IMPRESSES GJ.
DELEGATION
J
They See Evidence Everywhere
That Missourian Leads—Arc

Still Loyal to Oscar.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
BALTIMORE. June 24.—The Geor
gia delegation, on the scene of the con
vention, has -been impressed by the
strength which Champ Clark is show
ing among the rank and file of the
hundreds of delegates around the ho
tels. While the delegation is bound to
vote as a unit for Oscar Underwood as
long as his name is before the con
vention. the Georgians were convinced
that present indications favor the Mis
sourian.
They have been shown the enthusiasm
with which Clark supporters are work
ing in the convention city, and have
gained a new idea of the strength of
the present speaker of the house.
Georgia Delegation
Arrives 2 Hours Late.
The Georgia delegation arrived in
Baltimore two hours late this morning
’but happy. Immediately upon arrival
the delegation was called to meet at
the Belvedere hotel, where Hon. James
Flynt, of Spalding, one of the dele
gates, presented a handsome silver lov
ing cup to National Committeeman
Clark Howell. Mr. Howell responded
in a speech of deep appreciation.
The Georgia delegation is to be seat
ed in the convention hall near the mid
dle right between New York and West
Virginia.
Tom Felder Is here, but Tom Watson
is not.
Randolph Anderson, the ta.ll states
man from Savannah who engineered
the steam roller at the Atlanta conven
tion. has been chosen to second the
nomination of Underwood, and if this
addi'ss is made as scheduled it will
undoubtedly be a gem. for Mr. Ander
son. a great-grandson of Thomas Jef
ferson, Is an orator excelled by few of
the high lights of the party. .Congress'
man Brantley will be given the Geor
gia seat on the platform committee,
while Crawford Wheatley will be the
Georgian to share in the pleasure of
notifying the successful candidate of
.his nomination. The place on the cre
dentials committee has not yet been
decided among the members of the
t delegation.
Watson’s Absence
Disappoints Some.
Thomas B. Felder, who did not make
the trip with the delegation but came
round by Chicago, arrived from Wash
ington this afternoon. Thomas E.
Watson is not on the field.
The absence of Watson has been the
source of disappointment to loca'
newspaper men and correspondent«,
who had looked for good “copy" from
the insurgent sage of McDuffie. It had
been expected that Watson would at
tempt to register some sort of protest
against having the opening convention
prayer delivered by Cardinal Gibbons,
and many members of the delegation
feel relieved that possible embarrass
ment has been avoided.
The selection of Captain Will Bank
head, of Jasper, Ala., and Fort Mc-
Pherson, Ga., a son of Senator John H.
Bankhead, to present the name of Un
• • derwood to the convention, is said to
have stirred up some friction. It is
said that the senator, who was Under
wood’s campaign manager, claimed the
honor for his son. despite Underwood's
own desire that Representative Heflin
of Governor O'Neal nominate him.
The Georgia delegation to the
Democratic national convention, aft
er a trip marked by the. near
arrest of James R. Gray, news
paper publisher of Atlanta, Ga., as Tom
Felder, arrived In the Monumental City
today ready to take a big part in the
great gathering and enthusiastic in be
half of Oscar Underwood.
Just why Editor Gray wfas picked out
for the Atlantan whom Governor
Blease, of South Carolina, wants to see
so badly is a mystery, unless it be
that as a Wilsonite he Was so conspicu
ous among the Underwood boomers. At
any rate, at Seneca, S. C., the first

announced that he was the sheriff of
the county and had a warrant for the
arrest of one Thomas B. Felder, of
Atlanta. ♦
The first man he walked into was Mr
Gray, and the editor had to do con
siderable talking to convince the sheriff
that, although he fitted in with the
somewhat stout and clean shaven end
of the description, he was not the per
son wanted.
The sheriff was finally convinced and
then pounced upon Clayton Robson, of
Milledgeville, as the next nearest of
description. He was arguing the mat
ter with Robson when the train pulled
out and he jumped off. A second In -
quiry for Felder was made at Green
ville, but in a more heals-hearted way.

and quickly convinced that Felder was
not aboard the special.

though a candidate for governor at the
time, did not fail to let his preference

the delegation think his election to the

’ The delegation has authority to fill

Notwithstanding possible absentees,

' BALTIMORE, June 24, —A monster
demonstration for Champ Clark, the
Missouri candidate for the Democratic
’ presidential nomination, has been
planned for tomorrow by his support
ers here.. The demonstration will take
the form of a parade, in which, it was
asserted today, fully 10,000 persons will
' be in line. The parade will wind up at
J, the convention hall a short time before
, the convention is called to order.
, The parade will form in four dlvi
• sions. At the head 'if each division 25
i boys representing the National Champ
Clark association, of Washington, D.
C., will march. Each boy will carry a
' banner representing a state pledged to
Clark.
. Delegations of 225 men from Kansas
City, 200 from Pittsburg, 250 from the
St. Louis “Holin' Dawg club," 450 from
j Boston and 500 from Chicago will
t matsph.
E. S. Kelso, of Kansas City, is in
charge of plans for the parade.
"If Champ Clark, of Missouri, gains
much on the second ballot, he will be
nominated,” declared Thomas Little, a
Maryland delegate .today. “We are all
waiting to see what New York will do.
If New York goes for Clark he is nomi
nated. Maryland, under the unit rule,
will cast the first ballot for Clark.
There are some Wilson men on our
delegation and it is hard to say what
they will do after the first ballot.”
The Clark forces now in Baltimore
outnumber the boosters for any other
candidate now here whose name will
go before the Democratic national con
vention. More than 1,000 have come

The Clark forces are scattered all

nor emblems. They are members of
the Clark "secret service."
Senator TYilliam Stone, of Missouri,
