Chairman Joseph E. Bell, of Indiana, said that the letter of the South Dakota state chairman reported that Champ Clark had received 65 per cent of the vote of the state. He proceeded to read the much quoted letter In favor of the seating of Lee delegates, who are for Clark. “Only sixteen counties,” called the delegates from Now Jersey. Mr. Bell added that there was a scheme In the Dakota election to split the Clark vote for the benefit of 'Wil son. and that In spite of the split Clark got 7,000 votes to 4,200 for Mr. Wilson. Then Mr. Bell asked the convention to vote for the majority report. J. Knox of Minnesota, followed Before he had taken his place there were more cries of "vote, vote." He started at once to tell all over again the story of the three tickets and the plurality. When he coupled Wilson's and Clark's names In a sentence there was so much noise from the two factions that he was forced to suspend entire ly, while the sergeant-at-arms ham mered Industriously for order. Knox closed with the house in dis order while the delegates and the gal leries took up the cry "vote, vote." Theodore A. Bell, of California, took the place of Ids namesake to close the argument. More Disorder As Speaking Continues. “Vote, vote." "Question, question, question." The double series of calls came from the delegates, thoroughly tired of the debate. "When people of a state express their choice for a man for president," said Bell, "the delegates of this convention must vote to let them express their will.” He charged that a Wilson trick to eheat Clark out of the vote so the state had been prepared. He charged that 7.000 Democrats in South Dakota had voted for Clark, "And Wilson," chorused the Wilson men. "Be honest." Earl Brewer, of Mississippi, came into the debate from the floor and started a rip-roaring demonstration. “Did the people of South Dakota have a primary election?" he asked. » "They did,” replied Mr. Bell. “Who got the majority of the votes?” "Champ Clark." “No-o-o," came the long roll of pro test. The Wilson delegates were all on 1 their feet crying for their man. Gov ernor Blanchard came to ask a ques tion. "The question 1 was asking the gen tleman from California is this: Two of those tickets—" He got no further. Some one in the gallery cried: "Three cheers for Wll »on.” A united demonstration began. Twenty pictures of Wilson were flashed into sight. Banners were waved over the heads of the shouting, creaming and cheering delegates, who stood In chairs and shouted themselves hoarse. "Give us Wilson, well give you Min nesota,” was the legend. The hall was now on fire with en thusiasm, and fanned every moment by some new addition to the stirring, seething mass on the floor. The Pennsylvania delegation jumped into the tumult with a banner saying: "Give us Wilton, We will give you Pennsylvania.” The news came that the action of the police In closing the doors and refusing to allow any more people to enter had been taken on the order of the fire marshal, who feared the danger of a holocaust or a serious accident from the packing of the crowd. Mrs. Taft stood up and gazed in won der a., tat straage of il.a xen who marched, shouted and sang for the men they most desired. Rhe soon took her seat again, but scanned the hall with the opera glasses. "Bang!" A salute came from a big flashlight battery of a photographer recording the turbulent scene. A big orange and black banner bear ing the legend, "Staunton, Wilson’s birthplace," was unfolded by' the Vir ginia delegates, and was greeted with a cheer. Clark People Shout for Speaker. The Clark people shouted their battle cry and came to the front for a con vention demonstration. "Champ Clark, Our Next President,” was heralded In white letters cn an Im mense red banner that was taken down the center aisle. The Missouri standard was plucked from Its place and carried behind the great red gonfalon of Clark. Then came the Underwood tribe to add to the babel. They carried a ban ner with the sign: "What is the Issue? Thetariff! What is the answer? Underwood!” The dense crush In the house had caused a conflict between the city and the convention authorities. At 2 o'clock the police closed all doors and forbade any one, whether delegate or not. to enter. Four big men, all on the sliver side of life, bore the Clark flag. It was a pathetic sight to see the old fellows struggling almost to the paint of col lapse with their burden. Around and around the hall went the parading columns. The smoke of the flash light hung low over the hall, giving the realistic touch of actual battle. “Give us Wilson; we’ll give you Ore gon!” was unfurled and took Its place with similar banners from Pennsyl vania and Minnesota. Even the modest blue and gold ban ner of Governor Simeon E. Baldwin of Connecticut got into play with the Nut meg state's delegation solidly behind It. Mrs. Harry Clemons, of Kansas, stood upon the chair of former Governor Francis, of Missouri, holding aloft a picture of Champ Clark In one hand and the standard of the state delegation in the other. Threaten to Call Help of Police. Through a megaphone the sergeant at arms managed to get a call to order to the floor, 21 minutes after the demon stration started. He said the police would bo called upon to enforce order If It did not come. Mr. Bell, of California, tried to re sume his speech. Again came the dis order. The sergeant at arms mega phoned to the galleries that they would be shut out of the convention if they lid not subside. They did. In a meas ure, and Bell resumed a defense of the majority report. Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, came to the stand during the big row and re mained where he could direct the ser geant at arms In a pinch. After this afternoon's demonstration had continued for ten minutes, it Inter, sered with the resolution committee meeting. A doorkeeper was sent to find out what the disturbance was about. His report was not satisfac tory. A moment later the door swung open and Mr. Bryan strode into the hall and stood up close behind the crowd. There was a smile on his face. "It is a Clark and Wilson demon stration,” volunteer a bystander. "I sec," answered Mr. Bryan. "We are getting as good as the Republicans at making demonstrations.” At this point a big man elbowed his way through the crowd which had gathered about the Nebraskan. "Mr. Bryan, I am a Republican," he explained, excitedly. "1 am for you and I am going to vote for you If I have the chance.” Bryan grasped his hand and smiled almost sadly: "I am afraid your opportunity' has gone by," he answered, and turned to the committee room door. Dr. C. E. Hannan, of Johnstown, Pa., climbed into his chair and tried to get the attention of the speaker. There was quite a commotion among the del egates in his neighborhood, and in the din no one heard what he had said. Luke Lea came to the front and put the main question: “Shall the major ity report be adopted?" Lea Assumes Chair, To Anger of Parker. The chair did not like the assumption of authority, and when Senator Lea de. dared the minority rei>ort had carried. Judge Parker put the question and a roll cal! was demanded.

John Sharp Williams made the point of order that the Philippines, not being a part of the United States, had no right to take a part In a convention to name a president of the United States. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, flashed a point of order on Senator Williams that he had raised his point too late. Judge Parker ruled In favor of Williams. The minority report was adopted without the Philippines and the latter question was taken up separately. The delegates from the Philippines were excluded from seats on a division of the delegates. There came three cheers and ap plause for Ollie James when he was , named by the committee on permanent organization as permanent chairman. I E. E. Brittain was named secretary. . The present subordinates were reported for reelection. H. H. Dean, who sub , mltted the report, moved its adoption, and the action was taken unanimously. Prominent Men Caught Outside of Hall. I Among the prominent Democrats I held outside the hall by the order clos ! Ing the door were William Randolph I Hearst and W. K. Vardaman, of Mis- ■ slsslppl. Both Hearst and Vardaman made an Indignant protest against the . order. They were joined by other ex , eluded Democrats, and the crowd in i front of the hall soon grew to large proportions. Senator Bankhead, Senator Pomer > eno, of Ohio; Congressman Hughes, of New Jersey, and Mayor Fitzgerald, of • Boston, were named to escort James to i the chair. In honor of James' selection, the band played "My Old Kentucky Home," and , Chalrftian James was escorted to the chair to the plaudits of the standing delegates. He was not in his own dele, gatlon when opportunity knocked, and ■ the committee searched for him for a few moments before they found him When they reached the stand, Judge Parker said to the delegates: "I want to thank you for your cour tesy, your patience and yqur kindness during the hours that I have presided over thia convention, and I now enjoy the greatest privilege that has come to me during the period I have presided— that of introducing one of the most distinguished leaders of the Democracy, the Hon. Ollie James, of Kentucky.” As Mr. James attacked the president for his tariff veto, Mrs. Taft snappily exchanged comments with her neigh bors. Her displeasure was evident. Mr. James provoked a Bryan demon stration when he referred to a “voice that cried out in the wilderness sixteen years ago.” Compares Record Os Two Parties. In Mr. James Speech he said: "I congratulate the Democrats cf the nation upon the fortunate auspices un der which we have assembled. Here no charge of bribery hovers above this hall, no cry of thief and robber is hurl ed by one fellcw Democrat at another. No soldiers stand In reserve to keep us from each other's throats. Our delib erations here shall be for the country's good. "There are two records that will be presented to the American people in the coming campaign for their consid eration. One is the record of the Re publican party with promises betrayed arrogantly deflnltly betrayed; and the other Is the record of the Democratic party of promises which fully and hon estly kept. One Is the Republican party itself recognizing that President Taft had been unfaithful to the great mass of Americans, refused by an hon est majority of the convention to re nominate him. "The Democratic party appealed on their record in the sixty-first congress upon the Payne-Aldrich tariff law to the American people, and have receiv ed them a verdict of guilty against the Republican party and the bestowal of power upon ourselves. How faithfully we have kept our premises to them is but a resume of cur official action."

