BRYAN CALLED MARRIOTT
BY NEW YORKER
VitrioIic Speaker Ranks Nebraskan
With Morgan, Belmont and Ryan
Then Votes for Wilson.

Baltimore, July John B. Stanch-
field, New York delegate, spoke from
the platform explaining his vote and
championing New York as a decisive
factor in Democracy.
Stanchfield declared that the integ,
rity of New York delegates had been
impugned and insulted and New York
had a right to be heard.
Stanchfield denounced Bryan as
that money-grabbing, favor-hunting,
publicity hunting marplot from Nebras-
ka."
Stanchfield's bitter Characterization
of Bryan was received with cheers
mingled with some Kisses. The speak.
er maintained that the New York del
egation was the ablest ever sent to
a national convention.
"No man branded with Organism can
come within half a million Of carrying
New York" exclaimed Stanchfield,
amid cheers.
Stanchfield bitterly attacked Bryan
as one of the plutocrats whose name
should be linked with Morgan, Bel
mont and Ryan. ANY man who had
been writing for pay from the Chicago
Republican convention should be ex-
PEELED from this convention" he said
"Mr. Bryan is opposed to any can
didate except Mr.. Bryan"

"RRYAN TRAITOR TO NE AND
TO THE PARTY"--cLARK
Calls Nebraskan's Explanation Of Vote
Outrageous Asperslon on Demo-
cratic Party and on Me-"

Baltimore, June 30 After his con.
ference with Mr.. Hearst, Senator
Stone, David r. Francis and others,
Speaker Clark issued the following
statement:
To-day in the national convention
an outrageous aspersion was cast upon
me and through me upon the Demo
cratic party by one who of all men
ought to be the last to besmudge or
betray his friends, or his party. So
far as / am personally concerned it is
enough to say that the charge which
reflects upon my personal or party
integrity is utterly and absolutely
false. might afford to forget myself,
but I am the. choice of the Demo-
Garlic majority IF the house of repre-
sentatives the 4 hiking official Demo
crat in public life. l cannot be false
or corrupt without reflecting upon my
party in the most serious way.
ANY man who would enter into an
alliance with any selfish interest or
privileged class of this country to gain
the nomination for the presidency Is
unworthy of the presidency and Of the
speakership of the house. If 1 have
not entered into such an alliance, then
the Democrat, however distinguished,
who wantonly charges me with the
act is traitor to the Democratic party
and to his protested friendship to me.
am not here to plead for a nomina-
ton or to attempt to influence any
mans political action. Let every man
proceed in this convention according
to his convictions and the expressed
will of his constituents. l ask no undue
consideration from any man, be he
friend or foe, but demand exact JUS
tice from every Democrat either in this
convention or throughout the nation.
With William ]. Bryan and his charge
made in the convention today the is
sue is proof or retraction. l shall ex-
.pect him to meet that issue.
(Signed) CHAMP CLARK"
At the hour the statement was is
sued, 1:40 a. M, Mr.. Bryan had retir-
ed for the night. leaving word that he
was not to be disturbed.

BREAKS ALL REcRps FOR
TIME OF DEADLOCK.
DELEGATES TIRED AND PEEWSH
Little Change in Votes All Day Mon
day-Roll Call Became Mechanical
While Fatleued Candidates
Sought Vainly to Adjourn
Out at 12:43.

Baltimore, July 2.-The deadlock In
the Democratic national convention
over a presidential nomination seemed
more complicated than ever when ad.
lournment was taken at 12:43 this
morning until noon today. Woodrow
Wilson had made steady gains during
Mondays balloting until he reached a
high-water mark of 501I2 votes on the
thirty-nlnth ballot. He remained sta
tionary on the fortieth ballot and then
began to lose ground. The last bal
lot was the forty-second, when Cover
nor Wilson polIed 494 votes.
Speaker Champ Clark reached the
lowest ebb of his candidacy on the bal
lot where Wilson reached a crest. He
went down to 422 votes at that time,
but Immediately began to pick up, and
had gone to 43o when adjournment
was taken.
, The speaker came over to Baltimore
during the evening and was a guest at
the home of Mayor Preston, near Con-
Vention hail.. He returned to WASH
Ington shortly before midnight.

ward Revision Of the Tariff,
They Claim.

