DEMOCRATS UNITED BY PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM; BRYAN’S FIRST VICTORY BALTIMORE, June 26.—The Democrats of the nation united today in a progressive program. The most significant move toward such a program was the unanimous selection by the rules commit tee of Senator-elect Ollie James, of Kentucky, a progressive, to be permanent chairman of the convention. Mr. James has the com bined support of the Clark, Wilson and Bryan forces, and has a large following among the other While Mr. James was being named for permanent chairman, William Jennings Bryan won his first victory in his present battle between reactionaries and progressives before the resolutions com mittee. By a vote of 41 to 11 a motion to withhold the drafting of the platform until after the convention chooses its nominee was passed. The matter then went to the committee on rules, which accepted the rule by a decisive vote. Mr. Bryan first declined to ac cept the chairmanship of the plat form committee. He explained that he did not wish to become so connected with the committee that he could not present a minority re port on the platform to the con vention. A committee had been sent to request him to take the place, but he declined. His own selection, John W. Kern, of In diana. was unanimously elected to the place. The national convention today treat ed itself to a quarter of an hour o> noise. confusion and cheering. The demonstration started after the cre dentials committee had reported that it was not ready to report. Oratory was supplied in lieu of business. Afle' listening to £ number of short addresses the convention adjourned a' 2: is j>. in, until 8 o'clock tonight. ICx-Governor Folk, of Missouri, was i’ic first speaker. He got through with •in interruption except cheers. Tne ■ cnvrntion listened to Senator Isidor Rayner. Then Representative Henry D. Clay ton took up the task. He made an in- j direct reference to Oscar Underwood 1 -nd the Alabaman's supporters began | to , irei It spread to other candidates! end soon the cheers covered all Hie booms that have appeared before the convention. The cheering w. r fre quently interrupted. Finally the noise nibsided enough to permit Clayton to co on. He was interrupted with fre <«uent cheers. Chairman Late In Calling Order. The second day's session of the Dem ocratic national convention was called io order at 12:21 o'clock this afternoon bv Alton B Parker, temporary chai - man. Rev. John Gardner Murray, bishop of Maryland, pronounced the invocation at 12:2® p. m. As Chairman Parker called the con-; vention to order .1. Sergeant Cram, of j New York, who had been conferring with Judge Parker, left the side of the chairman and returned to his place with the New York delegation. In the course of the bishop's prayer he said: ■ We stand face to face with the most momentous crisis in the history of the greatest government on earth among men. In our weakness we come unto Thee for strength. "And upon whosoever the mantle of this nomination shall fall may he be a God-fearing man of public and per sonal virtue.” Governor Blanchard, of Louisiana, reporting for the credentials commit lee. said that body had not completed Its labors and said it would not do so until 8 p. in. T am directed by the committee on credentials to report to this convention 1 hat it has not yet completed its labors and that it will be 8 o'clock tonight be t,.re it is ready to report,” said Govern or Blanchard. “I know that the con vention wishes to hear some oratory and I do not wish to cut it off. but I move that when the convention ad journs it be until 8 o’clock tonight." Former Governor Joseph W. Folk, of Missouri, was called upon to start the oration*. H< was applauded when he look the stand. He said: Mr. Chairman and fellow Demo crats. the, nominee of this convention will be the next president of the United Suite'- In ,n Denver we nomi nated a ticket that was defeated. I I ran safely say that the man „ :,d most to defeat Mr. Bryan in that campaign will admit that he made a mistake. “You may not agree with Mr. Bryan in all his ideas, but no one can deny he has been the greatest moral teacher of this generation. “The ticket was not elected, but in 1910 the people elected a Democratic lower house of congress and the lower house was able to carry out every plank of the Denver platform. “That platform declared for the elec tion of United States senators by the direct vote of the people, and a Demo cratic congress has submitted an amendment for the election of senators by the people. That platform declared for an income tax, and congress has passed and submitted an amendment 1 for an income tax. "Let us in this convention nominal; a progressive Democrat for president. (Cheers.) Let us adopt 11 progressive Democratic platform. "Let us declare that we are not op posed to wealth honestly acquired, but that we propose to wage war on taint : riches on the one side and poverty on the other. “Let u- announce that, we will pro tect the property’ rights, but let us rec ognize the fact that property rights ought not to be inconsistent with hu man rights. "Let us not array class against class, . but let us preserve the rights of all by I causing equal opportunity for all. "Let us —” Parker interrupted to ask for better 1 ord el'. “Let us not. ask any one to join us because we can give him a privilege enabling him to make money at the expense of some other man. “Let us make it plain to the people of tb-s nation that the Democratic par ty stands not only for government of | and by the people, but a government 1 for the people. 