Mr. Bryan's reference was to a del' 1 gate who had h<*n voting persistently 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.

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.

Gov. ernor Burke’s name was withdrawn and Marshal! proclaimed the nominee by acclamation \ minute later the convention had adjourned sine die.

Mr. Bryan had announced his inten tion of introducing a resolution in ef fect dis-' barging the national commit- I toe from the conduct of the coming campaign and allowing Governor Wil son to appoint his own campaign com -1 mitten. He was dissuaded from this 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 ing that either Governor Burke or Sen ator George Chamberlin of Oregon be nominated vice president. The Nebras. I kfin was understood particularly to fa vor Governor Burke as a type of the modern progressive. The platform, hewed out in commit tee several days ago, and warmly praised by .Mr. Bryan, was adopted i with a whoop. .Many of the delegates went directly from the convention hall to special ' trains.

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.

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.

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.

His tight was strenuous and at times bitter, but the circumstances under which the nomination was finally made augur well for party harmony. All candid observers will admit this and congratulate the convention on a "hap py ending.’ ” 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.

"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.

Miss Leila Barrett. 763 Ashby street, nearly shot John Childress, a lineman, for a burglar while he was working on a pole in front of her home at 2 o'clock this morning, The railway and electric company shut off its power on the Ashby street line early this morning and sent Chil dress there to fix a wire at the pole Just in front of the Barrett home. Childress shinned up the pole and began tapping on the crossarm with his hammer. Miss Barrett, who had been 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 lice station in nothing flat and told Captain-Poole assassins w ere after him iff Ashby street. While he stayed close 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.

J. P. ALLEN & CO., 51-53 "Ks" 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. "CHAMP CLARK." SMOKE SLEUTH MAPS WJIGN 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.”
