Takes Part in the Greatest
Demonstration Recorded
In Annals of Political

Denver, Col, July S.-The greatest
demonstration in the annals of Ameri-
can politics occurred today, when, for
one nour and thirtydive minutes a
democratic national convention, and
fifteen thousand spectators, Bryan
mad, gave vent to the most remark
able exhibition of enthusiasm that has
ever been witnessed.
The demonstration started when
Senator Gore, referring to the adop-
ton o. Oklahoma's constitution. said:
Oklahoma rejected the advice Of
Taft and accepted the advice of Bryan.e
At the mention of Bryan's name,
tpandemonium broke loose Delegates,

and flowed from one section of the

the location of the delegations were

the head of the column and placing the

Taxing Mortgages.

Chairman Reilly, of the finance com
mittee, in making the report of that
committee, stated that the request of
f. S. Meiien to be relieved of taxes
assessed against him on a mortgage
for $500, could not be recommend
ed by the committee for the reason
that this mortgage was of record on
January 1. He stated further that the
committee had gone very carefully in
to the matter, and while he himself
was opposed to taxing mortgages, that
the law compelled that such be done,
and therefore the committee could
give no relief to Mr. MeIlen.
The matter was then discussed at
length, every alderman going on re-
cord as opposed 10 such taxation. Al
derman Brown said that il was driv-
ing money from Pensacola and favor
ing the nonresident, while il forced
the rates OF interest much higher than
would otherwise be the case.
Mr.. Brown moved TO relieve Mr..
Mellin of such an assessment and this
was seconded by Alderman Andrews.
