Mr. Bryan's reference was to a del' 1

for champ Clark, but who on the last
ballot plated the name of William J
Bryan in nomination for vice president.
The commoner continued:
Bryan Says He
Bears no Hatred
”For sixteen years I have been a
fighting man. Performing whal I re
garded as.a public duty I have not hesi
tated to speak out on every public
question that was before the people of
this nation for settlement, and I have
not hesitated to raise hostility and the
enmity of individuals when I though’
It my duty to do so in behalf of my
country.
”1 ‘nave n?vei advocated a man ex
cept with gladness and I have nev»
opposed a man except in sadness. If I
have any enemies in this countrx,
those who ait* m\ enemies have a mo
nopoly of hatred. There Is not a sin

Choice of Marshall
Came as Surprise.
The nomination of Governor Marshall
of Indiana for vice' president came
something to a surprise. for before the
night's balloting for vice president be
gan It seemed that the Bryan-Wilson
contingent in the convention had defi
nitely settled upon Governor John E.
Burke of North Dakota
There was not much of a tight. how
ever. and when the two ballots dis
closed Marshall easily in the lead. Gov.
ernor Burke’s name was withdrawn
and Marshal! proclaimed the nominee
by acclamation \ minute later the
convention had adjourned sine die. The
delegates, worn and weary, made their
way out of the big convention hall,
singing and happy to be started for
home.
The convention became a love feast

Mr. Bryan had announced his inten

campaign and allowing Governor Wil

i ourse. and. instead of making a move
that might have stirred up strife, he
made a little speech, which he termed
his ‘'valedictory," and in happy mood
turned over the mantle of his former
leadership as a presidential candidate
to Governor Wilsoo.
He pledged his faithful support to the
presidential nominee and ended by urg

nominated vice president. The Nebras.

from the convention hall to special
' trains.

Watterson in The Courier-Journal, to
day compares Woodrow Wilson to the
' devil and William Jennings Bryan to
a rattlesnake, hut says he will support
' the ticket. In his editorial on the re-
sult Im says:
"It would be Idle for The Courler
.loiirnal to deny that II is disappointed
by the result obtained at Baltimore
and hypocrisy to effect anything other
than regret and distrust.
"In a contest between three tickets,
headed by Taft, Roosevelt and the
Devil, The Courier-Journal, being a
daily newspaper anci unable to take to
the woods, would perforce be obliged
i to support his salnnic majesty. How -
' even-, let all Democrats pray for the
best and hope that things may not be

would have shaped them otherwise.
The Courier-Journal approves at least
the platform and will support tlie
ticket."
Writing of Bryan, under the head.
"Treachery t'nspeakabie." he says:
"The mask which in his unguarded
fury Mr. Bryan has allowed to slip

