cast for Clark withhold my vote
from him. The convention was in an
uproar.

poll was ordered.
On the fourteenth ballot the lead

CONTINUE HOUSE CASE
Governors Attempt to Make Him Tell
Is Again Postponed.

The Jay E. House habeas corpus
proceedings in Judge Dana's court was
today continued until the September
term of the district court by a stipu-
lation filed by attorneys in the case.
The proceedings in the district court
resulted from the refusal of the news
paper man to testify in a liquor in
QUESTION before a Shawnee county
justice of the peace.
1t was when the thermometer regis
tered 20 below zero that House stood
pat and refused to testify as to the
place he bought beer over a bar"
All of Justice McAfee's persistent urg
ing didn't feaze House in the least
and he was ordered committed to the
county jail. Then habeas corpus pro-
ceedings were filed and this case was
never heard. Many weeks have pass
ed and the end of the alleged investi-
cation is not in sight. Neither has
House suffered a change of heart and
offered his testimony.
The stipulation filed with the clerk
of the district court, was signed by
John S. Dawson, attorney general; and
by Charles Blood Smith, who repre-
sented House.

Baltimore, June 29.-The conven-
tion hall was again the center of in
tense animation and expectancy as the
hour for resuming the balloting drew
near. The crush was not so great as
on previous days. This was attributed
to the intense heat and the fact that
thousands of seatholders had remained
in the hall until adjournment this
morning and were tired out.
Look out for something on the
next roll CALI was the word that
passed around as coming from the Ne
braska delegation.
Mingled in the varying reports was
that which has been circulating con-
stantly that New Yorks ninety -otes
would before long be cast for Oscar
W. Underwood.
Alabama. Georgia, Florida and Mis-
sissippi delegates were unusually act
i've on the floor before the gavel fell,
spreading the Underwood boom.
Chairman James called the conven-
ton to order at 1:06. The chaplain,
the Rev. DR.. John Roach Straton,
then said the prayer.
The hall wasin confusion with dele
gates crowding into the aisles. order
was finally secured at 1:15 and for the
thirteenth time the clerk began the
calling of the roll.
Gossip about the floor was that the
popular prejudice against the thir-
teenth roll call would prevent any
material change in the vote on that
ballot.
Roll Call Begins.
1t also was said that the ''unlucky
Friday superstition last night pre-
vented shifts that might have made q
nomination possible. The roll call be-
gan with the same monotonous repe-
tition that marked last nights voting.
The rumored> shift in the vote of Ne
braska did not materialize. the record
remaining Clark 13; Wilson 3. There
had been some question about New
York on the 18th, but Charles r.
Murphy made his usual announcement
of go for Clark. Wilson took one from
Underwood in North Carolina and
two from Clark in Ohio.
The result of the 18th ballot was:
Clark 554; Wilson $50 II Underwood
115 X f; Harmon 20; Marshall 80; Foss
2, Bryan 1.
This showed a gain of for Clark.
Wilson gained 21h and Underwood
lost III. Foss was put on the roll
with two votes. Kern received no
fore the result of the 18th ballot was
announced Bryan appeared on the plat
form. He talked to Chairman James
for q moment and then resumed his
seat in the Nebraska section. A cheer
swept the hall from the time he left
his seat until he returned to 1t.
At 1:40 the roll call was begun for
the 14th time. During the 14th ball
lot, Chairman James surrendered the
gavel to VIM. Sulzer of New York.
and went to the floor. He conferred
with Senator Stone of the Clark forces
and then hurried about visiting the
delegations.