Baltimore, Notwithstanding with
Democratic progressivism, the plat
form on which the Democratic party
will stand was completed late today
by the committee on resolutions and
awaits only the approval of the pres-l
Dental nominee to be presented to the
convention.
The document is the result of 4s
hours work by the committee 1t is
almost entirely new, although the rec
concentrations of New York were fol
lowed in many particulars.
The document covers every subject
of Importance which has been the sub
ject of party discussion in four years.
Members of the committee express
general satisfaction with the planks.
and William J. Bryan who took an
active part in framing them, predicted
that it would arouse the disapproval
of less than a dozen members of the
convention.
Under the new rule, the platform
will not be presented to the convention
until after the nomination of the can
didates.
Planks of the Democratic platform
summarized are:
Reaffirms party's devotion to the
principles of Democratic government
as formulated by Jefferson.
Declares for tariff for revenue
only; denounces the high Republican
tariff as the principal cause of the
unequal distribution of wealth.
Faovrs immediate downward re-
vision of present duties, especially
upon necessaries of life. Also favors
gradual reduction so as not to inter
fere with or destroy legitimate in
dustries. Denounces President Taft for
vetoing tariff bills of last congress.
Condemns Republican party "for
failure to redeem it's promises of 1908
for downward revision"
Takes issue with the Republican

ing, contending it is largely due to
high tariff laws.
Favors vigorous enforcement OF the
criminal features of the antitrust law.
Demands such additional legislation as
may be necessary to crush private mo-
nopoly. Favors prohibition Of holding
companies, interlocking directors,
stock watering, etc.
Condemns Republican administration
for Compromising with Standard Oil
company and tobacco trust"
Denounces as "usurpation" the ef-
forts of Republicans to deprive states
of their rights and to enlarge powers
of the federal government
There is" says the platform, mo
twilight zone between the nation and
the state in which exploiting interests
can take refuge from both"
Urges peopel to support proposed
constitutional amendments pending in
various state legislatures, providing
for an income tax and election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people. AS justification OF the
demands of the party for publicity Of
campaign expenditures, attention is di-
rected ITO the enormous expenditure
Of money in behalf Of the president

IcIsm, Says Colonel Bryan.

Baltimore, July 1.-Mr. Bryan re-
1hed last night to Speaker Champ
Clark's demand that the Nebraskan
prove or retract the general charge
made in convention that the Clark
forces had allied themselves with the
so-called privileged classes. In his
statement Mr.. Bryan said:
have received notice by publica-
ton only. The only criticism have
made against Mr.. Clark Is not that he
has acted wrongfully, but that he has
failed to act. l may oyer-estimate the
Importance of the presidential orrice
but | have felt that an aspirant for
that office ought to manage his own
campaign and not allow people to do
things for him without his direct and
specific authority.
The papers announced that Mr.
Clark was neutral between Mr.. Parker
and myself in the temporary chair
manship fight and that he informed
his supporters to vote as they pleased.
II that contest were purely a question
between Judge Parker and myself, as
individuals, his refusal to take part
would not be material, although. he
never sent out piece Of literature OF
had speech made in his behalf that
did not represent him as my special
champion for sixteen years. II he dis
ributed any literature in which hy
associated his name with Parker's.
shall be glad to withdraw this state
ment upon inspection Of the litera-
ture.
But the contest between Judge
Parker and myself was not personal
contest and everybody except Mr..
Clark knew this. It was between
progressive Democracy on the one side
and reactionary Democracy on the
other. and / contend that in such a
contest 1t was Mr.. Clark's duty to take
one side or the other, IL in his judy
ment there Is any material difference
between the two kinds of Democracy,
If he insists that there is NO diffoT
ence. he has no right to complain of
criticism at the hands Of those who
believe that there is vital differ
ence,
Il have tried to advise Mr.. Clark,
in his own interest, as believe, as
well as in the interest Of the party,
and 1t Is source Of great disappoint-
ment to me that he should have listen
ed to personal enemies of mine more
than he has to me-
I'm using the word disappointment
I do not use it in a personal sense,
for / have no desire to impose my
advice upon him; but feel that 1t is
not presumption for me to assume that !,
l am better acquainted with the SEN
timent of the people than those who
have had his ear, and am sure that
l speak for larger number.
Il am sure, too, that / am as dis
interested as those upon whose coun-
sci he relies, for l have no interest in
the subject except my interest in the
principles and policies which can be
advanced through the election of
Democratic president.
II believe. Mr.. Clark is right at
heart, but during the last few days he
has been misled and has failed to take

sented to throw his influence entirely

A weary, bedraggled, peevish aggre-
gate of delegates and alternates drift
ed into the convention hall last night
with a long, dreary night session in
prospect. They confronted the same
monotonous grind of Baltimore that
had continued from last Friday morn
ing, when the first vote had developed
the deadlock on a presidential nominal
ton was cast after an all-night session.
Almost a full week of controversy
between rival factions had sorely tried
the patience and tempers of the dele
gates and the crowd which gathered
was ordinarily an irritable and excit-
able one. The tensity of the situation
had shown itself in a semi-riot on the
floor during the afternoon when Will
lam Jennings Bryan found himself in
the midst of half score of fist fights.
Police were warned to exert extraordi-
nary vigilance in the future. The
slow rise and fall of the vote of the
favorite candidates throughout the
day had increased the steadily grow
ing bitterness of the past week and
last night match of offense, touched
to the eXciteemntS would have set the
entire convention ablaze.
1t was on this situation that many
leaders based hopes of final vote and
a nomination before the night was
over. They argued that the weary del
egates, tried by week of work, would
break from the hard and fast lines that
have been holding and throw enough
votes to one of the candidates to end
the agony of suspense. Others CON
tended that the situation made impos-
sible an agreeemnt on any one of the
candidates now before the convention
They pointed to today's PHYSICAL clash
between the Clark and Wilson forces
as an evidence that the feeling was
so bitter that neither would allow
enough votes to go to the other to NOM
mate.

