The Hon. w. j. Bryan Is not for
Parker. He don't like the man and
does not hesitate to express his dis
like. He regards the Parker move
ment as an abject surrender to the
money power and does not consider
his nomination at all as probable.
He has no choice, he says, for can
didate. but be does want man who
has opinions and who is able to
state them a Democrat who is not too
cowardly to say what he believes,
and why be believes it. A Democrat
who can be as easily suppressed as
Parker, he says, is not strong enough
with the people to be the nominee.
The Democratic party has never
been party of cowardice 1t has
never failed to declare itself and 1t
never will The people, he says,
will not accept as nominee a man
who sKulks and hides his views.

Bryan Presents Minority Substitute

of CAT to 299.

ST. LOUIS, July with the prom
ise of contest of gadiators over the
adoption of the report of the committee
on credentials, the convention hall filled
early for the afternoon session. Long
before the delegates began to arrive
the galleries filed. The band gave a
concert, which was appreciated and APP
plauded, and every number was en-
cored.
William j. Bryan was given an ova-
tion when he entered the hall just prior
to the opening of the afternoon session
of the convention. He was halfway
down the aisle when he was first recog-
nized. There came a terrific yell from
a group of delegates in the rear of the
hall, and instantly it was caught UP by
the crowd, and the cheers rolled up in
a roar. Mr.. Bryan passed down the
aisle, picking his way through the del
egates, who were massed in the aisles.
He paid no attention at first to the
demonstration. but quietly sought his
seat The galleries Joined in the cheer

their signs hastened with them to the

PARKER MEN TO RESCUE.

it high and started toward the plat

South Carolina caught the sign of his
State from it's staff, tore UP the steps
and after brandishing the red and white
disk wildly shook it at the Bryan and
Hearst men and then placed it fat
against the blue banner, as though he
was mailing the flag of his country to
a masthead. The Parker men came rp
swiftly now, and before the South
Carolina man had lowered his hand the

and pushing their way through the
aisles toward him. After Pennsylvania

Decision and Refuses Represen-

ST. LOUIS, July THE Democratic
National Convention reconvened to-
day, entering upon the second day S
session. The stirring scenes of yester-
day had the effect of heightening in
terest in the assemblage of the Demo-
cratic hosts. Again those having tick
cts of admission at their disposal have
been overwhelmed by those who desire
to be spectators. The disappointed ones
of yesterday redoubled their efforts,
hoping to be more successful in gaining
admission to-day.
As the opening hour was advanced
two hours the crowds in the vicinity
Of the main entrance We're in evidence
much earlier to-day. The scenes of
yesterday were repeated. The throngs
outside the building were largely aug
mented by the collection Of those who
watched the delegates as they entered
the hall.
There was another group about the
entrance through which the delegates
pass, and that was composed of men
with cameras taking snapshots at the
more conspicuous ones who figure in
the convention doings.
Chairman Williams was given a
round of applause when he appeared.
He had made allowance for the
but offset this trifie by pinning two
extra sized badges on the outside of
his coat. He carried a large cigar be-
twen his teeth, which he rolled and
chewed nervously.
The strain of his long speech of yes
terday was evident in his voice, which
was weak and hoarse. AS soon as he
had produced quiet by the use of his
gavel he Introduced Archbishop John ].
Glennon of st. Louis, who delivered
the invocation as follows:
Our Father who art in heaven. haliowed be
thy name. thy kingdom come. thy will be done
on earth as il is in heaven. Give us this day
daily bread and forgive US our trespa sses
we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead US not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil. Amen.
Come. Holy Spirit, enlighten the hearts NJ
the people and Dour forth the fire of thv
divine love Send forth thy spirit Lord.
and they shall be created. and thou shalt
renew the face OF the earth.
In the name OF the Father and the Son and
OF the Holy Ghost. Amen
The prayer was brief. and as the
prelate resumed his seat a murmur of
The San Francisco call., 1904-07-08

approval ran through the convention.
which in a few seconds deepened into
round of applause.
BUSINESS BEGINS.
Immediately after the invocation
Chairman Williams called for the re-
port on rules and order of business.
The gentleman from New York is
recognized" he said.
AS he concluded Delegate Thomas
Grady reported for the committee, as
heretofore published. The report was
adopted without opposition or discus
sion.
Mr.. Grady next read the report con-
corning Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands, accrediting the delegates from
Porto Rico. Demands to have the re-
port read were shouted from the Min
nesota and Wisconsin delegations.
Chairman Williams sharply renrimand-
ed the persistence of this demand, say
ing the report would be read if the del
egates would allow it by keeping quiet.
The chairman said: This is a most
important matter. We are about to de-
termine whether the Philippine dele
gates shall be entitled to votes in our
National Convention, or whether at the
same time. we declare the Philippines
should not be a part of the United
States therefore urge you to pe
4oiCNs IAiob bA4C AltOIlO4i IIdy nave Iull
consideration.
Senator Jerry South of Arkansas
moved to amend the report as soon as
it was read, so as to make IL include
the Philippines.
l.. Irving Handy made the point of
order that the Philippines were no part
of the United States, and, therefore, the
amendment was not germane.
Mr.. South defended the rights of the
Philippine delegates, but finally with
drew his amendment, arguing for the
adoption of the report
Mr.. Grady said the national COM
mittee had decided to include Porto
Rico in the call of the convention.
The convention had to consider the
question as to whether these delegat tes
had the right to vote. The Supreme
Court of the United States decided
that Porto Rico was part of the
territory of the United States. The
same court had decided that the Phil
ippines was not a part of the United
States. The committee has followed
The San Francisco call., 1904-07-08

this court and had given Porto Rico
votes and had withheld votes from the
Philippines.
The question" said the chairman,
is upon the adoption of the"
SENATOR SOUTH INTERRUPTS.
Senator South interrupted at this
point with an expressed desire to
speak to the question and accordingly
took the platform. He declared that
it had never been part of Democrat
ic doctrine to consider the insular pos
sessions as part of the United States
and he was opposed to such action.
He deprecated the idea of holding the
question in allegiance until the report
of the credentials committee was re-
ceived, and asked the convention 20
vote down that part of the commit
tees report.
There were loud calls of Question, =
but the chairman again recognized L.
Irving Handy of Delaware, who smoke
in favor of the report and urged its
adoption. His expressed hope that
the day would come when the Philip
pines could select their own Presidents
and hold their own national conven-
ton called forth three cheers There
were renewed cries Of question

said the chairman, the chair can put

in strong majority. Senator South
asked for a roll call, but this WIS
heavily voted down by viva voce

THE roll call is declined" said the
chairman. with a thump of the gavel.
The chair recognizes the gentleman
from Porto Rico to express his thanks
to the convention" called the chair
man, as A. w. Molina of that delega-
tion rose in his seat.
There were numerous Interruptions
and calls for recognition, but the
chairman silenced them. and Mr.. Mo-
lima took the platform. Mr. Molina
spoke briefly and received a ripple of
applause as he concluded.
