Mr.. Patton then offered another
resolution directing that the Wilson
resolution be telegraphed immedl-
ately to John T. McGraw at the
Belvidere hotel, Baltimore, and this
gave the convention another chance
to make some noise. which, of
course, was in the affirmative.
The Wilson resolution is as fol-
lows:
BE 1T resolved by the delegates
Of tho Harrison county convention
the second day OF July that under
the conditions existing at the ma
tional convention now In session In
Baltimore. we believe that woodrow
Wilson is the logical and strongest
candidate for president; that the
popular sentiment throughout the
country calls for his speedy nomiia-
tion and we believe that the sentI-

changed in his favor that we con-
slider the instructions given under
different conditions should no longer
be binding upon the West virginia
delegation and we urge said delega-
ton to support the man OF the hour

BALTIMORE, Md, July 2-Un-
less the Democratic national conveR-
ton makes a nomination today, It
was asserted this morning by tho
leaders that a majority OF the dele
gates would regard the situation as
practically hopeless. and some OF
them went SO far as to admit that
the convention might have to adopt
some other means of naming a
ticket. either by adjournment for a
fortnight or through a mass meet
ing to be held later.
Many leaders held that nomlna-
tion would be made today, basing it
on the belief that Illinois would vote
for Wilson.
The convention was called to or
der at 1909 o'clock and the forty
third ballot was ordered at 1915.
The forty-third ballot showed un-
usual gains for Wilson. BY the
time the roll call was about one
third completed he had gained
seventv-three over his last vote
Illinois had thrown afty-eight votes

MIDQCEAN REPARTEE.

As evidence that Englishmen are not without dry sense of humor, the marquis of Queensberry, now touring the United States, told the following story during his New York visit:
 Two Englishmen were paying court to the same American girl on Q transatlantic trip. Their steamer chairs were placed on either side of hers, and every fair day the rivals would sit for hours with the fair American, each trying to cut the other out. One of the two was no- torlously parsimonious. The men spoke of him as one who "had never bought drink in his life" and his stlnglness was manifested even in the way he smoked his cigars down to the last quarter of an inch.
 One morning the English 'Etight Wad, while monopolizing the Amer ican girls entire attention, smoked cigar until it began to singe his mustache. The other chap watched him languadly as he arose to toss the tiny cigar stump overheard. As he returned from the rail his rival drew his pipe from his mouth and observed:
 q say, old chap, I do hope that won't get in the propeller"
