Baltimore, July 3.--Gov. Wood
row Wilson, of New Jersey. was made
the presidential nominee Of the DEM
ocratic national convention st the AZ
ternoon session Tuesday when. on
the doth ballot. he received $50 votes
to 81 for Champ Clark. The Mis-
souri, delegation. which had remain
ed faithful to the end, then moved
that the nomination be made unani-
nous. There was q great chorus of
approval and the long fight was
over.
Only four ballots we're necessary
yesterday to reach nomination.
When the convention adjourned at
night it had seemed to be in an all
but hopeless deadlock. Wilson had
begun to lose ground On the last few
ballots. and Champ Clark had made
few temporary gains. This en-
couraged the speaker to rush over
to Baltimore from Washington Tues
day morning in the hope ofstill furth
er turning the tide and rallying his
forces to a final stand.
When he reached here. however.
|. he learned that the Illinois delega-
hon. at an early morning confer
q zee. had decided to switch from
Clark to Wilson. This meant change
Of fifty-eight votes and was as fatal
to Clark's chances as it was inspir-
ing to the Wilson forces. Illinois
had been expected to "break" all
day and there was a deep gloom in
the Wilson camp when it failed to
dc %. II
With the change. however. the
Wilson forces went to the conven-
ton hall at noon in the firm belief
that the New Jersey governor would
be nominated before another cd.
journment was taken. A 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
..y-tbird ballot. the hrst cast Tues

Wilson jumped from bis final vote
OF l94 Monday night to 602 on the
first ballot Tuesday. The figures
told their own story. The Wilson
delegates were jubilant as Chairman

delegates who had been pledged to

"As for Missouri. however. he
added. ''she will cast her thirty-six
