W00DR0W WILSON NOMINATED
For President on the 46th Ballot
Missouri Moves to Make it
Unanimous.
Baltimore, Md., July 2 Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, was made the, presiden
tial nominee of the Democratic
national convention at the after
noon session today when on the
forty-sixth ballot he received 990
votes to 84 for Champ Clark.
The Missouri delegation, which
had remained faithful to Clark to
the end, then moved that the
nomination be made unanimous.
There was a great chorus of ap-
irovi'L and the long fight was
over.
Oniy four baliots were ntces
Viry today to reach a nomination,
Vv'hpii the convention adjourned
last night the convention seemed
o be in a hopeless deadlo3k.
Wilson had made steady
gains, while Clark lost steadily.
Illinois had been expected to
4ibreak".all day yesterday and
there was deep gloom in the Wil
son camp when it failed to do so.

"A Warning."
i The Jefferson Standard Life
Insurance Co., of Raleigh, N. C.
for advantageous reasons has de
cided to move its offices t6
Greensboro, N. C.
To our mind this is the first
step toward a revolution in the
insurance business in the
South. The Jefferson is already
!the Dride of the South. Now
mark my prediction; Some future
year, not far distant, we will look
back over the organizations and
of your time. In a short while our
convention will be called and I
earnestly desire that the Demo
cratic party of this county will con
sider well what they do before
nominating a candidate for the
Senate to represent this District.
It is a well known fact that
what is known as the Progres
sives are in the ascendency in
this County. That is, the people
want a man to represent them
who is thoroughly in accord with
our principles, who is opposed to
trust, and who will stand up and
fight for things which will benefit
the masses, the farmers; and the
laboring man.
Who, better than Dr. E.XJ.
Tucker, will do this. You all know
him, have known him for years,
and he has always been, on the
right platform. He is not a can
didate, but lets nominate him
he's the man.

however, the Wilson forces went , records of our Southern compa-'

the firm belief that the New Jer- mind, they will convert them

second call of the day, the forty
fourth. The most important
change on this ballot was in the
Colorado delegation, which had
been voting 11 for Clark and 1
lor Wilson. This time Colorado
divided 10 to 2 in favor of Wil
son. Altogether tne ultimate
nominee gained 27 votes on this
j in the flesh of competing compan
ies and you will find some of
their small and unsrupulous
agents butting against the Jeffer

it was realized that there must be
Prided "break" in the Under

n the beginning, before any
:.in could win.
The forty-sixth ballot had been
tiered when Senator Bankhead,
: Alabama, was seen making his
'?.:; to the stage. Word flashed
over the great armory that his
,;::.'POse was to withdraw Mr.
"nderwood from the race and
lease his delegates to vote 'for
::iom they saw- fit. The dele
.. ues, wearied with the long ses
ns of the past week, realized
i at once that this was indeed
'.t climax. There was a confusion
cheering, applause and calls
:om one delegation to another.
he galleries caught up the dis
order and added to the din. Sen
ator Bankhead stood for a long
while before he could proceed.
He had uttered but few words
when the meaning of his remarks
became clear and there were fre
quent interruptions-6f applause
and noisy demonstrations, v "
each and every policy, says:
"The policy holders of the Jeffer
son Standard are absolutely safe,
each and every policy is protect
ed" yet some little agent who
doesn't know a twenty payment
from a straight life policy, will
very generously (?) advise you to
drop your Jefferson and Incident
ally suggest that his company
might (?) accept your application.
The above is not said in defense
of the Jefferson bui as a warning j
to its policy holders against the
hoodwinking of some unscrupu
lous agents. The Jetterson to
day is the tower of the South in
the Insurance world having in
1911 sold more insurance than
any other company doing busi

petitor being about two hundred
thousand dollars behind and she
