Norwich bulletin., 1912-07-03

Senator Bankhead stood for a long while before he could proceed.
 Underwood's Name Withdrawn.
 He had uttered but few words when the meaning of his remarks be- came clear and there was frequent in terruptiOns of applause and noisy demonstration.
 The only display of temper marking the nominating session came from some of the Missouri delegates. They demanded to know of Senator Bank head why MT. Underwood had not withdrawn when Clark appeared to have chance for the nomination and accused the Underwood delegates of
 faking.' Senator Bankhead paid no heed to the questions hurled at him. He said Mir. Underwood desired the success of his party above everything else and would not lend himself to any plan to prevent a nomination. From the moment Senator Bankhead reached the platform, the heavy drag ging wheels of the convention machin- cry which had been slowly turning over and over again, accomplishing nothing. began to revolve with an en- ergy that meant results
 Missouri for Clark to the End"
 Senator Stone of Missouri. who had been in consultation with Speaker Clark, climbed to the stage and when he could make himself heard. released in the name of the speaker all of the delegates who had been pledged to him.
 As for Missouri. however" he add ed, she will cast her 36 votes for old Champ Clark to the end"
 Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston followed Stone. The convention was in an uproar. The Wilson forces already were celebrating their victory. There no longer was any doubt as to the re- suit. Mayor Fitzgerald withdrew the name of Governor Foss of Massachu- setts from further consideration and declared that the old Bay state would fall in line for Woodrow Wilson.
 Then a second Fitzgerald was rec ognized. This time 1t was the con- gressman from Brooklyn, a member of the New York delegation. He made a plea for harmony and ended by sug- gesting that further roll call be dis penSed with and the nomination of Wilson be made by exclamation. New York. he said, was ready to vote for the man the great body of the dele gates desired as their nominee.
 Pennsylvania Carried Wilson Across
 s Line.
 The faithflh Missourisns o6iected to this plan because of their desire to vote last time for Speaker Clark lt vas foregone conclusion what the result would be as the last call of the states began.
