AN ORIGINAL WILSON
man IS s. W. ROGERS
LOCAL A T TORN PICKED
NEW JERSEYITE AS FAVO-
RITE OVER A YEAR AGO.

No man in Conway was more jubi-
liant over the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson than S. W. Rogers, a local
attorney, who has been one of his
staunchest supporters, and who can
probably claim the distinction of be-
ing the Original Wilson man" here.
In April, 1911, before he moved from
Washington, d. c., to Conway. Mr.,
Rogers, in lengthy letter to the Log
Cabin Democrat, pointed to the New
Jersey governor as his favorite for
the nomination, portion of his com
munication being as follows:
If not Mr.. Bryan, who then can
lead the hopeful Democracy to vic
tory? In my opinion there is but one
man who can successfully lead both
wings of the party. Mr.. Bryan may
be called the John the Baptist of his
party. He is the forerunner, preach
ing civic righteousness, and has pre-
pared the way for another great re-
former He is not greater than Mr.
Bryan, however, but by a combina-
tion of circumstances Governor Will
son rather than Mr.. Bryan, seems to
be the logical candidate. He is the
one man around whose standard all
factions of Democracy can unite. On
the political horizon he is newcom-
er, and has therefore made no dang
erous political enemies. AS governor
of the trust-ridden state of New Jer-
sey, he has already made record not
surpassed in the history of any state

BREAK COMES WHEN ILLINOIS
DROPS CLARK ON FIRST
BALLOT TODAY.

Woodrow Wilson, governor of New
Jersey, received the Democratic NOM
ination for president on the forty
sixth ballot at 3:15 o'clock eastern
time) this afternoon, receiving $50
votes out of possible 1893, or more
than 80 per cent Of the total vote.
The long deferred break came on
the first ballot taken this afternoon.
Illinois, which had been voting SOL
idly for Clark, turned to Wilson with
its 50 votes. The New Jerseyite made
substantial gains in Connecticut, Ida
no, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Mich
igan, North Carolina, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and
Hawaii
On the 43rd ballot Wilson received
602 votes, gain of 108 over the 42nd
ballot taken shortly after midnight.
Clark fell to 329, loss of 101. I'm

WILSON INCREASES IN
LITTLE ROCK FAVOR

Little Rock, July Among those
who have returned from Baltimore,
wearied by the long vigil for the
nomination of Taft's successor, are
Senator jeff Davis, o. C. Ludwig,
State Treasurer J. w. Crockett, j. H.
Harrod and Secretary of State Earle
Hodges. Chancellor E. O. Mahoney
is Voting Senator Davis proxy. The
people of Little Rock are clustered
constantly about the bulletin boards,
in constant attendance upon the
boards of strategy, and the nomina-
tion would have been settled long ago
had it been left to them. AS the Will
son strength increases in Baltimore,
there is a growing sentiment in his
favor here, and less confidence in the
nomination of Mr.. Clark.

of New Jersey proves his ability to
put his theories into practice. HIS
Democracy is decidedly of the DR.
gressive type. He believes in the
twentieth century application of JEFF
fersonian principles. He is clear.
logical and Illuminating as public
speaker, and withal he is a southern
gentleman and a scholar. He is free
from political alliances. Despite the
fact that he has been classed as
Cleveland Democrat, his public acts
have so committed him to progressive
measures that Mr.. Bryan could i'll af-
ford to withhold his enthusiastic sun
port.
The hopeful Democracy must make
no mistake in the choice of the leader.
1t might go further and do worse il
1t should choose Speaker Clark. It
could hardly do worse than to choose
Governor Harmon. 1t could do moth
ing worthier of it than to choose Mr..
Bryan. But the only sure, safe, sane,
and worthy leader of the reunited
hopeful Democracy is Mr.. Woodrow
Wilson, governor of New Jersey.

