the auditorium with cheerful faces,
and much laughter. The events of the
night and early morning in the COM
mittee on credentials were much to
their liking and they were, more con-
fident than ever of the ultimate sue
cess of their candidate.
The Georgia men, anxious still, in the
face of apparently Overwhelming odds,
were late in arriving, as they had held
another caucus early today for the
purpose of establishing rallylng
point for the fight against Bryan.
When the Georgia men arrived 1t be-
came known that the delegation was
unable to reach conclusion regarding
the candidate they will support. An
other caucus will be held tonight, as
the constituted delegation stands
twenty-three against Bryan to three
for him.
1t was 1925 when Chairman Bell
raped for order in the second days
session of the democratic national
convention. 1t was announced that
marching clubs would be permitted to
march thru the hall as soon as the
prayer had been delivered. Arrange
ments for the entrance and exit OF par
aders were hastily carried out under
direction of the sergeant at arms.
Impromptu conferences seemed to be
in progress in all parts of the delegates
section and it was some time before
the participants needed the frantic ap-
peals Of the chairman for order. When
quiet finally prevailed, Rev. Christian
Reisner, of Denver delivered the in
vocation At 12:43 the marching clubs
entered the hall. the band playing

parade was not a long one, and the
convention soon returned to business
Senator Thomas R. Grady, of New
York, chairman of the committee on
rules, presented the report Of that COM
1nfttee. It provided that the conven-
tion shall be governed by the rules Of
the democratic convention of 1904. The
report was adopted unanimously.
Resolutions Of coincidence on the re-

Delegation Loses Bible.
A storm Of laughter went thru the
convention hall when Chairman Bell
said with smile:
John s. Whelan, secretary of the
New York delegation, is wanted at the
long distance telephone by Governor
Hughes, Of New York"
When the laughter subsided, the
chairman said:
This Is no laughing matter. This
business concerns affairs of state, and
it is an indication that the democrats
are already beginning to get togeth-
err"
"The Michigan delegation has lost it's
Bible" answered Chairman Bell, amid
another outburst Of laughter. "They
would be very much gratiied," he adj
ded, IF it was returned"
Demo nstration for Bryan.
Ollie James, of Kentucky, was rec
ognized to rnove that a recess be talk
en- until this evening. There were
cries of "Np" from all over the hall.
When the motion was put the dele

the galleries shouted ''No." After a
second trial the chairman was forced
to ask the Band to play to restore or

quiet calls for Senator Gore of Ok
lahoma, came from every part of the
hall. On his responding a great dem
onstration occurred. When the senator
mentioned the name of Bryan" it was
like a spark to powder The demon
stration was confined largely to the
delegates. A Bryan banner carried to
the platform gave fresh impetus to
the cheering. The New York dele
gates, as rule, sat still.
The band began playing '"There'll
Be a Hot Time Tonight" Delegations
carrying their state banners to the
rostrum surrounded Gore. The cheering
has now lasted thirteen minutes. Geor-
gia, Minnesota, New York, Delaware,
Connecticut and New Jersey have not

Gore began by declaring that Okla
homa was the most democratic state
In the union. Continuing, he said:
"The president Of the United States
has said that his opinion of our constf-
tuition is unfit for publication. That is
true of many opinions of the president
of the United States. The great secre-
tary Of war came to Oklahoma and
waged war against our constitution.
He asked us to give up our rights OF
liberty and self government, but by the
vote Of thousands upon thousands, we
rejected the advice Of Taft, and ac-
cepted Bryan's."
The Maryland banner was carried to
the front. Delegates with banners are
in a procession about the
hall The galleries are taking very lit
tie part. The demonstration has lasted
