The Parker leaders. claiming to have such a poll already, renewed their efforts to check it. There is a possibility of almost any sort of division in thal state concern ing the big issue. Politicians here who are watching the opening moves of the convention are surprised at the similarity in sit uation developed by the two big par ties. Many predict that the bitter ness and belligerency of the Republi can gathering will find a counterpart in the meeting of the Democrats as the moves are maxle. That the bitterness engendered yes terday when peace envoys of the na tional committee—Chairman Mack and Vice Chairman P. L. Hall, of Nebraska —failed to bring about a compromise between Bryan and Parker after a per sonal conference lasting an hour, will play its part In the struggle, seepied certain. No Compromise; Fight to End. The fighting spirit on both sides be came Increased when it became known that the leaders of the rival factions had scorned a compromise. Wavering delegates took sides. Through the ho tel lobbies where the delegates gather ed. the chairmanship fight overshadow, ed the question of the nomination it self. The delegates talked of Parker and Bryan, and forgot for the time that Clark and Wilson and Harmon and Gaynor a.nd Buiko and Underwood and the others have a right to the spot light. too. It was a situation that did not please the candidates They were not certain just what effect the fight would have on their delegates. They had desired to take no part in the squabble. In stead they found themselves, some vol untarily. but the majority involuntar ily, projected into the very heart of the controversy. On the outcome of the Parker-Bryan battle, and the sec ond battle to be fought over the rul ings on the delegate contest the nom ination itself today seemed to depend. Bryan Belongs With T.

Thirteen highest awards and medals. Political Suicide for the Party To Be Reac tionary in Face of Will of People Ex pressed in Primary. By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES BALTIMORE, June 25.—The contest over the temporary chairmanship of the Democratic national convention keeps growing, with W. J. Bryan and his forces refusing a compromise and promising to carry the fight on Judge Parker to the floor of the convention today. Meanwhile, the admirable attitude of Champ Clark toward the incident is everywhere approved. Champ Clark is a progressive of the most definite type. He presented for the temporary chairmanship Senator Ollie James, who is an out and out, shoulder-hitting progressive from Ken tucky. When the committee voted against James, Mr. Clark accepted its verdict rather than open the conven tion with a row Ex-GovCrnors For Clark. Hive Democratic ex-governors of Missouri —Francis. Folk, Stephens. Dockery and Stone—have called at the Clark headquarters to express loyal and, whole-hearted support for Clark. The presidency of the United States is a tremendous office, and the execu tive power at Washington means tre mendous things to the people and to the vast selfish interests that are ex ploiting politics and government to their glpry and gain. The people are playing the game open and fair. In the preferential primaries, wherever they have been held, the peo ple, who are supposed to rule and who are entitled to rule in this country-have expressed their wishes as to measures and men. Tn five-sixths of the states of the republic that have voted that have been cast on the Democratic side and on the Republican side the popular will has expressed Itself overwhelm ingly for progressive policies and for a progressive candidate to lead them. Among the Republicans this vast majority, of the people who voted un trammelled voted overwhelmingly for Theodore Roosevelt to lead them. But the selfish interests, swarming from, every quarter and spending money like water, strangled the .popular will at Chicago and named an out and out re actionary In Taft upon a platform which both Roosevelt and LaFollette have repudiated and which the people will repudiate in November. We Democratic people have also ex pressed ourselves clearly and definitely for progressive principles and a pro gressive candidate. The question is. shall this small mi nority, backed by money interests, throttle the majority of the people in both parties and ram a reactionary platform and a reactionary candidate down the throats of the people? Clark Victories Shown. Twenty-six states and four territo ries of the republic have overwhelm ingly expressed a preference for Champ Clark to lead the progressive policies of the Democratic party in the next cam paign. In nearly four-fifths of the ter ritory of the United States Champ Clark has beaten al! other Democratic candidates by two to one, and in some eases four to one In the choice of the progressive Democracy to oppose the reactionary Taft. To fly in the face of this tremendous expression of the preference of Demo cratic votes will be political suicide .com every point of view. Let it be understood by the Demo cratic convention that if we select a reactionary to lead our forces for No vember, there will be two reactionary tickets in the field to represent this small minority in both parties. It is clear beyond all doubt or question that the Democratic party Is five sevenths progressive in Its creeds and wishes—just as the Republican party is overwhelmingly progressive. It is the small minority who are reactionaries—the majority in both par ties. ignored and unrepresented, will turn naturally to any party w hich fair ly represents the dominant spirit of the times. The Atlanta Georgian, as I under stand it, earnestly wishes the Demo cratic party to take advantage of this overwhelming sentiment and the defin ite apportunity and win this election. To nominate a reactionary in the con vention is to make probable or certain the election of Roosevelt. Great Issue Pointed Out. To nominate an absolutely sincere and unquestioned progresisve Demo crat like Champ Clark at this conven tion—one