His Honor Without Stain

Old Philadelphians cherish many
anecdotes of the noted men in the
Quaker city in colonial days. One
Of these has significance that is
worthy Of consideration.
There was a famous grammar
school in Philadelphia to which the
boys of well-to-do parents were
sent to be trained in ''the human
tiles. " The examinations were Sc
we're. and the lads who failed felt
themselves somewhat disgraced in
was long Secretary Of Congress.
Charles Thompson was never,
perhaps, first in his class at school;
but among the good and noble men
who helped to form the republic,
he stood in the foremost rank as
man whose honor was stainless. He
the eyes of the whole town. Many
of the pupils secretly used transla-
tions, or were helped by scholarly
friends in their studies.
There is tradition that one boy,
Charles Thompson, refused to avail
himself of any help or dishonest
trick. He was slow to learn, and
timid. His classmates insisted
that he appeared at an unjust ad-
vantage for thse reasons at eXamin-
atoms, and urged him to use
"pOnieS' and cribs. "No, - he
said. 1T is pity if ! do not
learn Greek; but is is worse if |
learn to lie. "
He failed. and was sent down to
lower class for the next term.
The secret of culture is to learn, that
few points steadily reappear, alike in
the poverty of the obscurest farm, and
in the miscellany Of metropolitan life,
and that these few are alone to be re-
sarded,-the escape from all false ties /;
courage to be what we are, and love OF

Friday Nights Session.

Baltimore, Md. June 2S.-Starting
at o'clock this afternoon, with a
two and one-half hour recess be-
tween 7 and $3.50 o'clock, the dem
ocratic national convention balloted
far into the night in an effort to
select a standard bearer for 1912.
Ballot after ballot failed to yield
the necessary two-thirds. On these
ballots Speaker Champ Clark led,
with Woodrow Wilson second. The
rest of the convention vote was
divided between Judson Harmon, Os
car Underwood, Thomas r. Marshall
and other favorite sons, who receiv-
ed a lesser vote.

at 6 80 until $3.50, but on second roll
call the motion was defeated and the
balloting was continued.
The twenty second, twenty third
and twenty fourth ballots showed a
slight decrease in Clark vote, while
Wilson continued to gain.
Senator Stone of Missouri asked fol-
unanimous consent that after the
twenty seventh ballot, the candidate
receiving the lowest number of votes
should be dropped
On the twenty-sixth ballot, the vote
was as follows:
Clark 4671z, Wilson 405. Underwood
112Ls, Foss 4S, Marshall 80, Harmon
90, Bryan 1.
During the twenty sixth ballot when
Maryland, which had been solid for
Clark. demanded a POLL indicating
a possible split, a demonstration for
Wilson was started. The Maryland
poll showed Clark l2 Wilson 21h. alb
sent | V. During this ballot, a woman
tried to carry banner to the stage
and. when an assistant sergeant-at-
arms tried to stop her. there was a
fight between two men at the foot
of the stage.

Saturday Morning Session.

Baltimore, June ga sensation
al break in the New York delega-
ton gave that states ninety votes to
Champ Clark on the tenth ballot in
the democratic national convention
this morning, and carried the speak
er to a total of 500 out of the LOSS
delegates. but still left him 10 bal
lots short of the two thirds vote
necessary for choice. The ballot
ing was continued at an early hour
this morning with the Clark forces
outwardly confident and the Wilson
managers doggedly claiming that
the final break would come to the
New Jersey governor.
The Clark managers jubilantly
claimed that every democratic can
didate who ever reached a majority
in the convention always succeeded
in eventually getting the required
two-thirds.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1912-06-30

lock- the leaders in the democratic
party at 3:05 o'clock this morning
decided upon an adjournment until
o'clock in the afternoon in the
hope that some sort of an agreement
might be reached as to a presiden-
tial nominee. Many of the delegates
protested against the delay caused
by the adjournment, but apparently
there was no hope of settling the
nomination by conference on the
convention floor.
Champ Clark made a sensational
gain in the tenth, when New York's
solid block Of ninety votes went to
him. On this ballot Mr.. Clark's to-
tai reached high water mark of
556-a clear majority, but 10 votes
short of the necessary twoAthirds
TO nominate On the eleventh and
twelfth ballots Clark fell away tc
554 and $40.
Governor Woodrow Wilson held
his forces steadily together and dur
ng the night voting there were but
slight fluctuations in his totals.
Votes lost in some delegations were
made up in others.

Saturday Session.

Baltimore, Md, June 29.-An early
break in the lineup of the delegates
to permit the nomination of presi-
dent before midnight was hoped for
as the fifth day of the great demo-
cratic convention opened today. The
delegates were worn out at three this
morning when the adjournment was
taken until this afternoon. Some pre-
dicted q crisis on the ballots of this
afternoon, while others held that a
deadlock might continue over for an
other week.
\ Chairman Mack, before the conven-
ton met this afternoon. called a
meeting of the national committee for
,n organized effort to break the dead
lock. The leaders of all the camps
conferred with the committee, each
hoping to gain an advantage for their
candidate. While these conferences
were being held, it was reported that
New Yorks support of Clark would
continue for total of ten ballots,
which caused the leaders of other
camps to remain firm hoping that af-
ter the nineteenth ballot. New York
would desert Clark.
The convention was called to order
at :06 with the hall crowded. There
was prevailing talk on the floor of
the convention at that time that sew
eral breaks were imminent and that an
early decisive ballot was likely.
The thirteenth ballot, the first TAX
en- after the convention opened this
afternoon. also the fourteenth, showed
little change from the twelfth
Bryan took the floor to explain his
vote in Nebraska in the fourteenth
ballot He said: AS long as New
York votes for Clark, | withdraw my
vote from him." This put the con-
yention in an uproar. Continuing Bry-
an said that New Yorks vote repre-
sented the wishes of one man, Charles
T.. Murphy. BRYAN said he and his
associates in Nebraska were unwilling
to accept any man receiving Murphy's
aid. Shouts of approval constantly in
terrupted Bryan. Il shall not be
party to the nomination of any man.
declared Bryan, "who is not free to
carry out the -Morgan-Ryan Bel
mont resolution Bryan closed his
speech with the announcement that
his vote was for Wilson. Cheer after
cheer reeled from the floor and gal
lery, while some Kisses We're heard.
The fifteenth and sixteenth ballots
showed little change. A poll of the
Oklahoma delegates showed no
change in the vote of that state, being
10 for Clark. 10 for Wilson. The sew
enteentn, eighteenth and nineteenth
ballots also showed but slight change.
On the twentieth ballot, Kansas cast
twenty for Wilson. Ohio's 90 Harmon
votes went to Underwood on the
twentieth ballot. Idaho also switched
six of ner eight votes from Clark to
Wilson on this ballot. 1t was at first
reported that Ohio's 80 Harmon votes
had gone to Underwood on his'ballot,
but it was later found to be untrue.
While the twenty first ballot was
ba,ng taken. some of the leaders pre-
dic:ed the nomination of Senator
Kern of Indiana before six more bal
lots.
