forgotten the fact that after the
corporation management had alien

party, Wall street threw the party
down and elected the other man.
They have not forgotten that
when the vote was counted we had
2 million and quarter less votes
than we had in the two campaigns
before and million and a quarter
less than we did the campaign four
years afterward. They have not
forgotten that it is the same man,

dishearten every man.

members Of that dercgation did not re-
gard this as in any way diminishing
the chances of Governor Marshall.
Connecticut was close to Ohio, the
delegation being enthusiastic in its
support of Governor Baldwin. North
Dakota, nominating Governor Burke Of

slow arrival of delegates was due in
part TO the close scrutiny Of tickets

Bryan Makes Sharp Points.

Mr.. Bryan claimed the right TO speak
today on the ground that in three presi-
Dental campaigns he had borne aloft
the banner of Democracy as its presi-
Dental nominee. Now that the fruits
of victory were at hand, he said he
should not be denied an opportunity to
rejoice with his party, The Democratic
plain people now that the dawn had
come, should, he declared, be made
ga pillar of clouds by day
Mr.. Bryan made another point which
elected unbounded enthusiasm from his
hearers. He declared that the sinister
Influences which had been at work in
the Republican national convention at
Chicago were operating even more bra
zeply at Baltimore But, he added, the
Democratic party could not be run by
the Ryans or bought L. the Belmonts.
MI Bryan plainly was under stress
as he made his plea to the convention
to turn down the Wall street interests
which he declared here represented in
the selection OF Judge Parker as tenn
porary chairman. He advocated Sena-
tor John w; Kern of Indiana, as
from the Nebraskan, dramatically
called upon Judge Parker to Withdraw
. from the night and in the interest of
harmony to throw his support to any
one of half dozen progressives named
by the Bryan sympathiZers
There was no immcdiay response to
the open challenge in the convention
and Mr.. Kern 3hen declared that as
was fight TO the death between the
interests and the people Mr.. Bryan was
the only person fitted to bear the bruut
for the people, 10 behalf of Judge Par
ker II was later stated that as he had
not sought the office ia the hands of the
national committee and had taken no
part in the fight. he felt he had no
night 10 withdraw.
Lines Quickly Drawn.
The first session of the convention
which mar ked the defeat of Mr.. BRYAN
was noisy and disorderlv one. II
began with everyone apparently in the
best OF good humor, but soon after the
opening prayer bv Cardinal Gibbons
the lines between the Bryan and anti
Bryan forces frightened almost to the
breaking point.
Mr.. BRYAN was given an enthusiastic
greeting both from the floor and gal
lories when he made his first appear
snce and began his speech of protest
against Judge Parker. He had mo-
proceeded far, however, before inter
ruptions began to be hurled at him
This was a signal for further disorder
Senator Kern was accorded treatmen n
even less courteous.

AT 1908 National Chairman Mack ar
rived and climbed the stairs leading to
the platform.
A few delegates who went to speak
to Mr., Bryan found him somewhat
nervous and irritable. He confirmed
his intention of nominating Senator
John w. Kern of Indiana as a can"
didate for temporary chairman in op-
position to Judge Parker, the choice of
the national committee.
Both sides at tins time were claiming
victory in the coming fight.

supporters in the house, was expected
TO lend his influence to the Nebraskan
IN the convention.
Up TO that time Charles +. Murphy,
Alton B. Parker, Senator O'Gorman
and several of the conservative lead
ers were still absent
There was one sharp contrast in the
convention arrangements and those at
Chicago. At the Republican conven-
ton the hall fairly swarmed with blue
coated policemen, Gordon of them be-
ing thrown always across the front Of
the stage. In the hall here today to

Chairman Mack dropped his gavel at

endeavored to get the delegates and

CARL HAYDEN
FOR CONGRESS

The official returns of the primary
election held last month discIoses
that Wiley f. Jones. W. 7. Webb and
John r. Hampton have been chosen
for the democratic electoral ticket.
Mr.. Hampton finally winning over
George Babbitt by 81 votes.
Hon. Carl Hayden was nominated
as the democratic candidate by a vote
Of 1914 which may be taken as the
total democratic vote in the state and
which shows a very low tide OF 20.
.litical interest in Arizona.
Mr.. Hayden had no opponent in the
primary, as his first service in con.
gress has been entirely satisfactory
to his constituents of every political
affiliation. He demonstrated in Wash
ington that he is a hard worker and
that he was quick on all occasions 20
see where the best interests lie.
While Mr. Hayden lays no claim to
oratory, he, on several occasions ad.
dressed the house on matters in
which he and his constituents were
specially interested, demonstrating an
ability TO gather and present data in
a convincing manner. Being a new
member much OF his time was requir-
ed in getting acquainted with the var
ious governmental departments where
much of the real work of a congress-
man is accomplished. He has at all
times been prompt to give mis- assist
ance when called upon to democrats,
republicans or those Of other political
aniliation.
Hayden is a native son Of Arizona
and was in public life in Maricopa
county for many years before being
called on to represent the new state
in congress. He knows every niche
Of the state he represents and he
knows the conditions and the various
industries and what is acquired for
their further development and his
loyalty and patriotism is a guarantee
that he will overlook no opportunity
to keep Arizona and Arizona people
and their interests.
The reelection Of Carl Hayden is