ON 10TH BALLOT WOODROW
WILSON Is NOMINATED

ed Ia for Wilson and IL for Clark.
Illinois held caucus before the
twenty-seventh ballot was taken. on
the subject of breaking to Wilson,
but decided to "stand pat" for Clark
for the present.
The twenty-seventh ballot was en-
livened by an attack upon William J.
Bryan by John B. Stanchfield of the
New York delegation, who declared
that mo candidate can 90 from this
convention stigmatized with Bryan
ism and come within a half million
votes of election"
The deadlock in the convention
seemed more complete than ever
when adjournment was taken at
:43 o'clock a. m. until noon today.
Woodrow Wilson had made steady
gains throughout the Monday ballot
ing, until he reached a high water
mark at sol 1-2 votes on the 39th
ballot. He remained stationary on
the fortieth ballot, but began to lose
ground. The last ballot was the 42d
when Governor Wilson polled 494
votes.
Speaker Champ Clark reached the
lowest ebb of his candidacy on the
ballot where Wilson reached a crest.
He went lown to 422 votes at that
time, but Immediately began to pick
up and had gone to 430 when ad-
journment was taken.

With NOMINATION

The first news in Conway of Will
sons nomination was flashed to the
Log Cabin Democrat at Las this af-

Service of Little Rock, and spread
over the city with lightning rapidity.
That the choice of the national con-
vention was a popular one here was
easily determined by expressions of
local Democrats. Even the strong
supporters of Champ Clark seemed
glad that the suspense is at last over,
and cheerfully declared they would
support the ticket.

Woodrow Wilson, governor of New
Jersey, took the lead from his chief
opponent, Speaker Champ Clark, on
the thirtieth ballot for the Democrat
ic prudential nomination taken by
the national convention yesterday af-
ternoo.
Wilson had started the day with
407 l2 votes on the twenty seventh
ballot as against 463 l-2 for the
speaker, then gained slowly, but
steadily.
The vote on the thirteth ballot
showed Wilson AGO as against Clark S
ass.
The announcement that they had
taken the lead caused the Wilson sup
porters to start an uproarious dem
onstration and then the leaders re-
doubled their efforts to get Illinois
into line for Wilson. They boasted
that, if they could get Roger Sullivan
and his men lined up, they could
stampede the convention for the New
Jersey executive.
Vermont switched to Wilson amidst
applause in the thirtieth ballot. The
entire state vote previously had been
cast for Foss. Iowa, which had pass
ed so the delegates could confer, vot-

The 45th ballot showed additional
gains by Wilson and losses by Clark,
Wilson lacking less than so votes to
win the nomination.
Immediately after the 45th ballot
had been announced, with the conven-
ton in a wild uproar, Senator Bank
head mounted the platform and with
drew Representative Underwood from
the race, announcing at the same
time that Alabama's favorite son
would not accept the nomination for
the vice-presidency.
Then the long -harassed and rapidly
depleted Clark forces crumpled up
and went to pieces. Before the roll
call on the 46th was half done it was
seen that Wilson was sure to win.
Arkansas, which had stood firm
and voted Is for Clark for As ballots,
went to Wilson. California followed
suit. New York swung her big 80 to
the New Jerseyite. When the roll
call was finally announced Wilson
had $50 votes, Clark retaining Mis-
souri's sc, Nevada's s G and few 9TH
er scattering votes.
Immediately after the last ballot
the convention adjourned until 8 p.
M, when the nomination of a vice
president will be taken up.
Governor Marshall of Indiana was
the man most talked of for vice presi-
dent among the delegates, and was
considered possible that he would be
nominated on the first ballot.

No Cascaret User
Ever Has Headache
A 1O-cent box will keep your
liver, stomach and bowels
clean, pure and fresh
for months.

Sick headache, biliousness, dir
xiness, coated tongue, foul taste
and foul breath always trace
them to torpid liver, delayed fer
menting food in the bowels or
sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the
tntestines, instead of being cast
out of the system is re-absorbed
into the blood. When this poison
reaches the delicate brain tissue
It causes congestion and that dull,
throbbing, sickening headache.
Salts. cathartic pills, oils and
purgatfye waters force a passage
way for day or two-yes-but
they don't take the poisons out
and have no effect upon the liver
or stomach.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse
and regulate the stomach, remove
the sour, undigested and ferment-
ing food and foul gases, take the
excess bile from the liver and car
ry out of the system all the de-
composed waste matter and poi
sons in the intestines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning.
They work while you sleep-a 10
cent box from your druggist
means inside cleanliness and a
clear head for months. Ask any
of the millions of Cascaret users
If they ever have headache.
