JKMOCIlAT8 MAKE CHOICE ON
46TH BALLOT.
After Lon Content Fobs and Under
wood Withdrew Clark's Men
Darted StendilyIHInoU
Made Break.
Baltimore, July 2. On the 48th
ballot Governor Wilson wai nomin
ated by the Democrats for president.
HIa victory waa presaged when the
43d ballot was taken soon after
meeting at noon.
Wilson who bad only 430. on tbe
4gnd ballot last night Jumped to
602 while Clark fell back from 494
to 329. The Illinois delegation held
a raucus and decided this morning to
go to Wilson, and this with some
scattering votes made the change.
On the 44th ballot Wilson Jumped
to 629 and Clark .dropped to 308.
On the 45th Wilson had 633 and
Clark still 308. Underwood wlch
97, Fobs with 27 and Harmon with
25 were the only followers.
The audience and delegates were
wild and amid cheers that almost
drowned the announcements , Fobs
'and Underwood were : withdrawn.
Then it was all over and on the 46th
.ballot Wilson was nominated.
The happiest man amid tbe 25,000
In the Armory was Mr. Bryan who
single-handed has forced the nomina
tion of Wilson. But for his deter
mined stand and his resolution
against Ryan, Belmont and Morgan,
the nomination would have gone to
Clark last week.
The nomination of a vice presi
dent will be made and tbe platform
adopted tonight and the weary dele
gates will start home.
.How It Happened.
After Underwood and Fobs re
leased their delegates withdrawing
. in favor of Wilson the crowd knew
what would happen.
Reed and Francis of Missouri held
a conference and Reed announced
that Clark's delegates were released.
Fitzgerald of New York moved
that Wilson be named by acclama
tlon, there was one big howl of Joy
and the nomination was made.

