garded then and had been regarded Tor
years as progressive by the democrats
and by NJ. Bryan. What has since trans
pred to Vbnvince Mr.. Bryan, that though
in Judgment. a progressive only two
months ago. and even only one week ago,
| am not a progressive now? Have L
suddenly proved faithless to the principles
which 4 have upheld steadfastly for 20
years? No. Have been recreant TO my
trust as speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives? No. Mr.. Bryan cites no
act of mine as evidence of his assumption.
He withholds his vote from me because he
will not participate in the nomination of
any man whose nomination depends upon
the vote of the New York delegation
- Quotes Bryan
Mr.. Clark then quotes at length from
the statement which Mr.. Bryan read in
the convention and concludes:
"Although Mr.. Bryan's words are
shrewdly chosen to avoid making a d.
rect charge upon me, the implication
is plain It is, that il elected President
of the United States, would consider
myself obligated to those whom he mem
tons and that l would be under the
control of those influences
ut would be unbecoming in upholding
my present position to express thejndig-
PERSONS upon my character. My integrity
has never before been questioned for the
simple reason that never once during the
II years have served in Congress have
I been subjected to the test of tempta-
ton through wrongful influences in any
form. But whether I shall become your
designated candidate for President or not
/ am your speaker at a time when your
party is in the crucible of scrutiny and
cannot, In truth, permit these asper-
sions to pass unheeded.
"As speaker, as a lifelong democrat,
proud of my party as an American man,
| pronounce Mr.. Bryan's implied accusa-
lions both false and Infamous.
IF I am speaking the truth with re-
spect to this matter, 1t follows necessari-
1y that the reasons advanced by Mr..
Bryan for departing from the time hon.
ored custom of our party in recognizing
the voice of the majority are not reasons
at all, but the shallowest of pretexts put
forward to achieve some purpose which
I shall not attempt to divine.
81 bid you, then, say to my friends
that accept with deepest gratitude their
renewed assurances of loyalty, and now
declare without qualification that my
name will remain before the convention.
subject to no trade or dicker, until two
thirds of tho delegates shall ratify or re-
fuse to ratify the action of the majority"
Senator Stone came to Washington late
tonight and held a lengthy conference
with Speaker Clark.

dated at Washington today is as fol-
lows:

supporters forwarded to me by you, beg

Il believe that am speaking the ex-
act truth when say that no personal
interest would weigh with me for one
moment as against my lifelong devotion
to our party. If majority of the dele
gates nad not declared stheir preference

entertain your proposition. The fact.
however, that they have done SO on eight
successive ballots. creates an exceptional
condition which surely merits careful
and conscientious consideration
1T is undoubtedly true that the cus-
tom of our party was violated when the
convention refrained from ratifying by
two-thirds vote the expressed wish Of a
majority. This was done, according to
my understanding. at the instigation of
Mr.. Bryan, who successfully solicited the
cooperation OF others in an effort to
prevent such ratification. Mr. Bryan set

WHAT CANDIDATES SAY s A.
ABOUT THE CONVENTION

Washington, June 9o.-"There IL no
change In the situation that I can see.
said Speaker Clark tonight. sit is ex-
journed last night. I went over to Bal
timore to see some of my friends be-
cause it was more convenient for me to
go than for them to come over to see
me. have no intention of going to Balti-
more again.
my friends tell me that this Is the time
for me to stay In the race said Repre-
sentative Oscar Underwood of Alabama.
Il am relying on their Judgment. l can
see no change In the situation at this
time and | do not expect any before to-
morrow. l contemplate no action which
will change the situation before the con-
vention meets"
In this way two of the leading oandi-
dates in the democratic convention dead
lock epitomized the situation. Neither
would make any extended statement. Mr..
Underwood appeared more hopeful and
optimistic than he has since the conven-
ton met.
Mr.. Underwood is being importuned by
democrats representing other candidates
10 withdraw and support possible VIM
ner. He is referring the all to Sena-
tOr Bdnknedu ana MS TRENDS III bdltt-
more, who are managing his campaign
for the nomination, following the theory
that his friends in the south have put him
in the race and kept him there and that
any move in his interests Will have to be
made by them.
Speaker Clark shows signs of the strain
he has been under for 27 hours.
Ollie James of Kentucky permanent
chairman Of the Baltimore convention,
spent some time with the speaker and
advised with him on the situation.
Il have told all those interested In the
convention" said Mr.. James, that 1
am going TO treat all questions put up to
the chair as IL | were @ Judge on the
bench. The questions will be decided on
the facts and not on sentiment"
Chairman James thinks that solution
of the difficulty will be found before
the convention meets tomorrow.
Senator-elect Robert Brnssard of
Louisiana, delegate at large from
his state and member of tho resolu-
lions committee, brought an Underwood
boom for the vice presidency to Wash
ington Mr.. Brussard Is voting for Gov
ernor Wilson.

geous position at this time" said Mr..

president. Senator O'Gorman of New
York and Senator Kern of Indiana
talked for two hours this afternoon over
the situation In which the convention
found itself Both senators said that
their talk had no significance. Senator
OGorman said in his opinion Governor
Wilson will be the nominee of this con-
vention.
Former Governor Francis of Missouri
one of the leaders of the movement for
Speaker Clark said that the Clark forces
had no intention of retreating: that they
were entrenched for a stout campaign
and they were not considering comprom-
Using.
ut has been the history of the demo-
cratic party for more than seventy
years" said Mr. Frances that the man
who received a majority of the votes Of
the convention was the nominee of the
party. Mr.. Clark received a majority OF
the conventions vote and is the moral
nominee"
Senator Bankhead remarked with some
asperity that he was weary of the talk
that the Underwood forces would COM
promise
"Mr. Underwood Is the logical choice
for President" said Mr.. Bankhead, "and
we propose to stand firm. They have got
to come to us"
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1912-07-01

The Underwood managers expressed
themselves as entirely satisfied with
events up to the present They believe
their time is coming and that their plan
of campaign, which Is a waiting one, has
been justified. After the other leading
candidates have demonstrated their in
ability to secure the nomination, the I'm.
derwood men say. the chance will come
With that end In view It was said thai
the Underwood supporters had not tried
to increase the vote of their candidate
on any of the 20 ballots taken thus far
Their attitude has been to let every mar
have his day and at the same time keep
ing Underwood before the field as the
man to turn to as second choice. The
time must come, they feel. when the
convention will recognize the necessity
for a re-alignment. When this point Is
reached the strength of the Underwood
campaign will be tested.
Because of this phase of the Under
wood campaign, there is no spirit of COM
promise in their campaign except a com.
promise OF the other forces upon Under
wood as second choice.
An understanding was reached to-
night among the West Virginia dele
gates to disregard the unit rule tomor-
row and let each delegate vote as he
pleased. There are several Wilson men

Underwood leaders met delegates
from the stronger Underwood delega-
tions tonight in a conference that last
ed for several hours.
Senator Bankhead, manager for Mr.
Underwood, declared after the confer
ence that there would be no defections
from the Underwood strength. The dele
cations were carefully polled today and
1T was claimed that adj were counted to
remain loyal.
Denial was made tonight of report
in circulation all day that the Illinois
delegation, which had been for Clark
the balloting. would go to
Wilson on the first ballot tomorrow.
There was no caucus of the delega ton
and therefore 1T was not known just
what proportion was wavering in al
legiance to the Missourian.
1t was reported also that the Indiana
delegation, which has been held intact
for Governor Marshall. would split to-
morrow The Iowa delegation also was
reported as~prepared TO swing 10 some
candidate other than Clark.
