As the board pays teachers by

FIFTH REGIMENT ARMORY,
BALTIMORE. Md, June 27. =
"The fight is already half won.
There Is nothing to say abou,
what is left. There have been
and there will be things happen
ing, not only every day, but every
hour"
Surrounded by a crowd that
jammed his rooms to suffocation,
William J. Bryan today uttered
the above defiant declaration
when asked to outline his plans
for continuing the fight on the
Murphy-Taggart-Sullivan combin-
alton of conservatives VINO
brought about his defeat for the
temporary Craftsmanship of the
democratic national convention.
He declared that he intended
fighting throughout the eonven-
ton, not only for the progressive
platform, but for the progressive
candidates that he declared the
democracy of the country was ex-
pecting to have named.
A determined effort was mace
today blythe Wilson men to ge,
Bryan to come out openly for
their candidate. He refused. and
called attention to the fact that
he Is instructed by the Nebraska
democracy to vote for the nomin-
alton of Speaker Champ Clark.
But that there Is an under
standing between the Wilson
leaders and the Nebraskan Is GER
tain.
Bryan was in earnest conversa-
ton for some time today with
Herman Ridder of New York,
John e. Lamb of Indiana, Sena-
tor Gore of Oklahoma, Senator
Luke Lea of Tennessee, Senator
Culberson of Texas and a number
of others before going to the
meeting of the subcommittee on
resolutions.
Ridder was reported to have
tried to feel the commoner OUT
on the question of candidates but
did not receive much information.
Il have not discussed candi-
dates with anybody" was Bryan g
comment today upon a rumor that
he would "bolt" the convention
if neither Wilson or Kern is NOM
mated.
Bryan is throwing cold water
on all "bolt" talk and indus
triously preaching harmony.

pete in prices with cheap ad-
vertising dentists, but we do
claim that In our offices you
cam get the truth about your
tooth troubles and have them
