“BRYAN HAS DRIVEN REPUTABLE MEN FROM PARTY’; Following is the statement made today by Albert Chapelle, delegate from California: “Mr. Bryan has destroyed the friendship of all of the good men of the country who are members of the Democratic party. The men who followed and sacrificed themselves during the years 1896, 1900 1908 for his sole benefit he has now entirely deserted and the reputa ble men of his party have now in turn deserted him.

"The ayes seem to have it,’ said the chairman. Everybody roared. Then the dele gation was duly polled.

Murphy was publicly thanked by Bryan for Tammany's good work. The day after the photograph was taken, The New York World, which supported Bryan for president, printed the following ac count of how the photograph was taken: A photographer contributed the real sensation of the hour. Forcing his way up to the SILENT Tammanyite and the TALKING candidate, standing side by side, he asked: — place him In the presidential chair— the only place you could give him." “Why did not you meet the will of the people?

If the New York delegation is tainted would not the same hold true at the time Bryan received that support?” “Won't you two gents kindly hook hands and have your pic tures took?’’ Bryan GRINNED and Murphy DIDN’T. “Say, Murphy, they want us to prove it,’’ laughed the candi date with a quizzical glance at his silent friend. For an instant Murphy hesitated. “Shall we do it?” cried the candidate, never taking his eye from Murphy’s face. “Sure thing,” snapped the New Yorker, and hand in hand Bryan and Murphy faced the camera. “Now all we need is one of those doves,” said the candidate, PULLING THE NOT ENTHUSIASTIC TAJVfMANYITE CLOSER TO HIM, while the watching crowd broke into laughter and ap plause. didate. preferring that the other can didates should submit their names to the people and that the. delegation of Massachusetts should so vote. ■ The Massachusetts delegation voted 21 ballots for Speaker Clark and then the friends of Mr. Foss, feeling that Speaker Clark could not he nominated and that none of the other candidates could be nominated, voted for Mr. Foss. "Governor Foss does not wish to stand in the way of the will of this convention, and, in the name of Eugene Noble Foss, I withdraw his name and say that Woodrow Wilson ” Mayor Fitzgerald said something else, but nobody heard it. There came a roar from the floor where the delegates were sea'ed and the galleries took it up. Representative J. J. Fitzgerald, of New York, next took the speaker’s stand and asked permission to make a statement, Unanimous consent was given. Thirty minutes before the twelfth session of the Democratic national con vention was scheduled to convene to day eight tired and sleepy delegates had taken their places on the floor. Banked around the seats next those reserved for the delegates on the main floor of the convention hall were, a hun dred spectators, mostly women. In the galleries a few more hundred spectators had gathered. Banks of empty seats rose behind them. The convention has ceased to be a novelty to the people id Baltimore. It had become a matter of hard work and enduran e to the dele gates. The Champ Clark forces were active today. An automobile load of mission aries left the Clark headquarters before the reconvening of the convention, with positive instructions to "buck up" the • lark adherents, win as many converts and return as many votes to the fold a» possible. The Clark leaders today took the po- sition that more than one-third of the convention vote can not be taken from them under any circumstances. In view of this. It is now their intention to “sit tight” and let the show con tinue indefinitely, if necessary. “If we can hold out. the others will ome hack,” said ex-Senator Dubois. “I believe that any man who gets the majority will get the nomination Champ Clark had it for eight ballots and he will have it again. Custom teaches us that he should have the rest. We are going to work, and the others may take notice that we have more than one-third; we want two-thlrds and if we don’t get it it will be up to them to get ft." At a Clark meeting today former Governor Dockery of Missouri spoke. “There Is no discouragement in the tight as I see it." ho safd. "Illinois has voted against us, but is still In lino. Kansas will be back. Many others will do the same. We have more than one third and we control the situation. Stand firm and wo will win." The missionaries who visited the va rious headquarters seeking converts were headed by Edward Harper, of Missouri. The missionaries reached the convention hall just before the session was to begin.

