WILSON AND MARSHALL
RenOminated By AcclamatiOn By The
Democrats Platform Is Not
Ready, and Recess Till Today
Taken-Feature OF Days
Proceedings Speech
BY Bryan.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 15-President
Wilson and Vice President Marshall
we're nominated by reclamation to-
night by the Democratic National Con-
yention, the ticket being completed
four minutes before Friday.
Contrary to expectations, however
the convention did not finish its work
because the platform was not ready
and it will meet again at IL O'Clock
Friday morning A feature or the day
was a stirring Democratic speech by
William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, who
was received with great enthusiasm
II was announced in the convention
that the subcommittee drafting the
platform had finished its work, but
that the entire resolutions committee
was not assembled to pass upon it and
it was not known when that could be
done.
President Wilson's own plank
charging conspiracy among some for
eign-born citizens for the benefit OF
foreign powers and denouncing any
political party which benefits by not
repudiating such a situation, was in
corborated in the platform Just as the
President himself had sent il from
Washington. II was understood that
the President insisted that the plank
should be put in the platform the way
he had drawn II.
Never Doubt of Wilson
There never was any doubt of Presi-
dent Wilson's nomination tonight, but
there was a possibility that some vice
presidential 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 roar
ing chorus of reclamation.
