I now offer that appeal.” -I do want an appeal,” came the Washingtonian's voice. All of the delegates In the house excepting the Washington delegation voted to sustain the chair. “The ayes seem to have It,” said the chairman. Everybody roared. Then the dele gation was duly polled. The Washington vote developed for the first time in the proceedings that a woman was taking part in the voting. There had be»n no occasion to call the Washington roll and very few persons knew that May Arkwright Sutton, of Spokane, was doing the honors of the suffrage cause. She voted for Clark. Bankhead Withdraws Underwood's Name. At the close of the forty-fifth ballot Senator J. H. Bankhead, of Alabama, came to the stand. He asked unani mous consent to make a statement. .There was no objection, and he pro ceeded: ‘■‘Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: Mr. Underwood entered this contest hoping that he might se cure the nomination from this conven tion. "But I desire to say for him that his first and greatest hope was that through this movement he might be able to eliminate and eradicate for all time every vestige of sectional feeling in this country. "Mr. Underwood today was willing to forego this nomination if he had succeeded and if the country had con cluded that Mason and Dixon’s line had b<mn trampled out and that this is once more united country. We have demonstrated here, my friends, in my judgment, that no longer does sectional feeling exist. "The liberal treatment that Mr. Un derwood has received in the East has satisfied him that If they had an op portunity to nominate him they would rush to his aid. “Mr. Underwood does not enter this contest to defeat any man for the nom ination. He will not be a party to the defeat of any candidate. His only hope was that the great record he had made; his belief was that under his leader ship things had been achieved that would have assured the election of a Democrat at the next election.* “He has always said: 'I take no per sonal part in this campaign. I have no time. I have a full man’s work cut out for me at Washington and I want to make it possible to elect the Democrat ic nominee, whoever he may be.’ (Ap plause.) “Upon that high ground he stands today. Upon that high ground he will stand tomorrow and all other days. He had no concern beyond that which comes to any man who desires to win. “But I think the time has come when it has been demonstrated that he can not be nominated tn thia convention. "And he can not be used to defeat the nomination nf any other candidate. He and his friends are ready and will ing to give the nominee of this conven tion their hearty support. “He and his friends have stood on every Democratic platform that has been written since 1896.

Murphy at the Lincoln, Nebr., station when Tammany was returning from the Denver convention, where Tammany had unanimously supported Bryan. 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: ing to speak and throw the 24 Under wood votes in his state to Wilson. There was great disorder. Stone Releases Clark Delegates. Senator Stone, of Missouri, asked unanimous consent to have the roll call vacated while he made a statement. The convention waited with little pa tience to hear w hat he had to say. He began: ' Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: I desire to say that, speaking for Mr. Clark. I will release, if release be necessary, any obligation imposed on any delegation in tills con vention. “The delegations which have stood by him so loyally will ever be remembered by him and by his friends with devoted memory. "I would not have them act on an other ballot under a sense of obliga tion to him. I would have them act as they think best. “So far as the Missouri delegation is concerned, under the peculiar circum stances that have surrounded this con vention and its proi endings, we shall vote for Speaker Clark until the last ballot. "If the verdict shall be against him and in favor of another, I need not go to the trouble of telling these members of this convention that old Champ Clark and his friends will support him.” Governor Foss’ Name Out, Too. Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston came next with a request to have a word while the ballot remained vacated. He said : "Mr. Chairman. Massachusetts has voted for the past dozen or more ballots a majority of her delegates for the gov ernor of our commonwealth, Eugene Noble Foss. In the Massachusetts con test some time ago he was not a can 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 be 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 seated and the galleries took it up. Representative .1 J. Fitzgerald, of New York, next took the speaker’s stand and asked permission to make a statement. Unanimous consent was gix »n. Thirty minutes before the twelfth THE ATLANTA QEORGLAN AND NEWS.

Banked around the seats next those reserved for the delegates on the main floor of the convention hail 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 of Baltimore. It had become a matter of hard work and endurance 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 Clark adherents, win as many converts and return as many votes to the fold as 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 come back.” 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 and If we don't get it it will he up to them to get it."

