Woodrow Wilson will be notified that
ne has been nominated for the presi-
dency by tho Democratic party at sea-
sirt at o'clock on the afternoon of
August :
senator-elect Ollie James. OF Ken
turky. who was permanent chair
man of tho Baltimore convention. ap-
peared to-day. and the date was ar
ranged In a Very short time moi
dentaliy. the visit of Mr.. James
brought forth several other important
facts.
one is that the tariff is held re-
sponsible for the high cost OF living
and other economic nusfortunes, and
this will be the main battle cry OF
tho Democrats this year, and n second
facts is that in the campaign chat
is to como a special object OF at
tack Will be Theodore Roosevelt and
his third party movement Senator
James himself is responsible for this
statement, and he summed up tho sit
uation when he announced.
Theodore Roosevelt Will be we'll
taken care of when the campaign
/ starts"
senator James. while disclaiming
any special knowledge on the subject.
I
ment can cut any important figure In
an aggressive democratic campaign,
hut IT must be aggressive, he insisted
There Will be nothing upon which
they can go to the country that will
not be advocated and meant by the
Democrats. If he calls for high tarin
he will be following conservative rem
resentation. and If he calls for low
tariff he will find himself using the
/ Wilson specialtV
| Nothing Left for Him.
| There viii be nothing left but his
/ interesting personality. Coincident
with the visit OF the Democratic CON
vention chairman was tnat of Theo-
dore y. Bell. OF California. who was
rampant Clark man. Mr Bell told
tho Governor that California would
work its best for Wilson. because IL
does not believe that Wilson had any
thing to do with the Bryan attacks
upon Clark. which he called outrage
GUS, and. further. that California does
not believe that Wilson stands for
Bryan or Organism. Ii California be-
lieved that, he declared, 1t would work
! for some other man.
The third important development Of
the day came in letter from Oscar
Underwood in which the Democratic
minority leader requested that the Gov
ernor let the House of Representctiv
know what ne would lige to have done
or what H. would like to have undons
between this time and Adjournment
| There is no doubt that the Democratic
belief in tho Wilson leadership at
the present time extends TO Congress
a. well as to every Other point In tho
/ Democracy.
Mr.. James arrived at Seagirt to-day
shortly after o'clock and left at 4,
after a two and "a half hour conferences
!

Mr. James. in discussing the CHAIR
nanshif Of the national conrrnittee.
said the commission should choose
man who was personally acceptable
to the Governor who in short ia the
Governors choice.
How about the third partyY" the
Scnator-elect was asked
u do not know. II does not seen5
a. II anynody knows what strength 70
will have Roosevelt Is strong cam
paener and he can only be fought by
campaign equally as strong, but
am inclined to believe that in any
event the three-corncrcd fight will be-
Tor tho benefit OF Governor Wilson. Is
Will ne q Eooi ndTd uEht with tho
tarif and the trusts as the big issue"
The Governor has resolved not TO
talk about national questions until
his speech OF acceptance. He init
mated that his attitude toward the
trusts Will be along two lines Tho
fist will bc us to the opportunities OF
the trusts due To the tariff and the
second VIII be the performances of the
trusts due to the trusts or ;heir Of
Goers.
With reference to the workmanship
OF the national committee. Mr. James
said:
The manager must be man who
Goes not make mistakes" William
f McCombs.' he added in reply to a
question. lis great organizer and a
man OF unusual executive ability"
Mr.. James told the Governor that
he had talked with Champ clark and
knew that Mr. Clark was strong for
Wilson. There is no doubt Us to
Clark's loyalty to this ticket Mr..
James said. nor as to the loyalty OF
any Of the defeated candidates for
the nomination. No Democrats are
sulkns in their tents this year"
During "A conversations tonight Gov
ernor Wilson was told wha, Mr. James
had said concerning Mr.. Mccombs.
"McCombs is undoubtedly every
thing senator James said he vas" re-
Piled the Governor lie managed the
campaign splendidly ] was told by
several OF the experienced leaders at
the convention that we had the most
wonderful Organization they had ever
that wc had no orgaIizatton at all.
