the three following methods: BY plow-

STRONGER THAN EVER.

While there are many who predict
ed that Bryan would have no con-
trolling influence in the Baltimore
convention there are many in the
Democratic party who claimed that he
in a measure would control the ac-
tions of the party. The first vote on
temporary chairman was against him
and for Parker. Then the enemies
of Bryan in the party began to yell
loud and long, 81 told you So" Since
that vote Bryan has won practically
every fight he has made. He has com
manded the respect and attention of
the delegates as has no other man
who has spoken at Baltimore. He is
the greatest fighter in the Democratic
party and fights in the open at
times, while his enemies fight him
under cover. The center of opposition
to Bryan as ever, is in Wall street.
1t is not generally believed that
Bryan is making any effort to stam-
pede the convention to him, but there
are those who believe that the fight
made against him by the combination
under the leadership of Sullivan, Tag
CART and Murphy has made Bryan a
possible candidate in case there is
continued deadlock Bryan has re-
fused to accept any of the overtures
of peace from Tammany. He prefers
to fight them rather than to compro-
mise with them. The policy of the
party seems to be of more interest to
Bryan than the selection of a candi-
date.

ed until clock this afternoon with
cut making any nominations.
1t was night of intense excitemen,
and showed in unmistakable terms the
| power of William j. Bryan.
All Baltimore and Washington To-
day are discussing his speech, de-
nouncing by name Morgan, Ryan and
Belmont and the moneyed interests
and by the force of his logic COM
pelling Murphy of New York to cast
the entire vote of the Empire state
for the remarkable resolution.
Bryan was greater last night in his
| eloquence than he was when he made
the famous "cross of gold" speech at
the convention of 1896. The resolu-
ton he presented and forced its pas
sage, was as follows:
"Resolved that in this crisis in our
party's career and our country's his
| tory this convention sends greeting to
| the people of the United States and
assures them that the party of JEFF
ferson is still the party of the people.
| AS proof of our fidelity to the peo-
pie we hereby declare ourselves op-
posed to any candidate who is a rep
resentative of ]. p. Morgan, Thomas
f. Ryan, August Belmont or any other
member of the privilege hunting and
favor seeking class.
"Be it further resolved, that we
demand the WI hdrawal from this con-
vention of any delegate representing
the above named interests"
Bryan's speech on his resolution was
as follows:
"Tnis is an extraordinary resolu-
ton but extraordinary considerations
need extraordinary remedies. We are
now engaged in the conduct Of con-
vention that will place before this
country the Democratic nominee and
l assume that each delegate in this
convention is here because he wants
his nominee elected.
"And it is that we may ddvanre
the cauge Of our candidate that pre-
sent this resolution. There are ques-
| tions of which a court takes judicial
notice and there are subjects upon
which we can assume that the Ameri-
can people are informed and there is
rot a delegate in this convention who
does not know that an effort is be-
ing made right now to sell the Demo-
cratic party into bondage to the pred
atory interests of this country. It is
the most brazen and the most in
sclent and the most impudent attemp.
that has been made in the history Of
American politics to dominate a con-
vention and stifle the honest senti-
r1ent of a people and make the nom
inee the bondslave of the men who
exploit the people of this country.
Applause and cheers.)
81 need not tell you that ]. Pier
pont Morgan, Thomas F. Ryan and
August Belmont are three Of the men
who are connected with the great
money trust of this country, who arc
as despotic in their rule of the bust
ness of the country and as merciless
in their command of their states as
any man in the country
In this line he continued for half

BALTIMORE, June 27.-The second
real battle of the convention, fought
and won after four hours session
last night, was over "of whether the
unit rule shall prevail. There was a
marked difference of opinion in many
of the delegations and that ancient
custom of the Democratic party was
finally wiped out after a long debate
by vote of 565 1-2 to 1876 1-2.
The contest was waged over the de-
cision of the Ohio state convention
to instruct its entire delegation from
that state TO vote for Judson Harmon.
In the delegation were nineteen Will
son men, elected as district delegates,
with preferential instructions from
their several districts.
Ohio, however, is not the only state
affected, as Pennsylvania which is
largely for Wilson, will, under the
rulings of the convention, cast thirty
six votes for Clark after the first bal
lot when the primary obligations will
expire.
There was no attempt by the man.

