About this nest egg of conservatism

are markedly conservative. They

ability to prevent any nomination that
did not please them.

REJECTING CLARK DENIES
RIGHT OF PEOPLE TO RULE
—W. R. HEARST
BALTIMORE. July 1. The Clark
position was today stated with di
rectness and with.inm h of expres
sion that shows the real sentiment
of the <'lark leaders by William
Randolph Hearst, who h;ys been a
prominent figure In the Clark cam
paign. After reviewing the cam
paigns of the past in which Mr.
Bryan figured. Mr. Hearst said In a
formal statement:
"I came to this convention to
support progressive principles and
a progressive candidate, and to
oppose the political bosses and the
privileged interests as I have al
ways done and always will do. I
came here to support the Demo
cratic candidate, even though it
was William J. Bryan, although I
and every other friend of Mb. Bry
an have come to know that he Is
never grateful for a service nor
loyal to a friend,
"The spirit which I felt seem'd
to me to bo shared by nearly every
other Democrat that I met at this
him as a harmony . andidate. if it de
velops that this can not bo and 'hat an
outside candidate will have to be taken,
then. I would he tickel dto death to see
th*' vote swing to either Senator Kern
or Senator Shively. Either of the sen
ators from my state will suit me.”
Roger Sullivan, the Chicago leader,
was asked about th*' prospects for an
adjournment and the possible syviteh
ing to a dark horse candidate. He re
plied to all of the questions: "1 don't
know .“
Anil he didn’t. There was no ques
tion hut that h*' was seeking the light
with all of th* energy of an able politi
cal seaman who is hovering over a
whirling compass try ing to guess where
the needle will stop when the disturb
ance in the dompi'-s box ends.
As for Mi. Murphy , he told his friends
that his lielegation y ould not be expect
ed to go to Wilson ami that the best
thing to do was to sit on the Clark life,
raft until a settlement was seen on the
horizon.

make their pretensions to progres

seem as if it had been Mr. Bryan's
deliberate Intention to destroy fa
vorable prospects of the Demo

victory for progressive principles
w hich seemed certain.
" To accomplish this. Mr. Bryan

I NELLIE BLY PICTURES i
I BIG CONVENTION AS A
HIVEOF HUMAN BEE9’
By NELLIE BLY
BALTIMORE, July I.—lt's buzzing
. like a mammoth swarm of bees. Bryan
came on with a small demonstration;
not as much as was expected. The del
egates are all in their seats. The jour
nalists are filing in slowly. Many seats
are still empty in the press section,
although every seat in the building out
side of this section is filled.
Mrs. Tafl comes in just, three min
utes after Mr. Bryan. She sits in the
balcony on the first row, dressed in a
purple linen coat and skirt with a white
shirtwaist, wearing a chain around
her neck, her hat turned up at the side
and having a big wing. It is all solid
purple, a deeper shade than her gown.
A few cheers. That means Bryan
has gone oyer to speak to Mrs. Taft.
She smiles and the women with her
look delighted. They are not abashed
by the 48.000 eyes centered upon them
for a moment. They seem to enjoy the
sensation.
Bryan goes back to his place on the
platform. He looks satisfied. I wonder
if he has a promise of what he most
desires.
The chairman raps for order, and
prayer is offered. The entire audience
stands so far as the eye can detect.
The Only Murphy is standing. He is
. in his shirt sleeves. Almost the en
tire audience Is in its shirt sleeves;
still I can't see Mr. Ryan. The white ,
hat of a woman In the next chair is I
visible. Prayer Is over.
Twenty-four thousand persons sit I
down at once. The movement is ac- •
companied by human voice sounds like
a long, loud, threatening roll of thun
der.
Hears Bryan Rap Belmont.
The meeting is called to order. Some
one gets up anil objects. He says the
ilelegates are stopped by the police and
can't get in. The chairman rules that
the police should clear the hall and
give admission to ah delegates.
Bryan gets up to make a speech at
tacking Thomas F. Ryan. August Bel
mont and those representing them.
It is funny. Who could tell who rep
resents those vast moneyed interests?
A man gets on the platform and pro
tests against the criticism of Mr. Ryan,
who is a delegate from Virginia. Some
one yells from the gallery and the po
lice go to the man. lie ought to have
been put out because he wore a vest.
it is a bully move of Mr. Bryan’s. It
appeals to those who haven’t got any
money.
Have y ou ever noticed how those who
have no claim to fame struggle to be
little the famous? Do you notice how
those who have not the ability to make
money hold up as if in shame those
who can?
oh. that ntastet stroke', Who con
ceived the idea, no one tells, but it was
I* speech that appealed to the envy and
hate of the people.
I had to like the man because he
dared to say what we all know.
It takes courage to do that. But he
had the courage because be was face to
face with defeat. It was dare or die.
When the uproai got so bad that
Bryan could not be beard. Hal Flood,
of Virginia, put his arms around Bry -
an's- neck and whispered to him for at
least ten minutes. When partial quiet
was restored, I felt sorry for Mr. Ryan.
He was a delegate and whether he had
money or no money hi' rights were as
good as Mr. Bryan s. It was discour
teous to say the least. Mr. Ryan could
not reply. He had to stand all the
abuse of the eloquent Rrvan

Mrs. Taft Watches.
But leave it to the gentlemen from
Virginia. They were gallant a'hd
brave. They meant that no outsider
should criticize their choice, their,’se
lection or their fellow delegates. <
I write this as the roll call on.
The buzzing of the mammoth bee
swarm goes on with an occasional »-
proof from the platform. Mrs. Taft

ously through opera glasses. She is
quiet. A woman on her right who
looks as ’f she had sacrificed every bird