observers into the belief that though
selfish and commonplace, he was still a

What Big Papers
Think of Wilson
NEW YORK. July 3.—The consensus
of opinion In New York newspapers
today favored the nomination of Wood
tow Wilson for the presidency. The
following are excerpts from editorial
comment on the outcome of the Balti
more. convention:
Times —"In the nomination of Wood
iow Wilson the Democratic party re
gains its ancient estate of worth, of
dignity, of power. It escapes the thral
dom of little men and ignoble leaders.
It lakes as its chief a man of that
statesmanlike duality which befits the
presidential office. Governor Wilson
will unite the party."
World —"The American people have
sei out to regain possession of the it
government, and Woodrow Wilson was
made for president because he em
bodies that issue. The bosses and the
plutocrats who tried to prevent his
nomination wore beaten by the powe:
of the people and the power that nomi
nated him is the power that will elect
him "
Sun —"Governor Wilson enters the
campaign owing not one coppers worth
of political debt to .Mr. Bryan, who.
with a preconceived program of domi
nation or destruction, played his own
vlpeiish game with consummate skill
until It was detected. Not a drop of
toxin remains In the hidden fangs of
the gum. Mr. Bryan has been beaten,
exposed, humiliated and discarded. He
is not even a wax figure Warwick this
morning. What must occasion him the
most poignant anguish is the certainty
that Democrats all over) the land w ill
no longer pay’ dollars for the Com
moner or the Chautauqua for instruc
tion in the fundamentals of party prin
ciples."
Herald —"The New Jersey governor
has won. and won handsomely. M hen
it Is analy zed it is a personal triumph.
He was nominated in spite of Mr. Bry
an's tactics and as the direct result
of the Illinois delegation, which started
the stampede resulting in a practi
cally unanimous choice on the forty
sixth ballot."
Tribune —"Governor Wilson's nomi
nation at Baltimore yesterday was on
the surface at least a decisive victory
of tlie radical element In the Demo
cratic party. It was even a greater
triumph for Mr. Bryan than it was for
.Mr. Wilson. The latter's selection as
the presidential candidate of the Dem
ocratic party was due more to the for
mer's personal activities than to ativ
other single influence. But for what M"
Bryan did in the convention it is ex
tremely doubtful if .Mr Wilson wouid
ever have obtained a two-thirds ma
jo" ity "
The American —"Woodrow Wilson,
governor of New Jersey, is the nomi
ne'' of the national Democratic con
vention for president of the United
States. The New York American will
support tlie Democratic nominee. Th-
New York American as a prog". c<si\■
Democratic newspaper would have
supported any progressive Democrat
nominated at Baltimore."
What They Say of
It in Chicago.
CHICAGO. July Chicago papgrs
comment editorially in part as follows:
The Inter-Ocean-- "The representa
tives of the Democratic party in na
tional convention assembled have again
bowed to the dictatorship of William
Jennings Bryan. It is generally ac
cepted that if he should by any chance
> be elected Mr Wilson would be .Mr,
' Bryan s alias in the white house and
would take the same charitable views
of personally friendly "malefactors of
" great wealth" that M , Roosevelt took
of railway retailers in the person of
Paul Morton, of the sugai trust, th"
steel Cust and the Harvester ttust."

it was crude, unfair and half , baked.
He has protected legitimate interests.

bitter, but the circumstances under

augur well for party harmony. All
candid observers will admit this and
congratulate the convention on a "hap

Wilson Means
Victory, Says Bryan
BALTIMORE, July 3.—William Jen
nings Bryan, in a statement on the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson, said:
"I feel sure (hat the action of the
convention thus far will appeal to the
country. I had no choice among pro
gressive candidates, but from the first
included Governor- Wilson in every list
I had occasion to make. His action
in coming out strongly against Ml"
Parker for temporary chairman was
the turning point in his campaign. The
country is progressive. Nearly all of
the Democratic party and more than
half of the Republican party are pro
gressive.
"The paramount question before this
convention was whether 4 fve would 4 take
sides with lhe 'reactionaries’ hntfTh'us 1
encourage the organization df a’ third
party and giving' to'^tfib ' third party;
the hope of defeating the reactionaries
divided into two parties, "’this on one
side, and on the olh'-r
of a ticket that would So appeal’th the
progressive element rif’thc rfatfori as ’to
make a third party improbable.
"I am satisfied that with Mr. Wilson
running for president on the platform
which has been prepared there will be
comparatively few progt'essit e Republi
cans w ho w ill not feel justified' in sup
porting the Democratic ticket. If 1
were to make an estimate 1 Would say
that we ought to have not less than
two million majority vote and enough
of the electoral vote to give us an
overwhelming majority In the electoral
congress.
"Wall Street Resolution Helped.”
"The action of the convention in
adopting the anli-Morgan-Ryan - Bel
mont resolution has demonstrated that
the Democratic party is not only pro
gressive, but bold enough to throw
down the gauntlet to the predatory in
terests. It is fortunate that Mr. "Wil
son's nomination was made without the
aid of Mr. Murphy, it is no reflection
on the many good men in the New-
York delegation to say this.
"Krom every- standpoint, the outlook
is hopeful. The only unpleasant thing
about a political fight is that success
to one aspirant brings disappointment
Io others. Those who fall ought t<
find some consolation in the fact that
failure is not always a reflection upon
the individual, because circumstances
exert a larger influence than is some
times supposed in the determining of
a convention choice. Men are available
only when they fit into conditions. 1
decided some two years ago that I did
not fit into tlie conditions as we then
saw them, and I was not willing to
assume the responsibility of advocat
ing an' partieulat ti-ogressfve part'
because I preferred to try tli° wisdom
of the multitude, and partly because 1
felt that a great deal would depend
upon the action of the Republican con
vention.
"Fits the Conditions."
"When tbe Republican convention ad
Journed it was even more apparen 1
thin ever that circumstances required
some emphatic action on the part of
out convention to insure a consolida
tion of the progressive vote under our
banner.
"The incidents of the convention
have n a strange "ay emphasized the
progressiveness of our party far m ire
than I mid expei ted that progrissive

