No action waa taken on a vice presidential candidate and nothing will be done until after the nomination of the Nebraskan to head the ticket.

The opponents of Bryan had hoped to beat him If he failed to be nominated on the first ballot, but the action of New York ha* made certain that nomination. To the New York delegation realty belongs the credit of the nomination on the first ballot. The opponents to the Nebraskan made a motion to seat the Guffey delegates and polled 387 votes, showing that Bryan would lack ten votes of the required two-thirds.

A chance to enforce a child labor law In Georgia was made possible Thurs day by the senate when that body re considered 11s action of Wednesday In falling to pass the bill of Senator Been, at the Fifth district. This bill provides that all births and deaths be reported to the ordinaries of the various coun tics of the state. The bill failed to pass Wednesday when It received less than a const! tutlonal majority. At the opening of Thursday's session Senator Deen moved for a reconsiders tlon. and this was carried. Altho Georgia haa a child Ibbor law prohibiting the working of children, It ha* been pointed out time and again— even by mill officials—that the state menta of parents must be accepted ae to the ages of children. And It Is fur ther pointed out that parents willing for their children to work .will not hesi tate In giving their ages above the legal limit. Senator Deen's bill makes It a mis demeanor for failure to report births and death* to the ordinaries, and wilt make possible an accurate record of vital statistics all over th# state show ing Just how old prospective mill hands are. While many eltle* have systems of vital statistics, there Is no provision whatever for such records outside of municipalities. The btHTwIII come up later on for passage or rejection.

By JAMES 8CHERMERHORN. Special Correspondent Hearst News 8ervice. DENVER, Colo., July 9.—The re markable nlnety-mlnyte demonstration that exhausted the time and physical endurance of yesterday afternoon's session of the Democratic national con vention was an unparalleled tribute In Its prolongation and tn Its heartiness, but It was-not for th# eyes of three great Democratto leaders. One was Senator Gore, the sightless orator from Oklahoma, whose ringing report of how the new state rejected the counsel of Taft and accepted the advice of Bryan evoked the hour and a half of swelling acclaim. Another was the pictured features of the late Grover Cleveland In Its frame of mourning, around which the accent# of adoration of a new leader swirled In ever Increasing volume. The Sage of Princeton recked nothing of the noisy acclaim that was once for him and now for one who comes after him. The third chieftain whose vision caught nothing of the hurrah of .the colorful, seething scene was the man whose exaltation waa celebrated In this pandemonium of praise, the farmer of Falrvlen, In the quietude of his coun try place, 500 miles from this laudatory turbulence. \_ s As the thousand-throated salute rose and fell with all the gay grouping of state standards around the candidate's picture and the crashing of bands and bearing aloft of banners one’s mind was drawn irresistibly to the comparison of the clamor here to the quietude there aqd to the contemplation of the power of leadership that haa sent Inspiration from the rural scene to the prolonged shouting of thlsfoyat multitude.
