Mr.. Riley concluded his remarks and
was followed by Mr.. Gore, the sena-
tor from Oklahoma. He was listened
to quietly and in the end hea -tily ap-
plauded. He said, "Let us have peace
at any sacrifice, and at any cost" "a
house divided against itself cannot
stand, and the Republican party can
not expect to, when one-half is pro-
gressive, one-half reactionary; one
half alive, and one-half dead"
The convention, after listening ia
the speeches by various delegates, ad-
journs until 8 p. m.

OVER THE BOUNDING WAVES

Mrs. d. E. Kight received a couple
of letters from her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. W. R. Mason, written on board
the Campania, on June 8 and II, re-
spectively and mailed at Queenstown,
Ireland. Mrs. Mason wrote that they
had delightful trip, and were trou-
bled with seasickness but one day.
On Sunday morning she attended
church service and found it very i'm
pressive. Their fellow voyagers were
a jolly crowd, with several fine mu-
sicians among them and there was
music galore, which made the trip
seem like one big festive occasion.

BALTIMORE, June 26.-The crowd
began gathering for the second days
session of the convention at an early
hour. The weather is suffocating hot
and thousands of fans are in the hall.
The order of business for today's
session was the presentation of the
reports of the committee on creden-
tials, on permanent organization, and
the introduction of a permanent chair
man.
The hall was filled when the con-
vention was called to order by Tenn
porary Chairman Park at 1928. The
chair introduced Bishop John C. Muir
ry, Episcopal bishop of Maryland, who
pronounces the invocation, lasting two
minutes.
Governor Folk then addressed the
convention, commenting on the record
made by the Democratic party at the
Denver convention of 1908, and argues
for the Denver platform in this con-
yention.
Chairman Parker, in addressing the
convention, says: "There is no excuse
for constant batting around in the
air." and that no gentleman will talk
to his neighbor, while this distinguish
ed speaker is talking"
Ex-Governor Folk concludes his ad-
dress and is followed by Senator Ray
nor of Baltimore, who begins his ad-
dress by welcoming the convention to
his home city. Senator Raynor says
in the beginning of his speech,
Friends, there is only one motion to
adopt, and that is, eve shall pro-
gress." In arguing the tariff ques-
ton he said, "a man can not be a
Democrat and be protectionalist."
He was constantly interrupted by the
crowd as he tells his ideas as to what
the Democratic piaLft-m should con
tain, concluding his address at 1:55
p. m. The chairman announces that
they have a half dozen more speak
ers, and introduces Mr.. Clayton of
Alabama, who addresses the conven-
ton.
The convention became restless and
constantly interrupted the speaker
with cheers and shout Of "Clark,
"Underwood," and "Wilson." Dele
gates were led in the demonstration
for the various candidates by dele.
cations from New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania and Alabama.
The crowd finally quiets down suffi.
ciently for the speaker to resume. Mr.
Clayton concludes his speech, and Is
followed by Mr.. Riley of Mississippi

OZARK HORSE" TALK GENERAL AMONG THE DELEGATES
CREDENTIALS
COMMITTEE ASKS FOR
AN ADJOURNMENT

BALTIMORE, June 26.-The Gre
dentials committee at few minutes
to u today were determined to ask
the convention to adjourn until s
o'clock tonight, owing to the inability
of the committee to complete the work
on the contest cases. The arguments
in the Illinois cases are not yet CON
cluded.

Western Press
BALTIMORE, June 26. - Dark
horse" talk is more general today
about the convention than at any time
before. This is partly due to the fact
that the New York delegation is de-
termined to vote for William j. Gay
nor on the first ballot. Evidently the
purpose of this is to get test on
the first ballot, though some said it
showed he is to be doomed for sec
ond place.
1t is admitted by all that Champ
Clark will go into convention with
distinct advantage over all other
candidates.
Senator Ollie James of Kentucky
has been selected as permanent chair
man of the convention by the com
mittee on organization.
The Bryan advocates refuse to con-
slider him out of the running. They
say his defeat for temporary chair
manship yesterday is in no sense a
lN3l Vi NIdh mo obiNhE tl Npulu Dt do
presidential nominee. The Bryan
followers are hopeful that the nomi-
nation fight may go to the fourth or
fifth ballot and think in that situa-
tion many of the delegates would go
to him. The Wilson people who stood
by Bryan almost to man in his
fight for the temporary chairmanship
are expecting his support in return
when it comes to nominating and ap-
parently base their hope Of success
upon some such action.
1t is realized by all that because of
the two-thirds vote necessary to nomi-
nate in the convention the candidate
will be secured by combination of
some of the candidates or by break
or stampede Of the delegates.