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 orc of those doves,” said the candidate, FULLING THE NOT ENTHUSIASTIC TAMMANYITE CLOSER TO HIM, while the watching crowd broke into laughter and ap plause. third and we control the situation. Stand firm and we 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. The hall filled slowly. In company room F the members of the New York delegation gathered for a caucus. A rumor circulated on the convention floor said that 27 members of the dele gation favored dropping the unit rule and voting for Wilson. New Yorker Moves To Suspend Rules. "The desire of every Democrat in this convention," said Mr. Fitzgerald, "Is to leave this hall united, harmonious and with victory assured. Every' loyal Dem ocrat should be willing to subordinate his ]>ersonal desire to the success of the party. "In the hope that this convention may adjourn without bitterness, without hard feeling, without rankling talk that may affect the chances of any candi date, we are willing to acquiesce in what appears to be the overwhelming will of this convention, and I move, as a member of the New York delegation, and as a Democrat, anxious to see my state in the Democratic column, the roll call be dispensed with and the dis tinguished Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, of New- Jersey, be nominated by accla mation." The aisles had become congested. Delegatee came to the front to hear the speaker. When Fitzgerald closed hie speech, the vast crowd stood on chairs and ap plauded to the echo. It was exactly 2:40 o'clock when the demonstration started. Throughout all the din the Missouri delegation sat silently in place watching the hilarious delegates from other states celebrating the breaking of the great deadlock and the victory of Wilson. "The motion of the gentleman from New York requires unanimous con sent," said the chair. "Is there any ob jection ?" Senator Reed, of Missouri, came to the stand and said: "Without the slightest desire to cre ate any feeling or resentment, I make the objection because Missouri wants the opportunity of being represented on this ballot for old Champ Clark." F. H McCullough, of Edlnah, Mo„ asked unanimous consent to make a statement Ho said: "As a delegate from Missouri, I de sire to say that no people ever loved a man aa the Democrats of Missouri have loved old Champ Clark. I desire also to sav that Senator Stone voiced the solid opinion of the delegation. We are all for Clark, from first, last, and all the time, but we also stand for har mony and victory.” Reed Forces Call of Rail. When the noise had subsided. Senator i Reed, of Missouri, refused to give unan imous consent to the motion. The roll call was demanded. "Cail the roll," ordered the chairman. "Alabama." shouted the clerk. "Twenty-four votes for Wilson,” said Governor O’Neill. The delegates sent up a yell. When Earl Brewer, of Mississippi, cas the vote of his state for Wilson, tlie good-natured crowd gave a long shout. Missouri stood gallantly by her guns. She went down fighting and ehqerfng. ' When her name was called the chair man replied: "Missouri casts 36 votes for Champ , Clark.” Instantly' every man in the delega tion was on his feet shouting. All hats went into the air and the dele gation sent up one mighty cheer. 'Jhe test of the convention admired the dashing picture. With one accord the, other delegates sent up a cheer for the fighting man of Missouri, while the women in the balcony waved hand kerchiefs and screamed. California was reached at the end of the roll. Again Theodore Bell sought to speak. California had passed on the regular call. Bell wanted to explain his own personal vote. The delegates howled him down J. Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago, beg ged the convention to hear Mr. Bell. When Mr. Bell got to the stand there was cries of “No, No." "Give him a show," begged the ser geant-at-arms. Tlie tumult kept up. Mr. Bell proceeded: “I want to assure you that when I return to California I shall take up the fight for Woodrow Wilson. Before I announce the vote of my delegation on the last roll call I serve notice that if given opportunity after the vote is registered I shall move to make th? nomination of Wilson unanimous. My state for 43 successive roll calls cast 26 votes for Champ (’lark and we de termined unanimously that so long as there was a chance left to register out vote in what we believed to be a just and honorable place. California now upon the last roll call does her part as she sees it. She now easts 24 for 'Champ Clark and 2 for Wilson." Three cheers were given and the state of Ohio called Wilson 33.

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 in 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 New York, was for answering him from the platform. His fellows on the delegation prevailed, however, jn favor of letting the occa sion pass. "What I wanted to do,” explained Sulzer, "was to ask Brother William J. w’hether 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 ,J3ryan'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 Bul finehe's Mythology and read up about the 'Harpies.' Bryan is a ‘Harpie’-—the ‘Harpie' of the Democratic party.” Ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio: "Bryan's whole attitude in Baltimore has been one of nad manners and an assumption of party authority. For one, I resent 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 it knocked them eternally on the head. I think we are seeing the last of Bryan as a dominating figure tn Democratic poli tics, and as one who wishes the party well, 1 thank the gods for it.” Dahler, of Indiana—" The resolution Itself was flapdoodle. It was bound to be adopted. It was as though he of fered a resolution. Resolved. That we as a party will not name a pickpocket for the presidency. Everybody 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 the resolution, which would give him an excuse to bolt. 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 him now for the office of dog pelter. For six months he has been doing all he 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? Can you name a man he ever tried to help? He is utterly selfish, utterly un grateful. We have an vx-mayor and an ex governor in Nebraska who can tell you all about it. Thus far at this convention he has hurt nobody but himself. It will be a bright day for the Democracy w’hen 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 Peck sniff 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 heard much good of either Ry.an 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 Bennett. If there’s anything in the record of either Ryan or Belmont which for meanness can compare with Bryans share in the Bennett will business I will favor Bry an's resolution to throw them out of the Democracy. The Bennett will'? Why, you must have heard of it. If not, you can partially instruct your.’-eif at least by reading Bryan's Appeal From Probate' in the 77 Connecticut Reports. Any lawyer can show it to you." COTTON MILLS PAY DIVIDENDS.

