this morning Governor Thom-
as Marshall. OF Indiana, was chosen
as the nominee for vice president
by the democratic National Con
ton. On the third ballot he was
chosen by acclamation.
The closing session was a love
feast.
Despite the crowd that hlled the
hall, the police regulations were
greatly relaxed. On the floor there
were almost as many women as
there were delegates.
The New Jersey delegates, enthu-
siastic over their afternoon victory
cheered Wilson and Bryan impartial
ly after they took their seats. Ihey
also sang pafodies on various popu
lar sons for both Wilson and CLARK.
In return a Missouri delegate from
across the aisle yelled:
The houn' dawg is tor wilson
now" Thereupon New Jersey
cheered Wilson buttons were PIN
ned on the lapel of the Missouri
deleslation and there was a general
lovefeast between New Jersey and
Missouri.
my Maryland
The Maryland delegation began
to sing Maryland, My Maryland,
and those on the floor and III the
galleries arose. A chorus OF songa
OF every kind followed and the con
vention seemed 20 have entered up
on long delayed ERA OF goou
feeling
The CLARK for vice tpresident
boom grew stronger despite state
ment by the Clark managers that
he would not accept the wee presl-
Dental nomination Frederick j.
Lynch of Minnesota, who was close
ly associated with the late Cover
nor Johnson of Minnesota, was also
mentioned as a vice presidential
possibility
The names of Governor Marshall
of Indiana, and Governor Burke OF
North Dakota were also heard IN
this connection.
William ]. Bryan entered the hall
while political and patriotic songs
were still being sung and they were
interrupted by the cheers that greet
ed Bryan
The Clark leaders held excited
conferences and the speaker himself
was called on the telephone. Des-
pite a speech Iby former Governor
DocNery of Missouri, withdrawing
Clarks name, read the telegraphed
statement from the speaker hln-
self declaring he would not take the
place, the convention was sun
hopeful of his final acceptance ana
one of the reasons for the suspen-
sion of the vote on the nomination
was the desire of the leaders to
make sure of Clarks position.
Governor Burke of North Dakota
seemingly was backed strongly Tor
the second place. His name was
roundly cheered when it was placed
before the convention.
Was a Love Feast.
The Democratic national conven-
ton became love feast when it
met to- select a running mate Tor
Governor Wilson.
The intense bitterness of the last
week seemed to have disappeared
When the convention suspended
the regular order of business-the
nomination of vice presidential
andidate-shortly before II o'clock
TO make way for the reading and
adoption of the platform six can
didates for the vice presidency haa
been placed in nomination. Ihey

kota. Governor Marshall of Indiana
Gilmore w Hurst of Illinois, Martih
] Wade of Iowa. James II. Preston
OF MARYLAND. and Champ Clark.
The suggestion of Champ ClarN
for second place on the ticket was
the feature of the evenings perfor-
nance. The sentiment of the con
yention was strongly in favor OF
giving the speaker the place II he
would accept it. H. II. Dean OF
Georgia placed Clark in nomination
and took the convention unawares.
