both were vigorously cheered.
Shortly afterward two special trains
arrived from New York, bearing the
members of the national committee
and the notification committee. They
were cordially greeted by President
Wilson.
Scores of policemen and detectives
were on hand to maintain order among
the thousands who came from all parts
of the country for the ceremonies.
The luncheon given by the Presi-
den to the members of the national
and notification committees was an
informal affair and aside from the
committeeman there were few invited
guests.
Hello, Boss" cried Secretary Nc
Adoo upon sighting National Chair

President Wilson formally accepted
his denomination here with an address
recounting the legislative record of
the Democratic party, a vigorous de-

With the members of the notifica-
ton committee headed by Senator

Lawn, the Summer White House, the
President declared the Republican

The future, the immediate future,
will bring us squarely face to face
with many great and exacting prob

ready to play the part in the world
that we mean to play" he said. ut will

the moment the war in Europe is over.
They will be new problems, most of
them; many will be old problems in
new setting and with new elements
which we have never dealt with or
reckoned the force and meaning of
before. They will require for their
