BRYAN DESERTS CLARK
Explaining Vote He Refuses to Sup

Baltimore.-The scene when Bryan
repudiated Clark was one of the most
dramatic ever witnessed in nationa,
convention.
Declaring he wanted to explain his
vote, he proceeded to declare that he
and the men he represented, would
support no creature of Tammany Hall
and no presidential candidate who
owed his nomination to New Yorks

switched from Clark to Wilson. The
action was taken amidst pandemonium
the like of which has seldom been sur.
passed in a national convention.
Standing on the platform, flushed
and angry, Bryan threw directly into
the face of Murphy, as he sat at the
head of the New York delegation, the

COMMONER WINS VICTORY
Withdraws Clause Asking for With.
drawat of Two Financiers.

Baltimore.-Wifiiam Jennings Bryan
won the most remarkable victory of
his career when he forced through the
passage by twothirds majority of a
radically progressive resolution put
ting the democratic convention on
record as opposing the nomination for
president Of any candidate allied in
any way with J. Pierpont Morgan,
Thomas F. Ryan, August Belmont or
any other member of the privilege
seeking class"
His was move unheard of in the
history OF politics and it proved be-
yond doubt Bryan's hold on the dem
ocratic party. The resolution follows:
Resolved. that in this crisis in our
party's career and in our country's his
tory, this convention sends greetings
to the people of the United States and
assures them that the party of Jeffer-
son and Jackson is still the champion
of popular government and equality
before the law. AS proof of our fidel-
ity to the people We hereby declare
ourselves opposed to the nomination
of any candidate for president who is
the representative of or under any
obligations to J. Jierpont Morgan,
Thomas F., Ryan, August Belmont or
any other member of the privilege
hunting and favor-seeking class"
Bryan's resolution as originally in
troduced called for the withdrawal of
Ryan and Belmont as delegates from
Virginia and New York respectively.
but the Commoner withdrew this pro
position after it had been attacked as
invading the rights of sovereign states.

Bryan Switches to Wilson.
Saturday afternoons session was
marked by dramatic outburst by Mr..
Bryan. Claiming the privilege of ex-
planning why he and more than a
dozen other delegates from Nebraska
were going to switch their votes from
Clark to Wilson, he declared that SO
long as Champ Clark continued to ac-
cept the support Of Charles F. Murphy
and Tammany Hall. he would not vote
for him.
After rs ballots had been taken with
Governor Wilson gaining on each bal
lot and Speaker Clark constantly los

deadlock was unbroken after hours of
continuous balloting.
Wilson added to his vote during

on the 46th ballot he received suffici.

AS the second ballot progressed

the so-called Wilson states shifted to
support him. The result of the ballot
was announced: Marshall, 645h;

a beligerent attitude throughout the
convention, and several times hurled

years has one man by sheer force of

The first real test of strength be-

came in a vote on the South Dakota

The melted ear vince $ whea ] cast are run against cold border of steel and the drop in temperature creates different texture in the rim of the wheel from that made from other ores. The chill penetrates the rim of the wheel to the depth of an inch or more, sometimes to the re
 markable depth of two inches. It gives to the Salisbury iron such a combIaa- tion of hexibleness and tensile quality
 as to find it's counterpart in very few D aces in the world. In other ores the result is too soft Or too brittle for car wheel endurance. The crystal line structure of Salisbury iron after the chill, with the extending the hard ness to such depth, is from a cause that has never been discovered
 Car wheels made from Sa isbury iron survive at least 50000 car miles a year. When William H. Barnum was a i've a test was made in England of car wheel made from this iron. A relay Of selected blacksmitfls with a heavy sledge struck blows on the wheel and it was not until S95 had been impacted against it that it broke and then only a small piece on one side.

Bishop Ludden
 Is In Favor Of
 Sunday Baseball
Especial from United Press.)

Syra cuse, Jan. 25-"I am in favor of Sunday baseball,'' said Bishop Pat rick A. Ludden, Roman Catholic, to- day. .I would much prefer that the young men went to the baseball game on Sunday afternoon, than that they hang around the saloons or stand on the corners and make insulting re- marks. They get fresh air, they can abuse the umpire, which gives them a lot of amusement.
 1T consider baseball one of the cleanest and best of sports, and it will not hurt anyone. Again, the hours for service are such that a base ball game does not interfere with church worship.
 ''rhe man who has to work all week and has no time for recreation or amusement would be far better at baseball game, on Sunday afternoon, than hanging around a saloon or go- ing out to the dance hall.''
