by the Imperial Council, Ancient

Shrine Of North America, which in In
session at Los Angeles, Calf, for
the establishment OF Nemesis temple
at ParkersLirg The petition for this
temple was presented at the Imperial
council by A. b. White, who was the
official representative at the council.
The dispensation was granted on the
second day of the session. The dis
pensat:on permits the location of the
temple in that city at once but a
charter cannot be granted until after
period Of one year has elapsed.
A temple for that city has been
hoped for by Parkersburg shriners
for several years but they were un-
able to secure it on account of OPP
position which was made by other
temples in the state. When the move
ment failed at the last Imperial
council the Nemesis Shrine Associa-
ton, which is composed of Parkers-
burg shriners who were working with
this purpose in yiew. became very
active and as result seven persons
were sent to the annual meeting at

bore the signatures of 416 shriners
who desire to become affiliated with
the new temple. There are also about
100 other Masons who desire to be-
come members
Parkersburg shriners are very en-
thusiastic over the fact that the dis
pensation has been granted. There
are but two temples in West vir-
ginia at the present time-osiris, at
Wheeling. and Bent Kedem, at

WILSON NAMED
BY DEMOCRATS
FOrty-Six Ballots Taken For
Presidential Candidate.
Long Dead Lock Broken and Speaker
Clark Meets Like Fate Of
Roosevelt.

woodrow Wilson, of New Jer-
sey, was nominated Tuesday for thu
presidency by the Democratic ma
tional convention. The nomination
was made after Underwood had bee
Withdrawn. Clark had released his
supporters and New York, as a
climax, had moved to sspend bal
loting and make the nomination O
Wilson by acclamation. There was
objection to this plan. and the roll
call went on. Wilson received $50
Baltimore.-The national democratic
convention which assembled here a
week ago Tuesday witnessed many ex-
citing Incidents, and developed a dead
lock that was unequalled by any na
tional convention since the republican
gathering at Chicago in 1880, when
General Grant was a candidate for a
third term, and 306 delegates clung to
his banner to the thirty-sixth and final
ballot when Garfield was nominated.
A remarkable feature of the conven-
ton was the dominance of Bryan De
feated for temporary chairman by
Judge Alton B. Parker, who was put
forward by the conservative element.
he refused to- subside, and maintained
beligerent attitude throughout the
convention, and several times hurled
thunderbolt which set the delegates
and spectators on edge. The specta-
Gle was unique in American politics.
In no national convention in recent
years has one man by sheer force CT
his personality been able to upset the
plans of the leaders, overturn long es-
tablished precedent and force an in
tensely hostile opposition to adopt his
views without strenuous fight.
The first victory was in reversing
the program of the conservative steer
Ing committee, which intended to con
tinue the temporary organization and
make Judge Parker the permanent
chairman. Instead, the progressives
forced the selection of Ollie James of
Kentucky, to be permanent chairman.
Bryan Declines charmanship. ,
Bryan repudiated the Murphy-Tag.
gart-Sullivan attempt to mollify him,
and refused election as chairman OF
the resolutions committee
When the convention convened Wed.
nesday morning it was announced
that the credentials committee would
not be able to report until p. m. Be.
fore adjourning to that hour the con.
vention listened to a number OF
speeches.
Immediately after the convention
was called to order in the evening the
chairman of the committee on rules
was recognized to present the commit
tees report The report as read
placed the nominations for president
and vice president on the program of
