Democratic Ticket For President
 WOODROW WILSON. For Delegate to Congress-
 ROBERT w. JENNINGS.
WOODROW WILSON.

The Democratic party in con- VentiOn assembled at Baltimore, after a most remarkable me eting, has, on it's fOrty-siXth ballot, chosen it's standard bearer for the coming campaign, in the per son of Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton, New Jersey.
 The proceedings of the con Venlion were marked with an in- irnsity of feeling from the very beginning, the result of battle royal for the supremacy of the party between the conservative and the progressive wings of the organization, resulting in the end in such manner as to make a clear line of dcmarkaiion be- tween the Democratic and Re- publican parties.
 The nomination of Mr. Taft by inc Republicans. was victory of he r'aclionarirS as represented by the Siandpat element of that party, while that of Mr. Wilson represents the progressive spirit of Ihc nation.
 The issues to he presented tO the voters between now and NO- Vember will be clear cut; they will be such issues as most con- cern the people in their every day lives. The old political clap trap with which the Republican party has for so long been fool ing the voters, will have to give way to questions of government of immediate concern tO our present and future welfare.
 With Woodrow Wilson as the standard bearer of the Democrat jc party, we will march on to a glorious victory under principles which mean much for the future veal of that large element of the people who are compelled iO tOil for their sustenancr.
 The intensity of feeling cngcu dercd during the past few days was but the forcrunnrr of the greater battle to be fought out at inc polls when Inc lcginnS of the privileged few will make their last stand before the charge of the great mass of outraged pro- pie.
 W0ndr0w Wilson will Dc the next president of the United StaleS, barring death.

blame for the failure of the
 American people to have proper
 respect for their vice-presidcnts
 Five former vice-preSidcnts o1
 the United States are living to-
 day and We venture the predic-
 tion that there are not five men
 in any state in the Union who can name them without consult ing reference books on political history.
 Explanation of the indifference iof the American people to their vice-presidents is found in the fact that these men usually are named for geographical reasons sometimes for financial req sons--instead of being chosen because of their fitness to fill the presidents chair.
 The truth of the matter is, the office of vice-president has prov ed itself time and again to br uf SO great importance that the light treatment to which it is subjected, even at this late day, must seem to the judicious for cign observer tO SavOr of the Shccrcst folly. Common prudence would dictate that the same care be taken in the selection of d vice-prcSidcntial. candidate by each of the two great parties than is taken in naming man for the pre-. idrnry, since of the ? prrSi- dents of the United States five me. reached the highest office by succession rather than by clcc-
 ion. This is true, nOtwithstand- ing that one of them was later elected regularly to Inc office. A pubic man may rightfully as pirr beyond the vicr-pr1Sidrncy but the man who performs lh" duties and lives up ln the dignity .uf the vicc-prcSidrncy is filling q part next to the highest with in the reach of the American cit izrn, and that is doing very well indeed.
 The vicc-prrSidrnl'S position could he made one of importanc" if there were more reasonable division of the duties of the pres idcnt. The vice-presidcnt, for instance, might be given full ex- ccutive control over the District of Columbia, national parks, the Civil Service and perhaps a half dozen other departments of gov crnmcnt that now demand so much of the presidents time. If il were understood, without any Constitutional amendment, that the vice-president was tO have some understudy part at the White House, the people would be quick to give more attention lo the character and qualifica- tions of the candidates named for that office.

SOME SIGNIFICANT STATES
 TICS.

William Howard Taft was nom mated for President by the Re- actionary Republican convention at Chicago, receiving 56i votes, or 2i more than the majority of delegates to the convention.
 Colonel ROosevclt's name was not presented to the convention. Senator Cummins was not plac- cd in nomination. The only Op- pOncnt of President Taft formal ly placed in nomination was Sen ator La Toilette. The official record of the roll call was:
 Taft .56l Roosevelt ...... lOI La Toilette. il CumminS ............ lO HuSncS ....''. '.''''''
 In other words, President Taft, running practically unOpposed, in a convention absolutely dOmlnat- ed and controlled by his friends, received 2i votes more than were necessary for his nomination.
 MT. Taft could not have been nominated had not the Republi- can national committee stolen 7e delegates that had been selected by the people who wanted Colonel Roosevelt nominated.
 It is believed, on the strength of this showing, that, if there arc no other candidates in the field in November, Mir. Taft may Dc clccled.--Tacoma Tribune (Rcp.)

