TIE NuMnEn Of BALLOTS.

Whatever the final outcome of the
Baltimore balioting Marthon. it is
a noteworthy fact that this convention
has furnished tho most spectacular
and protractcd struggle for Il presi-
Dental nomination that the Demo-
cratic party has had in forty four
years Not since 1865 has il required
more than five ballots to name a candi-
date. In that year twenty-five ballots
were takekn before decision was
reached. ON the final roll call. Ohio
gave twenty-one votes to Seymour.
Although these wcra the only votes
cast for him. before the result could
be announced Il stampede took place,
and he was nominated.
The New York World gives the
following interesting figures on the
duration of Democratic contests IN
the last nifty years:
I'm 1908 Bryan was nominated on
the iirst ballot. In 1901 Parker was
nominated on the first ballot. In 1900
Bryan WAS nominated on the first bal
lot. In 1896 Bryan was nominated on
the NTH ballot In the most turbulent
convention the Democratic party had
held since 1860.
In 1892 Cleveland was nominated on
the first ballot, and he was named on
the first ballot in 1855. In 1884. when
he was first candidate tor President
the second ballot determined the nom

1T LOOKS LIKE WILSON.

IT looks now like Wilson. The
Clark wave seems TO have reached its
height. and to be slowly falling. Mean
while the vote for the New Jersey
on principle is having its just effect
on the convention. With all thought
OF compromise and dark horses elm
mated. the delegates are turning to
the one man in whom they can put
certain faith Of victory next Novcm-
her. Private interests. political in
fuences, partisanship, are being sub
merged by the one overwhelming fact
that Wilson is the choice of the peo-
PIE and that Wilson can win.
If Wilson is nominated and the plat
form written TO support In uneQuivo-
cal terms the new Democracy. the
prospects for Democratic President
should be almost certain. If he is
selected after fair and open oppor-
tunity has been given by over twenty
ballots for each candidate to demon
strate his strength. he will represent
an undivided and militant party. lie
will be the unassailable choice of a
convention in which every other Just
claim has been recognized. lie will
demand the support OF Bryan. Clark
Harmon and every group of his party
lie will poll the full strength OF the
Democrats ana OF the Independents.
whose support Will decide the election.
lie offers candidacy that Is In every
essential progressive lie offers an
escape from the imperial ambition of
Roosevelt. and from tho inert conscr-
vatisin of Taft. lie will unite all fac
tions. He Will be the one American
candidate.
The immortal $50 delegates who
have stood fast for Wilson through
this conflict of a thousand interests
deserve the gratitude Of every either
of this land. They have demonstrated
by their determination. wisdom and
patriotism that the fearless faith OF
the fathers still holds fast to ctcrna
truth. No trucking to tcinporar!
