgerald withdrew the name of Gov
ernor Foss, of Massachusetts, from
further consideration and declared
that the "Old Bay State would fall in
line for Woodrow Wilson.
Then second Fitzgerald was recog-
nized. This time it was the congress
man from Brooklyn, a member of the
New York delegation. He made a
plea for harmony and ended by sug-
costing that further roll call be dis
pensed with and the nomination of
Wilson be made by reclamation. New
York, he said, was ready to vote for
The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1912-07-04

great chorus of appeals and the long
fight was over.
Only four ballots were necessary to-
day to reach a nomination. When the
convention adjourned last night the
convention had seemed 10 be in all but
hopeless deadlock. Wilson had begun
to lose ground on the last few ballots,
and Champ Clark had made a few
temporary gains. This encouraged
the speaker to rush over to Baltimore
from Washington this morning in the
hope of still further turning the tide
and rallying his forces to final stand.
When he reached here, however, he
learned that the Illinois delegation, at
an early morning conference, had de-
cided to switch from Clark to Wilson.
This meant a change of IS votes and
was as fatal to Clark's chances as it
was inspiring TO the Wilson forces.
Illinois had been expected to "breakn
all day Yesterday and there was deep
gloom in the Wilson camp when it
failed to do so.
With the change this morning, how
ever, the Wilson forces went to the
convention hall at noon in the firm
belief that the New Jersey governor
would be nominated before another
adjournment was taken. AS they had
anticipated, the vote of Illinois mark
ed the beginning of the end. West
Virginia joined hands with Illinois in
going over to Wilson on the forty-third
ballot, the first cast today.
Wilson jumped from his final vote
of 494 last night to COZ on the first bal
lot today. The figures told their own
story. The Wilson delegates were ju.
bilant AS Chairman. James directed the
second call of the day-the forty
fourth of the convention.
The most important change of this
ballot was in the Colorado delegation,
which had been voting II for Clark
and l for Wilson. This time Colorado
divided 10 to 2 in favor of Wilson. AL
together the ultimate nominee gained
y votes on this ballot. Then came
the 18th. 1t was disappointing, in a
way, for Clark held his own and Will
son made gain of only 4.
There were few in the hall at this
time who did not believe Wilson
would win, but they feared it would
take a long, long while for him to at
tain the 7253 votes necessary to nomi-
nate. 1t was realized that there must
be decided "breakn in the Under.
wood vote, which had held firm from
the beginning, before any man could
win. ..- ..-.
The torty-siXth ballot which had
been ordered meant results. Senator
Stone, of Missouri, who had been in
conversation with Speaker Clark,
climbed to the stage, and when he
could make himself heard, released in
the name of the speaker, allSo the de-.
egates who had been pledged to him
"As for Missouri, however," he adj
The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1912-07-04

the man the great majority of the del
egates desired as their nominee.
The faithful Missourians objected TO
this plan because of their desire to
vote last time for Speaker Clark.
1t was foregone conclusion what
the result would be as the last call of
the states began. alabama, which
had started every other call with "a
votes for Underwood, changed to Will
son and state after state followed suit.
1T was just 3:l5 p. NJ. when the solid
seventy-six votes of Pennsylvania car
ried Wilson over the winning line,
making his total at the time 733 votes.
The stampede did not end until 800
ofthe LOSS votes in the convention
had been cast for the nominee. Mis-
souri, with her 36 had been joined on
the last ballot for Clark by "a of Cali
fornia's 26 votes, by five delegates from
Florida, two from Louisiana, all six
from Nevada, four from New jersey,
the, home state OF Governor Wilson,
six from the District of Columbia and
one from Ohio. This little handful
readily joined in the chorus of accla-
nation when Senator Stone moved
that the nomination be made unanl
nous. .t--
1t was $3.50 p. M when Chairman
James officially declared Mr.. Wilson
the nominee of his party. There was
an attempt at another demonstration,
but the delegates were too tired to
keep it up long. Then, too the local
appropriation for band had run out
last Saturday night and there was no
inspiring music to help along the en-
thusiasm. In this respect the nomin-
alton was unique. Everyone in the
convention hail seemed IN happy
frame of mind that the end had come.
William j. Bryan, who had taken
absolutely no part in the proceedings
the day other than to cast his vote
with a majority of the Nebraska dele
CATION for Governor Wilson, was sur
rounded by many admirers, but
would say nothing at the time. He
said he would prepare statement later
in the day.
Nominations for the vice. presidency
were in order but no one had been
agreed upon so it was decided that a
recess should be taken until l p. m.
when the vice-president should be
named and the platform adopted.
The interium was devoted TO confer
ences on both subjects.

