It calls for protest against delegates aligned with these financiers, urging colleagues to reject a nominee bound to their interests. Balloting shows Wilson leading, Clark near, until the forty-sixth ballot when Wilson secures the nomination with 999 votes and Indiana’s Thomas R. Marshall is named vice president.
