Wilson Named on Forty
Sixth Ballot as Candidate
!. for President.
Baltimore, Nd, July 3.-For presj-
dent. Governor Woodrow Wilson. Of
New Jersey; for vice president, Gov.
Thomas r. Marshall Of Indiana. This
was the ticket completed by the dem
cratic national convention at 1855 a.
m. today. The nomination Of Gov.
Marshall for vice president came as
something Of a surprise. When to-
nights ballotting for vice president
began 1t seemed that the Bryan-Wil-
son contingent in the convention had
definitely settled upon Governor John
E.. Burke Of North Dakota.
Their was not much of a fight, how
ever. and when the two ballots dis
closed Marshall easily in the lead,
Governor Burke's name was with
drawn and Marshall was proclaimed
the nominee by reclamation. A min
ute later the convention had adjourn
ed sine die. The delegates, worn and
weary. made their way out Of the big
big convention hall. singing and hap
py to be started for home.
Governor Wilson vas nominated at
the afternoon session on the forty
sixth ballot. and his nomination. like
that of Gov. Marshall tonight, was
quickly made unanimous. The best
~ foolfN~ ~Oo1volloS - L>AA
and h delegates seemed to be in q
happy frame Of mind.
MI. Bryan had announced his in
tention of introducing a resolution in
effect discharging the national COM
mittee from the conduct of the COM
ing campaign. and allowing Governor
Wilson to appoint his own campaign
committee. He was dissuaded from
this course. and instead of making
strife. he made a little speech which
he termed his "valedictory," and in a
happy vein turned over the mantle Of
his former leadership as a presiden-
tial candidate to Governor Wilson. He
pledged his faithful support to the
presidential nominee. and ended by
urging that either Governor Burke or
gon be nominated for vice president.
The Nebraskan was understood par
tfcularly to favor Governor Burke as
the type Of modern progressive. When.
after h first ballot. some one moved
to make the nomination Of Marshall
unanimous. Mr.. Bryan started for the
stage to make a statement. the motion
was withdrawn before he could speak
When the motion was renewed after
the scond ballot. Mr.. Bryan did not
protest.