1 thank you." “We Must Progress,” Says Senator Rayner. Senator Isidor Rayner, of Mai viand, was thus introduced by Chairman Parker and he got an ovation as he came to the stand: "We have just listened to the dis tinguished ex-governor. We now’ have ! the pleasure of listening to one of the | leaders of Democracy. Senator Isidor Rayner" "We will have before us three differ ent parties.” said Senator Rayner. "The Republican party has nominated Mr. Taft. The motto of that party will be, 'We will react and retrograde.' "A new party will perhaps arise in a month from now that has already an nounced its motto, and that motto is. ‘Thou shalt not steal.' "My there is but one motto for us. and that motto is. We must progress.' “Unde: that motto this inspiring scene here today foreshadows our com ing victory in November. Our forces are in the field. We are ready for the battle. “Now. around what shall the conflict rage? First and foremost on ou> ban ner is that this Is a government by the people. “There is no subterfuge upon our banners. We are not ashamed of ou l record and we are proud of the colors we hope to plant upon the citadel be fore us. “The Republican party is the party of the classes and upon its banner In blazing characters is the legend, ‘Pro tection for monopolies.’ “The Democratic party i-s in favor of a constitutional tariff for revenue. The Republican party is in favor of an un constitutional tariff for protection. "A man can not be 11 Democrat and be a protectionist. If he is for protec tion he Is against his party.' “We must oppose with every lawful means within our power these unlawful Continued on Pegs Two ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY. JUNE 26, 1912. Gate City Club Found Guilty; Fined $25 For Violating Fire Laws Recorder Broyles, acting for the pro tection of Atlanta fight fans, today fined Henry Norton, owner of the Gate City Athletic club, $25.75 for conduct ing fights in a building occupied by a garage and at the •ante time barred future bouts under the same condi tions. Recorder Broyles declared "many persons might be burned to death some night” under the existing conditions at the Gate City club. The fine was im posed in the case made by Fire In spector Oatie for violation of the fire laws. The cases of the two automobile agents who were involved under the technical terms of the fire ordinance were dismissed, it being shown that they had no connection whatever with the prize fights nor the renting of the fight hall. Judge Broyles told Norton that he could hold no further fights in the hail at 36 James street so long as the two automobile agencies occupy quarters in the building. Every fight pulled off over the garage is a violation of the fire laws, ruled the court. Norton said he would seek other quarters. LEGISLATURE IN FICTIONAL FIGHT The Georgia legislature got down to work and politics on the first day of its session, defeating a resolution to ad journ to July 8 and launching right into the vexed question of appoint ments made by Governor Hoke Smith and never affirmed by the senate. The Hudson investigation, which stirred up so much politics in the winter, was fol lowed up today by a set of bills intro duced in both houses which would com pletely reorganize the agricultural de partment. The governor's appointments fight took the form of a resolution by Sena tor Sheppard, (tailing upon Governor Brown to return to the senate the ap pointments made by Governor Smith last year, and which had been sent back unconfirmed. The resolution wiii be acted upon tomorrow'. A resolution by Representative Gar lington, of Richmond, that the house adjourn to July 8, was sent to the ta ble. several members declaring they came to work and were ready to do it. Leaders representing the prohibition ists who desire to stop the sale of the near-beer, and those who would mtke it even a little nearer, have agreed to let the Tippins bill go to a vote. It is the first bill on. the house calendar, has been read twice and is ready for passage. It wilt be taken up on the Monday after the Fourth of July. Two days will be permitted for debate, speeches will be limited. Hie time divided between opposing sides, and the pr evious question will be called at a fixed hour. Three new house members were sworn in today to take the of absentees. ('. M. Clark, of Dougherty, has been elected to the place held by E. R. Jones, resignea. John T. Du- Pree, of Wilkinson, has been elected to succeed J L. Byington, deceased. H. Drew Roberts, of Miller. has been elected to succeed Representative B. F. Harrell, who died since last session. After Chief Ju-tice Fish had sworn in the three new members of the house and the body was formally organized, a ■ ommittee composed of Representa tives Hall of Bibb. Pope of Dade, and Williams of Bulloch, was appointed to notifv the governor that the assembly was ready for business. A resolution by Mr. Garlington. of Richmond, that the house adjourn to July 8 was tabled by almost a unani mous vote, Representatives Alexander of DeKalb, Slade of Muscogee and Nix of Gwinnett, saying the house had too much work ahead to afford this waste of time. Mr. Vinson, of Baldwin, introduced a bill to appropriate $25,000 a year for the University of Georgia, to conduct a soil survey and prepare maps and bulletins on soil types. It went to the appropriations committee. Mr. Johnson, of Bartow, brought in a resclution to appropriate $7,000 to ward rebuilding the recently burned buildings of tne Seventh District Ag ricultural school at Powder Springs, Cobb county. Mr. McCarthy, of Chatham, introduc ed a bill to establish a kindergarten system-for children not less than four years, as part of the common school system.