BY JOSEPH E. BOSTON.

If | were asked whether Atlanta s
growth had been uniform in ali things
that go to make up a great city, I would
say that I thought her growth slightly
sided, with the dent indicating the
savings habit.
Fifteen years ago Atlanta had no
savings banks and consequently her
people had no opportunity nor encour-
agement 10 save The banks required
upward of $50 to open an account. and
because of this the working people Gull
tivated the spending habit
Today every issue of every paper
published in Atlanta carries invitations
from some Of the numerous banks to
start an account for 81 thus putting it
within easy reach of every man, wom-
an and child to save. In consequence
of this, thousands Of people have their
little nest eggs who otherwise would
not have saved a penny and the banks
of Atlanta have several millions Of dol
lars in their savings department be-
longing mainly to the working people.
This is a wonderful advance in less
than fifteen years, and vet. compared II
some other cities of the same size. we
have Just begun TO learn to save. There
are cities in the East no larger than
Marietta or Griffin that have as much
or more in their savings banks as we
have in Atlanta. Sifted down to its last
analysis, the reason for this difference
is in the savings habit Parents there
open accounts for: their children and
they are taught to save as a part of
their education. and this has been go
ing on for generations Let's all get
the savings habit" in Atlanta and
make this dent bump in our. city's
physical make up.

DAILY COTTON LETTEF

NEW ORLEANS, May 25.-Our market
lost about 10 points in the early trading,
but, as has been frequently the case in
the past, was soon pulled up by the firm
ness in the Northern market. The an
nouncement from Washington that the
bureau report on June will also give the
acreage brought further buying on the
market The opinion evidently prevails
that the report viii be made more bullish
by the acreage figures. The market was
also stimulated by report circulated in
New York that Secretary Wilson had
made the remark that acreage in over
flowed districts will be much less than
usual. We know nothing of this, but re-
fer to the bulletin of his department on
May IS to the effect that cotton may be
planted in overlooked districts as late as
June Is, with prospects of fair crop
under normal conditions thereafter, and
that the danger from boil weevil will be
much reduced.
without going far into details every
thing points to the existence of some
large bull interests in the market who
are making efforts to defend prices dur
ing this spell Of fine weather and rapid
crop progress. The markets next week
will be principally occupied with arrang-
ing interests for the bureau publication.
AS the June condition report deals
principally with the condition Of land. a
opinion placing 1t under 10. against S7.S
last year and a ten-year average of 81.5.
Five minutes before the close Washing
ton again corrected the publication of the
bureau report, and says only condition
report will be issued on June 4 the acre
age report TO be issued in July.

Fridays cotton market advance was
looked upon as thing of custom and not
to be too seriously regarded by shorts,
there was. in the opinion of men who

first place, professional bears who are all
loaded with favorable crop reports, argu-
nents and data, seem not inclined to
start the avalanche which they so freely
predict The bulls are in the minority,
and as a result are looking for the pres
ence of speculative short interest, must
therefore be admitted Hence, the
promptness Of the market to steady up
after each heavy period particularly when
the talent finds TINS to analize the sta
tistics. During the week $4,000 bales
came into sight. as against 10000 in
1909, while 22l 600 passed out of sight,
against 1872, 900 in 1909. Until six weeks
ago the weekly into-sight movement ran
well ahead of 1909. Since then the move
ment has been running behind. the figures
for fine six weeks being, in 1909, $4,000
bales in 1912, 900. a relative loss this
year, during the period of almost 100000.
or IS, 900 bales. a week, under 1909. Dur
ing the same six weeks the Visible sup
ply of American cotton has lost ,064,O00,
or $4,000 bales more than lost in that
period in 1909. Spinners' takings contiil=
ue to run on a record scale and to date
amount to 1851 900. Thus it is shown
that while the into-s sight movement shows
a heavy relative decrease each week under
1899 the out of sight movement shows a
heavy relative increase over 1909, and the
season of 190S-09 established the previous
record weld and consumption.
