Bryan Admits He
Saw T. R.’s Agent
BALTIMORE, June 26. William J.
Bryan admitted today that he had re
ceived an emissary from the new pro
gressive party. This emissary was
k'raneis J. Heney, who led the fighting
for Theodore Roosevelt in th'? Republi.
an national -convention. To Mr. Heney
i.» credited a share in the organization
of the progressive party after the Re
publican convention had adjourned.
Mr. Bryan, however, saw the <’ali
fornla man only for a moment. It was
evident that ho was not minimizing the
attention he Is giving to the Democrat
ic convention.
"I saw Mr. Heney for a moment."
said Mr. Bryan In response to a direct
question.
"Will you say what the conference
was about?” he was asked.
"I prefer at this time not to discuss
the matter," the Nebraskan answered.
Bryan said that he had not seen Sen
ator LaEollette, who was reported to
have come from Washington for a con
sultation.
Bryan was seen at his hotel this
morning just before he left to attend
a meeting of the committee on resolu
tions that will write the Demo'cratic
pla I form.
“I can sing this morning with fat
less of a tremble in my voice than those
other gentlemen can.”
Save Your Sympathy, Says Bryan.
He had just returned from an all
night visit at the. home of Mayor James
H. Preston. Both Colonel Bryan and
his wife seemed much refreshed. Mrs.
Bryan was dressed in white, with a big
hat covered with poppies. The Ne
braskan wore his usual alpaca coat, no
hat and carried the inevitable fan. His
expression was pleasant.
"Mr. Bryan, you made a ndble fight
and I want to offer my sympathy," said
one of the many visitors in the room.
Before he had finished his sentence, the
Nebraskan interrupted.
Do not offer sympathy for me. Of
fer it to the other follows. They fee!
the worse. Those gentlemen are the
ones w ho must worry."
"I am glad to see you feeling in that
spii'it.” volunteered the visitor.
"I am perfectly happy today." Bryan
replied, and he turned to smile at his
wife, who was talking to a group of
friends. "I can sing with less of a trem
ble in my voice today than those other
gentlemen. I feel that I am right: so
why should I worry. Let me tell you
something. I enjoy following a man in
a speech when I know that what he is
saying is not what he wants at all, and
that what he says and what lie thinks
are two different propositions."
Illinois Contests to
Go to Convention
BALTIMORE. June 26. "We ap
proach the meeting of the committee on
(ii'dentials with serenity and confi
dence. knowing tliat the cause of the
Illinois progressives is just."
Tills statement was made today by
William H. Sexton, corporation coun
sel of Chicago, who will present the
cause of the contesting delegation.
"Sexton will be more serene, but less
confident after that committee gets
through with him. He means that lie
knows the cause of that bunch is a
lost cause —not just."
This was the retort of Roger Sulli
van. national committeeman from Illi
nois and head and front of the defense

No matter which ,-idi wins, the fight
will go to the tioor of the convention
That is made certain by assertions
from both sides.
"We are very hopeful that the cre

