Before adopting a platform the
Democratic national convention In
Bt. Louie unanimously nominated
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, foi
preeldent of the United Btatea and
Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, foi
Tic* president.
Judge John W. Wescott, of lladdon
flel#, N. J., who made the speech noml
nattng President Wilson In Baltimore,
(our years mo, performed the same
aerrlce In k speech of remarkable pow
er.
Following Wilson's nomination, John
W. Kern presented to the convention
the name of Thomae H. Marshall (or
vice president.
Vance C. McCortnlck, of Harrlnbitrg,
head of the victorious Democratic re
organisation movement In I'enm>ylva
nla, was announced as Uie choice ol
Preeldent Wilson and the Democratic
national committee, for the most Im
portant post of chairman of the com
mittee.
The convention during the session
registered It* approval o( President
Wilson's eonduet of foreign affair h
which haa kept the country at peace
with one demonstration after another.
When Senator Ollle James, of Ken
tucky, aa permanent chairman, re
counted the diplomatic achievements
of the preeldent In the nogotlatlom
with Oermany, the convention launch
ed Into an elghteen-mlnute uproar ol
marching, cheers and waving of flags,
In which former Secretary of Btate
William J. Bryan, from his seat In the
prees eectlon, joined.
William A. Glasgow, of Philadelphia,
chairman of the committee on rules,
amaahed the silly conspiracy of St.
Louis politicians, hotelkeepors and
brewers to keep the convention at
.work until Saturday night.
Ifr. Olaagow'a chief contention was
that It would be Itnpoeslble to bold
the delegates and that It would be
poor politics to mako the nominations
.with empty seats. The New York dele
gation, he said, would leave for home,
ragardleee of when the nominations
were made.
A. Mltohell Palmer, of Stroudahurg,
fa., apparently baa won hla fight
•gainst Senator Stone to Insert In the
ftaUorm a plank declaring against the
•legation of the supreme court Juatlcea
to the prealdency.
The Pennsylvania delegation, acting
In caucus aa a unit, killed tha rancid

koteUteepera and brewers. Uiat It was
hurled down In the state cauruaes and
aot brought up In the" convention.
When the roll waa called for noml
nations for president, Alabama yielded
to New Jersey and Judge Wescott step

At tbe conclusion of Judge West
Mtt'eepeecb tha delegatea and tha

The supreme Issue of today In
American politics and American lift
lg the "aasertlon and triumphant d»
monatratlon of the Indivisibility of co
herent strength of the nation," accord
Ing to the platform. Stripped of tbe

Americanism, or antl-hyphanlsm, and
the platform minces no worda In Its
ringing call for the aupport of this
principle. *

Reaching Its climax, the American
lam plank rises to the condemnation
of any political parly In America which
•urrenders It* Integrity or tnodlflea
tta policies in eichange for the voting
atrangth possessed by any auch un-
American clement.
United Slates troop# muat remain In
Mexico, the platform dcclarea, until tha
restoration of law and order therein
haa made Impossible the repetition of
bandit raid* Into this country and
other outrages. In the draft of the
plank concerning Mexico waa the sen
tence, "We court their good will and
aeek not to deipoll them," but thin
does not appear In the revlaod. text
Why It was atrlcken out la only a,
matter of conjecture outside of tbe
committee.
Intervention, it la declared, la re
▼olting to the American people, not
wlthatanding the groat provocation. In
connection with the Mexican policy,
Democratic adherence to the Monroe
doctrine is reasserted.
The European war Is tlio Inspira
tion for another pregnant declaration,
while the Democratic party has follow
ed tbe paths of neutrality. It Is set
forth that now conditions have made
It necessary for tbe nation to safe
guard its Interest abroad and In the
Interests of humanity to assist the
world In securing settled peace and
Justice. In thli connection a stgnlfl
cant passage promulgates the belief
that every people has the right to
choose the sovereignty under which
they shall live and that the amall
atates of the world must have their
rights respected.
The has come. It Is declsred,
for the United States to Join with the
other peoples of the world In any fea
albie association that will serve such
principles and maintain inviolate the
of the highway of the aeas
tor the common and unhindered use
of all the natlona. These principles,
bearing as they do on contentlona held
forth by both aets of belligerents
acroaa the water, are conaldered con
sptcuoua for their neutral spirit.
Concerning preparedness that plat
form declares for an army fully ade
quate to the requirements of order and
aafety and the nation's righta, ade
quate aeacoast defence and the main
tenance of a reserve of cltlsens train
ed to arms, together with a fixed poli
cy for the development of a navy wor
thy to uphold the traditions oft the
United States aa well aa equal to the
International tasks of the nation.
The achievements of the Democratic
party under Mr. Wilson's administra
tion are pointed out. The new cur
rency laws, the federal trade commis
sion. tariff adjustment, labor laws, the
advance In the postal system and other
reforms and accompllshmenta are des
cribed with some detail.
Of the constructive legislation con
templated by the party Is named the
proposed non-partisan tariff commis
sion, which. It Is admitted, la made
necessary by the varied and far-reach
ing economic changes to be expected
throughout the world, chiefly as the
reault of the war. Thla is the "anti
dumping" clause which has been the
subject oC considerable dlacuaalon. The
