BalimOre, Md, June 25.-"You can
NOT frighten the democratic party with
your Ryans nor your Belmonts."
This was the singing utterance of
William j. Bryan in his impassioned
speech on. the floor of the convention
this afternoon, in his fight against the
election of Judge Parker as temporary
chairman of the body.
Not far away sat Thomas F. Ryan,
whose great fortune represents the
principles or lack of principles against
which Bryan has long fought. Nearby,
too was Belmont. Their presence did
rot lead the Nebraskan to change his
utterances.
"The influences that dominated at
Chicago now seek to dominate at
Baltimore" declared Bryan. "The
question is, Are we to take up the
challenge cast down at Chicago, or
submit this convention to the control
of the same predatory wealth, and
give the country no relief?
"The same interests are as brazenly
at work here as in the republican con-
yention."
Great applause greeted the utter
ances, and that following his striking
at Ryan and Belmont was terrific.
This is not the time for a cam
paign of pleasing words and smooth
phrases" said Bryan, and then he re-
iterated his declaration that it was not
so much Parker as the interests and
tie men behind Mr.. Parker, the sinis-
ter influences that were seeking to
dominate the convention and thereby
the voice of the people, and crush the
vale of the nation for relief from the
conditions created by Ryan and Be-
mont and their kind
Bryan was defeated in his efforts,
but the impression made upon the
convention was one that is not to be
lightly spoken of.
Senator Kern had refused to lead
the fight against Parker as a candidate
and in his speech adroitly made Bry-
an himself a candidate for the tempo
rary chairmanship
IF there is to be a fight between
the people and the powers, l am not
IL to be it's leader" declared Senator
Kern from his position in the hall.
There is only one man fit to lead the
hosts of progressiveism. If you must
have a fight, then the leader must be
worthy of the cause, and that leader
must be Mr.. Bryan"
Mr. Bryan accepted the position thus
thrust upon him in speech that was
a grand oratorical effort. He wa;
at times dramatic, aggressive and al
times superbly placid, but the dele
gates were against him.
Kern would not accept the honor o
temporary chairman, and made a very
tactful speech, one of mower and di
plomacy; he threw bouquets to al
factions.
When Bryan said that the words o
Parker's speech would mean nothing
was the man behind the speee'
who told him what to say, TN
crowd went wild. When he said n
was willing to be humiliated in SUP
port of a principle the convention roS
