Ad Appeal.
To the Democrats of Houston
County:
The present campaign for demo-
cratic nominations is now in full
blast and the time will soon be here
when every democrat must register
his choice for these nominations
from Governor to Constable. The
undersigned are not especially con-
cerned in this address with any
office except that of District Judge,
but we, are very much interested in
the race for that office, and there is
every reason why, not only we, but
every democrat in this county,
should feel a particular pride in the
selection of the nominee for that
exalted position. And this reason
is doubled, and even trebled and
quadrupled, when it is remembered
that we have a distinguished son of
our own county who is an aspirant
for the place.
Judge Albert A. Aldrich needs no
recommendation from us to the de-
mocracy of Houston County. He
was born and raised here and has
never lived anywhere else. His lot
has been cast in, with and among
us and we all know him and know
his character and his fitness for the
office to which he aspires. We also
know that there is not a blot to be
found against his good name and
that he is in every way entirely
worthy of the support of his home
people. We know him to be a first-
class gentleman, an upright citizen,
a true democrat, a scholar of excel-
lent attainments, a splendid lawyer
and a devoted Christian.
This being true, and so true that
no man can truthfully deny it, why
should not the democrats of this
county rally, AS ONE MAN, to his
support and do all in their power to
nominate him, and by thus honor-
ing him honor ourselves and our
county? It behooves us all not to
underestimate the value and the
importance of its being filled by a
strong, capable and impartial man.
Upon him, in a large sense, rest the
lives, the liberty and the property
rights of the people, for the admin-
istration of the laws coming within
his jurisdiction must necessarily be
subiñitted to his judgment. This
is a great responsibility and the
people cannot be to careful in whose
hands they repose the exercise of so
great a trust. We believe that we
can safely risk it in the hands of
Judge Aldrich and that his "home
people" should leave no legitimate
effort unexecuted whereby his
chances of success may be promoted.
Houston^County has not been hon-
ored with this office for a number
of years and her people now have
an excellent chance to/receive that
distinction and it is hoped they will
not fail to profit by it To that end
we beg to urge ALL democrats,
whetherfprohibitionists or anti-pro-
hibitionists, and whether they are
Ramsey men, Colquitt men, Shep-
pard men, Wolters men, Wilson
men, Clark men, Harmon men, or
any other kind of men, not to get
the District Judgeship mixed up with
the scramble for these other offices,
not to allow the prejudices growing
out of the same to bias their judg-
ment with reference to the inter-
ests of Judge Aldrich. The office
to which he aspires should be non-
partisan, and petty, personal politics
and acrimony have no place in Us
candidacy. It is fortunate for the
people of this county tint they can
offer to the peefrfe ofthls Judicial
THE NEXT PRESIDENT
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey Nominated by the Dem-
ocratic National Convention for President of the United
States on the Forty-sixth Ballot.
Baltimore, July 2.—Woodrow Wil-
son was nominated on the forty-
sixth ballot at 3:15 p. m.
The final break to Governor Wil-
son as the nominee for president of
the United States came in the na-
tional democratic convention this
afternoon at the beginning of the
forty-sixth ballot. Wilson had re-
ceived 633 votes in the forty-fifth,
with only 725 1-3 necessary to
nominate.
UNDERWOOD WITHDRAWS.
Senator Bankhead of Alabama
quickly withdrew Underwood, Sen-
ator Stone of Missouri, on behalf of
Champ Clark released all Clark dele- after the balloting to
gates, at the same time saying Mis- nomination unanimous.
p. m. when Pennsylvania cast its
vote to him, making his total at
that time 733.
MADE IT UNANIMOUS.
Governor Wilson had received 990
votes. He was nominated. Sena-
tor Stone of Missouri moved to
make the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson unanimous. This was done.
Bryan was the center of interest
as Wilson's nomination became
certain. He said that he had want-
ed most of all the nomination of a
progressive.
California stood by Clark to the
last, but announced it would move
make the
souri would vote for him to the end.
FOSS ALSO OUT.
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston with-
drew Governor Foss from considera-
tion.
By this time it was apparent that
Wilson would win on the forty-sixth
ballot, and the convention was in
an uproar, delaying the call for a
long time.
TAMMANY TO THE FRONT.
Fitzgerald of New York moved
that the nomination of Wilson be
made unanimous; that the roll call
be dispensed with and the nomina-
tion of Wilson be made by accla-
mation.
REED OBJECTS
Senator Reed of Missouri inter-
posed objection to New York's un-
animous consent to have Wilson
nominated by acclamation.
The convention then rose and a
frenzy of cheers swept the floor and
galleries. Delegates stood on their
chairs waving hats and flags.
PENNSYLVANIA DID IT.
Wilson was nominated at 3:15
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
Chairman James formally declar-
ed Woodrow Wilson the nominee
for the presidency of the United
States at 3:30 p. m. There was a
demonstration.
VICE PRESIDENT NEXT.
The convention adjourned until 9
p. m., when nomination for vice
president will be made.
A tremendous demonstration fol-
lowed the announcement of Wil-
son's nomination by acclamation.
Cheer after cheer swept the hall and
was taken up by the crowds out-
side.
HENRY IS MENTIONED.
After the nomination of Wilson
the next order of business, the nomi-
nation for vice president. Pronji-
nently mentioned were Governor
Marshall of Indiana, Governor Burke
of North Dakota, Representative
Henry of Texas and Senator Kern
of Indiana.
SOMETHING OF WILSON.
Woodrow Wilson was born
Staunton, Va., on December 28,
1856. He is the son of Dr. Joseph
R. Wilson, a Presbyterian minister,
and a grandson of Judge James
Wilson, an Irishman of Scotch de-
scent, who migrated from County
Dawn to Philadelphia in 1807.
James Wilson prospered and be-
came manager of the Aurora, a
leading democratic journal, Phila-
delphia then being the national cap-
ital.
It was at Steubenville, Ohio, that
Joseph Ruggles Wilson, the father
of Woodrow Wilson, was bora on
February 28, 1822. He was the
scholar of James Wilson's family.
Jefferson College graduated him as
valedictorian in 1844, after which
he taught school and prepared for
the Presbyterian ministry at the
Western Theological Seminary and
Princeton Seminary. In 1849 Jo-
seph R. Wilson márried Janet
Woodrow, daughter of Dr. Thomas
Woodrow, a famous Presbyterian
minister of the day, who was a de-
scendant from ancient English
stock. The Rev. Mr. Wilson became
the father of two daughters before
he was called as pastor to Staun-
ton, Va., where a third child, a son,
was bora and christened Thomas
Woodrow.
When Thomas Woodrow was two
years old his father took a pastorate
in Augusta, Ga., and soon became
one of the most noted ministers of
the South Thoroughly equipped
as a theologian, and a pulpit orator
of power, he early reached and long
maintained a position of much in-
fluence in his church. When the
civil war broke out he embraced
at í the Confederate cause.
District a man of such high char-
acter and such eminent fitness and
qualifications for District Judge as
we all know Judge Aldrich possess-
es, and our appreciation of this fact
should be shown by giving him the
active, vigorous and UNITED sup-
port which he so justly deserves.
LET US NOT FAIL TO DO IT.
