\ vEEY HARMONIOUS ENDING

Baltimore, July For Presi-
dent-Goyernor Woodrow Wilson.
of New Jersey. For Vice President
Governor Thomas II. Marshall. of
Indiana.
This was the ticket completed by
'he Democratic National Conven-
lion at 1856 a. m, to-day.
The nomination Of Governor Mar
shall for Vice President came as
something of surprise, for when
the nights ba.lotiug for Vice Presi-
9"nt hreau, il seemed that the Dry
an-Wilsou contingent in the conven-
tior had definitely settled upon
Governor John +. Burke. Of North
Dakota
There was nor much of a fight,
however, and when two ballots dis
closed Marshall easily in the lead.
Governor Burke's name was with
drawn ard Marshall was proclaim
ed the nominee by acclamation. A
minute later the convention had adj
journed sine die. The delegates,
worn and weary. made their way
out of the big convention hall sing
ing and happy to be started for
home.
Governor Wilson was nominated
at the afternoon session on the for
ty-siXth ballot. and his nomination,
like that of Governor Marshall to-
night, was quickly made unani-
nous. The best of feeling pervad-
ed both sessions and the delegates
seemed to be in a happy frame OF
mind.
Mr.. Bryan had announced his in
tention of introducing resolution
In effect discharging the national
from conduct of the COM
Ing campaign and allowing Govern
or Wilson to appoint his own cam
paign committee.
He was dissuaded from this
and instead OF making a
move that might have stirred up
strife, he made little speech which
he termed his "valedictory" and in
happy vein turned over the mantle
Of his former leadership as Presi-
Dental candidate to Governor Will
son.
He pledged his faithful support
20 the Presidential nominee by
urging that either Gov. Burke or
Senator George Chamberlain, Of
oregon, be nominated for Vice
President.
The Nebraskan was understood
particularly to favor GOV. Burke as
| type of the modern progressive.
Then, after the first ballot. some
me moved to make the nomination
If Marshal unanimous. Mr.. Bryan
tarted for the stage to make a
tatement. The motion was with
rawn before he could speak. When
he motion was renewed after the
econd ballot. Mr.. Bryan did not
rotest.

Practically an events at recent re-

Clement Studebaker, jr.. the mil

of Detroit's Cadillaqua regatta July

Mr.. Studebaker gave a massive
sterling silver trophy. to be awarded
the motorboat which. during the re-
gatta. whizzed the fastest fight over
the measured ''Studebaker Mile

event was open TO all boats propelled
by gasoline engines.
The fastest of the worlds motor

extended trip through the British

Mr.. Kilbourne was in Europe. No

CHALMERS LINE
STANDARDIZED
Many Parts of Different Cars
Made by the Company Are
Now interchangeable.

With fun electric lighting equip
ment, Turkish cushions, eleven-inch
upholstery, handsome all-metal bell
backed bodies, air pressure self
starter, d~emountable rims and many
other improvements, Chalmers cars
for 1919 appeal to the layman as hav-
ing reached just about the acme of
motor car comfort, convenience and
good looks.
The Chalmers line for 1913 consists
of three chassis models-the "30.''
which has been well-known for the
past five years; the 'Thirty-six,'
which was first introduced last sea-
son, and the Six" which was
brought out about the first of the
present year.
In all models the Chalmers Com
pany has gone the limit to produce
medium priced cars, offering the
maximum of luxury and convenience.
New Price of &c."
Perhaps the most startling feature
of the Chalmers announcement is the
fact that the six will be marketed
for the 1918 season at $4,000. This
change in price of, the company's
highest-powered model is explained
by the fact that during the past eea-
son the Chalmers factory has been
materially enlarged. The standard
ization of the entire Chalmers line,
making nan parts of the six-cylin-
der car interchangeable with the
"~Thirty-six,' has also had mucS to
do in placing the new price IN the
six
The "Thirty-sixe is priced at 81, $50,
while the go remains at 81, 500.
No Innovations This Year.
Mechanically, the new Chalmers
cars offer no Innovations. The CHAIN
ers sel~f-starter, which was first in
troduced last season, is continued. A
seasons use of this device has proved
It simple and thoroughly efficient.
The Chalmers Company is more than
satisfied that air pressure is the log
ical force for the operation of n self
starter.
For the nsw season, however. the
Chalmers starter Is provided with a
forr-cylinder pressure pump. instead
of the climber check valve which was
used last season. An improved shut
off valve on the storage tank is also
introduced. Otherwise the Chalmers
starting device stands as first
brought before the public.
