Senator Butler was introduced as
temporary chairman by Chairman
Taubeneck, who said that Mr. Butler
had been elected temporary chairman
without a dissenting vote and he added
his belief that when the convention
should adjourn it would be found that
it had acted wisely with as great
unanimity as had the committee in

The states were then called for mem

and at the conclusion the convention
at 2:lO o'clock took a recess until eight
o'clock at night
When the convention met at eight

Bryan Nominated for President.
ST. LOUIS, July 27.-There was mex
tricable confusion on the floor of the
Auditorium Saturday before the peo-
pies party convention met. The dele
gates stood about in animated groups,
discussing the situation, and what it
was best to do. The Bryan feeling was
very strong. and the telegram from the
Nebraskan declaring that he would not
accept the nomination rendered the
situation chaotic. Many desired to
nominate Bryan in the face of this tel
egram. Tom Morrison, of Colorado,
and ex-Gov. Lewelling, of Kansas,
however. said this would not do. They
counseled an Endorsement of Bryon,
instead of a nomination, pointing out
that an Endorsement. which did not re-
quire an acceptance, was the way out
of the tangle.
Senator Allen called the convention
to order at $50 and a committee to no
tify the candidates for president and
vice president was selected. The chair
man then called for the nominations
for president Gen. Weaver went for
ward to the platform and in lengthy
speech placed William J. Bryan in
nomination. There were many
speeches made in seconding Bryan's
nomination. Several other nomina-
tions were made, namely: COD L. NJ.
Norton, of Illinois, was named by Mr..

CATION, named Ignatius DOnnelly, of
Minnesota. and, when Donnellv de-
clined the use of his name, he placed
Gen. j. S. Coxey, of Ohio, in nomina-
tion. The nominating speeches oc-
capied six hours.
When the nominations were closed
George Abbott. of Nebraska. moved
that the national committee be given
plenary powers in all things connected
with the party after the adjournment
of the convention and the motion was
carried.
The roll call was then made and
Chairman Allen announced the official
vote as follows: Bryan, LOAF; Norton.
331; Donnelly, 16; Debs, 8; Coxey, 1.
1t was 4:22 when the announcement
of the vote was made and pandemonium
reigned for about 20 minutes. Finally
Chairman Allen declared Mr.. Bryan
the nominee of the convention, some
one made a motion to adjourn, the
chairman pnt the motion and then de-
clared the convention adjourned sine
