Democratic Tick t.
Ticket Named By
Acclamation.

Coliseum, St, Louis, Mo,
June IT, President Wilson
and Vice. President Marshall
were nominated by reclamation
tonight by the Democratic ma
tional convention, the ticket
being completed four minutes
before Friday.
Contrary to expectations, the
convention did not finish its
work because tho platform was
not ready and IL will meet
again ut II O'Clock Friday
morning.
1t was announced in the con
vcntiou that the sub committee
drafting tho platform had
finished its work, but that tho
entire resolutions committee
was not assembled to pass up
on it. President Wilson's own
plank charging conspiracy
among some foreiGn-born citi.
zens for the benefit of foreign
powers and denouncing any
political party which benefits
and not repudiating such
situation, was Incorporated in
the platform, just as the Prcsi-
dent had sent it from Washing
ton, IL was understood that
the President insisted that the
plank should be put in the plat.
form in the way he had drawn
it.
Doubt Only as to Marshall.
There never was any doubt
of President Wilson'S nominn-
tion tonight, but there was a
possibility that some Vice Pres.
ideutial booma might be
brought out in opposition to
Vice President Marshall. They
melted away, however, when
the convention got in session
and as soon as President vii.
sons nomination had been
made by roaring chorus OF nc
clamation, Senator Kern, who
renoninated MIR. Marshall, cast
aside Il long prepared speech
and simply declared.
