Wearv from the night of sensation of
surprise and tumult. the delegates
listened t<> the calling of the first few
state' with interest. Interjecting a few
stray demonstrations of the. lung-tired
b and. Then they settled back In their
chairs, many of them to slumber. Eyes
that had acquired black circles by the
sleepless vigil of the nighl. closed and
heads dropped. For all the world the
convention hall resembled a huge hen
nery In which the fowls were, drowsily
dozing on their perches, awaiting the
chanticleers reveille heralding the
breaking of the dawn.
And, tier incident, there had been an
early morning performance calculated
m break the nerves of the most dough
ty knight who ever stormed a political
castle or tilted headlong into a forlorn
hope
The clock on the east wall had
swung by the hour of midnight The
convention was still humming with the
sensational aftermath of William .1.
Bryan's attack upon the citadel of
finance when a delegate from one of
the states plucked his state standard
and rar. before the speakers' stand. It
was a signal th At seemed to be under
stood. so almost Instantly the leaders
from 22 states seized their standards
and. holding them like lances at rest,
rushed to the front of the speakers’
stand and massed for a demonstration.
Its rallying reason-to-be was soon
apparent. In the speakers' stand ap
peared- Miss Genevieve Clark, the win
some daughter of the candidate, whose
supporters had assembled before the
stand. Her dainty and fetching blue
gown was slashed with an American
flag She pulled the flag from het
gown and waved it
Never did action more promptly fol
low the flag
Clark's Daughter
Leads Tumult.
"Hur: ah for Genevieve." '-ailed a
delegate, and again and again tin cry
was repeated until the big armors re
sounded with the cheering of the Clark
followers. The swung woman stood at
ihe head of this tumult, as an enthu
siastic cheer leader and whip of the big
demonstration
Forty-five shouting cheering, howl
ing. horn.-blow ing minutes went by.
t lark's name was sent tn the 'oof and
echoed back again In a mighty chorus,
governed hr completely by the undulnt
tug form on the speakers’ stand as any
gn at band might have conducted by its
leader.
Delegates who had not taken off
their coats did so They tossed them
in the air. A vast tain of descending
< oats obscured the vision from the
speakers' stand for a moment, hut
when it had passed the Clark delegates
were seen evoluting war dances after
the most approved fashion of »he Sioux
in the palmy days befort Nelson Mil «
went West with a mission to fulfill
fn the meantim. New York's delega

unmoved. The Wilson delegates, hith

Conn., dean of the Yale law school an
swered the cail of lux state with a
speech placing Simeon E. Baldwin in
nomination H< went at the task as
a. writer preparing a leading story and
shot bls candidate's name into the very
first crisp sentence. The others had
prepared the verbal clothing for the
greatness of their men and then sud
denly dropped the man into the situa
tion as a climax designed to start the
applause.
The Baldwin guard, few, but devoted,
had determined that none should depart
the hall without recalling that Connec
ticut bad made a brave start. A bright
blue banner bearing the Baldwin pa
tronymic in letters of gold, flashed up
from the Connecticut delegation. So
did the delegates from the state of nut
megs. The Underwood delegates full
of the courtesy of Dixieland, sent in
their rooters to aid the Baldwin noise
on its merry way
Also, there wore volunteer rootera.
From the gallery a large delegation
shouted tne praises of the man from
home. A squad of college boys, many
from Yale, had dropped into the half
empty- press box Io be on hand at the
crucial moment They rah-rahed them
selves Into the situation with the force
and effect that chn only come of long
training in intercollegiate lung com
bats.
The Baldwin echoes died. In the
slow, monotonous drawl of his kind, the
weary clerk called the state of Dela
ware. >
"Deiawari vields io New .leraey," an
'wired the chairman of the delegation.
Gridiron Stars
Lead Procession.
It was the cue for the Wilson plrtyets
Io sally from the wings and take tire
venter of the stage Every man jack
of the Wilson host was straining at
the leash awaiting the call, like the
industrious actor in "Uncle Tom's Cab
in.' who frequently stampeded rural
audiences by their canine eagerness to
reach the footlight space
“Woodrow Wilson, the Yankee Doo
dle candidate." was the title of a long
streamer that was thrown across the
aisle. The procession of Wilson states
formed around the aisles. In the line
were mariy gay banners, with state
ensigns that bore the legend: "Give us
Wilson and we will give you Texas,"
the wording being changed to fit the
several statis. The colors of Prince
ton were prominent in the parade. Old
football stars, men whose names had
decorated the brilliant stories of grid
iron prowess had the lead in handling
the host.
From the press box there climbed a
man car'y ing a lit e rooster under his
arm. The new-comer resembled one
who has paid a call upon a neighbor's
hennery without any invitation and
departed without leaving a card In
vain did the man with the feathered
friend try- to get ins huge chanticleer
to summon the Wilson dawn.