who has never been other than a progressive will make Democ racy successful. This , is the great transcendent issue—the triumph of the progressive principle through the pro gressive Democrat. As compared with this, all other con siderations are trivial. It is far better if posisble to have a progressive tempo rary chairman like Kern or James or Sulzer or O’Gorman. it is absolutely Indispensable that the progressive Democracy should have a progressive permanent chairman and a progressive platform and a progres sive nominee. A reactionary nominee at Baltimore is a rush to Roosevelt. This is what all the progressives think at Baltimore, and tJilnking this, all true progressives should hereafter match every strategem of the bold and cunning reactionaries who seek to cap ture any point of vantage from which they can destroy the progressive line and walk away with the honors of the convention and the liberties oX the peo ple. ‘DARK HORSE'IS OFTEN J WINNER Political Equine of Sable Hue Sometimes Plays Prominent Part With Democrats. Famous old Democratic presidential nomination battles are recalled by the line-up of candidates whose supporters met in Baltimore today to fight for their nomination for the presi dency on the Democratic ticket. Nota ble among these past battles of the Democracy are trfe Democratic conven tions of 1884 and 1896. Each of these was held under conditions similar in many respects to those which will en shroud the coming convention and in each of them a “dark horse” carried off the prize. The national convention of 1844, per haps most resembles the coming Demo cratic meeting. Then, as now, the can didates for the presidency went to Bal timore without sufficient delegates ir revocably pledged to them to make their nomination certain. Yet, then as now, one candidate was the favorite in the ' pre-nomination forecasts. The strong Democratic candidate for the nomination, at that time, was Martin Vanßuren, up for the nomination to the presidency for a second term. Van- Buren was defeated by James K. Polk, the first “dark horse” to cary off na tional honors In either party. Vanßuren's name came before the national Democratic convention at Bal timore in much the same plane in point of strength, as will the name of Champ Clark in the coming fight. He was re garded as the “strong man” of the party, and since his defeat for re election to the presidency in 1840 his friends had been quietly working for his nomination through party newspa per and mass meetings. Consequently, when the convention met many of the delegates had either been instructed for him or were elected as his friends. Cass in Position Wilson Now is. Vanßurtfn’s most dangerous rival was General Cass, of Michigan, who held about the same relative position with regard to pledged delegates as does Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, today. The other possible Democratic nom inees were John C. Calhoun and ex- Vice President Johnson. Each of these, however, had only a small following. When the convention convened the Democrats faced much the same prob lem as they will on Tuesday. This problem was the selection of a man to wage a successful fight against the nominee of the opposing party, who at that time was Henry Clay, leader of the Whigs. There were many, how ever, who believed Vanßuren would bo unable to win against Clay. Andrew Jackson cohorts set about to cause Vanßuren's defeat by forcing a motion through the convention to ob serve the two-thirds rule, which had been adopted by the Democratic nation al body in 1832 and 1835. The motion was carried and the balloting began. On the eighth ballot, James K. Polk, of Tennessee, the "dark horse.” made his entry in the race by receiving 44 votes. The score now stood Vanßuren. 104; Cass, 114; Buchanan, 2; Calhoun. 2. and Polk. 44. To elect, 178 votes were necessary. Polk had not been even talked for the presidency until after the opening of the convention, but a few of his friends had previously urged his nom ination for the vice presidency. On the ninth ballot there was a stampede in Polk’s favor. The vote on this bal lot stood Polk, 233; Cass. 29, and Van- Buren. 2. So sudden was the change that the Democratic leaders in Washington, who received the news by telegraph over the first commercial wire between Washington and Baltimore, refused to believe he had been nominated. The wires between Baltimore and Wash ington had only been completed a day before the convention opened, and the Democratic leaders took the ground that the clicking Instruments were a fake. The news, however, was later con firmed by mail, and in the election fol lowing, Polk swept his party to vic tory. Another historic case of a “dark horse” winning the Democratic nomina tion occurred in 1896, when William Jennings Bryan, "The Boy Orator of the Platte,” made his famous “crown of thorns and cross of gold” speech, sweeping the convention off its feet by his eloquence and winning the nom ination hazids down on the fifth ballot. This was probably the most dramatic example of convention stampeding in the history of either party. When the convention met in Chicago on July 7, the delegates were over whelmingly pledged to the reform of the money standard. Bryan’s Speech Wins For Him. Bryan’s speech was short, occupying scarcely 3,000 words, and during it he dwelt upon glittering generalities in his advocacy of free silver. He closed his masterpiece of eloquence with these ringing metaphors: "You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify man kind upon a cross of gold!” With this stirring admonition ringing in their ears, the delegates began the ballot. There were 768 delegates vot ing. and under the two-thirds rule, 512 votes w ere necessary for a nomination. J L. Hill, of Georgia, the youngest delegate on the floor, who was only 21 years old. got Hal T Lewis, of Georgia, to place Mr. Bryan tn nomination, and on the first roll call Georgia was the first state to east its vote for the bov orator.

