st. Louis, June l6 President VII
son was put in nomination this morn
ing at the Democratic national con-
yention, and wild scene of enthu-
siasm followed.
His nomination was by acclama-
ton. The nomination of Vice Presi

During the demonstration for the
president telephone wire connect
Ing the convention hall with the
White House enabled the president
and his party In Washington to hear
plainly the applause and cheering.
The acceleration of the work or
the convention was the result of the
delegates taking the bit between their
teeth and putting heir feet down On
one of the time -honored stupidities of
the national convention system, the
custom whereby a convention must
remain IN session for a certain num-
ber of days, whether it has any bust
ness to transact or not, in order that
the inhabitants of the convention city
may have chance to make a lot OF
money out Of the crowds.

Woodrow Wilson"
From that point on his approval OF
Wilson's tariff policy, his taxation
the currency law and 9TH

y enthusiastic applause.
With all the vim and force that he
as always shown as reform speak
r, Bryan threw himself into the
'ork. Perspiring freely as result
