and many other notables of the Demo

ming mate of Mr.. Bryan was made by
Theodore A. Bell Of California, who
was temporary chairman of the Dem
yer convention and who spoke for the
notification committee. Mr.. Bell was
given the closest attention of his great
audience, his clear cut, actorlike face
and vivid style of oratory creating q
distinct impression upon his hearers.
When Mr.. Kern arose to acknowl-
edge the high honor accorded him by

slightly less demonstrative than that
which later was given Mr.. Bryan
when the latter arose to conclude the
days programme with his long await
ed address on Trusts"

grounds. The great edifice has a seat
ing capacity Of 1900. Every seat
and point of vantage, save those re-
served for the central figures Of the

one roof in Indiana.

teeman from Indiana and former
chairman of the national committee,
called the meeting to order and intro
duced Norman 70. Mack of Buffalo,
national chairman, as presiding officer

crossed sheet containing formal notice

Applause For Kern.
Prolonged applause greeted Mr..
Kern as he accepted the nomination.

dress was devoted to the tariff, as fol-

of vital interest l am in hearty ac-
cord with our platform declarations on
That subject.
The Republican candidate for vice
president in his recent speech Of ac-
ceptanee lauded the Dingley bill and
declared that when enacted 1t was well
adapted to existing conditions, but pro-
ceeded to add that the developments
Of industrial prosperity in a decade
which in volume and degree have sur

to ALL" For these reasons he declared
in favor of readjustment biased on
the broad principles Of protection for
all American interests alike for labor
and capital, for producers and con-
sumers" The hundreds Of thousands
of American worlzingmen who are now
