DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
STEADY GAIN LAST "a HOURS.
Clark Gave Way Tuesday Afteroon
Leaving Field Clear for Wilson.
Gov. Marshall Cf Indiana,
For Nice-President.

The balloting at the Democratic
National convention came to close
at o'clock D. m Tuesday, when
Speaker Champ Clark, seeing Will
sons steady gain and the hopeless
ness of his own nomination, with
drew, leaving the field clear to his
successful opponent, Woodrow Will
SON
Mr.. Wilson is a college man, one
of the country's most famous edu-
cato-s. id 20 pC ssess bread and rS-
gressive ideas. He was the choice
of Mr.. Bryan, whose influence had
virtually controlled the convention;
one of the most notable conventions
in the history of the Democratic
party.
There was one roceedure in this
convention without precedent: The
platform was postponed until after
the nomination of a candidate. Whils
this offers the advantage of building
platform to suit the candidate, it
also takes away The o d glory of hay-
| ing been nominated upon an accept
ed platform, every plank of which has
been previously discussed and ap-
proved. and upon which the candi-
date. if elected, is pledged TO stand
squarely in the administration of
government affairs.
The lineup of the two old pari
4 is now made, with William Howard
Taft. who has a record of a goo d ad-
ministration to his credit, on one
side, and Governor Woodrow Wilson,
the Democratic choice, on the other.
Aside from possible tariff meddling,
the country would be safe with
either.
| Mr. Wilson was nominated on the
10th ballot Missouri stayed wi1h
Clark even after his name had been
withdrawn.
Gov Marshall of Indiana was
nominated for vice president, he re-
ceiving the necessary number of
votes over half-a- dozen other can
didates on first ballot. Bryan's
name was prese nted for yice-presi
den but he declined.
