ple," led by William J. Bryan, in the
meeting of the Democratic National
Committee today. And incidentally
St. Louis got ahead of Baltimore in
chances of winning the big conven-
ton.
But at the mammoth banquet to-
night with $50 guests present and
with leaders of all Democratic factions
on the list of speakers, including Folk
and Clark, the fight was forgotten.
Every speaker voiced "straight Dem
ocracy' al b pledged shoulder to
shoulder fiEht for the party's pat
form and nominee. Representative
Lloyd of the Democratic Congress
sional Campaign Committee was one
of them.
Efforts to identify Bryan as an as
pirant for fourth presidential nomi-
nation caused him to deny any such
intention emp hatically, but he gave
ample evidenc e of his firm purpose
to make his voice loudly heard and
his influence S rongly felt in Demo-
cratic councils. He sat in the COM
mittee session upon the proxy OF
Committeeman P. L. Hall of Nebras-
ka.
1t took nearly four hours to "steam-
rolf Mr.. Bryan and to o. k. Col. }.
M. Guffey as the legally elected Ma
tional Committeeman from Pennsyl-
vania. Then, with the time for the
banquet drawing near, it was too late
to choose convention city or to face
the vexing question of phrasing the
paragraph of the call for the National
Convention applying to primaries.
St. Louis is offering SIS, 600 in cash
and the use of her new Coliseum,
while Baltimore is offering 500, 900.
1t is believed, however, that St.
Louis superior facilities will out
weigh Baltimore extra $25, 900.