BWS AVARICE IS BLAMED FDR DEADLOCK Nehraskan’s Attitude at Con vention Assailed by Demo crats to Alfred H. Lewis. By ALFRED HENRY LEWIS. BALTIMORE. July 2.—While the bal loting for a presidential nominee goes on what shall one write about? Obvi ously comment, and comment of the most cursory kind, one’s single cave of refuge. Talk has largely swung and rattled upon that Bryan resolution, which, while pretending to be aimed disas trously at the "interests," possessed but the one purpose of trouble-making. If there be worth tn a proverb, Bryan's ears must have burned, for few were here to employ his name in conjunction with a compliment. When Bryan read his resolution Sulzer, of Now York, was for answering him from the platform. His fellows on the delegation prevailed, however, tn favor of letting the occa sion pass. “What I wanted to do," explained Sulzer, "was to ask Brother William J. whether or no August Belmont gave him $15,000 in the Parker 1904 cam paign to assist him in carrying Ne braska for the Democrats. Also I de sired to inquire how many thousand dollars August Belmont and others of his caste of millionaires contributed to Bryan's political campaign of 1908.” Ther! was other comment. Sulzer stood in no wise alone. The following might furnish a bird's-eye view of opin ion as it ran: Calls Bryan a Harpie. Stowe, of Massachusetts: "Bryan? What do I think of him? Go get Ritl finche's Mythology and read up about the 'Harpies.' Bpan is a Harpie’—the ’Harpie' of the Democratic party.” Ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio: “Bryan’s whole attitude in Baltimore has been one of bad manners and an assumption of party authority. For one, J reaent this attitude. I am tired of receiving orders from Bryan. Ob serve, I said 'receiving.’ I have never taken any of Bryan’s orders; never shall take any. I do not need Bryan to do my political thinking: do not re gard him as the keeper of the party conscience. My own belief is that the resolution was just a desperate effort, on Bryan’s part to Inject himself into the situation with the hope—-a wild one —that it would end in his becoming the convention’s nominee. "Did his resolution advance his chances of a nomination" If he ever had any, I should say that ft knocked them eternally on the head. I think we are seeing the last, of Bryan as a dominating figure in Democratic poli ties. and as one who wishes the party well, I thank the gods for It." Daltler. of Indiana—" The resolution itself was flapdoodle. It was bound to he adopted. It was as though he of fered a resolution, Resolved, That we as a party will not name a pickpocket for the presidency. Evervbndy must agree to that, none the less, to offer such a resolution was of worse an In sult to two delegates as regularly elect ■ ed as Bryan himself, and Bryan so meant It. I think he expected one or two results —a stampede that would nominate him again or the rejection of tl le resolution, which would give him an excuse to holt. Both his plans failed.” Wouldn't Vote For Him Again. Martin, of Iowa: "I voted for Bryan in 1900 and 1908; I wouldn't vote for hint now for the office of dog pelter. For six months he has been doing all h« knew to split the party. He’s doing all he knows how. There Is a big chance for a Democratic victory in November, and the thought of the Democrats winning and some other than himself the white house nominee has made Bryan frantic." A delegate from Nebraska who asks that his name be withheld: “Bryan has not astonished us of his own state. We know him. He's always selfish. Can you name a man he ever helped? Cun you name a man he ever tried to help? He is utterly selfish, utterly un grateful. We have an ex-mayor and an ex governor in Nebraska who can toll you all about it. Thus far at this convention he has hurt nobody but himself It will boa bright day for the Democracy when we're rid of him." Carroll, of Alabama: “Bryan's ac tion? It was what I should have ex pected Bryan is a composite of Pe< k snlff and Uriah Heep As hypocritical as Pecksniff, he has all of the pre tended humility based upon vicious ness which Dickens gave to Uriah Heep " Remember Bennett's Will? Baldwin, of Tennessee: “I've never W. J. BRYAN. heard much good of either Ryan or Belmont. On the other hand, I've never heard of anything so unalterably , mean as what Bryan himself admitted he did to old Dotard Rennett. If there's anything in the record of either Ryan or Belmont which for meanness can compare with Bryan's share in the Bonnett will business I will favor Bry an's resolution to throw th»m out of th" Democracy. The Bennett will? Why, you must have heard of it. If not. you can partially Instruct yourself at least by reading 'Bryan’s Appeal From Probate' in the 77 Connecticut Reports. Any lawyer can show it to you." Sanders, of Kansas: “That resolution and what claptrap oratory went with it w ere merely part of Bryan's plan tn get himself the nomination. Bryan is seek ing the nomination for the presidency. He will get it If there are enough hope less fools among the delegates to give it to him. Also, mark my words, if Bryan isn't nominated he’ll quit the party. Certainly that's the best of rea son for not giving it to him. Tall| of Slnbad the Sailor and his Old Man of the Sea; Bryan has been Democracy’s Old Man of the Sea, weighting down its shouiders and giving it the backache ever since the party was so unlucky as to hear of him."

The boy died on the way, and the doctors said that he never was conscious after ha was struck. While they were carrying the body of the unknown lad to physicians, his little playmate, Marion, had dashed in a frenzy of fright to the nearby Peach tree Inn. where he came upon Dr. J. A. Ally and told him that “a little boy had been killed and I must his mother.” Father Finds His Son Dead. Dr. Alley rushed the child to his au tomobile, found from the frightened fad that the dead child's home was on West Baker street and rushed there at all speed. When they reached the Rus sey home they found the mother out searching. When she came back for a moment in the frantic hope that her boy had returned they told her. She collapsed and for two hours the doctor worked over her to bring her back to consciousness. Meanwhile the body of her little boy lay unidentified in the Linden street sanitarium. Neighbors were searching everywhere for him. The father, hunt ing every block in the vicinity of hia home, ame upon a man who had seen an extra newspaper. The man told him that a boy who resembled Ralph had been hit and hurt and had been taken to the sanitarium by an automobile, but he did not tell him that the child was dead. Mr. Russey hurried to the sanitarium. There he saw that the boy was Ralph and that he was dead. When the father had somewhat re covered from the terrible blow of the discovery, he had the remains of his son sent to Patterson's undertaking rooms. Hill, the automobile chauffeur, said the accident was absolutely unavoid able and that he was not running more than five miles an hour when he struck the lad. He was taken into custody. Hill is the negro who won the only Carnegie medal ever awarded a col ored man, five years ago, when he saved the child of Thomas Preston by stopping a runaway near Peachtree street and Ponce DeLeon avenue at the risk of his own life.
