in the Morning.
BALTIMORE, July 3.-"For
President-Gov. Woodrow Will
SON of New Jersey.
For Vice President-Gov.
Thomas r. Marshall of Indiana. !"
This was the ticket completed
by the democratic national con-
vention which adjourned sine die
at 1856 am. today.
The nomination Of Gov Marshall for
Vice President came as something Of a
surprise, for when the nights balloting
for Vice President began it seemed that
the Bryan-Wilson contingent in tho con-
vention had definitely settled upon Gov.
John E. Burke of North Dakota
There was not much Of q fight, how
ever, and when two ballots disclosed
Marshall easily in the lead, Gov. Burke's
name was withdrawn and Marshall was
proclaimed the nominee by reclamation.
A minute later the convention had adj
journed sine die. The delegates. worn
and weary, made their way out OF the
big convention hall singing and happy
to be started for home.
Gov. Wilson was nominated at the aft
ernoon session Of the forty-sixth ballot.
and his nomination. like that of Gov. Mar
shall last night, was quickly made unani-
nous. The best of feeling pervaded both
sessions. and the delegates seemed to be
in happy frame of mind.
Bryan Delivers Valedictory.
Mr. Bryan had announced his inten-
ton of introducing a resolution in effect
discharging the national committee from
conduct of the coming campaign and al
lowing Gov. Wilson to appoint his own
campaign committee. He was dissuaded
from this course. and instead of making
a move that might have stirred UP strife,
ne made little speech which he term
ed his "valedictory." and in happy vein
turned over the mantle OF his former
leadership as presidential candidate to
Gov. Wilson.
He pledged his faithful support to the
presidential nominee, and ended by urging
Chamberlain of Oregon be nominated for
Vice President. The Nebraskan was UNI
derstood particularly to favor Gov. Burke
as type Of the modern progressive.
When, after the first ballot, some one
moved to make the nomination of Mar
shall unanimous Mr.. Bryan started for
the stage to make statement The mo-
ton was withdrawn before he could
speak When the motion was renewed
after the second ballot Mr.. Bryan did not
protest.
The platform. hewed out in committee
several days ago, and warmly praised by
Mr. Bryan, was adopted with a whoop.
Many of the delegates went directly
from the convention hall to special trains,
and today practically all have left town.
The delegates, tired OF the dull routine
of four days of balloting for presiden-
tial candidate. were on hand early for
the evening session, anxious to dispose of
the work that was still to be done. The
choice of vice presidential candidate
was the first problem confronting the
convention.
At 9:35 Chairman James called the con-
ventiOn to order.
Immediately after the prayer Chairman
James announced. Nomination of candi-
dates for the Vice President of the United
States is now in order"

Dockery of Missouri hurried to the plat
form to decline the nomination for Clark.
The Hon. Champ Clark has decided he
cannot accept the Office Of Vice Presi-
dent" said Dockery.
Champ Clark did not reach this con-
clusion out of pique," continued Dockery.
He is as loyal to the democratic party
and to its nominee, Woodrow Wilson, as
he ever was Speaker Clark simply pre-
fers to remain in his present place. or to
remain a simple member of the House of
Representatives"