Murphy, of New York; Thomas T. Taggart, of Indiana, and Roger C. Sul livan. of Illinois, the actual steering committee ot the Democratic national convention, today decided to fight the Bryan forces to a finish. They will make no compromise with Bryan. They want harmony, but they will not go so far as to join with the Ne braskan in electing a president unless •he is willing to accept their candidate. The three leaders will not support •Wilson, but are willing to unite on an other candidate not championed by Bryan. • That was the situation when the •third day's session was called to order •at noon by Chairman Parker. The trio today outlined the future ■conduct of the convention as follows; This afternoon: Action on majefrity and minority reports of the committee on credentials; selection of Ollie James, of Kentucky, as permanent chairman, and address by him. This evening: Hearing of speeches In nomination and seconding of candi dates for the presidential nomination; balloting upon presidential candidates with the possibility that three ballots will be taken and that that will be enough to settle the matter. Friday afternoon: Presentation of the report of the committee on resolu tions and action on the platform. Friday evening: Nomination of a candidate for vice president and final adjournment of the convention. This program will not vary very much, in the opinion of Taggart, Mur phy and Sullivan. Even though more ballots may be necessary for the presi dential nomination than they now fig ure upon, they Insist that the work of the convention will nevertheless be completed some time Friday night.

The Georgia senate today adopted the Beauchamp resolution to investigate the state board of health, postponed the hearing of a resolution calling on the governor to return appointments made by' Governor Smith and which did not meet the senate's approval, and got down to routine business. The house set the Tippins antl-near beer bill for a special order on July 1, as predicted in The Georgian yester day, and an amendment will be offered submitting the bill, if passed, to a vote of the people in October. It received a bill providing that women shall have the right to practice law' In Georgia, a bill to create a special department of Insurance, and passed a bill hanging over from last year appropriating $250 for a book case in the pension commis sioner's office, which required a half hour of the house's time. It adjourned shortly after 12 o’clock. The Tippins bill, which promises the principal fight of the session, will be . taken up next Monday. Two hours will be given each side for debate, and on the next morning at 10:30 o’clock the previous question w ill be called and the vote taken. Representative Adams, of Hall coun ty, will endeavor to amend the bill to make it meet the approval of Governor Brown, who has stated that he would veto any change in the existing prohi bition law which is not first submitted to the people. His amendment pro vides for a referendum at the next state election, the governor to approve It only in case the voters favor it. There has been serious doubt expressed as to the constitutionality of submitting a statute to public vote after its passage, and a hot fight is expected on the amendment, which might result In throwing the law out under a supreme court test. Smith Men Scent Plot in Appointees. Smith adherents in the state senate scent a plot to oust the former gov - ernor’s appointees on the board of edu cation. They are fearful if the Brown forces are victorious in the fight ovet the Sheppard resolution scheduled now for Tuesday, July 9, that Governor Brown will reappoint the members of the newly created state board of edu cation. This situation developed today more or less definitely through statements made by several of Senator Smith’s ac credited fojlowers in the senate. Brown men, they asserted, were by no means satisfied with the personnel of the state board and would take this op portunity to effect a change. It will be up to the senate to decide on legal grounds if the appointees on the educational board, along with the directors of the Augusta Medical col lege fall strictly under Smith’s uncon firmed appointments. All of these were originally appointments made under acts passed at the last session of the legislature. Os the educational board but one member was named by' Governor Brown. Walter Steed was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by' the death ot Judge R. G. Lawson, a Smith appoin tee. Smith leaders in the senate admitted today that there was little chance for the Sheppard resolution to pass. This view of the situation was advanced on every side by Senator Smith’s strong est henchmen. When Senator Sheppard, on the last night of the last summer’s session, ob tained a return of these appointments, the Smith men now believe he blun dered. Had the appointments remain ed with the senate they would now come up as unfinished business and the cause for their former rejection hav ing been removed, would stand an ex cellent chance for confirmation.
