a*Bryan and Gray one-half vote
The speech placing William j.
Bryan in nomination was made by
lgnatius J. Dunn of Nebraska,
youthful orator of fire and eloqnence,
whose closing phrase stirred the vast
assemblage into a wild demonstra-
ton.
II nominate" he exclaimed "as the
standard bearer of our party the man
who in the thrilling days of 1896 and
1900 bore the battle-scarred banner of
democracy with fame as untarnished
as the crusader of old-Amerfca's
great commoner, Nebraska's gifted
son, William Jennings Bryan"
Immediately perfect pandemonium
of sound and motion was unloosened,
as delegates and spectators rose en-
masse and joined in the reverberat-
ing chorus of tribute to the Nebraska
candidate. The standards of the
states were wrenched from their
places and borne through the hall to
the platform, while banners bearing
the portrait of the commoner were
waved aloft and the multitude Joined
in the long-continued tribute. At
times the intensity of the demon
stration reached panic.
A few moments after the cheering
began an immense oil painting OF
Mr.. Bryan was lowered from behind
a monster American shield which
had reposed over the chairman's desk
ever since the convention began.
The appearance of the picture raised
the pitch of the outburst.
1t was not long before the scenes
of yesterdays prolonged demonstra.
ton were renewed. The delegates
poured from the convention floor onto
the already over-croWded stage.
James Dahlman of Omaha, a Bryan
leader, jumped to the secretarys desk
and urged the throng forward. The
state standards were grouped about
the platform. Galleries and dele
gates were on their feet waving thou
sands Of flags and cheering them
selves hoarse. Many of the New
lork delegates stood and cheered
with the others, but the majority re-
manned seated
Only six banners were missing from
the states in the parade through the
aisles after the grouping at the stage
had broken into procession. They
were Maryland, Minnesota, New York,
Georgia, New Jersey and Delaware.
The crowd of shouters, apparently
frenzied, were carried away by their
foo1inoc, opH Nforo11v cfOrYna6 tho
press seats along the aisle leading to
the speakers stand. They broke
down chairs, and we'll nigh overturn-
ed the strong writing tables by sheer
physical weight. A number Of news
paper men and telegraph operators
were compelled to hastily leave their
seats in order to avoid serious injury,
so fierce was the rush of the frantic
shouters.
At $50 o'clock. when the tumult
had continued for twenty4hree min
utes. the parade halted in front Of
the speakers stand and there. with
standards clustered in thicket, the
marchers stood and yelled like men
whose political enthusiasm had for
the time being bereft them Of all
sense.
When the noise had continued for
at arms began their first efforts to
still the uproar and to clear the
aisles. The state standards In large
measure were returned to their places
and one hour after its commencement
the excitement and the noise were
subsiding.

I'VE in Colorado have every year
increasing reasons for sincere thanks
TO Almighty God in whom we live
and move and have our being. From
the material side we have abundant
cause for rejoicing. All our people
are coming into larger comfort every
year. Colorado is rich in organized
happiness in the homes of the plain
people who are never gazetted in the
papers because they are always up
right and good. All sorts and CON
ditions of men are finding here life
of comfort and freedom from want.
I'VE have yet greater reason to- re-
loice because we have fine schools
and growing interest in the higher
life of the spirit. Our rapidly grow
ing churches tell the story of the
strength and stability of this higher
life which has its source in down
right serious purpose to put away
the wrong world by making the right
world. In no other community on
earth can one find among good peo-
pie saner tolerance or a larger and
sweeter charity. The bitterness of
earlier times have been supplanted
by the Christian warmth of feeling
which leads up to count all men as
brothers. oh. give thanks unto the
Lord; for He is good; because His
mercy endureth forever
Let everyone remember the poor
at this season of thanksgiving.
Blessed is he that considereth the
poor; the Lord will deliver him in
time of trouble.
Let everyone practice the pres
ence of God in reverent worship in
Gods house. Let everyone also prac-
tice the presence of God in kindness
to men and women and children and
dumb animals. The test of religion
is in kindness of heart and in exhi-
billions of gentleness toward all life
about us. Go your way, eat the
fat and drink the sweet, and send
portions unto them for whom nothing
is prepared: for this day is holy
unto our Lord; neither be we sorry;
for the joy of the Lord is your
strength"

Resolutions Were Not Changed.

At the SNAP" convention Mr.
Fordney had resolutions prepared in
advance endorsing Mr.. Cannon for
president. The opposition of the
Shiawassee delegation, which at
that time stood alone in it's advocacy
of Secretary Taft, led the committee
to change the resolutions before be-
ing presented to the convention to
merely a recommendation of Mr..
Cannon.-Argus.
Not one single word was changed
in the resolutions as presented to
the committee by one of it's members
either by the committee or the con-
vention. The resolution referring to
the presidency went just as far as
was wished by Congressman Fordney.
Neither was the Shiawassee delega-
ton unit in opposing the adoption
of the report of the committee as one
would be led to believe by the state
ment of the Argus, seven members
voting to strike out the reference to
Speaker Cannon and six against.
Again, the seven were not at that
time all advocating the nomination
of Secy. Taft, part Of them were op-
posed to the adoption of any resolu-
ton touching the presidency.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1908-05-22
Stand by Joe FOrdney.

The National Farmer says: "Sug-
ar beet" Joe Fordney's devotion TO
the industries in his distric in partic-
ular and in Michigan in general, by
reason of the early opposition to the
expressed policy of Secretary Taft,
aroused a little opposition to him in
some portions of his district among
that class of'politicians who cared
less for the industries which have
contributed so much to the material
prosperity of the state than for their
personal preferences. Meantime Mr..
Taft modified his views as to the
Philippine sugar question, and Mr.
Fordney yielded to the sentiment of
the state on the matter of Mr.. Taft's
candidacy.
However, over in Shiawassee a few
disgruntled people, brought out A.
l.. Chandler, Corunna lawyer, as
candidate for the nomination for
congress against Mr.. Fordney.
But the Chandler boom has died
'bornin' before it got upon its feet.
Announcement is made that he has
quit.
His discretion is commendable.
The people who owe so much to the
efforts of Joe Fordney in making a
fight for the sugar beet industry in
his district are not going back upon
the fighting congressman, and he will
have as large majority as ever.
1t is largely to his credit that the
sugar beet industry has not been en-
tirely wiped out in the Eighth dis
trict. He stands for the Republican
principle of protection to American
industry, and he is more concerned
in the prosperity of his own people
than he is in fostering the prosperity
Of the little brown men in the Orient
or the Cuban greasers. He can al.
ways be relied upon to fight for home
industry.