The Cleanliness of Animals.

Man seems to be the only animal
whose food soils him, making neces-
sary much washing and shieldlike bibS
and napkins. Moles living in the earth
and eating Shiny worms are yet as
clean as seals or fishes. whose lives are
one perpetual wash. The squirrels in
these resiny woods keep themselves
clean in some mysterious way; not a
hair is sticky, though they handle the
gummy cones and glide about appar-
emily without care. The birds. too. are
clean, though they seem to make a
good deal of fuss washing and clean

THE PARTHENoN.
Il Was the Most Beautiful Edifies
Ever Erected by Man.

The Parthenon ON the AcropOlis at
Athens. the most beautiful edifice ever
erected by the hand of man, was
wrecked by Venetian bomb on Sept.
&c. 1857.
When the sun rose on the morning of
that evil day the finest building on
the finest site in the world stood ar
rayed in all its glory. just as it did
when Pericles received it from the
hands of its, divine architects and
builders, just as it did when Plato and
Socrates gazed with wonder upon its
simple majesty. and when that days
sun went down the glorious temple was
a wreck. its majesty disnantled. its
beauty marred forever.
This wonderful building, even in its
ruins. has charmed the world for go
ing on three centuries, and while those
ruins endure they will continue their
hold upon the artistic sense Of man
kind.
The master artists of the nations
have been trying for more than 200
years to make something that would
look like the Parthenon. but so far
their efforts have been in vain. and the
dismantled pile on the Acropolis still
wears the crown of architectural ex-
cellence.
This famous building, made of the
finest Pentelic marble. IS 22S feet in
length by 101 feet in width. with
height at the apex of the pediment Of
sixty-five feet. Its cost was $S.250,0O0,
reckoned in present day values. The
renowned frieze of the Parthenon ran
along the top of the wall forty feet
from the ground. 1t was three and
half feet in height and 500 feet in
length and represented the great Pan
athenic procession, which was held
every five years in honor Of Athena,
the protecting goddess of the city.
For 1000 years this glorious temple
stood there on the Acropolis as perfect
as it was when Phidias completed it
nearly 500 years before the birth of
Christ, and it would have been stand
ing just as complete today but for that
rascally Venetian shell. In the year
mentioned above Athens. still in the
possession of the Turks, was besieged
by the Ve1etians, and a bomb from
one of their guns falling through the
roof of the Parthenon, in which the
Turks had stored lot of powder. loft
it the ruin it has ever since remained.

Putting up Sausage TO Keep

This RECEIPT has been sent in by
a southern sister, and she asked
that you try it. IF you wish to
have sausage for next summers
eating, here is a safe way to put
it up. Grind the meat fine, and
to fifteen pounds of the meet add
one cupfull of salt, four level
tablespoonful of ground black
pepper. Mix this we'll with the
hands, make into cakes and fry
nearly done. Place the fried cakes
where they will get cold-this
is important. After they are cold
pack them in a tin can closely,
and pour the surplus lard over
tie packed cakes, and if there is
not enough lard to cover the
sausage half an inch, melt more.
Considerable of the lard will drain
into the sausage, so plenty of well
melted lard must be used. Cover
the tin can close and keep in a
cool place. when you open the
can next summer, scrape the lard
away so you can get out what
you want, taking from the top
layer, then press it back carefully
so as to exclude the air, doing
this every time the can is opened.
Small cans should be used. No
sage or other seasoning is used..'

COVERED DISHES.
First Used In the Dark Ages to Guard
Food From Poison.

FIRST USED In the Dark ages to Ouaro
Food From Poison.
From the days when our ancestors
took their food in their hands and ate
it with as little ceremony as a dog
gnaws a bone to the present time of
elaborate dinners is long step, but a
gradual one. 1t was a number of CEN
turtles before dishes of any kind were
used, and knives aud forks as adjuncts
to eating are later still. The fear Of
poison which haunted the mind of
every person Of quality during the mid
die ages gave rise to certain curious
customs and even to certain superSti-
tons. When dishes are now served
covered. it is understood that it is mere
ly for the purpose Of keeping them
warm. This was not however, the
principal reason why they were serv-
ed covered during the dark ages. 1t
was the fear that poison might be in
troduced into them surreptitiously be-
tween the kitchen and the table where
they were to be served to the kings
or the lords or even to persons of infe-
rior rank.
The covers were not removed till the
master of the house had taken his
place. All dishes afterward served
were brought on the table in the same
manner. 1t was the custom originally
when the dishes were uncovered for
some of the servants to first partake
of them, but this custom was after
ward in part replaced by the servants
touching the food with one of several
objects which were regarded as infalli-
bic preservatives against poison.
