Chairman James pounded the table
with his gavel and f{inally quietd the
aproar. “Illinois, under the uait rule,
&scits 538 votes for Wilcon,” he an
;\mx.nced and another cheer greeted
the shift. This gave Wilson a clear
gain of 58 votes in Illinois. The New
Jersey governor continued to gain. In

When Kentucky was called and the
woce was announced 26 for Clark, one
af the delegates demanded:
“7 want to know if Kentucky can
wote for Wilson if a majority of the
detegates desire to do so?”
Governor McCreary, chairman of the
qelegation, argued that the instruc
done of the Kentuckians would not
aitew a break. The Wilson men did
aor press the point, although evident

The New York delegation had decid

Wher Virginia was reaeched. Sena
e Swanson arose to explain the

<aucus the delegation had decided to
amforee the unit rule for the first time.
‘Wilson had secured a majority of the
#2legation and the state’s 24 votes
xa2re cast for him,
This gave Wilson a gain of 108 and
Clark a loss of 10!. Underwood lost
five and a half. The announcement
of this vote started a Wiison demon
stration.
“Come on you Wilson!” shouted the
Jersey delegation, and they leaped to
their chairs.
The ballot left Wilson 124 votes
short of the necessary two-thirds te
nominate.

His vote was 629, a gain of 27 as
compared with the forty-third ballot.
Clark dropped from 329 to 306.
The situation led to the belief that
Wilson would be nominated on the
forty-fifth ballot.
~ An effort was made at the end of
‘the forty-fourth roll call by the Wash
iigtcn delegation to vote proxies on
a poll of that delegation. Chairman
James insisted upon maintaining his
position, formerly taken, that no
proxies should be voted in the .con
vention.

An appeal was taken from conven
tion, but the chair was sustained by
a roaring vote, which seemed almost
unanimous. :
The polling of the Washington del
egates showed that of the 28 dele
gaes, with half a vote each, absent,
citting Washington’s vote in the con
vention to 11 1-2. On the poli, eight

gates who i._cl..y piuyed a starding
engagement in Chicago had evidently
got the conventicn spirit running so
r:adly in wse.r olood that at their own
expense they decided to go to Balt

the Demccrats were going to do to

'lhey strolied into the bar at Nix
cn s atouc ninc oclock, when the res
teurant was practicaliy descrted.
They calied for drinks and the bar-
Leeper served them. Then one of
them, cmboldered by the first dis
play of courtesy, which they had ex
perienced in Daltimore, exclaimed to
his running niate:
“Supposiug we dine heah, Charles?
What do you say? It's too far to go
all de way back to de Belvidere, and
anyhow, after dose splendid meals
we had in the Pompeian room at .the
Congress in Chicago, the Belvidere
don’t somehow seem to fit my faney.
Ibid you notice that coffee thay had
amazement. But casunally, quite by
Why, it was muddy, yes it was; posi
tively muddy.”
By this time the bartender’'s mouth
was hanging wide and loose from
amazement. But casually, quite by
accident as it were, one of his eyes
rolled in the direction of the negro
head waiter of the dining room, who
was standing near by.
“Rufus,” said the bartender, “come
hither. I would speak with thee.”
Head Waiter Hands Out Kibosh.
Then in a lower tone he continued:
“Don’t miss this, Rufus. These two
colored gentlemen have just arrived
from Chicago. They're talking a lot
of rum stuff about the last days of
FPompeii and I think—ll say, 1 thinlk,
lufus, they are contemplating dining
here to see if our chef has got any
thing on Chicago.”
By this time the two negro dele
egates had sauntered into the almost
cempty dining-room. But in a moment
liufus was upon them. “Beg pardon,
sirs,” he said, “was either of you
gentlemen inquiring for me?”
“We've just drepped in fer dinner.
That's, 6f course, if you have no ob
jections.”
“Objections! My, ro sah, we don’t
have. no objections, cnly I regret to
say we have not got any empty

“What!” cried the other delegate,
furiously. “What's the matter with

“But dey is all engaged, sah] eve'y

vention.
the Tuesday night session the wild
applause was suddenly doubled. A
“whoop” arose that put to shame all
the previous cheering. The enthusi
astic cheer leader was more surpris
ed than any one else in the building.
As he excitedly stepped from one
writing bench to another in the press
stand his progress was checked. The
Wilson lithograph he had been waving
was dropped for a moment and then
the cheer leader was catapulted
through the air into the crowd below.
When the police had taken the mat
ter in hand, it was found that the sec
ond actor in this successful effort of
arousing the crowd was Arthur Bris
bane, chief editorial writer for Wil
liam Randolph Hearst. He objected
seriously to having his ‘“copy” walked
on and acted promptly. Later he said
he merely “boosted” the offender out
of the way.
Nobody knew why the time at which
the demonstration began was select
ed by the Wilson forces as the ‘“psy
chological moment,” but the evi
dences all pointed to a well laid-out
plan to storm the convention.
it began when a New Jersey dele
gate climbed into the press stand sur
rounding the platform. He was clad
in white flannels, and with arms
stretched to their fullest extent he
held a Wilson lithograph. This he
turned toward one side of the house

The end came in sight when, at the
beginning of the forty-sixth ballot,
Senator Bankhead of Alabama, mana
ger for the Underwood forces, mount
ed the platform.
“Mr. Chairman,” he began, “Mr.
Underwcod entered this ccntest hop
ing he might secure the nomination
from this convention. But I desire
to say for him that his first and great
est hope was that, through this con
test he might eliminate for all time
every vestige of sectional prejudice in
this convention. Mr. Underwood would
willingly forego this nomination if
the country has concluded that Ma
son and Dixon’s line has been tram
pled out and that it is once more a
thoroughly united country.”
Bankhead Speaks.
Senator Bankhead said Mr. Under
wood did not enter the race to defeat
any man and would not be party to
any suhc plan. FHis hope was that
what he had accomplished for the
Democracy would help to secure the
clection of a Democratic president
next November. He was for the par
ty nominee and always had been. Mr.
Underwood had taken no personal
part in the campaign and would have
no regrets.
Senator Bankhead said Mr. Under
wood would stay in the house and per
form “his great duties without com
plaint.”
“How about vice president?” called
a delegate.
~ “Vice president No,” shouted the
senator. “Do not take him from his
present post if you cannot elevate
him to the highest office. Vice presi
dent? No. Anybody can sit in the
vice president’s chair. Even [ hum
ble as 1 am, could sit there and say:
“The gentleman from New York
moves that we now _adjourn. It
would be a crime to take him from
his present duties, and I hope no one
will present his name to this conven
tion.”
Senator Bankhead’s action in with
drawing Mr. Underwood aroused the
ire of the Missouri delegation and to
ward the end of his remarks he was
constantly interrupted.’
How Governor Wilson Heard News.
Seagirt, N. J.—Governor Wilson
was seated on the veranda of the
“little white house” with Mrs. Wil
son and his daughters when he re
ceived the news of his nomination
from his managers.
“The honor is as great as can come
to any man by the nomination of a
party,” he said, “especially in the cir
cumstances. I hope I appreciate it
at its true value; but just at this mo
ment I feel the remendous responsi
bility it involves even more than I
feel the honor.
“] hope with all my heart that the
party will never have reason to re
gret it.”
Governor Wilson was posing for a
photograph with his wife and daugh
ters when he was informed that Un
derwood had withdrawn.
“Well, I declare,” said the governor,
“that will give me enough votes, if
they all go to me.”
Mrs. Wilson, whose native state is
Georgia; ‘said:
“The only thing 1 regret is that
Georgia did not vote for Mr. Wilson.”
