I and it was obvious that something | must have to give way under strain or I pressure before the complexion of the I day's news changed as to the figure- , making t'hief among the unknown quantities , that were in part solved by the early morning vote and w hich clarification is here first made plain was the utin structed list. This list, originally con taining 184 votes, had been reduced to 178 by the dropping of the Philippines from the total, which same operation In political mathematics changed the total Vote of the convention to 1.088 : anil made the number essential to a nomination 725 1-3 by the two-thirds | majority rule of the convention.

The eonserva- I tive vote from the unknown list, there. ! fore, becomes of the utmost importance ' in making subsequent .adulations as to what .an take plate in event of a 1 long drawn out combat Putting further the meat of the po litical breakfast before the fruit of the early morning of struggle, with its pic- ' turesque spots, daring sorties and bril liant sidelights, and the moments when the spotlight could not be turned tap- ■ idly enough to do justice to all of the leading actor, the net result shows that 3fi3 votes, held cohesively, will prolong the convention Indefinitely. It shows that Wilson, generally < onceded to rep resent the Bryan last ditch strength, needs 39 vote® to make sure of this deadlock. And it is remembered that Bryan on the lowest of hie test votes of strength sin. e the convention began, he'd 147 more votes than is necessary tn tie up the voting until such time as he is satisfied with the candidate. Whether nr not he can still hold this , 147 votes is a matter that no man. s Jealous of his propheti. reputation, would care t'> make the subject a defi nite statement. As a strong factor -n this calculation it must be considered that a la ge ele ment of the delegates desire victor.' and harmony without ®o much regard to personal Issue- Tennessee e rlkingb illustrates this element on th. fi st bal lot when she cast six votes each for Clark, Wilson Harmon and Under wood. dividing exactly between the radical and the conservative wings of the party voice New York Free To Flop at Will. As for tile New York vote, it can be taken as no .criterion of the f ume «< - tion of the state. Undoubtedly It rep resented the sentiment of toe controll ing factors In the delegation. Possibly it did not represent the political Judg ment of the same leaders They ate free to throw toe vote any way they please, and it is assured beyond the question of any man that It will be thrown In subsequent ballots In that direction w hich will most surely tend to defeat Mr. Bryan.

Col. Pendleton in Ec stasy as He Casts the State’s Vote for South ern Man—G ra ph i c Story of the Conven tion Turmoil and De monstration forClark. By JAMES B NEVIN. BALTIMORE, June 28. —The Georgia delegation was enthused and highly elated today over the showing Under wood made in the’first ballot in the convention recorded at 7:10 this morn ing. Underwood polled, under th. ab rogation of the unit rule, something l like 20 more votes in the first ballot' than the Georgians expected. He is: generally regarded not only by the! Georgians themselves, but scores of. delegates from other delegations. Ls by fat the most conspicuous so-called dark horse possibility before the con vention now’. The Georgians confidently predict that Underwood will show ever finer form on the second and third ballots, although they do not look for his nom ination on an early ballot, of course. From the very first, the Georgians have received encouraging reports from the New York delegation, and Tom Tag gart this morning said his Indianans look not with any degree of disfavor on Underwood as an eventual proposi tion. Talking Underwood Only. Ihe Underwood organization inside the convention is compact and aggres sive. Wherever it may go. should a break from the Alabaman come, it isn't talking anything but Underwood for the nomination today. It Is generally understood that Champ Clark will get Geoi gla a vote when Georgia switches, if she does switch, as has been po!r< ed mil before, but rhe delegation sees no switching point in sight right now. If Clark should show up strong on the second ballot, and Underwood fall off. it is possible that Georgia might swing into the speaker's column on the third ballot. It seems more likely how - ever. that it will not swing away from I nderwood to anybody soon. Strageti cally, the Georgians believe Under wood's position this morning to be ideal. A Crazy Night. One wonders at the futility and ut ter uselessness of adjectives when he attempts to tell In intelligent language of that wild, crazy, thrilling wearisome, awful night here in the Fifth regiment armory in old Baltimore town, just passed into history. Whatever Bedlam was or is. that was worse. A man sitting next to me atone about midnight said there weye 2!».'firm people in the building Jt struck me as rather curious that lye .didn't say 29.467 or 28.998, or something Jike'.tliat. for all he knew.

I think the adjective that fits th needs of this reportorial moment more nearly than any other is. crazy. Last night was a crazy night, a lunatic night perhaps. In that a lunatic is said to have perfectly safe and sane intervals at times. Anyway. I marveled that men could lose all seeming sense of proportion upon so-little provocation r.ow and then and behave so much like monkeys and’very small children with out, In calmer retrospect, anv actually compelling cause The Clark Upheaval However that, may be, | | ea ve to heads more ,-lear. to pens more sure and to tongues more confident than mine to -ay this morning.

That's a mistake, however, for after the Clark round I retired witli well earned laurels and victorious eag:es My demonst: ation average stood then easily at .999, Pendleton in Ecstasy. Colonel Pendleton said last night, on the way to the convention hall, that he was going there to perform the sweetest and most satisfactory service to Democracy he ever had performed. He was going to east, for the first time since the war, Georgia's vote in a nom. inating convention for a Southern man, Oscai Underwood And the grim old w ir horst of Bibb sat tight through all the wearisome hours of the night and iht morning, and well after dawn there I- unit to him that opportunity foi Horse—Kindly Eyes For Champ Clark DESCRIBING ‘CRAZY NIGHT' THREE INTERESTED SPECTATORS AND A WOMAN DELEGATE AT BALTIMORE <'opyright, 1912, by International News Service.
