Here's a telegram that reached the
Minnesota delegation from the flour
belt of Minneapolis: stick to Will
son all summer. If needed, we'll give
you -four" The delegation held a brief
caucus and wired back (collect):
Change the flour to dough"
West Virginia visitors got up a COM
mittee to visit Bryan and tell him
that Ex-Governor MacCorkle was mot
speaking for the state" when he at
tackled him.
The experiences of the Baltimore
convention should make it all the
more evident to the party managers
that the conventions of the party
should hereafter be strictly confined
to the membership of the body and
the working members of the press.
Gov. Wilson when he allied him
self with Bryan in the fight on Alton
B. Parker for Temporary Chairman,
incurred the hostility of many of the
conservative leaders and delegates.
The Sergeant-at-Arms and his as
sistants on the floor and the police
were utterly unequal to the proper
discharge Of their duties.

WOODROW WILSON NOMINATED
FOR PRESIDENT BY DEMOCRATS
Governor of View Jersey Wins by Acclamation in the
Convention at Baltimore.
LONG DEADLOCK BROKEN ON THE FoRTY-SIxH BALLOT

The Armory, acknowledgements
Woodrow Wilson, of New jersey, was
nominated by reclamation as the
Democratic candidate for President of
the United States by the National
Convention here amid thrilling scenes.
GREATNESS silence when, at the begin
ming of the forty-sixth ballot, Senator
Bankhead, of Alabama, rose to with
draw Oscar w. UnderWood's name as
a candidate. The Convention was al
most too excited to cheer at the an
nouncement, which meant that Will
son had won, but there was an effort
at a demonstration which soon died
away as Senator Stone made his way
to the platform and announced that
Speaker Clark released his delegates,
but that Missouri would stick to him.
This brought a burst of cheering.
Woodrow Wilson made gains after
Illinois had switched to him in the
forty-third ballot. Other States split
their vote for Wilson, and he made
heavy gains. Following was the re.
suit of the forty-fifth ballot:
Clark, 306; Wilson, 633; Under.
wood, 81; Foss, 27; Harmon, 25.
Michigan came along with % bal
lots for Clark, and then Virginia cast
"a for Wilson. West Virginia next
came with sixteen for Wilson.
Illinois led the break to Wilson with
fifty-eight votes, cast under the unit
rule. Idaho with 1 IL votes, Con,
necticut with 2 votes, Iowa with 1 Il
votes, Louisiana with 2 votes, Michi
gan with 8 votes, Moth Carolina with
2 votes, Virginia with 20 votes and
Wisconsin,, Hawaii and Washington
with 1 vote each, followed the lead
of Illinois, and added the total oil
these net changes to the Wilson list
The Wilson people made a demon
stration in the hall when the resul
was announced.
When the roll call, without Mary
land, showed that Wilson had gained
ia votes and lost l on the vote, al
eyes went to Maryland.
eve demand the poll of Maryland
called the delegates.
The announcement of the result
was the signal for a short squirt of ap
plause from the Wilson side of the
house.
Mississippi which had solidly voted
20 votes for Underwood, hesitated fol
the first time on the fo%rty-fourth bal
lot.
When her name was called, thu
voice that had sung "20 votes for Os
a W. Underwood" since the openins
of the convention, asked that thu
State be passed while it held a eau
cus.
Pennsylvania changed her long
standing vote of "A for Wilson to {
solid n of rs. The change started
the applause again. Utah solidifieC
her vote and gave it all to Wilson.

Company store Fine Holds.