Previous DeadIocls.
Since 1868, when it required TWEEN
ty-two ballots to select a Democratic
nominee for president, there has new
er been deadlock to equal the situa-
ton at Baltimore. In 1896, Bryan,
who, previous to the convention, was
not regarded as a candidate. received
the nomination after five ballots had
been taken. Since then it has requir-
ed only one ballot to name the Demo-
cratic choice.
Prior to 1868 deadlocks were the
rule rather than the exception. AS
early as 1874, the second Democratic
convention in history, the delegates
failed to agree without a prolonged
wrangle, finally naming James K.
Polk of Tennessee on the ninth ballot.
1t required 49 ballots to select Frank
lin Pierce of New Ham pshire from the
presidential aspirants who swarmed
the convention of 1852 at Baltim ore.
Seventeen ballots were taken before
James Buchanan was named by the
Democratic convention at Philadel-
phia in 1856.
The longest deadlock in history oc-
CURED in the Democratic national
convention at Charleston, South Caro-
lima, in 1860. The first ballot gave the
candidates the following standing:
Douglas, 145; Hunter, AZ; Guthrie, As;
Johnson, IL; Dickinson, Z; Lane, g.;
jefferson Davis, 1; Toucey, L; Pierce,
l. When the fifty-seventh ballot was
reached Douglas had ISL; Guthrie,
65; Hunter, 16; Lane, IA; Dickinson,
4; Davis, l. The convention adjourn
ed to meet later in Baltimore, where
Douglas was nominated on the first
ballot. An anti-Douglas convention
met in Baltimore and nominated
Breckenridge without opposition.

MAY BREAK A RECORD.
With a Majority Always
Has Been Nominated Before.

Baltimore June 29.-Twelve bal
lots for president had been taken with
out a choice when the Democratic ma
tional convention re-assembled after
the early morning adjournment to go
on with the voting.
Unless the conferences which pre-
ceded the afternoon session should
prove to have been more productive Of
results than those which had gone be
fore, the existing deadlock may be
indefinitely prolonged, causing the
convention to remain in session over
another week. But the delegates are
nearly worn out and they are anxious
to go home. In this fact lay the hope
that the predicted break might occur
early enough today to permit nom
nation for president to be made with
sufficient time left to name a vice
president and adopt the platform be-
fore midnight.
Never in the history of the Demo-
cratic party has a candidate for pres
ident under the two-thirds rule who
has received majority of votes in the
convention been denied the nomina-
ton. Champ Clark received a major
ity on the tenth ballot last night when
New York's solid ninety was thrown
his way. Should he fail now to get
the nomination, precedent will have
been upset.
1t was expected before the reconven-
ing of the body that a crisis in the
situation would be reached on the next
two or three ballots. Leaders who
profess to know have asserted that the
speaker could not hold the New York
vote much longer unless he should
make substantial gains. Instead of
going ahead, Mr.. Clark has been slip
ping back inch by inch since the tenth
ballot.
Underwood was the next candidate
it was reported, who would be given
a chance at the New York vote once
Clark was abandoned Wilson's
friends maintained that eventually the
tide of votes would turn in his favor
and that the party would rally around
the New jersey governor as its stand-
ard bearer. The Wilson forces have
held together well during all the ball
1oting.

nomination.

Chairman James. when asked about
the report, said he had talked along
the line indicated but that he felt sure
a nomination would be given to Clark
in view of the majority vote received
by him. He said that if Wilson or
any other man should at some time re-
ceive a majority and fail of nomina-
ton then it might be necessary to
change the rules and that the conven-
tion had the power to do so.
Under the guise of explaining
change of vote in the Nebraska delega-
tion. w. j. Bryan got another hearing
in the Democratic national convention
and again threw the delegates and
spectators into a disorder1y uproar
Bryan, who under primary instruction
had been voting for Champ Clark, an
nounced that he would not vote for
him again while New York was in
cludeG in the Clark column. He
changed his vote to Woodrow Wilson,
but defiantly declared he would change
again if Mr.. Murphy anI "the Ryan
Belmont Morgan crowd should vote
for Wilson.
Bryan was assafled from the floor
by many delegates who demanded that
his speech be stopped ard by others
who demanded to know if he would
support the nominee. Bryan said he
expected to do so. but he also ex-
pected the convention to nominate a
man without the support "of the in
terests."
Bryan Calls for a Poll.
During the progress of the fourteenth
roll call the most exciting feature of
the day was enacted
When Nebraska was reached Bryan
demanded a poll of the delegation. His

y ask for an opportunity to explain
my vote" said Bryan amid a tumult of
disorder
Vote" shouted the delegates. Bryan
standing on his chair with one hand
resting on the Nebraska standard gazed
over the crowd. He swung a big palm
leaf fan as the tumult continued.
For what purpose does the gentle
man rise?'' demanded Sulzer from the
chair. LAS long began Bryan and
a wave of noise overwhelmed him.
Senator Stone. of Missouri, made an
effort to secure unanimous consent that
Bryan be allowed to make a statement,

