Trouble From the start
Mutterings OF the trouble we're heard
early in the day aud an unusual condi-
ton existed. The delegates were unan-
imous in declaring that John LIND was
one of the best Democrats In Mime
sofa They were all his friends. put
divided into two factions. one de-
clared that Lind must be nominated
despite his repeated refusals 70 De
ton in a telegram from Portland, ore,
yesterday, that he would not accept
the nomination II made; the other ar
gued that Lind had been governor OF
Minnesota and had nothing to gain by
the nomination, and that he was OF
sufficient Importance TO have his WISH
es needed by the convention
The latter faction argued and shook
fists at the chairman and at the other
side while THOSE who were bent on
nominating Lind howled' Missed and
until BY sheer force of noise and en-
thusiasm they won their point and Sc
cured the nomination
Even then the friends opposed 10
the nomination took advantage OF
motion to make the nomination
unanimous to argue.
They wanted an opportunity 10 suo-
init the nomination to Mr.. Lind oy tel
eprsph. and await his answer-to take
a recess until s o'clock tonight II nee
essary. but this failed and finally the
nomination was made unanimous anu
the convention adjourned at b;sS.
other nominations were made by ac-
clamation

Iitv OF President Taft who, with ms
Icampaign promises still fresh put
dominated by the predatory interests
