OF Indiana Named For
Second Place on the
Ticket

Denver, July 10.-The Democratic
national convention late this evening
completed the ticket for the campaign
of 1908 by the nomination by acclama-
tiOn of John w. Kern OF Indiana for
vice president. The nomination of
Kern substantiates in the minds of
many the statements attributed to
Bryan to the effect that the approach
ing national contest is to be fought in
the middle western states with Ohio
and Indiana as the chief battle camps.
Bryan has declared all along that he
would go into Taft's own state of
Ohio, that the Buckeye state was the
hub Of the fight; and that with the
nomination of Kern for vice president
Bryan is to strengthen his stand and
he hopes to be successful in both
Buckeye land and Hoosier land. Ohio
has 23 and Indiana Is votes in the
electoral college.
Quite a number of we'll informed
Republicans have asserted since the
convention that they feel skittish over
both Ohio and Indiana for the reason
that in the former state the RepRbli-
cans are sadly disunlted, chiefly be-
cause of the Taft-Foraker dissensions
and in Indiana the followers of Vice
President Fairbanks aud theic adver-
saries are not all in harmony. But
Bryan and Kern will have to over
come much if they are to carry Ohio
and Indiana.

convention was announced for /

by sixteen states while that of Gray

Representative Hammond, of Min
nesota, presented the name of Gov
ernor Johnson.
Mr.. Hammond's references to Gov
ernor Johnson's early hardships were
applauded.

plause and waved flags to the chorus

A dozen Georgia delegates joined

The friends of Mr.. Johnson would
not heed Clayton's banging. They
Cheered with redoubled vigor. Clay
ton waved his hand at them to sit
down as he continued to whack his
gavel for order. 1t was a very sturdy
demonstration. Not even John l. Mar
tin, sergeant-at-arms, who was sent
by Clayton to the floor to restore or
der, was obeyed. The Johnson men
would not cease their cheers. Another
five minutes went by Then the band
started with I'VE Won't Go Home
Till Morning" 1t played exactly one
half minute.
But the cheers continued. accom-
panied by the whacks of Clayton's
gavel The band played Aud Lang
Syne" for half a minute, the cheering
continued and Clayton was becoming
very angry. continuing to work his
gavel every second.
The demonstration had lasted fif-
teen minutes. Clayton renewed his
efforts for order. A dozen times he
had tried to break up the Johnson out
burst. While the johnson demonstra-
ton was at it's height he order the
secretary to continue the call of states.

but he could not be heard ten feet
from the platform.
Quite came only when ex-Repre-
sentative Handy, of Delaware, appear

members of the committee on resOlu-
tions. Handy continued talking while
the committee members took seats on
the platform.
1t was trying situation for Mr..
Handy but when the committee was
seated. as he had bi d luck with inter
ruptions he now appealed for fair
hearing. The audience clapped their
hands heartily and Mr.. Handy re-
sumed his speech.
When Mr.. Handy said that we
should not accept the frenzy of a con-
vention hall for the sober sense OF
the people he got splendid burst of
cheers.

Convention Hall, Denver, July O.
At o'clock, the hour set for the
evening session of the convention, the
aUditoTiOum was ablaze with electric
lights and was packed from the sub
cellar TO the dome. American flags
of all sizes had been distributed
among the delegates and the occu-
pants of the galleries. 1t was a
flaming sea of color. The cowboy
band was playing almost every sec
ond.
Word had been received that the
committee on platform would not be
ready 10 report until 8 O'Clock. There
was no promise that the report of the
platform would be adopted before II
o'clock central time, but on the con-
trary the indications were to the ef-
feet that the platform report would
not be out of the way until l o'clock
tomorrow morning, New York time.
At s o'clock, or 10 o'clock New
York time, Lewis McQuiston, of Penn
Sylvania, was recognized Immediately
after the convention was called to
order, an hour later than the hour
fixed. He demanded of Permanent
Clayton that James e. Kerr, of Penn

ment.

CogniZed by the chair and he moved

wait upon the platform committee and
the platform would be ready. Mr.
James, Thomas Hehin, of Alabama,
and F. H. Lynch, of Minnesota, we're
appointed such a committee. Thomas
II. Ball. of Texas, was invited TO
the platform to speak during the in
terim. 1t was anything to kill time
until the platform committee could
report.
The next speaker was Senator
Thomas F. Grady, of New York, who
was introduced by Chairman Clayton
as an eloquent speaker, representing
the Tammany tiger who would in
November next devour the Republican
elephant"
Judge Martin ]. Wade, of Iowa, was
the next speaker. He was followed
by Champ Clark, of Missouri, who at
tackled the Republicans in his usual
style, sneered at the Chicago plat
form and declared that William ].
Bryan was the greatest living Amer
lean and that he would give the coun-
try tariff for revenue only.
At this point, S:35 o'clock, Ollie
James reported that the committee
on platform would not be ready to
