OF Mr.: Ryan, I will withdraw the las
part OF my resolution requesting thstl
withdrawal from the convention. Bu
will not withdraw the first part which
demands that our candidate shall b.
free from enlargement with those
men,"
Again the convention was in an up.
roar and Mr.. Bryan found It difficult
to proceed.
Representative Flood Of Virginia
asked for recognition and Mr.. Bryar
yielded to him. While Mr.. Flood wa
waiting for the convention to grow
quiet. he INDUCED in a sharp inter.
change, with Mr.. Bryan, the latter nm
ally stepping back and taking hi
seat. Applause and interruption pre-
vented Mr.. Flood from speaking fol
several minutes.
Flood Raps Bryan.
In the name Of the sovereign state
OF Virginia" shouted Flood. Il accept
the insolent proposition made by the
only. man in the convention who wants
to destroy democratic success"
This brought many Of the delegate,
to their feet with roar. g.
While the disturbance was on, Mr.
Ryan rose from his place in the Vir-
ginia delegation and got a shout OF
greeting from those seated near him.
Mr. Flood after accepting the Bryan
challenge. retired. The New York dele
CATION had been missing up to this
time. engaged in a state caucus. They
came in while the uproar was going or
and added to the tumult.
While a dozen men were trying from
the platform to bring the convention to
order, Senator elect Vardaman. of Mis-
sissippi, came to the front of the plat
form and made an appeal for order
You can not settle anything by the
use Of your throats," he shouted to the
turbulent convention. "The time has
come for reason. moderation and
thought. You can not afford to throw
away the opportunity now before the
democratic party"
Mr.. Vardaman said the Bryan reso-
luton contained in part some merit. He
approved the first part. He did not
think the convention should touch upon
the rights Of the states in the selection
OF delegates.
"At the same time" added varda
man. II think the fewer we have OF the
class named by Mr.. Bryan the better
chance we will have in November"
John W. Price. Of Virginia. also asked
time from Mr.. Bryan to make state
ment.
Virginia Controls. Self.
"On behalf OF the state Of Virginia
we protest as to the latter part Of the
resolution" he said, but no one will
accede more heartily to the first part
Of it."
He declared Virginia had been able
to control her internal affairs and did
not ask outside aid.
IF there are undesirable men on the
Virginia delegation" he said. ''Virgini.
will take the responsibility. Virginia
can right her wrongs and demand her
rights without outside interference"
MI Bryan: resuming his argument.
said he would modify his resolutions
to Virginia and the unseating Of Mr..
Ryan. az two men had spoken for that
state Directing to the latter part Of his
resolution.
Does New York ask the withdrawal
of the last part Of the resolution !!
questioned Mr.. Bryan.
no. no." came from the floor.
Withdraw it yourself shouted some
one.
Il prefer, to hear from New York
herself"
The New York delegation sat in alb
solute silence.
"Then I yield the floor to the opposi-
ton. reserving the right to close the
discussion" said Mr.. Bryan.
Former Governor William A. Nc
Corkle, Of West Virginia. asked from
the floor an opportunity to speak and
was called up to the platform.
II do not know personally one Of the
gentlemen named In this resolution"
he said II have no interest In the
interests they. have.
THE resolution Of itself is one upon
which all democrats may meet" he
said, "but when they do meet 1t must
be under circumstances which make
such a measure unnecessary. The dem :
ocratic party has never been con-
trolled by any interest.
A cheer and hiss greeted this state
ment, and Chairman James warned the
galleries that any one discovered hiss
ing would be removed from the hall.
Il appeal to every democrat In the
country" said McCorkle.
as not the resolution a senseless and
foolish thing?"
Applause and cheers greeted him.
go for him." shouted a delegate.
Hit him again." called another.
Governor Mccorkle said the resolu-
ton could only produce strife and
trouble and put success further on than
It had been half an hour ago"
He hoped 1t would be the duty OF
the convention to vote down the reso-
luton.
Governor McCorkle pleaded for COM
promise when it did not mean a COM
promise of principle.
Keeps After Bryan.
This resolution has no need here to-
night" he said.
That's right" came Q voice.
Representative Flood arose, he said
to correct what he believed to be q
misapprehension on Mr.. Bryan's part

that We have to 90 to him for advice
or counsel"
A great cheer interrupted him.
