IL Platform Adopted.

Baltimore, July 3.--For president
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jer'
sey.
For vice president Governor Thomas
r. Marshall of Indiana.
This ticket was completed at the
Democratic national convention at l:5t
a. m. to-day.
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey was made the presidential nom
inee of the Democratic national con-
vention at the afternoon session yes
terday, when on the 46th ballot, he re-
ceived 900 votes TO S4 for Champ Clark.
The Missouri delegation, which had re-
mained faithful to Clark to the end
then moved that the nomination be made
unanimous. There was a great chorus
of approval and the long fight was
over
The nomination of Governor Marshall
for vice. president came as something OF
a surprise, for when the nights ballot
ing for vice. president began it seemed
that the Bryan Wilson contingent in
the convention had definitely settled
upon Governor John Z. Burke of North
Dakota.
There was not much of fight, how
ever, and when two ballots disclosed
Marshall easily in the lead Governor
Burke's name was withdrawn and Mar
shall proclaimed the nominee by ac-
clamation. A minute later the conven-
ton had adjourned sine die. The dele
gates worn and weary, made their way
out of the convention hall singing and
happy to be started for home.
The convention became love feast
last night when it met to select run
ming mate for Governor Woodrow Will
son The intense bitterness of the past
week seemed to have disappeared.
When the convention suspended, the
regular order of business, the nomina
tion of viee-presidential candidate,
shortly before eleven o'clock TO make
way for the reading and adoption of
the platform, six candidates for vice
president had been placed in nomination
They were: Governor Burke of North
Dakota; Governor Marshall of Indiana;
Elmer w. Hurst of Illinois; Martin j.
Wade of Iowa; James w. Preston of
Maryland and Champ Clark.
The suggestion of Champ Clark for
second place on the ticket was the fea-
ture of the evenings performance. The
sentiment of the convention was strong
ly in favor of giving the speaker the
place if he would accept it. Fl. II. Dean
of Georgia placed Clark in nomination.
The Clark leaders held excited confer
ences and the speaker himself was called
on the telephone.
Despite a speech by former Governor
A. M. Dockery of Missouri withdrawing
Clark's name, and telegraphed state
ment from the speaker himself declar-
ing he would not take the place, the
convention was still hopeful of his
final acceptance
Governor Burke of North Dakota seem
ingly was backed strongly for the sec
ond place. His name was roundly cheered
when it was placed before the conven-
tion.
The first ballot for vice president re-
suited: Marshall, 3s9; Burke, 305 2-3;
Chamberlin, ISL; Hurst, II; Preston 5S
McCombs, Is; Osborne 0; Sulzer, 81
Wade, %; absent, 40 l-3
On the second ballot, the three lead
ers stood: Marshall, 40 l2; Burke 3s7
lB; Chamberlin, 45 l-2. No choice.
Marshall was then nominated by ac-
clamation.