Bryan Says: "'Boss Murphy Controls"
"Tim country is now able to look upon the amazing spectacle of a national convention con
trolled h.v a national committee, that committee controlled by a sub committee of sixteen, the
sub committee controlled by a group of eight men. these men controlled by Hoss Murphy ami
Boss Murphy controlled by Thomas Fortune Ryan. Mr. Ryan, Mr. Be)mont and Mr. Morgan have
municipal work in New York and Brooklyn that will involve the letting of contracts
amounting to more than $250,000,000. This group of financiers also has large financial inter
ests in many of the groat cities, and wherever they work they need a political boss. Some
of their bosses work under the name of Democrats and some bear the Republican label, but
they all work for their masters. Those big financiers have been using the organizations of the
two leading parlies Io do their service.”—William .Jennings 'Bryan in telegram to Thy St. Louis
Post-1 )ispateh.
' when the Wilson demonstration, lack
ing some of the vigor of the Clark
epoch which had preceded in the ear
ly part of the big business of the even
ing. sank to rest, and it was fifteen
minutes before its echo had sufficiently
subsided to permit the business of tlie
convention to take a fresh hitch on It
self.
<>f lire 15,006 persons who had
jammed the hall to a point that created
fear for their safety mote than 9,000
yet remained at the expense of sleep
and rest. Os these many were women,
who clung to tlie thread of the rapidly
developing national chapter in history
w ith all of the tenacity that would have
been expected from only the more
steeled of the old politician.
Then Judge John W. Westcott came
to nominate Wilson. Really lie second
'd the nomination made in chorus from
tlie floor. Tire Jersey judge proved that
oratory was not tire exclusive product
of the South, where they make a speech
every time a watermelon is cut and
children are taught to address their fa.
tilers from the cradle as "Mr. Chair
man."
He talked well and earnestl? . Often
there came applause that stopped the
flow of oratory. The Judge got through
with his verbal decorative work at 4
o’clock and with the full picture before
them with its high lights worked in
their proper places and the contrasts
duly plumed in oratorical splendor, the
Wilson delegates again broke louse.
Small Outburst
For Gov. Marshall.
Thirteen minutes later the chairman,
by the aid of the gavel and tlie ser
geants-at-arms, cleared the aisles and
J. R Anderson, of Georgia, arose to
second the nomination of Underwood.
For < lark, Douglas Patterson, of Illi
nois. performed a similar pleasing
task.
Then came Senator Shi veil , of In
diana. to place the Marshall name on
tile roll call as one worthy of tlie chief
nomination When ire had finished a
band rrrarcheri down tlie front aisle
bearing tlie Marshall gonfalon and a
small demonstration, some nine min
utes in size, followed. Tlie Indiana del
egation was prominent in the excite
ment. It had a brass band to lead it
and a banner to blazon its wishes on
high. Two hundred rooters carried
lithographs through the ball and a
small a?nty of men anil boys put the
American flag actively to work tn the
interest of tire man from the “Bank
of tlie Wabash. Far Away, which for
warding address was furnished by the
band
At the end of tlie. Marshall demon
stration Judge P. O'Brien, of Michigan,
seconded the nomination of Wilson
More cheers. John H I'utnmings. of
Michigan, put- the Clark half ■ f ills del
egation on record in a seconding offor:
for tlie man from Missouri. Still more
Cheers. Alfred J Jacques, of Minne
sota. seconded the Wilson cause, and
Governor Earl Brewer, of Mississippi,
' inre along with a few kind word' for
I'ndorwood
But tlie convention was weary. It
hungered for action and thirsted for
'in h knowledge as might cwme from
the calling of the roll mi the main
qip-tion. Tlie delegati “ interrupted
th. speakers time and time again.
B; w> was followed in ten tninui ■-
by Charles F Town, of Colorado, who
lop'm •; that (’lark was . inning undr
I th'- ni.. ,i w inri'i and congratulated
th- convention on sticking around t..