Baltimore, July 3.-For President
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey.
For Vice-P resident-Governor Thorn
as r.. Marshall of Indiana.
This was the ticket completed by
the democratic national convention at
1856 a. m. today.
+ The nomination of Governor Mar
shall for vice-president came as some
thing of surprise for when the
nights balloting for vice-president
began, it seemed that the Bryan-Wil-
son contingent in the convention had
definitely settled upon Governor John
4. Burke of North Dakota.
There was not much of fight, how
ever, and when two ballots disclosed
Marshall easily in the lead Governor
Burke's name was withdrawn and
Marshall was proclaimed the nominee
by reclamation. A minute later the
convention had adjourned sine die.
Governor Wilson was nominated at
the afternoon session on the forty-sixth
ballot, and his nomination, like that
of Governor Marshall tonight was
quickly made unanimous. The best
of feeling pervaded both sessions.
Mr.. Bryan had announced his in
tention of introducing a resolution in
effect discharging the national COM
mittee from the conduct of the coming
campaign and allowing Governor Will
son to appoint his own campaign COM
mittee. He was dissuaded from this
course, and instead OF making move
that might have stirred up strife, he
made little speech which he termed
his "valedictory" and in a happy
mood turned over the mantle of his
former leadership as a presidential
candidate to Governor Wilson.
He pledged his faithful support to
the presidential nominee and ended
by urging that either Governor Burke
or Senator George Chamberlain, of
Oregon, be nominated vice-president.
The Nebraskan was understood par
. ticularly TO favor Governor Burke as a
type of the modern progressive.
When, after the first ballot, some
enc moved TO make the nomination
of Marshall unanimous, Mr.. Bryan
started for the stage to make a state
ment. The motion was Withdrawn
before he could speak. When the mo-
ton was renewed after the second bal
lot MIR. Bryan did not protest.
( Gov. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jer-
sey, received 900 votes to "a for Champ
Clark. The Missouri delegation, which
had remained faithful to Clark to the
end, then moved that the nomination
be made unanimous. There was a

to travel continuously from twenty
five 10 eighty miles the day: Others
were busy with the pack-baskets. 4
tent, presumably Mahomed's, was be-
ing erected upon clayey piece of
ground in between the palms. No one
entered the huts, even out of curios-
ity: so George was certain that the
desertion had been brought about by
one plague or another. A smaller
tent was put up later, and he was
grateful at the sight Of it. 1t meant
a little privacy for the poor girl. Great
God, how helpless he was, how help-
less they all were!
An incessant clatter, occasionally
interspersed with laugh, went on.
The Arab, unlike the East Indian, is
not ordinarily surly; and these
seemed to be good-natured enough.
They eyed George without malice.
The war of the night before had been
all in a days work, for which they
had been literally paid. While he had
spent much time in the Orient and
had ridden camels, q real caravan,
prepared for weeks OF travel, was a
distinct novelty, and so he viewed all
with interest, knowing perfectly we'll
that within a few days he would look
upon these activities with dull, hope
less anger. He went back to the
girl and sat down beside her.
Have you any idea why you are
here?"
'No; unless he saw me in the ba-
zaars with Horace, and thought TO
torture him by bringing me along
Horace! A chill that was not Of the
night ran over his shoulders. SO she
called the adventurer by his given
name? And how might her presence
torture Ryanne? George felt weak
in that bitter moment. Ay, now might
not her presence torture him also?
He had never, for the brIefest space,
thought of Ryanne and Fortune at the
same time. She spoke, alphabetically
It was true, as IL she had known him
all her life. The wisest thing he could
do was to bring Ryanne to condition
where he could explain some parts Of
the enigma and be Of some use. Hor-
ace!
'I'm going to have another try at
him." he said.
She nodded, but without any par
ticular enthusiasm.

