rowNE PREVENTED NOMINATION.
Appealed to Silver Convention Not to Name
Him The Silver Platform.
lBy the ASSOCIATED Press. J


Kansas City, Mo-, July 6.-After long
and exciting debate, during which it
looked several times as if Charles =
Towne would be nominated for Vice Presi-
dent in spite of his protest against such
a movement, the National Convention of
the Silver Republican party adjourned
sine die without making a nomination
for Vice President, the whole matter be-
ing referred to the National Committee
with power to act Mr.. w. ]. Bryan was
made the unanimous choice of the con-
vention for President during the morning
session, the platform was adopted and
it was the intention to complete the tick
ct in the afternoon by the nomination OF
former Congressman Towne. The action
of the Democratic convention, however.
in placing Mr.. Stevenson in nomination
took delegates off their feet, but most OF
t-em asserted their determination to
nominate Mr.. Towne Notwithstanding.
For two hours Senator Teller, former
Congressman Shafroth, of Colorado,
Cheadle, of Indiana, and others made
speeches in favor of endorsing the Demo-
cratic ticket. But II was not until Towpe
himself appeared and appealed to the
convention not to nominate, but to concen-
trate their forces that the delegates
Gained down and the Vice Presidential
nomination was referred to the National
Committee.

as he called out: "New York changes
her entire vote from Hill to Stevenson" "
This simply pulled out the plug and
broke in by end and all the State delega-
tions at one time and the roar that went
up was deafening Then in rapid sue
cession, the following States changed
their votes to Stevenson in the order
givena
California, North Dakota. Nebraska,
Hawaii. Florida, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Connecticut.
After that they all made a rush for
the coming candidate. The cheering while
the first changes were being made was
enthusiastic in the extreme. A procession
was formed to march around the hall,
but the long session that had preceded
the nomination of Stevenson and the ex-
citing scenes of yesterday had worn the
delegates out, and the parade was short
in length and still shorter as to its
line of march and the delegates confined
themselves for the chief part TO cheering.
The vote of the three leading candi-
dates before any changes were MADE
was as follows:
Stevenson, 5591a Hill. 200; Towne S91s.
While changes of the various States
were being made pandemonium reigned
in the hall. Delegates and alternates
stood on their chairs, and throughout all
of the galleries people were standing and
cheering. Practically the entire delega-
ton from New York headed by Mr..
Croker. left the hall. Women and chill
dren and other spectators who had been
standing in the aisles during the pro-
ceedings and a lot of superfluous spe-
cial officers and pages, swarmed over the
delegates section. When order had been
partially restored the floor section OF
the hall bore more the appearance of a
miscellaneous gathering than pol1tlcal
convention.
Sergeant-a at Arms John l. Martin, his
assistants and the police had the ut
most difficulty in clearing the aisles, but
the people were finally forced to their
seats or out of the building.
SPEECH OF A NEGRO BRYAN MAN.
Az soon as quiet was restored, J. Milton
Turner prominent negro OF MISSOURI
tho Chairman of the Convention of Afro
Americans, which only recently nominated
Mr. Bryan for President, was invited to
the platform and briefly addressed the
convention.
]. G. Gray, of Texas, chairman OF the
Committee on Credentials announced that
the contesting delegates from the Dis
trict of Columbia, Indian Territory ana
the Territory of Oklahoma, each had been
given half a vote for the district repre-
scented. However as these delegations
had been unable to effect proper organiza-
ton on account of internal differences
Judge Gray moved that the matter OF the
election Of a National Committeeman
for these districts be referred back to the
Democracy of the district. The motion
prevailed but subsequently on motion or
Chairman Jones Of the National Com
mttee was reconsidered and laid on the
table.
THE CONVENTION ADJOURNS.
The usual formal resolution of thanks
to Kansas City and to the officers OF
the convention were adopted amid the
greatest confusion, and then at 1921, on
motion OF Chirman Jones, the National
Democratic Convention of 1900 ad-
journed.

cation, hurried to Governor Hill and be-
gan an earnest conversation with Hill,
urging him not to decline the nomination,
which evidently seemed to be within his
grasp. Hill only shook his head.
1t was a pretty, even a dramatic side
play. All the convention was pulsating
with enthusiasm.
When finally Mr.. Grady was permitted
to proceed, he said that Governor Hill
might decline, but if he did or not he
shouted, New York's united and solid ~
votes would be cast to the end for David
Bennett Hill.

applause.) He is a man who on all
occasions, in season and out of season has
supported the Democratic platform and
the candidates nominated thereon. IN
business he is a manufacturer, but he
is unalterably opposed to trusts, and as
a business man, in season and out of sea-

factions both public and private have
made his name wherever known the
synonym for Christian charity and phil
anthropy. Wep resent to the convention

rung. The Hill people cheered wildly
when Tennessee went solid for the New
York man and the Stevenson people
answered their cheer when Texas came
to their man. Tennessee was up soon
as the vote from Hawaii had been an
nounced, and declared that it changed its
vote for Stevenson. The convention
recognized the significance of the action,
and cheer after cheer went up. Steven
son was nominated now without question
and all over the hall chairmen Of dele
cations were on their feet shouting and
waving their arms in the effort to Sc
cure recognition from the chair to change
their votes.

impossible to catch the changes as the

''If the Ottoman government. support
