National Conventions and the Wilson Nomination
J W Dixon recalls attending the 1912 National Convention in Baltimore's Fifth Regiment Armory. He notes the pageantry and crowd energy, laments flawed nominating methods, and argues for selecting presidents by vetted character and broad administrative ability rather than popularity or vote-getting. He cites Bryan, Baker, and the Wilson landslide as pivotal moments. Dixon signs off with his Urbana origins and Baltimore address.