and SO far as he was concerned ne
had no choice. the one was as bad as
the other. So, if the young fool who
had bought the rug of Ryanne told
the truth when he declared that it
had been stolen again, then Ryanne
knew where it was; and he could be
made to tell; he, Mahomed, would at
tend to that. And when Ryanne con-
fessed, the girl and the other would
be conveyed to the nearest telegraph
post. That they might at once report
the abduction to the English authori-
ties did not worry Mahomed. Not the
fleotest racing.caCel could find him,
and behind the walls of the palace
of Bagdad, only Allah could touc!!
him. He had figured it all out closely,
and he was an admirable strategist
in his way. Revenge upon Ryanne for
the dishonor and humiliation, and the
return of the rug: there was nothing
more beyond that.

CHAPTER Kill.
Not a Cheerful Outlook.

George, his brain in tumult, fierce
tigerish courage giving fictitious
strength to his body, staggered toward
her. 1t was q mad dream, q mirage
of his own disordered thoughts. For
tune there's It was not believable.
What place had she in this tangled
web? He ran his fingers into his hair,
:gripped, and pulled. If>it was q dream
the pain did not waken him; Fortune
sat there still. Through what ter
lrors might she not have passed the
preceding night? Alone in the desert,
without any Of those conveniences
which are to women as necessary as
the air they breathe! He tried to rum
but his feet sank too deeply in the
pale sand; he could only plod. He
must touch her or hear her voice;

homed shrugged, and returned to tho
business of breaking camp.
George was keenly interested in
this man who could accept such a
kick apparently without feeling or re-
sentiment. He stood up for better
view. One glance was sufficient. It
was Ryanne, the erstwhile affable
Ryanne Of the reversible cuffs: his
feet and hands still in bondage, his
clothes torn, his face battered and
bruised like sailors of Sunday
morning on shore-leave. The sight Of
Ryanne frightened him considerably.
Although he was singularly free from
the spirit Of malevolence, he was, new
ertheless, human enough to subscribe
to that unwritten and much denied
creed that the misery Of one man rec
onciles another to his. And here was
company such as misery loved; here
was q man worse off than himself,
whose prospects were q thousand
times blacker. Poor devil! And here
he was, captive Of the men he had
wronged and beaten and robbed. Al
seen through Georges eyes, Ryanne's
outlook was not pleasant thing to
contemplate But oh! the fight this
one must have been! If it had taken
five natives to overcome him. how
many had it taken to beat Ryanne
into such shocking condition? He
was genuinely sorry for Ryanne, but
in his soul he was glad to see him
One white man could accomplish
nothing in the face Of these odds; but
two white men, that was different
matter. Ryanne, once he got his legs,
strong, courageous, resourceful, Ry.
anne would get them both out of It
somehow. And if Ryanne
hadn't the rug, who the dickens had?
The tumble of questions that rose
in his mind, seeking answers to the
riddle OF Yhiordes rug, subsidized even
as they rose. The bundle to the far
side Of Ryanne stirred. He had. in his
general survey Of the scene, barely
set q glance upon 1t, believing it to
be a conglomeration Of saddle-bags
;(made Of wool and cotton) and blan-
kets. 1t stirred again. George stud
led it with peculiar sense Of detach-
ment. A woman; woman In what
had but recently been smart Paris
ian tailor-made street-dress. The
woman, rubbing her eyes. bore her
self up painfully to sitting posture.
She was white. All the blows OF the
night past were as nothing in COM
parison with this invisible one which
seemed to strike at the very source
Of his life.
Fortune Chedsoye!