leased. without condition, tlie men who
were for him.
Burke Delegates
Go to Wilson.
Doyle then settled on the problem of
the night. He seconded the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson and sent the ten
votes of the Burke faith solidly into tlie
Wilson canlp. This recruiting expedi
tion brought some more cheers from
those who adore a tiger other than that
of the Tammany family.
Governor Harmon was brought along
to join tlie fighting first rank. M. A.
Daugherty, of Ohio, picked for his
prowess as a good holder of attention,
made tlie speech. When ho told tlie
delegates that Governor Harmon was
the man who had "transformed Ohio
from a Democratic dead sea to a Dem
ocratic paradise." tlie delegates gave
noisy and sincere evidence of their ap
proval of that service, which, in many '
delegates' eyes, constituted a para
mount issue.
It was at 5:45 o'clock when Mr.
Daugherty came to recommend that the
party carry a buckeye in its nomination
pocket to guard against the election
rheumatism of the fall. His references
to Governor Harmon's services as at
torney general, to his stand for reform
and progress in Ohio politics and to
his balance mentally were all received
with aplause and with cheers.
It required a vigorous use of the
gavel, to cut short tlie demonstration
that Senator Gore of Oklahoma, the
blind leader of his state's delegation,
might raise his voice for Wilson. The
si nator came to the stand at 5:58
o'clock.
It was a dramatic scene that found
tile man without sight, led to the stand
by friendly hands and respected by
those who were at dagger's point witli
Ills cause, pleading for tlie nomination
of the Princeton president. He was
sure that Wilson had both availability
and ability, and he aroused the good
humor of tlie delegates by declaring:
"During the last three and one-half
years President Taft has been busy
carrying out the policies of Theodore
Roosevelt—on a stretcher."
He predicted that witli Wilson in
the field against tlie Republicans there
would be only six states on the Re
publican -side when the returns were
counted in November
Then it was tabloid talk, with the
. delegates unwilling to listen and tire
galleries making it impossible for the
speaker to be heard. Scott Ferris, of
Oklahoma, seconded the dark nomina
tion nt 6:17 oTloek He dwelt upon
('lark's friend = hip for the farmer and
the laboring man. and started new ap
plause A. .Mitchell Palmer, tlie young
leader who took the place of t'olonel
James Gussi as tin head "f the Penn
sylvania delegation when the regular
out-turning "f the colonel took place,
seconded the Wilson fight.
Representative Flood, of Virginia
who had taken a prmiiinent part in
tire Bri an resolution debate of tlie early
evening, eame to second Underwood
at 6:24, and sei en minutes later John
Walsh, of Wisconsin, put the Wisconsin
seal of approval or the Wilson end of
I the fight.
Senator E. D Smith, of South t'aro
lina, followed in flu minutes witli an
appeal for Wilson, anti at 6:37 laife
Pence, formerly "f I'olot.tdo, but now
of the District of Columbia, finished
the work by s. oiniing Clark for the
last time.
Roll Call of
States Started.
"tUII the riel call the roti." shouted,

