Among the Governors accomplish
ments he boasts a mastery of short
hand. He displayed his knowledge
of this today by making notes for
~dictation.. AS he wrote, leaning his
pad upon the arm of his easy chair,
lthe camera squad snapped him again
and again, and a moving picture mar
recorded his movements.

The flood of kilograms which start
ed Last night were still coming In
this afternoon, when more than 1000
had been received. Mr.. Wilson had
his secretaries busy all the morning,
replying to as many of these as could
be handled. Not a few of them were
without addresses and could not be
answered for that reason,
Governor Wilson slept late
this morsing after the ardu-
Gus days preceding his nomina-
ton. Visitors began gathering on the
lawn in front of the little White
House" before 8 O'Clock, however, and
nearly a dozen tents erected for tele-
phone booths and other accommoda-
tons sprang up on the green.
Besides the usual run of enthusi-
asts. many delegates returning from
Baltimore were expected at the Will
son cottage today. Texas delegates,
forty strong, notified the governor
that theySwould stop over at Sea Girt
on their way home. Practically the
entire New Jersey delegation Is ex-
pected, gand many delegates from
Pennsylvania and Tennessee are COM
ing.
The Governor retired last night
without knowing officially that Gov
ernor Marshall, of Indiana, had been
chosen as his running nate He was
told as early as II o'clock thai Gov
ernor Marshall had been nominated,
however, and although this report
was premature at the time, it was
confirmed by the conventions subse-
quent act. But when this action was
taken Governor Wilson was asleep.
Photographers are here by the
score and several moving-picture
oncerns have men on hand taking
every conceivable phase of the ac-
tivity h~ereabouts. One set of NOV
ing pictures was taken last night
while the Governor was moving
about the lawn with the newspaper
men before he retired.

nomination on the forty-sixth balloN

he continued. after the way IL
opened in the morning I did not think
it would come SO fast.
You must sometimes have Won
dered why l did not show more emo
ton as the news came in from the
convention and / have been afraid
you might get the impression that
| was SO self-confident and sure of
the result that I took the steady in
crease in the vote for me complacent-
ly and as a matter of course. The
fact is that the emotion a been too
deep to come to the surface. In
fact as the vote mas grown, and as it
has seemed more and more likely thai
l might be nominated I have become
more and more solemn.
II have not felt of this fight as il
it were a thing that centered on my
self as a person. The fine men who
have been fighting for me in Balti-
more I have not regarded as my
representatives. 1t has been the other
way all around. l have felt all the
while that they were honoring me by
regarding me as their Representatives,
and that they we're fighting for me
because they thought / could stand
for and fight for the things that they
believed in and desired for the
try.

Hopes Party Will Never Regret Choice.
The honor is as great as can come
to n man by the nomination of a
party, and especially under the cir
cu~stances. and ! hope | appreciate it
at its true value, but just at this mo-
ment l feel the tremendous RESPONSE
bility it involves even more than |
feel the honor. / hope with all my
heart that the party will never have
reason to regret it,"
No sooner had news Of Governor
Wilson'S nomination gone out than
a flood of congratllatory kilograms
began pouring in from every part If
the country. They averaged $50 an
hour.
The Governor also was kept busy
for several hours answering tele-
phone calls from persons who wished
to pledge their support, William
Jennings Bryan telephOned Just
after dinner and was in conversation
with the Governor for fifteen min
utes. Mr.. Wilson afterward would
say only hat the Nebraskan had ex-
tended his congratulations.