BALTIMORE, June 27.-Before the
adjournment of the third days ses-
sion Of the Democratic national con-
vention that began at noon today the
name of the party standard bearer in
the presidential contest may be known.
Political wiseacres, familiar with
the situation, today were of the opin-
ion that the convention might continue
until choice is made, requiring a
session extending well into the night
or early in the morning.
Many Of the leaders thought it
probable, however, that recess would
follow the first or second ballot to
permit of conferences looking to the
elimination of some of the candidates.

BALTIMORE, June 27.-The dele
gates to the Democratic national con-
vention filed into the convention to-
day prepared for long and exciting
session and at 1925 Parker called
the convention to order. 1t is expect
ed to be the real day of the climax
end of long campaign waged by
the presidential aspirants and as they
come into the hall these delegates are
apparently as much at ease as ever
as to who would be the nominee.
The various boomers of the candi-
dates are ready to start demonstra-
tions and counter demonstrations and
it seems certain that the delays will
be such as to throw the actual bal
loting late into the evening or like
ly tomorrow.
All sorts of rumors are afloat as
to the results and combinations dur
''..g The forenoon but not one of these
seemed to have truthworthy founda-
ton.
The supporters of Woodrow Wilson
heartened by the so-called "Wilson-
Bryan" victory last night in the fight
for the abrogation of the unit rule in
binding all the members of a state
delegation, claiming that the New Jer-
sey man would sweep the convention
and secure the nomination. They ex-
pressed the hope that Bryan might be
induced to come out squarely for Will
son and felt that if this could be
brought about ultimate victory is GER
tain.
There is renewed talk of Bryan him
self as the nominee to.ay me
the so-talled conservatives say. that
so long as the naming Of a progress

as well to have Bryan lead the figh.

BALIlMORE, June Z6.-With the
high man in the Democratic race for
president 2S1 votes short of enough
to nominate, with only 1874 uninstruct-
ed votes from which to draw, the
Democratic national convention today
have in sight the hour when the next
leader Of the party will be named.
And when considering the 1874 unin-
structed votes are of many conflicting
views, so that the balance of power
may not be hurled en- bloc, the chance
Of the early nomination may be as
readily estimated in California as in
Baltimore.
Further pursuing the path of fact
that one may come by some idea of
the time when the final heat will be
run, let it be understood that nine
men may face the political starter
for seven of whom there are instruct
ed votes. For each there must come
carefully prepared nominating
speech that has been ready for lol
these many days. Likewise to the
increment of the oratorical wealth OF
the nation there must come the NAM
ing Of several men.
And still continuing the plus guam
tity in the matter of time there will
be demonstration for each of the
nominees just as long as the lusty
lunged followers of each respective
banner can make it. Experience has
shown that these demonstrations take
time and block progress, almost as
much as the actual making of speech.

Semi-weekly herald., 1912-07-01

In the meantime there will be much
studying of the figures on the test vote
and many conferences among the lead
ers. As was expected, Speaker Champ
Clark led all other candidates on the
first ballot. He received I40 1-2 votes
to 32i for Woodrow Wilson, his near
est rival. This, however, left the
] speaker 2S6 l-2 votes short of d nee
essary two-thirds. Governor .ludson
Harmon Of Ohio, aided by New York's
solid block of ninety votes, was third
with l4s. Representative Oscar w.
Underwood of Alabama received
lit 12 votes. William Jennings Bry-
an of Nebraska got one vote from
the Ohio delegation. Some of his
friends expected he would receive more
scattering votes, but the fact he did
not show any strength whatever on
the first ballot did not discourage
them. They still feel in the event of
a deadlock, which today seemed more
than probable, Mr.. Bryan might be
turned to again lead his party in the
presidential race.
Speaker Clark's vote was less than
his managers have been claiming for
him, but was about what the other
candidates had conceded to him.
BALTIMORE, June 27.-The first
thing before the convention this morn
ing was the report of the committee
on permanent organization and the
election Of permanent officers.
Senator Ollie James of Kentucky
is the unanimous choice of the COM
mttee for permanent chairman.
The minority report Of the COM
mittee ON credentials was preSented
at 1851 p. M, relative to the delegates
from South Dakota which were seated
by the national. committee. Ex-Gov-
ernor Cochrane of Virginia read the
minority report. He vigorously sup
ported the Clark contention that the
delegates from South Dakota should
have been instructed for Clark in
stead Of Governor Wilson.
The principal contest before the ere
dental committee was from the state
of Illinois, which was settled by the
contested delegates being seated.

noon that the nomination for presi-
dent will be started at 7:40 Baltimore
time, this evening.

This program will not vary much