pieirgite- i«. tlrev got ba . briiiip.t their

ing. Then there came comparatively
good order.
“The secretary will call the roll of
■states.” yelled the chairman, sending
his words along like disjointed freight
cars, which, having broken their coup
lings. are halting upon a dead level.
"Tlie state of A-l-a-b-a-m-a," call
ed the secretary.
Down the list of states went tlie call,
tlie delegates sitting up and taking no
tice when the uninstructed and doubt
ful states were called and then drop
ping back, listlessly, in their seats.
Many of the delegates dropped their
heads upon their wilted and soiled
•shirt fronts and slept the sleep that
comes at length to the just and the un
just alike.
The call was finished.
From the mass of struggling dele
gates on the floor, as they aroused
themseltves for the next movement,
there came a motion to adjotyn until 4
o'clock this afternoon.
"No!" shouted half of the delegates,
ready and willing to carry the sleepless
fight to a, finish—to make an endurance
test that would stand for all political
time.
"The question is upon the motion
that the convention do now take a re
cess until 1 o’clock this afternoon."
shouted the chairman. “All in favor
of that motion will signify by saying
aye."
"Aye," called back a drowsy and
sleepy multitude.
"All opposed, no." went along the
chair.
“No." shouted tlie active youngsters,
wlio wanted to keep up tlie fight.
"The ayes have It.” said the chair,
"and the convention stands tn recess
until 4 o’clock.”
The band woke up. It played a more
or less lively air as the delegates went
hence. Thirty minutes later the Demo
cratic party was at harmony on one
point—it was snoring.

' This proposition was made to nie

to Colonel Roosevelt." said Governor
Hadley. “I refused to consider or dis

Nothing to It But
Clark, Says James
, BAETIMORE, June 28.—Ollie Jarno.?
! permanent chairman of the Democratic
. national convention, speaking as a del
i egate from Kentucky, today predicter
1 the nomination of Champ Clark on thf
second ballot.
"Clark on the next ballot when th'
convention convenes at 4 o'clock this
i afternoon, is the way it looks to me.'
! he said. "I am speaking, you under
i stand, only as a member nf the Ken
tucky delegation and the delegation i =
instructed for Clark. Os com se, I nei d
not say that I am no seer and nr
prophet, and that the forecast I an
making might go wrong. But from
what I am able to infer as to the trend
of things, there is no one else to it but
Clark. Understand, my state Is in
structed for Clark. But aside from
that, and speaking only as a member
of that delegation, I believe I am vievv.
ing it in an absolutely fair and sound
way when I say that there is nothing
to it but Clark."
“Between Kern and Gaynor.” Says Hall
"Tlie race now is for a dark horse,
and the contest has narrowed down to
a choice between Kern and Gaynor,"
said P. L. Hall, national committee
man from Nebraska, and right-hand
man of Colonel Bryan, today. "I am
basing this opinion on a close study of
tlie situation as outlined by develop
ments which have tints far occurred.
All other candidates, and this includes
Clark, Wilson and Underwood, seem Io
have been eliminated. Clark i-pent his
strength on the first ballot and from
now on will grow weaker. Wilson and
some of the others may grow a trffl
stronger as the ballotting proceeds, bu*
it will be a fictitious strength and none
of the candidates will gather enough
power to win.
"Both Korn and Gaynor are accept
able to ail factions of the Democracy,
especially Gaynor, who is growing vis
ibly stronger In tlie Western states,
where tlie delegates are very friendly
toward him."
Here's What Politicians Think.
Other prominent Democrat? com
menting on the first ballot on the nomi
nation ami the Bryan resolution said:
Clark Howell, Georgia: "The reso
lution will not affect, the ballots on
nominating in any way."
J. Thomas Heflin. Alabama: "It. look?
like Undetwood by 10 o’clock tonight."
Theodore A. Bell, California: "It ap
pears to me that Clark will win on an
early ballot today."
Edwin <>. Wood, Michigan: “I am
convinced the Bryan resolution will
prove a serious setback to Wilson. Tha
personal feeling against Bryan among
the delegates was so strong It can not
help having Its effect."
Judge G. i fucker, Michigan: “I do
not think Bryan's resolution will weak
en M ilson s chances. Wilson's strength
will grow, and Ire will secure tlie nomi
nation It will take several ballots."
