SDENOCRATS AGAIN ' NOMINATE WILSON President and Vice President Are Named by Acclamation Just Be- fore Midnight. PLATFORM IS NOT REPORTED Coliseum, St. Louis, June 16— esident Wilson and Vice Presi- lent Marshall were nominated by ac- mation last night by the deocratic tional convention; the ticket being ompleted four minutes before Fri- ontrary to expectations, however, e convention did not finish its work ecause the platform was not ready d it will meet again at 11 o'clock riday morning. ‘There never was any doubt of Presi- jent Wilson’s nomination tonight but there was a possibility that some vice presidential nomination booms might be brought out in opposition to Vice ‘President Marshall, Throws Speech Away. They melted away however, when the convention got in session and as soon as President Wilson's nomina- tion had been made by a roaring chorus of acclamation, Senator Kern, who renominated Mr. Marshall, cast aside a long prepared speech and sim- ply declared: “I nominate Thomas Riley Mar- shall of Indiana for vice president.” To President Wilson’s nomination there was only one dissenting vote, Robert Emmet Burke of filinois, who came to the convention announc- ing that he was opposed to the presi- dent. His vote technically made the president’s nomination 1,091 to 1. The democratic convention recon- vened shortly after 9 o'clock tonight with the announced purpose of re- maining in continuous session until it had renominated President Wilson and Vice President Marshall, adopted a platform and transacted all other business that brought representatives of the party to St. Louis. All the vice presidential booms ex- cept that of Governor Major of Mis- souri had been effectively killed off by President Wilson’s announcement that he desired the renomination of Mr. Marshall and he only remained to receive the complementary vote of Missouri. There apparently was no doubt that he would be with- drawn after a complimentary - ballot had been cast and that the renomina- tion of Wilson and Marshall would be made unanimous. ‘When the gavel fell calling tonight’s session to order John W. Wescott of New Jersey, who nominated President Wilson at the Baltimore convention, was ready on the floor to deliver the speech of re-nomination; Senator ern of Indiana to re-nominate Vice President Marshall, John H. Atwnod of Missouri to deliver the speech nom- inating Governor Major for the vice presidency. Morehead Withdraws. William B. Price of Lincoln, Neb., was to have nominated Governor Morehead of Nebraska, but while the convention was assembling, however, it became known that the Nebraska delegation planned to withdraw the vice presidential. candidacy of Gov- ernor Morehead. The delegation ex- plained that the president had not asked the re-nomination of Vice Pres- ident Marshall when they brought out their governor’s candidacy. Governor Major of Missouri said of the gavel long enough to hear the prayer and then renewed its demands for a speech from Bryan. Chairman James admonished the galleries. Senator Thompson then moved a suspension of the rules to permit Mr. Bryan to speak. When the motion was put there were some “noes,” but the chairman ruled two-thirds had voted favorably. A committee headed by Senator Kern of Indiana escorted Mr. Bryan to the speaker’s place, while the floor and galleries roared their approval. au as “one of the leading citizens of the world, . and America's greatest democrat.” Then the roll of states was called for nominations. New Jersey and Judge John W. Wescott nominated President Wil- son. Judge Wescott spoke Applause was given t- Judge Wes- Mexico, and quiet.

As Judge Wescott closed with a mention of the name “Wo..drow Wil- son” the crowd broke into a great demonstration. Moving picture flashlights blazed and flags were paraded in {ront of the stand.

Chairman James yielded the chawr during the demonstration to Repres- entative Heflin of Alabama. Women | delegates were among the paradess in the aisles. Senators and representatives helped carry banners. Senator Hughes per- sonally bore the New Jersey flag. After the demonstration had been under way 30 minutes, New York and some other delegates resumed their seats.
