lustrate before election that courtesy and dignity which shouli character ize a president Among the three candidates of the two great parties he stands in an honorable minority in this respect. Theodore Roosevelt has been the most emphatic in the de- nunciation of the old party leaders. William H. Taft, protesting that it hurt him deeply ani he would much prefer to follow his own previous ex- ample has reluctantly emulated his example. Gov. Wilson alone has spok en of his competitors in the race as one gentleman speaks of another. When he had an opportunity to pay his respects to President Taft he tooE pleasure in doing so.
 With Wilson's courtesy goes his magnamimity. Never was there a cam. paign in which ean'lidsres were more vulnerable to the shafts of criticism than are both Roosevelt and Taft to- day Their alliance witE Big Busi- ness, with the special benefciarIes ot the tariff and with bosses without conscience and without truth would furnish material for attacks which might be renewed daily with no fear Of lack of ammunition. BHt from this kind of fighting Goverdnor Wilson steadfastly refrains.
 It is not lack Of courage or of the instinct that finds the weak joints in the armor of an opponent. It is sim ply that he is absorbed in larger things than making his opponents per. sonally ridiculous in the public eye.
 As Woodrow Wilson sees it, the sig, nificant thing in the present situation is not that William H. Taft has con- sented to certain things in the rela. ton of business to politics, nor that

Baltimore. June 9.-Never was the
contrast between the hours Of and S

convention broke up this morning, as
compared with the orgy Of prostrations
and exhaustion which had laid every
one low twenty hours before. Last
night every one seemed to have got

were the order OF the night, still there
was none OF that frlghtfully tired feel
ing which will make Thursday nights

orable as long as the convention lasts.
AS matter of fact, a great many
more women stayed throughout last
nights session than on the night be-
fore. Outside OF the two big demOnstra-
tions, the, one for Clark and then the
larger and more obstreperOus one for
Wilson, the night was not nearly so up
roarious as its predecessor. The commit
tee Of arrangements had taken precious
good care that there should be no sa-

"Oh, 1t Is So Funny" Laughed
the Leader of the Third

Oyster Bay. June 29.-The deadlock IN
the Baltimore convention over Clark and
Wilson to-day brought faint hope to Col
Roosevelt that, after all. he nay find TWO
reactionaries TO run against for the Presi-
denCy.
They do not seem to get very far there
in Baltimore" observed Roosevelt when
told that the two leaders were showing
about the same strength relatively as On
the first day Of baIIotlng.
Tt may be-" he said, that we shall
have a reactIonary on the Democrats
side along with Mr.. Taft for the Repub-
lican party. Even We may have four
candidates or five. Who can tell? It's

TAFT'S VBTOBS
CAUSE OF WORRY
BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

Baltimore, June SO.-Democratic Con-
gressmen are discussing with other
party leaders at the convention the
course Democrats in Congress ought to
pursue in reconsidering the two apprO-
priation bills vetoed by President Taft.
Re-enaCtment Of the bills without the
provisions the President found so objec-
| tiOnable as to make him veto the big
appropriation measures seems to meet
with most favor among the party coun-
selors.
The passage Of the army and legisla-
tive, executive and judicial appropria-
tion bills, upon which the veto was put
has placed the Democrats on record for
the changes therein provided from the
present system. II is pointed out, these
changes, which are the abolition Of the
Commerce Court and some radical reor-
ganizations OF the army, the Democrats
in Congress have done all they can to
accomplish.
To enter a contest with the President
over the approval OF the bills would be
more or less a trial Of patience, persist
ence and politics a Democratic Con-
gressman asserted tonight, and during
the trial the government might be en-
barrassed. II the Democrats, therefore
continued to re-enact the two appropria-
priation bills as they were originally
passed, President Taft would continue TO
veto. he argued.
II think President Taft feels he would
have nothing to lose by continuing 10
veto the bills said the CONGRESSMAN.
In the present condition Of his party
and ours, he probably feels his campaign
viii not be affected either way by his
vetoes.
''on the other hand. If we persisted in
passing the bills In such form that they
would not have executive approval we
might be placed In an awkward posi-
ton -.

performances OF the Clark people-an
actual fight on the steps leading to the
! speakers stand occurred.
Miss Gladys Hogan. daughter OF Rob-
| ert 6. Hogan. OF Baltimore. was the
| heroine OF the evening. At least she
was in the thickest OF the confusion.
In her hands she bore the California
banner. The sergeant-at-arms and
| some antl-CIark delegates tried to pre-
vent the progress. A blow was struck
| at one Of the men. For a second the
conflict was lively. Then the banner
and Miss Hogan retired.
She went TO the Missouri delegation
seats, where she held a little reception
to the tune OF shouts and yells.
It was 1886 when the convention
settled down to business again. The
demonstration had lasted twenty-four
minutes
After a while. when the hackers Of
the different candidates were satisfied
with the yelling match: after the pO-
lice had been directed to clear the
aisles and make the gentlemen sit
down. and after the galleries were re-
quested 20 stop making demonstra-
tions. the roll call was started once
more.
The patient delegates finally sat
down again. The poll OF Maryland
went on. 1t got as far as Arthur P.
German. son OF the former Senator
German. who voted for Clark. There
were Kisses from the gallery.
If such demonstration occurs again"
EhOuted Chairman James, just as loud
81 his husky voice would permit, I shall
order the police TO clear the galleries"
AdIOurns Until Monday.
Then. after a time the poll Of Mary
land went ahead again. Finally. after
many delays, the list was completed. s
:. Field had made the point OF order
that the unit rule bound Maryland The
Instructions could not be produced and
the delegation was ordered recorded as
the poll showed il.
The point Of order was withdrawn.
Then the proceedings went on. the ballot
was completed, and at length the re-
suit announced.
The vote showed little change. There
was a conference Of leaders of the va
rOus candidates on the platform.
Palmer's motion was amended to read
II a. m. Monday morning.
The amendment was accepted and the
convention at u:CT adjourned until II
o'clock Monday morning.
Preceding the adjournment there was
Il conference OF leaders of the various
candidates on the platform. \. Mitchell
almrr Of Pennsylvania, wanted the con-
ventiOn to convene at noon on Monday
There was a storm at this. The delegates
wanted an earlier hour The motion was
then changed to provide for reConvening

to-day. The members Immediately con-
vened. Senator O'Gorman. Of New

Committeeman Pomerene and \. VI.
DOckery were among the first TO respond
to Senator O'GOrman's call. Gov. J. X.
Vardaman appeared shortly afterward.
The fact that the hurry-up call was
sent out created considerable excitement
among the members and the delegates.
One subject under discussion was the
matter Of publication in some quarters
OF summaries Of the platform when 1t
had not been released for publication
in any manner, but was ordered held
as confidential matter until read in the
convention. Some OF the committeeman
were inclined TO believe that an ad-
vantage had been taken OF them.
Some OF the members OF this COM
mittee were anxious to read over some
of the planks again" said Senator
O'Gorman, land so I called the meet
irg. I do not know what changes will
be made"
1t had been rumored that radical
changes would follow, but this was de-
MED by a number OF the committeeman.
Mr.. Bryan appeared in the meeting
for a few minutes. He hurried to the
floor OF the convention. The committee
remained in session until o'clock and
then adjourned, the members seeking
their delegations on the floor. The
changes made in the platform were
minor and did not change the sense OF
the planks.
