HEARST MEN TRIED
TO RIVAL THE PARKER
DEMONSTRATION.
Continued from First Page

up, led by the Delaware delegation.
Before Mr.. Handy had closed the
disorder become so pronounced he
finished amid brief cheering.
Florida Man for Hearst.
Florida called the clerk.
John S. Beard of that state, who was
standing by the West Virginia reser-
walton, asked for recognition, which
the chair at first denied him, not know
ing who he was, but after explanation,
MT. Beard took his place by the Flor
lda sign and proceeded to second the
nomination of Hearst, saying:
| The Democracy of Florida desire
| the nomination of Hearst, because. the !,
paramount issue to-day is the trust
question. and William r. Hearst Is
the most persistent and aggressive OPP
ponent of the trusts, and all the hard
ships and evils attendant upon their
unrestrained expressions of the people.
| The Democracy of Florida desire the
nomination o: Hearst because we be-
lieve that he is the only man who can
| carry into the Democratic column the
pivotal states of New York, Illinois and
! Indiana, which are essential to Demo-
cratic success, and Democratic success
only can rescue the South from the
degradation of Rooseveltism and negro
| ism. We believe that Hearst can and
will carry New York if this convention
makes him the standard bearer of the
Democratic party.
"Cut 1t OUT They Told Wright.
Moses Wright of Georgia followed in
a clear, ringing seconding speech for
Parker that held the attention of the
| convention closely
When Mr.. Wright mentioned Par
ker's name a shout greeted it. The
crowd thought that was the conclusion
| of the speech, and when he continued
the irreverent in the gallery cried Cut
it out" and Intellectually tried to drown
him out. He gained a round of APP
plause when he finished.
Second for Hearst.
When Illinois was called, Clarence
barrow seconded Hearst, at whose
name the galleries vented their en-
thusiasm. When he said: ''It seems
to be fate that the men who once
scuttled the Democratic ship shall
once more be placed in power" there
were cheers and Kisses.
The Democracy of jefferson; the
Democracy of Bryan was a phrase
from Mr., Darrow's speech which struck
the convention. After the shout which
followed, a voice from the gallery rang
out, Three cheers for Bryan" The
cheers were given with a will.
Mr.. Darrow's speech enlivened the
wearying crowd. He was followed by
w. ]. Kern, of Indiana, who seconded
Judge Parker's nomination.
Miles Was Nominated.
When Kansas was called, J. G. John
son seconded the Hearst nomination
and was followed by David Overmeyer
of Kansas, who placed Gen. Nelson A.
| Miles in nomination
Vigorous applause followed Mr.
! Overmeyer's mention of the name of
| Gen. Miles, but when he continued his
! address, after naming his candidate,
! he was frequently interrupted by the
galleries. and the applause at the con-
clusion of his remarks was short -lived.
Delegate Rosson of Missouri then in
! terposed a motion to limit seconding
! speeches to one minute, but Dockery
| of Missouri and Grady of New York
Directing, the limit was placed at four
minutes.
j. w. Orr of Kansas briefly seconded
| Parker's nomination, as did Thomas
| H. Ball of Texas.
Louisiana seconded the nomination
of Parker by a simple announcement
Maine gave way to Missouri. and
Champ Clack placed in nomination
Senator Francis M. Cockrell of Mis-
souri, for the presidency.
COckreII Nominated by Clark.
1t was after 1 o'clock when Mr..
Clark began to speak. His audience
had sat for more than five hours in
| the sweltering heat of the packed hall
and listened chiefly to prepared speech
es. They were growing tired. But Mr..
Clark was a stimuant. In five min
utes he had won his audience and wear
mess was swept from them. They re-
sponded to his every hit and cheered
him to the echo.
Mr.. Clarks first mention of his cam
didate as odd Cockrell' threw the con-
vention into commissions of laughter.
which speedily turned to cheers. and
| the Missouri senator received a warm
| tribute that lasted for several minutes.
The band played Dixie" and then
above the band and the cheers, rising
high and clear as bugle call, sudden
ly came the shrill and piercing Rebel
YELL" and then the long drawn, "Wah-
hoo-oo' OF the plains, while the galleries
| occupants blossomed forth with flags.
The Missouri delegation went on a
short march around the hall, but the
spectacle was so much less interesting
than the beautiful sight offered by the
many flags that the parade was soon
abandoned. The tribute to Senator
Cockrell which was one of the hand
soonest things of it's kind seen in many
conventions, lasted more than a quar-
ter of an hour. Mr.. Clark retired be-
fore the demonstration ended.
Senator Cockrells name had been
mentioned in the home of mis- friends,
and they gave a fine exhibition of 10y
atty and affection.
Kansas sought to make q counter
demonstration by waving two pictures
of Hearst. but the Missourians were not
to be denied and this time they show
ed things" to the other side.
OIney Nominated.
After twenty minutes, quiet was re-
stored and Patrick A. Collins of Bos-
ton nominated Richard Olney of the
Old Bay State, mention of whom call
ed forth cheers, led by Massachusetts.
That delegation added to the pictur-