' ed Tom Watson to be a part of the big show and to “lock horns with Bryan.” On the contrary, however, there are many delegates, and especially among the leaders, who. were deeply gratified when they found the red-headed person was not along. There can be no ques tion of the fact that some of them viewed his probable coming with great alarm. In some sort of way, indefinite ly outlined, Mr. Watson was expected to kick the lid off things and start con siderable excitement. So far as Mr. Bryan is concerned, he will have his hands full of fighting without Mr. Wat son to stir him up, but the crowd gen erally is more or less good naturedly peeved that Watson will not be on hand this week. Underwood Stock On Ascendency. Underwood stock unquestionably has gone up since noon yesterday. Last night and this morning one hears the Alabaman’s name everywhere and ap provingly on thousands of lips. A great Underwood meeting was held here last night, in which Governor O'Neal, Congressman Heflin. Senator Bankhead and others participated, and at which much genuine enthusiasm was aroused. The Underwood boomers are well organized and aggressive. One meets them everywhere one goes about Bautimore—in the street cars, on the “rubberneck wagons,” on the sidewalks, in the hotel lobbies —and everywhere the burden of their song is the same. Underwood is the logical man. they say, and must eventually be nominated. The Alabama man has profited some what, too. by the attitude Mr. Bryan has assumed on the eve of the conven tion. It is not generally predicted, even now, that Underwood will win the nom ination, but it is agreed that he is showing far better in the prelimi naries than even his friends suspected he would, and in the event of a dead lock would make a formidable candi date for the nomination. Tjhe Geor gians are standing stoutly up to Un derwood and will not leave him so long as there is a chance to nominate him. Georgia Delegation Slow Getting Together. The Georgia delegation was slow getting together for the purpose of naming its important committeemen yesterday afternoon. After getting into town two hours late, it scattered to the various hotels to which it had been assigned, and was only able to get down to actual work at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. It did gather-at the Belvedere at noon long enough to present Clark Howell a beautiful loving cup, and then it Im mediately adjourned and hunted its places of abode, and listened to the hot air of 1,000 persuasions around the ho tel lobbies until its meeting at 5 o’clock in tlie afternoon. Colonel C. R. Pendleton called the delegation to order in room 189 at tlie Belvedere, and informed the delegation that it would be necessary for it to elect committeemen for work iq,. the convention. Clark Howell for Vice President. When once the committee did get to work, however, it made short shift of what there was to come before it. Con gressman Brantley was unanimously elected the member of the platform committee, G. R. Hutchens was put upon the credentials committee and H. J. Hofmeyer was made the member of the committee on rules and order of business. There was no division on any of these assignments. Upon the question of a committee man to notify the presidential nominee of the honor conferred upon him Hol lins Randolph, of Atlanta, was named, but upon motion of Sid Fielding that the matter of these assignments be de ferred until after the nomination had been made in convention, Mr. Randolph withdrew his name and the delegation empowered the chairman to appoint the committeemen to notify the presiden tial and vice» presidential nominee after the convention adjourns. Upon motion. Delegate John M. Van diver. of the Seventh, the delegation voted to cast its first ballot for vice president for Clark Howell. Wilson Agents Try To Make Trouble. The would-be trouble makers were at it early in the game after the Geor gia delegation got to Baltimore. The delegation had hardly located it self in the various hotels to which it had been assigned before quiet agent..- of Woodrow Wilson began to button hole members and endeavor to find out how they stood with respect to a sec ond choice, for the presidency and to insinuate and propose that Wilson should be Georgia’s second choice in the event Underwood not being nom inated early In the balloting. It may be stated that the Georgia delegation is emphatically for t nder wood. It has not yet begun to con sider a second choice. It will stick to Underwood so long as there is a chance to nominate him. And the “Logic of Events Will Nominate Clark” BALTIMORE, June 25.