north and the west to support the
south in the position the democratic
party of that section has assumed be
tween whites and blacks. The con
vention then took a recess until
o'clock.
The crush of visitors around the
doors and inside the convention hall
at o'clock, the time set for the
opening of the convention, was great
er than at any previous session. 1t
was something rarely paralleled at
any national convention.
A series of energetic thumps on the
presiding officers table were given
by Chairman Clark at 1903 o'clock in
an eEdeavor to call the convention to
order. The reading clerk ordered the
floor officers to clear the aisles. AS
Mr.. Clark stood at the desk Senator
Daniel, of Virginia. chairman of the
resolutions committee, made his way
to his side with a copy of the plat
form in his hand.
Without delay it was announced
that the report of the committee
would be received.
Becoming impatient at the delay
Senator Daniel began reading in the
midst of the uproar.
Senator Daniels exhaustion from
his long session with the resolutions
committee was apparent. To the vast
audience which faced him he was but
a silent figure with moving lips. When
he had finished reading he said:
81 am unanimously instructed by
your committee on platform to move
the previous question on it's adoption
and | now make that notion
1t was adopted by viva voce vote.
| Chairman Clark then put the motion
to adopt the report and another viva
voce vote carried it.
''The clerk will now call the roll of
states for the nomination of a candi-
date for president" shouted the chair
man.
Alabama" shrieked the clerk.
Alabama yields to the Empire
State of New York called Delegate
Russell. of Alabama.
Martin w. Littleton, of New York,
took the stand amid applause to place
Judge Parker in nomination. Mr..
Littleton's voice is resonant and could
be heard further than that of any
! speaker who had preceded him with
the possible exception of Richmond p.
| HObSon..
All that happened in the conven-
tion up to the time Mr.. Littleton con-
cluded his address, multiplied many
| times, was almost as nothing com
pared to the hurricane that broke out
when he mentioned the name ALTON
B. Parker" On the part of the Parker
delegates it was revelation in the
passion of politics. Like one man
they sprang up in their chairs with

The roll call of states was CON
! tinued. When Arkansas was reached
! that state yielded to Tennessee. Sen
ator Carmack appeared to second the
nomination of Parker.
Senator Carmack concluded his
speech at 1915. The galleries seized
| the opportunity for shout and dis
/ turbance reigned for some minutes.
