CLARK FALLS SHORT
ON FIRST BALLOT
Any Attempt TO Stampede for Bryan
VIII Meet Stubborn Resistance
ofSome Southern States.


Baltimore, Md, June 2S.-The vote
for Champ Clark, on the first ballot
was much less than that claimed for
him by his managers, but was about
the number conceded to him by the
friends Of Governor Wilson. The sup.
porters Of the speaker said that he
would gain steadily with each ballot
The Wilson people claim that many Of
the delegates bound to Clark for the
first ballot have expressed their deter.
mination to switch on the second ball
lot, Wilson being the choice of these
delegates on the next and succeeding
ballots. They expect to make large
gains by these changes. The fact that
Bryan got only one vote did not dis
courage his friends, who still feel that
in the event OF a deadlock today, which
seems imminent, Bryan might be the
nominee
Any attempt at stampede for the
Nebraskan will meet with the stubborn
resistance of some of the delegations
from southern states, instructed for
Underwood and held subject to his re-
lease and from the conservative ele-
ment, including many of the so-called
Clark states. In addition to the re
newed talk of Bryan's nomination the
discussion of dark horse was re-
vived Most of the delegates, however.
seem content to let the fight run along
through six or seven ballots before
trying to reach am agreement between
the opposing forces.
An inquiry as to whether he would
support reactionary candidate seem
ed to nettle Mr.. Bryan and he gave no
definite answer.
MIR. Bryan, 1t has been suggested
that conditions might arise that would
cause you to bolt"
I don't reply to every report that
is started about me-" he answered, Il
don't think any man has the right to
ask me that question A mans course
of action must be determined as the
circumstances arise"
Among the possibilities for the vice.
presidential nomination are: Cover
nor Burke, Of North Dakota; William
Sulzer, of New York: Mayor Newton,
of Cleveland; Senator O'Gorman; Rep
.resentative William Redfield, Mayor
James Preston, Of Baltimore, and Rep
resentatiye Henry, of Texas. Under
wood and Marshall, who are still in
the presidential race are mentioned
for second place.

SPEECH OF BRYAN

From ENHANCEMENT With Nor
gan-Ryan Crowd.

Baltimore, June 28.-Bryans speech
in support OF his resolution was as
follows:
"This is an extraordinry resolution
but extraordinary conditions need ex-
traordinary remedies. We are now
engaged in the conduct of a conven-
tion that will place before this coun-
try the democratic nominee and as

interests Of this country. 1t is the

Parties who would enter into nego-
tiations wi.a the state for the leasing
Of any portion of the river beds must
first grant the right of the state to the
ownership Of these beds. This stipula-
ton was suggested as an amendment
to the report which was made by the
committee. The state would not
think of entering into negotiations
with anyone who might deny its title
TO the river beds" Mr. Bryan said.
The plan was not discussed at great
length but the members of the board
agreed that it is the most feasible of
any that have been suggested.

The negroes of this section have as

eastern Oklahoma, while pretending to
be the friend of the race, used it for
the advancement of the interests of
the politicians and then threw it down
when the negroes asked for their re-
waids. The percentage of the negro
