We pressed our horses flanks and
the animals broke into trot. Now
we were entering upon the great for.

an hour or more we logged along bri-

Taft was foisted ON them as the nom
inee through the votes of delegates
from Democratic states and those Of
the Taft contestees.
The steam roller used by the adj
ministration was based on delegates
from the south. the majority Of whom
were either federal Office holders or
their relatives. A Progressive was
nominated because the few Taft men
of Republican states were able to raj
ly the solid south TO their support.
In the estimation of those who at
tended the convention. the victory
was costly. Taft cannot be elected by
steam roller methods in the north
and the south is normally Democrat
ic. AS result of the nomination,
the formation Of third party has
been started and it is believed by
many that it will become the basis of
the Progressive party, made up of the
progressive elements of both the pres
ent parties, and that the other ele-
ments will join in great Conserva-
tive party. AS yet it is too early to
venture prediction, but it is believ-
ed that the action of the Baltimore
convention will decide the direction
of the new movement. " -z5

but refused to vote for Roosevelt al
though the state had been carried by
1900. The Roosevelt men demand
ed their votes as California was over
whelmingly for Roosevelt. On the
roll call that followed, the Progress
sives came the nearest to winning
that they had on any ballot but it
showed that the organization was
standing firm. Many thought that
the California delegates at least
would be given to the Progressives
but the Taft organization refused to
make any concessions and the Taft
men were seated. When the fourteen
tainted votes from Washington were
cast for the Taft men, the voters
were Kissed.
The result in the California cases
clearly demonstrated that the steam
roller was in control and no more
roll calls were taken. The reports of
the majority in the other cases were
adopted viva voce. Each time Root

of a clean convention and refused to
take further active part The report
of the committee on resolutions,

rushed through in the same manner

states had equal voice with delegates
from Republican states and polled
enough votes to make the majority.
With the exception of New York,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Indiana
and parts of Michigan, Massachusetts,
Iowa and Ohio, the states that went
for Taft are in the south. As each
state was given twice as many seats
in the convention as it has senators
and representatives, a southern state
with the same population as Mime

much voice in the convention as did
Minnesota But in the actual cleo

Baltimore, June 27.--William j.
Bryan won three victories yesterday
in spite Of the fact that he lost the
temporary craftsmanship of the Dem
ocratic convention. He prevailed up
on the resolutions committee to defer
the framing Of a platform until
candidate for president had been
named; he forced the naming Of Ollie
James, of Kentucky, one Of Bryan's
closest friends. for permanent chair
man; and twice fatty refused to ac-
cept the Craftsmanship Of the commit
tee on resolutions.
Unable to proceed with the organi-
zation Of the convention until the
credentials committee was ready to
report, the delegates yesterday after
noon listened to spell binders with
the understanding that they would
adjourn when they grew tired. Ad-
journment was taken at2:17 until !