Baltimore, July 2. Woodrow Wit
son reached the coveted 500 mark on
the 39th ballot. He held bis precari
, ous position through the 40th ballot
' Then he began to slip, On the next
ballot be dropped below the half thou
sand mark.
Opponents of the New Jersey man
greeted the decline of his vote with
cheers. "Good-bye, , Woodrow,'! wai
shouted by Clark men.
Many are predicting that . WJson,
, trsvlng malls 21s VPttrt arm farterx t
land ths prise, will now drop back
into ths ruch with Clark. The convention-wise
are watching the back
tretcb for ths flash ot ths expected
"dark horse." .
Gave ans Took Away,
j Michigan gave Wilson his biggest
boost Then it handed him his hard
est Jolt The Wolverine stats took 15
votes away from Clark early la ths
elbt and gave them tq ths governor.
That failed to start a stampede, and
tm lis 42d. baUrt Michigan cxvejck
Vfe Ibr President- y)7i
SI of fhe"l5"to Clark:- following
this National Committeeman Wood
announced that on the next ballot the
majority of ths delegation would de
Bert Wilson. .
The reactionary lines are holding
with unexpected firmness and the
looked for breaks In Illinois and
Washington have not materialized.
It was drip, srip, drip all day and
early In the night for Wilson with as
steady a slipping away from Champ
Clark. Throughout the early part ot
the night, there were no big breaks,
except one of 15 in Michigan. But the
speaker would lose one vote In one
state and two In another, while Wil
son would make virtually the same
gains.
Early In the day the Jumps were
larger, but later the changes settled
down to two or three or four to a
ballot.
Clark started with 469 in the morn
ing and it was not until the ninth bal
lot of the day, tbe first taken in the
evening session, that his vote had
Bettled to 433, but then the decline
seemed impossible of being stopped.
Climbing Was Slow,
At the same time Wilson, who had
started at 406$. had gradually accu
mulated strength. On tne first ballot
sf the evening, the 39th or tne con
vention, he had reached 494. "Four
more ballots, however, were required
to put him over the 500 mark.
The convention became nervous as
the balloting proceeded. The Clark
men kept hearing reports that Illinois
was on the point of breaking away,
and every time that the chairman of
the delegation shouted "Clark 58", a
round of applause came from the
speaker's ranks.
Cheers greeted the first important
break of the evening when Michigan
increased Its Wilson vote from 12 to
27. '
Telegrams continued to pour In on
the delegates urging the nomination
of the New Jersey governor.
Clark Back In Baltimore.
Clark came to Baltimore In a motor
car from Washington. He went to
the home of Mayor James H. Preston,
where he remained until a late hour
at night and then returned to the cap
ital. Mayor Preston has a well or
ganized boom for vice-president. Ths.
purpose of Clark's visit to the mayor
Is not known, but until It was known
that he had left the city the crowd in
ths convention refused to give up
hope that he would appear and start
something. '
There was a disposition early In the
evening to believe that a candidate
might be nominated. That hope went
glimmering after the Underwood
forces, following a poll of their dele
gates, announced that, they would
"stand pat" and Illinois, which had
been reported as wavering, decided
that it would not change from Clark.
The slow, vacillating rise and fall
of the vote of favorite candidates
throughout the day had increased the
steadily growing bitterness of the last
week, and at night a match of offense,
touched to the excitement, would have
set the entire convention ablaze.
It was on this situation that many
leaders based hopes of a final vote
and a nomination before the night
waa over. They argued that the weary
delegates, tired by a week of work,
would break from tbe hard and fast
lines they have been holding and
throw enough votes to one of tbe can
dldates to end the agony of suspense,
Delegates In. Bad Humor.
:As the night wore on and ballfiL af
ter ballot waa" raven witnotu result,
the temper of the delegates grew
worse. Every shifting vote, every
demand for the poll of a delegate
awakened the bitterness that lay be
neath the proceedings. Hisses, half
hearted cheers and Jeers greeted ths
few changes in each succeeding bal
lots. , This1 spirit was also shown at times
la ths audience, and the police were
forced to remove offenders who bv
came Involved in quarrels.
Ths length of aha da4lock is now
problematic ' "....
The Clark men say that they can
and will prevent the nomination of
Wilson. They say that while he may
reach 660, that figure will bs his ab
solute bigh -mark and ' that,' ones
reached, Wilson, like Clark, will slide
back. '
The Undorwood forces are likely to
hold the balance of power for 24
hours. They have lost only two ot
the solid delegates, they being ths
Florida delegates who broke away. .
- The leaders all agreed at midnight
that ths deadlock was still very much
In force and apne would Tent&re any
Missouri Delegation Displayed a Ban
ner Which Infuriated Bryan.
THREE FIST FIGHTS AT ONCE
Howling, Angry Mob, Finally Brought
Partly to Order Police to Arrest
Ntxt Man Entering Hall
With Any Banner.
Baltimore. July 2. At ths close of
tbe 33rd ballot of the Democratic con
vention late In ths afternoon a num
ber of Missouri delegates arose and
unfurled a long white streamer upon
which wss painted:
"I have known Champ Clark . 18
years. He is absolutely Incorruptible
and bis life Is above reproach. Never
in all of these years have 1 known him
to be upon but one side of a ques
tion and that was the side that repre
pnted ths DeoDle W. J. Bryan in
1910."
The display was the signal tor Clark
demonstration that started at 4:25
o'clock. 0
"Take It over where Bryan can see
it." called 'a delegate. 4Take It to
Nebraska."
Tbe men with the banner marched
to the left side of the hall and Bryan,
pushed by a crowd of friends and
aided by the police, rushed angrily to
the stand.
"Take It Away."
"Take lt-away,"-was all he would
flv. Hla face was red with rage. He
complained to John E. Lamb of In
diana, who was in the chair, of the
Indignity. A riotous scene followed.
"Fold up that banner," commanded
the sergeant-at-arms
"Roll it up," chorused a crowd that
mounted the speaker's stand and
stood on the tables. Bryan came back
down the steps from the platform and
became the center of a pushing,
shouting demonstration-mad mob that
almost swept him from his feet. Foi
six minutes the demonstration naa
raged when Bryan saw the futility 01

In the stand in less than a minute
Police charged down the stairs of

on the tables of the press tyand
and the excitement was intense. Ol

heated statement of his position to the
gallerles and then announced the vote.
While he announced it Bryan stood
by his side, looking for an opening for
a speech. Theodore E. Bell of Call
fornia. who came behind him to ask a
question, got the floor.
"The gentleman from Nebraska rises
to a question of personal privilege,
said the chairman. "He will state it.
Then the chair will decide wnetner ne

PUT ROADS IN SHAPE
FOR DENVERITES.
With the coming of the Denver
tourists through Dickinson county
next week the agitation for good
roads has been renewed. Those who
are interested in the matter feel that
the reputation of Dickinson county
for good roads will In a measure de
pend upon the condition he tourists
find the route through here when
they arrive. After the recent rains
the roads will need dragging and it
is probable that the drags will be
busy putting the roads in fine con