—“ The logic of events will nominate Speaker Clark. The fight for Democratic success in this cam paign will be based mainly on the record of the Democratic congress now in ses sion. Nebraska is for him.” This statement was made today by Ar-' thur F. Multy, of Omaha. Manager Multy said further: “This convention will indorse the Demo cratic record in congreas in the strongest terms. Speaker Clark, more than any man, is largely responsible for this splen did record. If this convention fkils to nominate Speaker Clark, the party will lose the advantage gained by being in control of the house of representatives. It would be neither sensible nor expedient to conduct a campaign on the record of congress without Speaker Clark as the nominee of the party. In addition, he is satisfactory and agreeable to all leaders and all factions.” Frank Lucey, candidate for attorney general on the Democratic ticket In Illi nois, declared Illinois will roll up an un precedented Democratic majority this fall for Clark, if he is nominated. A. H. Kallmeyer, of Los Angeles, who helped nominate Mr. Clark to Congress twenty years ago, is also here to help nominate his favorite. The California delegation is pledged to Clark. From the birthplace of the speaker, the Eighth district of Kentucky, came Dr. W. R. Rhea and Colonel Robert Evans, dele gates. They claim all of Kentucky for the speaker. Former Governor John Y. Stephens, of Missouri, who has been managing the Clark campaign at St. Louis, declared that his champion will get every Demo cratic vote and some Republican votes if he is nominated. He claimed Missouri by 40,000 majority. Will H. Merritt, of Seattle, declared that although his state is normally Re publican by 30,000, if Champ Clark is nominated he will pull the state into the Democratic column. The Washington del egation is solid for Clark. Similar op timistic views were expressed by P. C. Little, of Arizona; Max Ways, of Mary land: Senator Charles P. Johnson, of Maine, and many others. Georgia delegation believes ho will be nominated eventually. Nothing Substantial To Gaynor Boom. But if the Georgia delegation does switch to somebody it will not switch to Wilson. Neither will it switch to Gaynor, as had been given out by some seeking to create discord with the ranks of the Georgians, There seems to be nothing substan tial to the Gaynor boom anyway. It was industriously circulated about thb hotel lobbies last night (Monday), that Gaynor was looming large, btit there is nothing to it. The Gaynor boom is bagging at the knees woefully. Those who are betting at all are betting that Champ Clark will be nom inated. One politician of national repu tation and astuteness said today, open ly in the lobby of the Belvedere, that Clark would win it sure. And he is not for Clark, moreover. Felder Won’t Try To Start Trouble. The would-be trouble makers for the Georgia delegation rather lost their heads last night when they undertook to put out the report that Tom Felder, of Atlanta, was seriously disputing Randolph Anderson’s right to second the nomination of Underwood. They even went so far as to say that Felder had prepared a speech that he was de termined to deliver, no matter what the delegation says about it. and that he would deliver it or raise trouble. Os course. there-was nothing of truth in the story. Felder has no idea of undertaking to second Underwood’s nomination and has not asked the Georgia delegation to assign him to that duty. .He acquiesces perfectly in Anderson’s selection, and has no thought of undertaking to “butt in” on anything. The truth Is, the Wilson people here, realizing the’des perate plight of their candidate are doing whatever they can to upset the program of the opposition wherever they may, but without a sign of sue cess. Watson May Yet Go to Baltimore. The matter of electing Thomas G Hudson a member of the Georgia dele gation in place of Thomas E. Watson was not brought up in the caucus of the Georgia delegation yesterday after noon. It was learned that Mr. Watson might yet appear upon the scene and assume his place on the delegation, and the election of Mr. Hudson in that event might be embarrassing. Mr Watson has notified at least one of his fi iends that he hopes to come on to Baltimore tomorrow, which would get him here long in advance of the nomi nation for the presidency. <>f the Georgia delegation in congress attending the big Democratic conven tion are Senators Bacon and Smith and Congressmen Bartflett, Hardwick, Ed wards, Lee and Brantley. \ Negro Band Heads Wilson Princeton Club. The Woodrow Wilson Princeton club pf students. 150 strong, marched into the Belvedere hotel at 10 o’clock last night headed by a negro brass band. The smoky band was profusely dec orated In the Princeton university col ors. which fact brought forth many ad verse comments from the hundreds of Southern Democrats packed into tlie hotel lobby.