STRAYING CHILD KILLED BY AUTD Tot Three Struck Down ilf Peachtree by Machine Driven by Carnegie Medal Winner. Three-year-old Ralph Russey, of 86 West Raker street, ran away from his home to play in the streets for the first time in his life today, and while his parents searched throughout the city for him he was run down and killed at the corner of Peachtree street and 9 Merritts avenue by the automobile of - Willis E. Ragan, the merchant, driven ? by John Hill, the only negro w-ho has f ever received a Carnegie hero medal. George S. Russey, secretary of the I Atlanta Woodenware Company and fa ther of the child, came upon his son's body in the Davis-Fisher sanitarium, t where it had been carried. He had ’/ [, heard that a child who resembled his ' , lost little son had been hurt by an au- *’ , tomobile. When he was brought In to ! make sure of the identification he was I told that the lad had been dead for , several hours. Both the father and mother were prostrated and are under doctors’ care. Mother Makes f i Vain Hunt for Child. At 7 o’clock this morning Ralph > climbed out of bed to eat an early breakfast with his father and be kissed good-bye as the latter hurried to his office. He toddled down the street a I block with Mr. Russey, then started ’ back homeward w’ith a promise to be a 1 good boy and stay close at home until his father should return tonight But on the way back he met a little : playmate. Marion Cain, who lives just two doors away, and Marion knew of a great heap of sand that some house builders had piled up near the comer of Peachtree street and Merritts avenue, and the tots agreed that it would be great fun to run over there and dig out > a Robinson Crusoe cave. Ralph's mother, Mrs. Russey, missed her son when ten minutes had gone by ‘ and he did not come back from the i walk with his father. She called at all ' the neighbors’, but none had seen him. I At the Cain homestead they told her that Marlon had strayed away, too, ' Mrs. Russey grew very much frighten ' ed, fearing that some harm might come i to her child. She a skp<l neighbors to help her in the search and she called ' her husband on the telephone and he > left his office and hurried homeward, asking at every block if any one had ’ seen a boj' resembling his son. Struck by Auto; Crowd Threatens. r Meanwhile the two little lads had i found the sand heap they sought for c and were playing behind the great pile t that stood between the sidewalk and the street. Then, of a sudden. Ralph , remembered that his mother would wonder where he could have been gone ] so long and, calling to Marion, he raai , out from the cave they had dug to hurry home. Marion followed at his playmate’s heels, but just as they emerged into the street from the sand pile a great automobile bore down upon them and before Ralph could turn around to run back the hood had struck him and his body went down under the wheels and the weight of tons above them. The automobile driven by Hill was being taken back to the garage of its owner, Willis Ragan. Hill put on the emergency brakes, but when the ma chine was stopped the little frame lay dying of a broken neck and a frac tured skull beneath its frame. Hill picked him up, carried him to the ma chine and was starting quickly on the way to a doctor’s when the crowd that had gathered became threatening. Po liceman George Dorsett hurried up, took the child into his own arms and ordered the chauffeur to put on all speed toward the Davis-Fisher sani tarium. in East Linden street. The boy died on the way, and the doctors said that he never was conscious after hs 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, w here he came upon Dr. J. A. Ally and told him that “a little boy had been killed afid 1 must his mother.” Father Finds His Son Dead. Dr. Alley rushed the •child to his au» tomobile, found from the frightened tad 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 laj’ unidentified in the Linden street sanitarium. Neighbors were searching everywhere for him. The father, hunt ing every block in the vicinity of his 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 hy an automobile, but he did not tell him that the child was dead. Mi - . Russey hurried to the sanitarium. There he w that the boy was Ralph and that he w as 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.
