manent organization was made. Mr..
Williams named Senator J. w. Bailey
OF Texas, and Representative Cochran
to escort Champ Clark to the plat
form to assume the craftsmanship Mr..
Williams said in yielding the gavel
that he was not reluctant to part with
1T and his sigh of relief when his labors
were over showed he was in earnest.
The delegates and spectators alike
We're tired out when the permanent
chairman stepped forward to. address
them. Mr.. Clark realized the stu
alton and wisely made few remarks
ana recognized motion to adjourn
until 10 O'clock tomorrow. The mo-
tfens,Was carried with cheers. - scis.s.
FOR CLOSING DAY g"
Before tomorrow night the Democratic
convention will have adopted a platform,
! nominated candidate for president and
vice president and adjourned sine die, if
the programme of the leaders can be
carried out. The Parker men are now
talking of his nomination ON the first bal
| lot, but they do not anticipate that more
than two ballots at the outside will be
/ necessary
The vote today On the Illinois case was
| the test and favorable to Parker. There
We're 946 votes cast of the 1000 votes in
the convention. the 81 of Illinois being
withheld. The negative vote on Mr.. Bry-
ans minority report was SAT, which is 20
votes short of the necessary two thirds
! to nominate. 1t represented with some
| exceptions the Parker strength, although
| it has in it also some of the opposition,
! including the 80 votes of Massachusetts.
AT the same time there Were cast on the
| other side Is votes of South Carolina and
| the 20 votes of Kentucky and the Is votes
1 of Louisiana, making total of g. votes
| from states that have declared for Parker.
laltln tta<r fhn IS No.
and adding the 81 votes of the Parker
| states gives a total of 677 votes. which
may be claSsed as Parker with some eX-
| ceptions from the smaller states which
| did not vote Parker or anti-Parker on
/ the contested cases. 1t would seem likely
| that these few votes would be balanced
! by those who voted in the affirmative to-
| day and are likely to vote for Parker to-
| morrow.
PARKER MAY HAVE ILLINOIS
| But in addition to the 677 votes ac-
| counted for there are "a in Illinois that
| are ready to come to Parker when he
needs them. There is a report tonight
that the Illinois delegation, under instruc-
! lions from Hearst, may feel that they are
no longer obligated to vote for him be-
cause the Hearst men all joined in an eff
fort to unseat them. At all events, it
would seem that Illinois is in a position
some of the votes cast that Were in the
negative column should be cast for other
candidates for president.
The anti-Parker men are building some
] hopes of the action of the subcommittee
on platform in adopting a gold standard
! and asserting that some of the Southern
! states instructed or pledged for Parker
| will desert him if the convention adopts
the gold standard plank. Among the
states named in this connection are South
Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tex
as. This is the only apparent hope the
anti Parker men have tonight.
FOR RUNNING MATE
With the end of the convention in sight
| there is still chaotic condition in re-
| gard to the vice president, and the out
| look now is that d number of candidates
| will be voted for and perhaps several bal
| lots be taken before a choice. Among
| those whose names are connected with the
| second place are David R. Francis and
! Gov Alexander NJ. Dockery. of Missouri,
| John w. Kern, of Indianapolis; James r.
! Williams, of Illinois: Senator John w.
! Daniel, of Virginia; Gov. Charles B. Ay-
cock, of North Carolina, and George Tur-
ner of Washington.
Quite an effort has been made to con-
| centrate on Francis, and also for Kern.
/ The CarolinaS are for Aycock and the
| Virginia delegation tonight secured the
| consent of Senator Daniel for the pre-
| sentation of his name. Conferences on this
| subject were held late in the night and
| will probably convene during the conven-
| ton hours tomorrow.
TAMMANY PREPARES TO LEAVE
Tammany is arranging to start for home
| tomorrow, and that is taken as an indi-
cation of agreement on their part to the
programme arranged by the Parker men,
| Former Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan held court
tonight as usual, many delegation heads
coming to see him, and the ANNA ton at
| his headquarters was in great contrast to
| the quiet at Tammany
The Parker people, with their usual
cautiousness, refused to give out any fig
ures tonight. but August Belmont was
authority for the statement that Parker
