PARKER CHOSEN IN
C0MM|TTE SESSION
IN SPITE OF PROTESTS MADE BY
W. ]. BRYAN.
Gets Eight Of Sixteen Votes in CON-
nittee-Henry of Texas Three.
Rest Scattered Among Other Can
didates.

Baltimore, Md. June Former
Judge Alton B. Parker of New York
was selected today for temporary
chairman of the democratic national
convention by the arrangement:
committee.
The choice Of Parker was made
against the protests of William j.
Bryan, whose friends on the commit
tee submitted the names of four
other candidates.
Judge Parker received eight of the
sixteen votes of the committee. Con-
gresham Robert l.. Henry of Texas
3; Senator-elect Ollie James of Ken
tucky,3; Senator Kern of Indiana. 1:
Senator Orgorman Of New York, 1
Urri Woodson Of Kentucky was
named temporary secretary; John L.
Martin Of Missouri, temporary ser
geant at arms The selections will
be passed on at a full meeting of the
national committee next Monday.
Several members of the commit
tee said tonight they expect a fight
by Bryan and his friends on the
floor of the convention against the
selection of Judge Parker.
1t is reported that a telegram had
been sent to Bryan asking him to
come at once to Baltimore.
r. NJ Johnston of Houston, Texas.
was among those voting for Parker
today.
The Bryan objection to Parker is
that the campaign will be along pro-
gressive lines and progressive
should be named as temporary chair
man instead of Parker who is a
conservative.
Friends of Judge Parker an
nounced openly before the meeting
that if Bryan desired to raise the
issue it was better to settle it now,
and the leaders of the Clark and
Wilson movements decide that since
the issue was raised they would come
out for a progressive and put forward
candidate against Parker.
