Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Trenton, N. J.-Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic party's nominee for president, was born in 1856 in Virginia, where he was baptized as Thomas Woodrow Wilson. He dropped the Thomas about the time he accepted his first book.
 MT. Wilson cannot, like many an of flee seeker, appeal to the sentimental ity of the public by an account of a self-made mans rise from poverty His father and grandfather were educat- ed men, prominent in their communi- ties and, though not rich, were able to give the aspiring young scholar liber- al education.
 It was not toward scholarship, how ever, that his earliest ambitions led him. While in college he resolved to become a public man. To that end he studied law and hung out his shingle. But his legal practice was not lucra- tive, and after IS months of it, he gave it up and with it, for years to come, his desire for office.
 His father, the Rev. Joseph Ruggles Wilson, moved to Georgia when Wood row was two years old and later preached in various churches in North and South Carolina.
 Entered College at 17.
 Young Wilson entered Davidson col lege at the age of IT, After two years, he entered Princeton, from which he was graduated in 1879. He then stud jed law in the University of Virginia receiving the degree or bachelor of laws in 1882. He received the degree of bachelor of philosophy from Johns Hopkins university in 1886, that ot doctor of laws from Wake Forest uni versity, North Carolina, in 1887, and | that of doctor of literature from Yale university at it's bi-centennial celebra. | tion. Professor Wilson occupied the position of adjunct professor of his tory in Bryn Mawr college and after ward was professor of history and DO iitcal reformery at West Ryan univer 1 sity. In 1890 he became professor oi l Jurisprudence and political reformery at Princeton. In 1895, the title of his chair was changed to that of professor of jurisprudence.
 Professor Wilson became the thir teenth in the roll of presidents ot Princeton in 1902, and the first layman to hold this office, all his predeces sors having been Presbyterian clergy men. He is, however, a ruling elder in the Second Presbyterian church oi Princeton. As a professor, he was very popular and his elective classes always were among the largest.
 During his administration at Prince ton, Dr. Wilson made two attempts tc change materially the charter of the American education. In one project he not only failed but alienated the support of large body of alumni, ot many of the trustees and some of his eo-worker on the teaching staff

 for congress" said the speaker, con- menting over the result.
 No Complaint to Make.
 He had no complaint to make of the final break, but said that victory could have been his had the Under wood forces helped him on the tenth ballot and thereafter. He said Sena- tor Bankhead merely precipitated the inveitable. He seemed relieved that the strain was over and that he could retire from political life for a few weeks.
 Speaker Clark said he would not run for the vice presidency under any cir cumstances.
 q am not mad" he said, "but the vice presidency does not fit me. I am rough and tumble debater. I am more at home in the house. I would rather be member of that body than tied down in chamber in which I am powerless to participate"
 Diligent effort was made by the leaders in Baltimore to convince MT. Clark that he should accept the vice presidency, but it was to escape the importuning of friends that he return ed to Washington. Information was conveyed to him that MT. Bryan desir- ed to nominate him and that the nomi- nation would be made by exclamation. To all couriers, Mr. Clark gave the same reply and when he heard that the nomination was being considered in spite of his refusal he displayed some temper.
 Would Refuse Nomination.
 "Tell those people over there I will not take that nomination" he instruct ed the Associated Press, when told of the persistence of the movement.
 What will you do if they nominate you and adjourn?" he was asked.
 Refuse it. I tell you I don't want it and will not have it." replied MT. Clark.
 Earlier he reiterated the statement made for him by former Governor Dockery on the convention floor.
 "No set of men ever made better or braver fight for any man in this world than my friends all over the

 Clark CongratuIates.
 For time congratulatory telegrams poured in at the rate of 900 an hour. William J. Bryan called up by tele- phone. He told the governor he was happy, satisfied and wished him the victory he predicted would come in November.
 This message came from Champ Clark: Just leaving for Washington. congratulate you upon your hard earned victory and will do all l can to elect you"
 Other messages read:
 "Judson Harmon:

SKETCH OF WILSON'S LIFE

1 That project which did not succeed was to establish the "quad" system for undergraduates. It was resented by the alumni as an attack on the student club and the opposition became so strong thAt the president was asked by the board of trustees to withdraw his proposal.
 Exceptional Plan Succeeds. The successful innovation was the preceptional ystem. That called for the appointment ol 90 teachers or pre- ceptors to be added to the faculty at an increased cost to the university of $100O00 a year. But the alumni so thoroughly approved the plan that they told the president to go ahead and as- sured him that the money, for the sala- ries would be forthcoming.
 The plan succeeded. This precepto- rial system by which each student gets the benefit of personal contact with a teacher is referred to by the presidents admirers as the best thing he had done in the field ef education. l When MT. Wilson, after 9 years of service as an educator resigned the presidency of Princeton in 1910, to ac- cept the nomination for governor of l New Jersey there was a general ten deneE to look askanee at the school master in politics" However, he was carried into office on the radical anti Republican wave that swept so many states
 MT Wilson was elected by a plurality of 49,000 votes. He was the first Demo- cratic governor in New Jersey for 16 years. This brought the former col- lege president prominently into na- tional politics.
 What Platform Pledged.
 His platform pledged his party to enactment of a workmen's compensa- tion act a reform of election laws of the state, a corrupt practices act and public utilities commission bill All these measures were written into the statute books of New Jersey during the first year of Governor Wilson's term. While his success in obtaining the passage of these measures served to bring him more prominently before the nation it was his fight to obtain the election of James E. Maritime to the United States senate to succeed Senator John Kean. which probably focused the most widespread atten- ton upon the New Jersey governor.
 In his election speeches, Gov. Will son has given the pledge:
 "The people of the state will be the boss the only boss"
 When James Smith Jr, leader of the state machine" which nominated Gov. Wilson, let it be known after the, election that he expected the senato- rial toga, the governor espoused the cause of MT. Maritime, the candidate chosen in the popular primary. Gov. Wilson won his fight.
 Of New Jerseys 28 delegates to Bal Itimore A were pledged to Wilson.