Baltimore. June 29.-The Demo-
cratic national convention was again
in session this afternoon trying to
break the deadlock on the nomination
of a presidential candidate. Imme-
diately after convening the thirteenth
ballot was taken. 1t seemed to be
generally accepted that a choice under
the two-thirds rule, was a long way
of
1t was reported Chairman James
during the night, from the platform,
advocated the abrogation of this rule.
Senator Lea. floor leader of the pro-
gressives, asserted that nomination
would mean nothing unless made by
two-thirds of the delegates and that
1t would require a two-thirds vote to
suspend the rules to permit majority

HAYES REPORTS ON THE
CONDITION OF MINERS
Vice President of United Mine work.
ers Reports on the Situation
In Mining Fields
Associated press special

Associated Press Special
Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 10
Until coal mine owners become
more enlightened and end theil
campaign against the growth of the
United Mine Workers of America,
they will continue to injure their
own business and pay out vast sums
to detectives and inscriptions poll
ticians for protection from the
imaginary evil, said Vice President
Frank J, Hayes Of the miners union
in his report to its international
convention today.
I'VE find in Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Tonnes
see and Alabama" reported Mr..
Hayes, approximately 100000
mine workers, the vast majority of
whom are unorganized and utterly
helpless in meeting the encroach-
ments of organized wealth 1t is IN
teresting to note that considerable
of operators in these unor-
gained states seem to be laboring
under the delusion that the estab-
lishment of the organization in their
respective fields means the ruina-
ton of their properties and the en-
forced idleness of their mines, that
it is a conspiracy engineered by
northern miners to retard the legiti-
mate growth of their trade, and
probably, until we are successful III
our efforts to organize these fields,
or until they become more enlight-
ened, they will continue to pay out
vast sums of money each year to
guards, detectives, and INSCRIPTIONS
politicians for protection from this
imaginary evil
"In dealing with this proposition
We have made it clear to both sides
The Waxahachie daily light. [volume] (Waxahachie, Tex.) 1894-current, 1912-01-16

that it is not our intention to union
ice these fields for the purpose of
strangling competition with the op-
orators in the northern states, nor
to establish prohibitive wages and
conditions, viewed from compet1ti-
tive standpoint, that will keep
their product out of its most favor
able market. Every mining district
in the country has a natural market
and an inherent right to the name,
and we are well aware of the peeu-
liar, geographical location of those
particular fields, and in dealing
with this complex problem we fully
realize that we are face to face with
a condition and not theory, and
must meet it with reason and intel
ligence, and with the sincere, desire
to be constructive and not destrue-
tive, to build up and not to tear
down, until, at least. in the eyolu-
ton of things, now being fastened
by intelligent, world wide discon-
tent, universal cooperation shall
supplant the present inefficient sys-
tenn of competition, with all its
waste, brutality and utter disregard
for the higher and nobler phases OF
our common life"
Describing a trip to Mexico with
Mother" Jones, in October last,
and an interview with President Ma
dero on behalf of the Mexican min
ers, Mr.. Hayes said
I'VE explained to President Ma
dero the purpose of our movement
and that our object was to raise the
standard of living among the Mexi-
: can miners, who are veritable slaves
today, all of which met with his ap-
: prevail and support. He related some
of his own experiences in the recent
revolution, which deposed the ty-
rant, Diaz, and said he was at all
times anxious for his people, espec-
tally the Mexican poems. to enjoy
| higher standard of life, agreeing
with our view that such state of
affairs could only be brought about
by agitation, organization and edu-
cation. If he stands by these beliefs,
as we will be in position in the
next few years to effectively deal
with the Mexican problem"
In presenting his financial report
to the convention of the United
Mine Workers of America today.
Secretary Edwin Perry
called attention to the fact that
while on April /, last, 1900 coal
miners were on strike, requiring an
expenditure for aid of 100000
week, the only strikes now in prog
ress are in Colorado and at few
mines in Tennessee and Missouri.
For the last year the secretary re
ported that income was in excess OF
disbursements $36,422, and added,
in this connection, let me say that
have done all in my power to min
imize the cost of maintaining the
organization and the several strikes
In progress consistent with the dig
nifty of the organization and the
rights of the men who have so
bravely fought the battles for hum
an rights. In this work, | have re-
ceived the mutual cooperation to
the fullest extent from my assoei-
ates"
