whether the proposition had been voted
down instead of having carried.

BALTIMORE. June 2S.-While the

such spectators as did not for the mo

floor turned their glasses upon two wo-
men From one to the other was di-
rected the lingering gaze of the con-

One woman was Mrs. william Jen-

the thick of the fray that was raging

Murphy, Sullivan
And Taggart Confer

BALTIMORE. June 2S.-Charles F.
Murphy, of New York; Roger Sullivan.
of Illinois. and Thomas Taggart, of
Indiana, who yesterday combined
against Bryan, held conference after
the adjournment Of the Democratic
convention today in an effort to agree
on a candidate on whom to unite on
the second ballot No agreement was
reached, and the conferees went to bed
with the understanding they would
confer again before the convention re-
assembled this afternoon.
Report from the conference had 1t

that they make such hay In, the presi-

SON founder of the Democratic party
paid this tribute to the Alabaman
The state of Georgia has given a
large amount of territory TO this
Union out of which other states
have subsequently been erected. OF
this, one of the fairest portions, ly-
ing nearest to her heart. was that
comprising the greater part of what
is now the state of Alabama. 1t Is
with peculiar pride and pleasure,
therefore, that Georgia sees her
daughter state. now in the full
bloom of her magnificent maturity,
bring forward for the presidential
nomination a man whom every
Democrat can delight to honor. and
in whose integrity wisdom. ability
and courage every American can
place the most implicit trust and
confidence. Georgia has gladly
given him her Endorsement, and has
instructed US. her delegates in this
convention, to give him our united
support until his nomination is Sc
cured
We confidently loak forward to
the certainty of his nomination,
and ask you to examine as we have
done. into his preeminent qualifica
tions for this high Office, in the
serene conviction that when you
have done so you will agree with
MS that there IS no other man to
day to whom our party owes more
than 1t does to him. and that there
is no other whose nomination holds
out greater promise for the com
mon people Of our country, or
whom they will more readily sup
port.
1t gives me the most heartfelt
pleasure on my own behalf and on
behalf Of the state OF Georgia. and
trust also on behalf of our en-
tire party. 20 second the nominal

Candidates.

I'm view Of the fact" said Mr.. Bry
an, that the contest between the pro-
gressive candidates has apparently
narrowed itself until there are two who
are leading, would you be willing to
express your belief a to the possible
winner" the Nebraskan was asked.
81 shall not discuss candidates" was
the emphatic reply, further than to
say that my position today Is as it has
been from the very beginning. My po-
sition regarding the two leading can
didates is neutral. ! am instructed for
Clark
Does that mean" he was asked.
that you lean toward Clark in your
preferences
81 announced before the primaries
that my support of the man for whom
the delegates instructed would not
change my preference"
How would you feel toward Senator
John w Kern OF Indiana If neither
Clark nor Wilson could be nominated"
ANY progressive suits me" said
Bryan. My position from the first has
been opposed to reaetionary. That
is my whole fight"
MT Bryan was told that Colonel
James Guffey, of Pennsylvania, had
said that the resolution introduced last
night had shattered any fleeting hope
| that the commoner himself might be
the party's nominee. Mr.. Bryan smiled.
We'll, Colonel Guffey is an authority
on shattered hopes and, therefore, feel
apprehensive after what he has to say
MI Bryan rumor is rife throughout
! the convention land in the various
! headquarters that you are seeking an
opportunity to bolt the party and that
last nights resolution was to pave the
way for such a move. Has this any
foundation"
"That question is always the Fast that
Is put to me by newspaper men be
cause they know that II will end the
| interview ! regard the question as i'm
pertinent and one that Is not deserving

Mrs Taft sat in the center of her
court circle, Invested of the purple tai

her She laughed heartily when Roose-

William H. Taft's name was mentioned,

Il Am Satisfied, u
SAYS Bryan.

Some of my friends feared that 1t
might fail of a two-thirds vote, two
thirds being necessary to suspend the
rules, but if l had secured a mere ma
| jority In the roll call the effect would
have been the same even If the reso-
luton itself had not passed I am sat
isfied"
The Nebraskan talked as he glanced
over sheaf of 500 or more kilograms
that had come in from all parts of the
country commenting on the resolution.
Evidently they did not displease the
commoner
The Nebraskan, exhilarated as he
! was over his victory would not discuss
| the probable result of the balloting. He
said he would not discuss candidates
He felt trif1e more free to talk, how
ever, when the names of Thomas For
| tune Ryan and August Belmont, whom
he had mentioned in the complete reso-
luton he had presented demanding that
they be removed as delegates to the
| convention.
Il am not worrying" he said. about
Mr.. Ryan or Mr. Belmont. However,
| J. 90 not DelieNe lutS Will bt utlcBdleG
to another Democratic convention in
the near future"
The Nebraskan held that It would not
be infringing on the rights of states to
! have expelled the two men.
Some of our Democrats are sincere
in the belief that 1t would be an in
vasion of the rights of the state to ex-
pei these men" he said. although that
| is one Of the reasons l was willing to
withdraw the latter part of the resolu-
ton. do not agree with them believe
that we have the same right to expel
delegate from this convention as the
senate has to expel Lorimer. But I did
not want to make the second part Of
the resolution serve as an excuse for
voting against the entire resolution. l
introduced this resolution to force the
nomination of a progressive. That was
my object in coming to this conven-
ton. feel that my coming has not
been without avail"