tice." said Mayor Carter Harrison, of
Chicago, "Im is loading the contesting

we ate confident the committee will do
this, but we are hopeful. If we lose

Mr. Sullivan was equally sure that

Indiana for Missourian
on Second Ballot and
Others Are Flocking
Into the Houn’ Dawg
Band Wagon.
By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
BALTIMORE. June 26.—1 f there was
any doubt of,Champ Clark's nomina
tion for the presidency yesterday, that
doubt has almost disappeared today.
There is not a break in the ('lark
line from Massachusetts to California.
They entered the convention a pha
lanx and will remain unbroken. Even
the stoutest of the Wilson, Underwood
or Harmon men are tree to say that if
Clark can hojd his vote together
through the second ballot he is sure to
win.
Clark can hold his delegates through
a dozen ballots and increase their'num
bers every ballot up to- the last and
triumphant one.
Georgia's ballot, instructed for Un
derwood, will go to Clark after the sec
ond ballot.
South Carolina's delegation, unin
structed but credited to Wilson on the
first ballot, will jo to Clark after the
second.
There will be a stampede to him after
the third ballot
New York's Vote
All For Clark.
Three things have occurred which
almost insure Champ Clark's nomina
tion.
New York's 90 delegates, under the
unit rule, will go for Clark!
Never before in any national conven
tion have Mr. Murphy and his Tam
many men mingled so freely with the
delegates and the people. It is the
subject of universal comment. They
have been genial, approachable and
friendly with everybody. It is evident
that the Wigwam and its chief have
made up their minds in this conven
tion to ascertain the people's will and
to do It.
There is absent any indication that
they are here to trade and barter, and
present everywhere the spirit that in
dicates a wholesome change in Tam
many tactics, and a closer and loyal
study of the people's will.
Murphy's
Quiet Canvass.
The story is told here upon absolute
authority that Mr. Murphy two weeks
ago. in conference with his lieutenants,
determined to And out the popular man
among bis followers and friends.
Through his agents he set on foot an
investigation in New York, whose re
sults astonished him. Nobody was so
licited. nobody was commanded, but ail
the Tammany clientele were, impartial
ly interrogated.
The result was astonishing in its
revelation of Champ Clark's popularity.
Every factory visited was discovered
full of Clark men. Clark’s rugged his
tory, his rise from the common people,
his hard life, the fact that he had been
one of them, seemed to take hold of
these people, and Murphy discovered in
New York what the presidential pri
maries have told him and what he has
confessed in Baltimore—that the peo
ple—the plain people everywhere—are
enamored of the great Commoner of
M issouri.
Murphj' and Tammany have a state
election next year and they wish to win
in November to make sure of it.
Murphy and Tammany have found in
Champ Clark a winner in November.
Clear Majority
On First Ballott.
Therefore, Murphy and Tammany
have run up the Clark flag- above the
wigwam—and word has been passed
along the line by Cohalan and Cram
and the rest, anil New York's 90 votes
added to Champ Clark's 460 votes, will
give the speaker 550 votes on the first
ballot—a clear majority of the whole
convention.
To add to this magnificent reinforce
ment of members comes Roger Sullivan
from Illinois, saying that Illinois’ mag
nificent majority of 146.000 for Champ
Clark would not permit him, if he
wished, to be less than absolutely loyal
to Champ Clark to the end. and sitting
at rest the rumor that the Sullivan
men. would bolt Clark on the first op
portunity.
Indiana's
Second Choice.
It is said here upon high authority
that Tom Taggart has declared that
Indiana holds Clark next to Governor
Marshall, who has not developed
strength, and that after a ballot for
Indiana's favorite son, Indiana will go
solidly for ('lark.
These three things have practically
settled the presidential nomination.
The dark men are jubilant on every
avenue, and recruits are climbing on
to the Missouri band wagon in every
direction.
Baltimore is a ('hamp Clark town,
although it has been conspicuously fair
in every particular to all tile candi
dates. and the courtesy and hospitality
of the people of Baltimore to thg con
vention guests have been almost with
out a parallel.
Praises For
Mayor Preston.
Baltimore has really won the heart
of the national Democracy at this con
vention. and those who remember the
week will always hear with grateful
consideration any future bid which
Baltimore may make for a national
Democratic convention. Mayor Pres
ton, the city's chivalric and hospitable
executive, has won golden opinions by
bis untiring and effective considers
lion, and there are scores of delegates
who are holding him in their hearts
most thoughtfull.'’ and gratefully for
the vice presidential honor which they
have to bestow.

ter up those two-thirds is problemati
cal. The bill prohibits the manufac
ture or sale of any beverage which
contains more than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol.
While it is not likely that an ad
journment will be taken until the close
of the Baltimore convention, as ru
mored. it is certain that but little ac
tual work will be done until members
now at the convention return to the
capitol. J. Randolph Anderson, of
Chatham, is one of the delegates at
large and champion of the opponents
to the Tippins bill. Though Represen
tative Hardeman, of Jefferson, is
spokesman for the opponents during
Mr. Anderson's absence, it has been
agreed that this bill will not be taken
up until the Savannah orator’s return.
Hooper Alexander heads the advocates
of the bill, and he loves an argument
too well to try to put anything over on
Anderson during his absence on his
party’s duty.
A brand new set of doorkeepers and
pages is to be chosen by Speaker Hol

been considerable wire-pulling for the
places.

er John H. Holder are at their desks
and working hard, in spite of their
races for office. Joe Hill Hall, the
doughty statesman from Bibb and can
didate for governor, would not miss a*
day in the house if it would cinch his
election. Mr. Slaton believes his duty
requires him to preside over the senate,
and Speaker Holder says the members
elected him speaker of the house and he
proposes to carry out his work, re
gardless of his race for congress.
D. F. McClatchey, reading cierk of
the house, whose voice is famous from
Rabun to Tybee, was back on the job’
today, though he has been seriously ill
in St. Josephs hospital for several
months. It had been feared that he
would be too ill to attend a session, and
veteran members were worried lest
some green clerk be chosen who might
forget himself and tead the real text of
the voluminous bills in spite of the
waste of time involved. Mr. McClatchey
can read a 600-page document in nine
minutes, and if he skips any of it no
body can tell where the skipping be
gins which is some help in a crowded
session.