BALTIMORE, June Senator
John w. Kern Of Indiana today was
elected chairman Of the resolutions
committee of the Democratic national
convention after William Jennings
Bryan had declined to accept that
post.
The Craftsmanship was offered to
Bryan on silver platter by the
subcommittee consisting of Senators
Rayner of Maryland, O'Gorman of
New York and Culberson of Texas.
Mr.. Bryan later spoke as follows;
81 do not wish to bind myself to
this committee in this way. 1t may
be that | will desire to present a
minority report, and in that case |
should wish to be free to do so. !
thank you gentlemen who wish me to
take the place but feel that | should
decline.

John W. Kern ano ;iace him in noini-
nation for chairman
The nominaG31 of Senator Kern
was accepted by the resolutions com
mittee and he WIS chosen chairman.
Shortly afser,sthe committee con-
vened Senator b u 1illman Of South
Carolina was taken quite i'll. He has
been sick for some time, but it is
believed his condition was not 50 Sc
rious as to bar him from taking part
in the shaping of tue party's platform
The doors of the meeting room We're
thrown open 90 all today.
BALTIMORE, June 26.-Francis y.
Heney of California and Charles r.
Crane, wealthy business man Of
Chicago, both strong Roosevelt men,
called on William j. Bryan at the Ho-
tel Beliverde last night and again
this morning.
Honey was one of the most vehem-
ent of the fighters against the steam
roller tactics at the Chicago conven-
ton. Crane, originally La Toilette
supporter, offered to provide a large
sum of money to back the Wisconsin
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for president. Later he is using
it in the interest of the Roosevelt con
tingent.
No one at the Bryan headquarters
would discuss the visit of Heney and
Crane.
The visitors, according to the talk
of politicians at the Beliyerde came to
Baltimore to feel out Bryan on the
question of joining his forces with
those Of Roosevelt in the formation Of
third party.

REV. M. L. TROUTMAN DIES

AND YEARS OF SERVICE

was a personal magnetism which drew
people of all faiths to him and partlc-
ularly the young people. No one ever
secured a stronger place in tine affec-
tons of all classes in so short while
as did Dr. Troutman. Yesterday all
Athens was in gloom over his reported
dying condition. 1t was only a few
days ago that. though frau and weak,
ne stood upon the college rostrum and
received his diploma as a distinguished
graduate Of the law class and had the
further honorary degree of d d. con-
ferred by the trustees of tie Univer-
slty of Georgia.
WAS GREAT SCHOLAR.
He was a great scholar, one of tn,
most ably read men of the age and
possessed a flow of language unexcelled.
one of the strongest points was his
fearIessness in expressing his opinions
He did this on all occasions and I'M
der all circumstances. Those who differed
with him, admired his loyalty to his
convictions and gave him credit for sin
certify. DR.. Troutman did not always fol-
low the beaten paths, but was student
and gave to all the benefit of his re-
search.
Probably today no man stood higher In
the esteem of all people of all denomina-
tons and creeds than did he and his in
fluence is far reaching. All day yester-
day crowds were around the hospital,
and on every tongue was the query,
Have you, heard from DR.. Troutman?
Perhaps the strongest evidence as TO his
hold upon the affections of his people
was the loyalty and love of all his
church officials.
DIR. Troutman's body will arrive in At
Ianta at 4.3O o'clock Saturday after
noon. The body will be taken to H. NJ.
Patterson's chapel, where funeral serv-
ices will be held at s o'clock Saturday
night They will be in charge of the
Masonic order. of which DR.. Troutman
was a member. The body will be sent
Sunday morning to Rome, Ga, for in
terment.

MODERN JOURNALISM
SUBJECT OF CONFERENCE
Its Ideals viii Be Discussed
in Madison Wisconsin by
Several Leaders
fRx Associated Prsss.l

MADISON, Wis, July ga conference
to be devoted to discussion of modern
journalism, it's ideals, it's trend and it's
existing condition has been called by the
extension division of the University of
Wisconsin to be held in Madison, July
20 to August 1, II was announced today
Among those who have signified their
purpose to attend the conference are
Melville E. Stone. general manager of
the Associated Press; w. J. Bryan. Will
liam Allen White. Norman Hapgood. edi-
tor of Golfers Weekly: Charles H. Gras-
ty, of the Baltimore Sun; and Fremont
Older, of the San Francisco Bulletin.
1t is planned to have two prominent
newspaper men speak at each of the six
sessions of the conference
The call for the conference asserts
that three important things are taking
place in modern journalism: First, the
amount of capital required to maintain a
newspaper is constantly increasing with
the result that newspapers are frequent
ly owned or controlled by men with
money rather than with ideas.
Second, the returns from advertising
are rapidly increasing, resulting in a
greater dependence on the advertising for
maintenance and a growing endeavor on
the part of the advertiser to influence
the news and editorial policies of the pa
pers.
Third, the newspaper is coming to be
an investment and not infrequently IS
run to serve the business social or polltl-
cal interests of it's owners
