Come on, you Wilson," yelled the
Jersey delegation, as they leaped to
their chairs.
The ballot left Wilson with 124
votes short of the necessary two
thirds to nominate.
More States Climb On.
Once more the call of the roll be.
gan. 1t was the forty-fourth ballot
and Wilson in the beginning gained
one in Arizona. Colorado climbed
aboard the "band wagon" giving VIII
son a gain of nine This made the
vote ten to two for Wilson One of
the two was Mrs. Anna B. Pitzer, sis
ter-in-law of Speaker Clark.
In Idaho on this ballot Wilson lost
half vote, but he gained two, as In
diana's vote was cast solidly for him.
Wilson gained 31a in Iowa and
Louisiana gave him one more.
The Mississippi delegation was In
caucus when called on the forty-fourth
ballot and was passed.
Maryland gave Wilson a gain of one
and one-half and Ohio gave him a gain
Of one more.
The forty-fourth ballot put Wilson
S615 votes away from a nomination.
His vote was 629, a gain of twenty.
| seven as compared with the forty.
third ballot.
Clark dropped from 800 to BOG.
The situation led to the belief that
Wilson would be nominated on the
foTty-ffth ballot.
An effort was made at the end of
the fOrtyfourth roll call by the Wash
lngton delegation to vote proxies on
a poll of that delegation. Chairman
James insisted upon maintaining his
position, formerly taken, that no
proxies should be voted in the conven.
ton.
An appeal was taken to the conven-
ton, but the chair was sustained by
a roaring vote which seemed almost
unanimous.
Little Change In Forty.ffth.
An expected break in the solid Ala
bama vote of twenty-four for Under.
wood failed TO occur on the forty fifth
ballot The Wilson people were anx
iously awaiting change in the Ala,
bama vote in the hope that it would
start the final landslide for their can
didate
Although Wilson made slight gains
early in the forty-ffth ballot there
were no serious breaks in the Clark
ranks. During this ballot the Wilson
leaders worked like beavers to secure
the Underwood strength for the New
Jersey man. A. Mitchell Palmer, lead
er Of the Wilson forces, visited The
Alabama delegates and earnestly
urged them to throw their votes K
Wilson, but he could not get much
encouragement.
A poll of the New Mexico delegation
showed an inclination to break the
solid eight Clark votes, but they were
held by the unit rule. New York!
ninety again went to Clark and hope
Of a nomination on this ballot wa!
lost. In Ohio Wilson gained. the vot'
being: Harmon 25, Wilson %.
The change on the forty-ffth ballo
was slight, Clark remaining at BOG
Wilson advanced from COZ to 639
The end came in sight when, at TIL
beginning of the forty-sixth ballot
Senator Bankhead of Alabama, man
ager Of the Underwood forces, mount
ed the platform and announced tn,
withdrawal of Underwood.

Baltimore, July 3.-The withdrawal
Of Oscar w. Underwood from the
presidential race, after the forty-fifth
ballot, made Woodrow Wilson the
presidential nominee of the Democratic
party.
The forty-sixth ballot ended a strug.
gle unprecedented for bitterness in
Democratic annals. After the second
ballot of the day Woodrow Wilson was
within less than 100 votes of the nomi-
nation. Either sCharles F. Murphy or
Oscar w. Underwood by saying the
word could nominate him. Why Muir
ply held out remained q mystery. The
New York delegates in caucus just be-
fore the convention opened decided to
stick to Clark.
After two ballots Thomas F. Ryan,
as member of the Virginia delega-
ton, was supporting Wilson. Thomas
Taggart of Indiana was already in the
Wilson column Roger Sullivan went
over with his fffty-eight Illinois votes.
The only man left of the old combina.
ton was Murphy. The New York
delegation insisted, even after Wilson
had picked up 1876 votes on two roll
calls, that he was at his high water
mark and could not be showed any
farther.
CIark's Vote Decreasing.
New York's ninety votes, by going
to Wilson, would settle the thing be-
yond question. Underwood still had
more than twenty votes after the
second roll call. By releasing them
/ he could name the candidate. After
the first roll call the Clark vote was
less than one-third of the convention
and therefore no longer in a position
to maintain the deadlock without as
| sistance.
The forty-t1fth ballot showed Wilson
still making gains and then Senator
Bankhead took the platform and for
mally withdrew Mr.. Underwood's
name.
"Mr Underwood directs me. to with
draw his name from this convention"
said Bankhead, amid impressive 81
lence, adding tribute of thanks from
Underwood for the sincere and loyal
support given him. He added that all
his friends were now at liberty to
vote for whom they pleased.
Senator Bankhead was followed by
Senator Stone, who formally released
all the Clark delegates, and then 1t
seemed inevitable that the nomination
of Wilson would come by reclamation
Stone said delegations were per
fectly free to vote for whom they
choose. But the Missouri delegation
