it was absolutely impossible for this

Bryan Takes the Floor,

In opening his speech Mr.. Bryan an
l nounced that he had not come to the
| cQivention with the idea of bringing
up any questions that could or would
lcre6ke division. He was greeted by
| cneers and when he declared that he
| hoped and believed that the convention
would select Il ticket which could be
\ supported by united Democracy, the
! cheers We're redoubled
An outburst of approving yells
| greeted his announcement that the con-
| Vention in Illinois was conducted by
| men who were OH a level with train
| robbers.
lie declared that two years ago John
p. Hopkins had pursued a course con
| trary to that followed in the Illinois
convention and did not dare to follow
| President Roosevelt this time, because
| he would have been repudiated if he
| had done so.
| The initial sentences of Mr.. Rryan's
| speech which carried his hearers into
| cheers We're these:
| Il still hope that we shall be able To
agree upon 4 platform that will repre-
| sent the sentiments of all of us and 50
we can present to the country the plat
form of united party"
When the cheers which greeted this
sentiment had subsidized, the speaker
uttered these words:
Il will go further than that. I still
hope that we shall be able to present TO
the country n ticket behind which can
stand n united party"
AGAIN the convention enthusiastically
endorsed the sentiment expressed.
Mr.. Bryan said:
Mr.. Bryan spoke as follows.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of this
COnN ention-I came to this convention
I'm the hope that we would be able 10
agree on a platform, on a candidate
and have nothing to stir the feelings or
arouse contention. / still hone that we
snail be able to agree upon q platform
mat will represent the sentiments Of
all OF us so that we can present it I o the
pubic as the platform of a united party.
VIII go farther than that l still hone
that we small be able to Isresent to the
country ticket behind which can
stand united party. And. I regret that
l am compelled to come in at this time
and present subject upon which your
votes will be asked. But if there is one
Democratic principle more Fundamental
than another it is the right of q ma ior-
ity to rule. If you destroy the binding
force Of that principle there is nothing
that can hold party together.
I'm the state of Illinois the majority
was not allowed to rule. That conyen-
ton was dominated by clique of men
who deliberately. purposely, boldly,
trampled upon the rights of the people
OF Illinois. The evidence shows that
a band of train robbers never planned
robbery upon train more deliberate
~ or with less conscience than they did.
And these men who planned it and who

With the promise of n contest Of
giant orators over the adoption of the
report of the committee on credentials
the convention hall filled early for the
afternoon session. Long before the dele
gates began to arrive the galleries fill
ed.
The band gave concert which was
appreciatively applauded and every
number was encored. Women again
predomnated among| the spectators.
The convention officials have mana ged
to organize for more effective work
and maintaining excellent order.
Crowding of the platform and visiting
between state delegations has been
prohibited.
Delegates came in slowly and took
their places without causing demon

held the undivided attention of the

than at either of the previous sessions.

William ]. Bryan was given an OVa-
ton when he entered the hall just
prior to the opening of the afternoon
session Of the convention. He was hair
way down the aisle when he was first
recognized. There came terrific yell
from group of delegates in the rear
of the hall and instantly it was caught
up by the crowd and the cheers rolled
up in n rear Mr.. Bryan passed slowly
down the aisle picking his way through

the friends of Mr.. Bryan believing this

and began to wave his arms up and
down, shouting unintelligibly. In mo-

that Porto Rico was a part of the ter

court had decided that the Philippines
was not n part of the United States.
The committee had followed this course

Senator South interrupted at this
point with an expressed desire to speak
on the question and accordingly took
the platform. He declared that it had
never been a part of Democratic doc
trine to consider the inSular possessions
as part of the United States and he was
opposed to such action. He asked the
convention to vote down that part OF
the committees report.
There were loud calls Of question
but the chairman again recognized L.
Irving Handy of Delaware, who spoke
in favor of the report and urged its
adoption. His expressed hope that the
day would come when the Philippines
could select their own President and
hold their own national convention,
called forth cheers.
There were renewed cries of "ques-
| ton"
"If the gentleman will remain quiet"
said the chairman, the Chair can put
it quicker"
On viva VOce vote the ayes were In
strong majority. Senator South asked
for a roll call, but this was also heav-
lily voted down by a viva vOce vote.

Mr.. Melina took the platform. Mr.. Me-

| of applause as he concluded.
The chairman endeavored to state

nouncement, but he was interrupted by

The secretary then announced that

was not ready to make report and

chairman of the New York and Illinois
delegations to repeat any announce

Just at this instant Mr.. Bryan arose
in his place and began making his way
to the platform, LAS soon. as this was
observed up went the contention again
on it's feet anarthe cheefs arose with
fresh vigOr.
When Mr.. Bryan mounted the plat
form, Young Deford, One>of the secre-
taries, got on table next to the pre-
siding officer. and, throwning both arms
into the air, shouted and waved his
arms frantically and another outburSt
of applause occurred, but it was of
short duration. Mr.. Bryan's object in
going to the platform was to present a
minority report to that of the creden-
tials committee. He is Il member of
the committee by proxy, bearing that
of Delegate Cashar of Nebraska. When
Mr. Bryan was fully on the platform
the spectators in the galleries to the
rear gave him a cheer. He turned
around and made many bows.
Chairman Head of the committee, had
not yet put in an appearance with the
majority report of the committee and
Delegate Kerr of Pennsylvania, was
dispatched for him. The band played
and during the musical program Mr..
Head entered the hall. AS soon as the
band was through, Mr. Head read the
report which was in line with the de-
cisiOns already published.
The report declared in favor of seat
