Baltimore. Md, July 3-Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, was
made the presidential nominee of
| the democratic national convention
when on the forty-sixth ballot this
afternoon he received $50 votes to
"a for Champ Clark
The Missouri delegation which re-
mained faithful to Clark to the end,
then moved that the nomination be
made unanimous.
There were great cheers of ap-
proval and the long fight was over
Only four ballots were necessary
today to reach the nomination.
When the convention adjourned last
night the situation seemed in a hope
less deadlock. Wilson had begun to
lose ground and Clark made few
temporary gains. This encouraged
the speaker to rush over to Baltl-
more from Washington this MORN
ing in the hope of still further turn
ing the tide and rallying his forces.
When he reached here, however, he
learned that the Illinois delegation
at. an early morning conference had
decided to switch to Wilson.
This meant a change Of SO votes,
and was as fatal to Clark's chances
as it was inspiring to Wilson's
forces Illinois was expected to
break yesterday, and there was deep
gloom in the Wilson camp when it
failed to do So
The vote of Illinois when the con-
vention met today at noon marked
the beginning of the end. West
Virginia joined hands with Illinois,
and on the first ballot today Wilson
jumped from 494 on the final ballot
last night to 602.
The most important change in the
next ballot, the forty-fourth, was in
the Colorado delegation which di-
vided ten to two in favor of Wilson.
The ultimate nominee gained 27
votes on this ballot. On the 45th
ballot Wilson gained four more and
Clark held his own.

1t was 3:35 when Chairman Ollie
James officially declared Governor
Woodrow Wilson the nominee. An
attempt was made to start a demon
stration but the delegates were too
tired to keep it up long.
Then, too, the local appropriation
for the band had run out and there
was no inspiring music to help the
enthusiasm. In this respect the
nomination was unique.
The convention then adjourned
until p. m. to permit conference

What Does 1t Profit?

Those in the best position to know,
say more than $5oooo,ooo is taken in
by Texas liquor dealers annually. Less
than $I,ooo,ooo of this goes to Texas
in license fees For every dollar Tex
as receives in fees, she pays out at
least $40 for prosecuting disorder and
crime, produced by saloons. Where
is the profit to Texas from the hnan-
cial standpoint? Who furnishes the
$4,000, 1000? Drinking men, their
wives and children. Who gets the
oney? Saloonkeepers, brewers,
wholesale dealers and distillers What
are they doing with it? Increasing
their enormous fortunes and main
tanning state and national political
machine to control state and national
politics. Who represents that ma
chine in Texas? Col. Wolters, Cover
nor Colquitt, John L. Workman, many
other saloon candidates, papers and
politicians. What can be done about
it? Defeat saloon candidates, smash
ing the liquor machine, and adopt con-
stitutional prohibition How and
when can that be done? By e1ecting
Judge Ramsey, Sheppard and other
anti-liquor machine candidates this
year, and the submission of a prohibi-
ton amendment in the near future
This will turn $5o,ooo,ooo into con-
structive channels of trade and Texas
will bloom as a rose-Exchange.

Great care is taken by the American

all that it should be. The advertisers
have put their announcements into the
Issue with firm faith in its power to
attract patronage. The ADVERTISE

sential part of that publication, and
the advertisers should receive the pat

Metuchen, Aug, 28:-Since 1t has
been doing business the Metuchen
Gas Light Company, whose principal
owner is said to be former United
States Senator John Kean, Of Eliza

what you use and for no more"
Suddenly people began getting
bills with a minimum rate charge
marked on them. The result has
been considerable complaint.
Truman Pierson, local manager
for the company, gave but little in
formation except that the action was
deemed advisable by the board of
directors. Councilman Harris B.
Johnson and Leslie E. Molineux have
made objection to the minimum
charge On the ground that it is not
in accordance with agreement made
by the company.
1t has been asserted that the
whole matter may be carried to the