The Supreme Court affirmed the
verdict in the suit of the State Board
Of Health against the Whitall-Tatem
Company, of Millville. This concern
is a big glass company and also oper-
ates a company store. 1t was fined by
a justice of the peace for selling i'm
pure vinegar. Common Pleas Court
set the fine aside, because the inspec-
tor of the State Board of Health fail
ed to make an offer of part of the
seized vinegar to the proprietor of the
store. The Supreme Court, however,
held that the law had been complied
with, and that the fine was rightfully
imposed and should stand. The Court
also refused to pass on the constitu-
tionality Of the pure food act, because
the particular section attacked was
not designated.
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-07-05

The Wisconsin vote, which had
been divided, was also thrown en-
masse to Wilson. Mississippi's vote
was awaited with great interest. When
she refused to change and chung to
Underwood there was handclapping
in the Alabama delegation.
The break to Wilson came with a
rush after three ballots, in which Gov
ernor. Wilson's vote went up with
conclusion of the forty-ffth ballot,
Governor Wilson's nomination became
a matter of minutes.
As the roll for the States started
over again on the forty-sixth ballot,
Alabama led off as usual with twenty
four votes for Underwood, and then
there came a sudden halt. Senator
Bankhead, of Alabama, manager of
the Underwood campaign, mounted
the platform and withdrew the nomi-
nation of his candidate.
On behalf of Mr.. Underwood he
thanked the delegates who had sup
ported him for four days of weari-
some balloting and then withdrew.
The tide which had been rising with
great swiftness for the New Jersey
Governor was 10y topping the 726
needed to nominate if the Underwood
men voted for Wilson, and Senator
William j. Stone, of Missouri, appear
ed to release Champ Clark's dele
gates.
Senator Stone said that the Speak
er released his delegates, but added
that Missouri would remain loyal to
her favorite son until the last hope
was gone. He said Missouri would
support the nominee, no matter who.
Mayor Fitzgerald, of Boston, hur-
ried up to announce that Massachu-
sets delegates, who had been voting
for Eugene N. Foss, voted for Wood
row Wilson. The landslide was on
with a vengeance.
MI. Fitzgerald moved that the roll
call be dispensed with and the nomi-
nation of Wilson be made by acclama-
ton. The roll, however, was called
to record a final testimonial to Champ
Clark.
The last ballot resulted: Clark, "a,
Harmon, II, Wilson, $50.
Then came the shouts to make it
by reclamation, and cheers shook the
armory where the wearied 1888 had
been in session for a week with four
days of balloting.
A demonstration followed the nomi-
nation by reclamation. Delegates
paraded about in the hall, shouting
and throwing their hats into the air.
and the most important work of the
Democratic Convention of 1912 was
done.
The Baltimore Convention was one
OF those great gatherings which one
may witness but ono in a lifetime if
at all. The kind of a political gather
ing whose like has never before been
witnessed in this country.

Abandoned by Boy on Hands.

A 4-year-old boy was mysteriously
thrust upon the care of Mrs. Fred
Waltman, of Millville, when a comely
woman stranger called at the home Of
Mrs. Frank Powell, a neighbor, and in
duced her to keep the youngster until
Mrs. Waltman returned from church,
under the plea that she wanted to look
up a friend meanwhile. The woman
left and has not been seen since. The
police have learned that the woman
boarded an electric train for Camden.
The boy says his name is Jacobs, but
does not know where he is from, ex-
cept that it required all night and all
next day to arrive here on the train.
Mrs. Mailman believes that the child
is a relative of hers from Virginia, and
that the child was adopted by a family
by the name of Jacobs when its moth
er died two years ago. She is at a
loss to know what to do with the boy