Just in front of the Barrett home.
Childress shinned up the pole and
began tapping on the crossarm with his

sleeping in the bed room of her home
nearest the pole, was awakened and
concluded that a burglar was trying to
get into her house.
Girl Shoots in the Air.
She took a pistol from the bureau,
and. leaning out of the window, fired
a shot into the air. with the intention
of frightening the burglar way. The
bullet zipped past Childress' head close
to his temple and he shinned down the
pole like a squirrel. He made the po

to the starioh. Officers Cooper and Mc-
Kibben went to investigate.
Childress had thrown considerable
alarm into the two policemen and they
reached the Ashby street neighborhood
with their fingers on the triggers. But
they hunted an hour tn the darkness
without finding anybody who appeared
to be on murder bent.

Clark Puts Blame
For Defeat on Bryan
WASHINGTON. July 3.—Champ
Clark lays the blame for his defeat at
the Baltimore convention directly upon
W. J. Bryan in a signed statement
given out here. Before giving out the
statement, he refused an offer for the
vice presidential nomination at Balti
more.
"I am not mad," he said, "but the vice
presidency does not fit me. I am a
rough-and-tumble debater. I am more
at home in the house. I would rather
be a member of that body than tied
down In a chamber in which I am pow
erless to participate."
Speaker Clark issued the following
statement:
“No set of men ever made a better or
braver fight for any man In this world
than my friends all over the country
made for me. They have my heartfelt
thanks. We never had money enough
even to pay for an adequate supply of
postage stamps and literature. I was
tied down here by duties of the speak
ership. I could, therefore, aid rny
friends very little. They made the
fight, gave me 200,000 majority in the
states where Govern.it Wilson and T
competed in the primaries, and caused
me to lead on 30 ballots in the conven
tion. in nine of which I had a clear ma
jority. Nevertheless, the nomination
was bestowed upon Governor Wilson.
“I never scratched a Democratic tick
et or bolted a Democratic nominee in
my life. I shall not change the Demo
cratic habit now. I am too seasoned a
soldier not to accept cheerfully the for
tunes of war.
“T will support Governor Wilson with
whatever power I possess and hope he
will be elected.
"1 lost the nomination solely through
the vile and the malicious slanders of
Colonel William Jennings Bryan, of
Nebraska. True, these slanders were
by innuendo and insinuation, but they
w ere no less deadly for that reason.

McMichael Says He Will Seek
Co-operation of Offenders in
Abating Nuisance.
City Smoke Inspector Paul McMich
ael today outlined the duties of his
new office to The Georgian. He de
clared that conditions would be im
proved as rapidly as pos-ible. but that
a campaign of education must be un
dertaken first. He said:
“My duties will be largely educa
tional. The manufacturers, railroad"
and other large, consumers of soft coal
in Atlanta are not emitting smoke ma
liciously. They are more than willing
to abate the nuisance if shown huw.
particularly if, as some have already
learned, it can be done with no in
crease in operating expense. In orde"
to get results quickly we must have
the co-operation of the large coal con
sumers. We can not compel the Hgi '
enforcement of the new smoke ordi
nance in all its terms immediately.
Such policy would work great hard
ships upon manufacturers already lo
cated here and would have the effect,
for a time at least, of keeping awar
from Atlanta other plants which ou"
various commercial organizations ao
trying to bring here.
"The smoke nuisance can be abated
by properly directed efforts, in which
we. expecte the atsistance of the man
ufacturers, but it can not be entirely
abolished until all antiquated steam
plans have been worn out and replac'd
by more modern equipment. Eacii
stack presents its own individual p"oh r
lem to be solved and this will take
time. It is unreasonable t expect that
an evil which has been accumulatin;
for 30 years shall be done away with
in a day. We hope for the indulgence
and patience of Atlanta welite we ate
working out the solution of this prob
lem and promise that conditions wi'l
he improved as rapidly as our best ef
forts can get results.”
