VIII Go Before the People for Re
election With the Slogan Of
Peace, Preparedness and
Prosperity.

st. Louis, June 15.--Just few min
ntes before midnight, President Wood
row Wilson and Vice-President Thorn
as X. Marshall were nominated by
reclamation by the Democratic ma
tional convention, the ticket being
completed just four minutes before
Friday morning.
The Democratic standard bearers
were selected before the platform had
been finally approved by the conven-
ton, and II was found necessary to
hold another session on Friday for the
approval of the platform, which 1t is
understood had been approved by
the president before he was nomi-
mated.
There never was any doubt OF Pres
ident Wilson's nomination, but there
had seemed to be a possibility that
some vice-presidentia booms 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 Wilson's nomination
had been made by roaring chorus Of

PRESIDENT CALLS
OUT STATE MILITIA
HUNDRED THOUSAND NATIONAL
ouARDsMEN MAY BE SENT
TO MEXICAN BORDER.
Militiamen viii Be Used for Border
Guard Duty In Order That More
Regulars May be Sent Into
Mexico II Necessary.

Washington.--Virt the entire
mobile strength of the national guard
OF all states and the District of Co
federal service on Sunday night by
President Wilson. About 100000 men
are expected to respond to the call.
They will be modified Immediately
for such service on the Mexican Dor
der as may later be assigned to them.
Frederick Funston, commanding the
border forces, will designate the time
and place for movement Of guardsmen
to the international line, as the occa-
sion shall require.
In announcing the orders, Secretary
Baker said the state forces would be
employed only to guard the border and
that no additional troop movements
into Mexico we're contemplated, ex-
cept in pursuit of raiders.
simultaneously with the national
guard call, Secretary Daniels OF the
navy department ordered additional
warships to Mexican waters on both
coasts to safeguard American lives.
AT the war, navy and state depart
ments 1t was stated that no new ad.
vices as to the situation in Mexico had
come to precipitate the new orders.
Within the last two weeks. however,
tension has been increasing steadily.
The crisis presented by General Car
rams note demanding the recall of
General Pershing's expeditionary force
has been followed by virtual ultima
tum served on the American officer by
General Trevino. Mexican commander
in Chihuahua. To this was added the
possibility that American and Mexi-
can troops had clashed across the Dor
der from San Benito, Texas.
Administration officials made no at
tempt to conceal their relief over the
safe return of Major Anderson's cav
airy squadron to the American side of
the border.
The troopers crossed In pursuit OF
bandits in the face of limitations that
they would be attacked IL they did so.
General Funston himself reported that
he anticipated fighting. presumably
with Carranza troops.
Mobilization of the national guards
men to support General Funston's line
will pave the way for releasing some
10000 regulars for immediate service
IN Mexico in the event of open hostili.
ties with the Carranza government.
The guardsmen themselves could not
be used beyond the line without au-
thority of congress and until they had
volunteered for that duty. as they ore
called out under the old militia law.
The new law. which would make them
available for any duty under the fed
eral government goes into effect

PRACTICAL RESULT IN RUSSIA.

Since the prohibition of vodka the
price of labor in Russia has gone up
in remarkable manner. says Prof. ].
Y. Simpson In the British Weekly.
The peasant banks are full of money"
he tells us, loans have been paid Off,
and agricultural implements pur.
chased on the installment plan have
been bought outright. Having sup
piled themselves with gramophones
and watches and new clothes, the
peasants now employ their money in
buying land and even securities, or
starting little businesses. One hundred
million roubles per month used to be
spent on vodka; today it remains in
the economy of peasant life. On all
hands. the people demand that it shall
be panished forever. The last speech
heard in the duma was that of a peas
ant delegate insisting that the perma-
nent prohibition of vodka be embodied
in legal enactment now"

thronged all Monday afternoon with
patriotic paraders. who marched to
the various public Offices, led by

States, but will know how to do her
duty IL hostilities are forced upon
her."

You see this roll of bills? II con-
tains twenty thousand dollars In cash
(the exact amount of revenue paid by
the saloons of your town.. You see I
now put this twenty thousand dollars
down in Mr. Jones left-hand pocket
Now, shall give anyone here one
hundred dollars in gold who will prove
to this audience that Mr.. Jones Is
not exactly twenty thousand dollars
richer than he was before. All, see
no one is foolish enough to claim this
one hundred dollars.
What's that? VIII explain how I
can afford to be so generous? With
pleasure.
You see, while you were watching
me put twenty thousand dollars into
Mr.. Jones' left-hand pocket, was busy
taking this other roll here out of his
right-hand pocket. Now this larger
roll contains two hundred thousand
dollars (the amount of money received
by the saloons of your town from your
citizens every year,. And so you see
that Mr.. Jones, instead of being twen-
ty thousand dollars richer than he was
before, is really one hundred and
eighty thousand dollars poorer.
Strange you didn't notice that" you
say. Not at all. You see, made so