II was a battle of political titans-

It was a battle Of political titans-
two men-William Jennings Bryan,
three times the standard bearer of
the party, and Charles F. Murphy, the
recognized leader of Tammany, prob
ably the most remarkable political or
g~anization this country has ever
known.
No sooner had Cardinal Gibbons,
clad in the rich robes of his churchly
Office, pronounced the final words of
the opening invocation or Tuesday
noon, and the battle was on.
Mr.. Bryan's nomination of Senator
Kern for the temporary craftsmanship
in opposition to Judge Parker, the
choice of the national committee, was
but a feint. When Mr.. Kern, taking
the speakers platform. pleaded for
Democratic harmony, AID proposed to
Judge Parker that they both retire in
favor of any one Of half a dozen men
whom he named, Mr.. Bryan scored
his first tally. He had the opposition
on the defensive for a time at least.
When Judge Parker declined to re-
spond to Senator Kern's proposition
the Senator retired and named Mr..
Bryan for temporary chairman, a
move that was wildly welcomed by
the New York delegation, as Mr.. Muir
ply was more than willing to try con
illusions with the Commoner on a di-
rect issue.
The surprise of the day was the
throwing of the Clark strength to
Parker, and it was that incident, hap
pening within an hour after Chair
Mack's gavel had called the conven-
ton to order, that produced the dead
lock when the balloting for the nomi-
ness began early Friday morning.
The defeat of Col. Bryan for the
temporary Craftsmanship was a mo-
mentous event for the Democratic par
ty, and the leaders and rank and file
of the party knew it when it occurred.
1t was no longer a contest between
candidates. 1t was to the bitter end
between Mr.. Bryan and MI. Murphy.
Both had accepted the guage OF battle,
and there would be no compromise.
The change in the party alignment
brought many surprises to the lay
man. Among them the swinging OF
Theodore A. Bell, of California, tenn
porary chairman of the Denver con
vention of four years ago, to the Muir
ply forces. Mr.. Bell led the opposi'
ton to Bryan, and did not hesitate il
demanding that the Nebraskan, tc
whom the Democracy had given three
opportunities, now step aside. and per
nit other leaders to shape the course
of the party.
After the vote ex-Gov. Patterson oil
Ohio, expressed the feelings of many
of the old leaders who had that day
voted against Bryan, when he said:
sary though it was, was an occasion
for tears rather than cheers. He has
been and is a great man, but he has
had his opportunity, and must now
step aside"
Among the leaders for the various
candidates, the Clark forces instantly
realized that if the Speaker was tc
win he must do so in spite of Mr.
Bryan's opposition, The Wilson lead
ers knew they would have Bryan's
support, but would it suffice? Leaders
of other candidates were wondering
what form the alignment would take
when the deadlock between Clark and
Wilson should be broken.

Among the replies to the letter Of
Mrs. Frances F. Cleveland to the boys

your kindness" Another scholar sup
poses that Mrs. Cleveland never had
the educational advantages that l have

My chief regret in leaving grammar
school-if l do leave-is that I think
| will have harder lessons than I now
have. Otherwise I am very glad that
I am rising in education" One letter

(Specal Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-Defnite steps looking to
the establishment of a central bureau
of information for the farmers of the
vicinity with a farm expert in charge,
were taken at a meeting held in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce.
In attendance at the gathering were
representatives of the Chamber of
Commerce, the Mercer County Board
of Agriculture, and various oranges.
]. F. Allison, of the Mercer County
Board of Agriculture, was selected as
president and c. Arthur Metzger, sec
rotary Of the Chamber of Commerce
secretary. A. G. Reeves was chosen
treasurer. 1t was arranged that

County one-half Of the salary, travel
ing and other expenses of maintaining
the proposed expert and office would
be raised, while the remaining one
half of the cost will be paid by the
United Safes Department Of Agricul-
ture. 1t has been pointed out that the
establishing of a farm expert will be
of inestimatable value and help to the
farmers, it being the object of the sta
ton to bring to the tillers of the soil
the result of experiment stations and
general work along the line of scien-
tifc farm management. The expert
will visit the farmers individually and
make suggestions of the best systems
of farming, including crop rotations,
farm practices in the culture of crops,
the use of fertilizers and also to con-
duct the work on the extension plan.
The object of the experts work in fact
will be to impart to the farmers all
knowledge of results with different
farmers cooperating and the informa-
ton obtained from experiment station
practice.
Educational Welfare.
The experts will also be interested
in the educational welfare of the farm
er, and especially the sons and daugh-
ters of the local agriculturists. Dur
ing the winter season the expert will
give talks in different communities.
These addresses will be made in
school houses or Grange headquarters.
In this manner the farm expert will
act as a counselor for the agricultur-
alists and the farmers will be free to
consult him at any time for informa-
ton. Chairman Allison named the fol-
lowing committee on ways and means:
