Baltimore, Nd, June 2S.-Most OF
the state delegations had taken their
places in the convention hall at 3:45.
The gallery crowds already extended
back to the last tier and promised to
exceed the magnitude of any former
meetings. Officials We're gradually
taking their places on the platform.
The prevailing talk from the floor in
dicated a prolonged session with lit.
tie material change in the early ballots.
New York Sticks to Harmon.
The New York delegation decided
in caucus late this afternoon to stick
to Judson Harmon on the second bal.
lot and to vote for Clark on the third
ballot unless unusual developments
arise. AS to Underwood, Kern and
others, future caucuses will determine

Baltimore, Md, June 2S.-William ].
Bryan had no word to say today on
the first presidential ballot at the Bal
timore convention. After the adjourn
rent Of the all-night session, the Nc
braskan hurried to his hotel where he
retired for needed rest. He indicat-
ed that the delegates already had
SPOKEN their mind against Underwood
and Harmon but was noncommittal as
10 whether his choice was Clark or
Wilson, although he added that he had
voted for Clark.
Mr. Bryan believes that he has
achieved a great moral victory in Sc
curing the passage of his Morgan-Ryan-
Belmont resolution, which was hurled
into the convention like a bomb-shell
last night. Over the breakfast table,
Mr.. Bryan talked freely of the resolu-
ton. When asked what the effect
would be, he replied: you wait for
a week There never has been such
an alignment of a political party
against any interest Just see the vote
that was cast for the resolution"
rs not the resolution nullified by
the elimination of the last clause, de-
manding the withdrawal Of any dele
gates representing the Morgan-Ryan,
Belmont interests?"
NO" replied Mr. Bryan with en-
phasis. "The last clause was merely
putting into effect the first clause.
When before in any convention have
we had such men named?"
What did you think of Virginia S
vote in favor of this resolution? There
were 23 1-2 votes for it and 1-2 vote
against it. And Thomas F. Ryan was
sitting in the delegation.
This resolution has made the dele
gates get in line. Those who nomi
mated reactionary after passing the
resolution would never dare go home
if they lived west of the Allegheny
mountains.

divergence Of view between the two
strong elements, the South and New

prefer Bryan to Wilson.
All Up in the Air.
The view held by southern leaders
is that after three campaigns for
Bryan it is desirable to turn to a new
man. On the other hand, the New

The Underwood forces continue

Baptist Ministers, Conference.

The Baptist Ministers Conference of
the West River Valley and vicinity met
in the Baptist church Tuesday at 1890.
Pres. G.. w. Russell called the meeting
to order After prayer by Rev. e. c.
Clark the president called for the report
of books read. Several books were men,
toned and recommended to the members
of the conference as valuable reading for
the minister. Rev. j. r. Berry of Put
ney gave a carefully prepared and ex-
ceedingly interesting paper on the book
most difficult of Interpretation of all the
books of the New Testament. the rev.
elation of st. John. 1t was enjoyed by
all and freely discussed, while Mr..
Berry received hearty commentator for
his painstaking effort. Not all agreed
with him in his Interpretation of some
parts of the book.
An excellent dinner was served by the
Hadassah league Rev. Charles II. b.
Seliger was called upon for an after
dinner speech, and responded wittily,
expressing his appreciation of the invita-
ton to attend the conference and also of
the efforts of the women to satisfy the
needs of the inner man.
The conference re-assembled at Q
O'Clock to listen to an address by Rev.
Joseph Mexican on the topic, "A stand
ard of efficiency for Baptist churches
as recommended by the Northern Baptist
convention. Mr.. Mexican warned the
conference against the tendency of men
in official positions to unconsciously
usurp authority, especially in ecclesias-
teal circles. The history of the Chris
tian church furnishes many painful ex-
amples of this tendency. A cardinal
principle of the Baptist polity is the in
dependence of the local church. Mr.
Mexican saw a danger to this great
principle lurking in the adoption of this
standard of efficiency" though he en-
dorsed each article in the STANDARD" as
recommended. A thoroughly live" dis
cussion followed this address, bringing
to close very interesting and profit
able day. Those present were Rev.

Opening Of County Court.

The spring term of county court OPEN
ed Tuesday at l p. m. AS good num-
Der of the lawyers were in Montpelier to
attend the Republican state and dis
trict conventions, and the jurors were
notified not to appear until next Mon
day, the attendance was not as large as
usual. The opening prayer was ofered
by Rev. F.. M. Wiswall. Judge F. L.
Fish made some feicitous remarks in
reference to Newfane being the place Of
his boyhood days, also where he began
the study of law rs years ago, and al
Iuded to recollections which the pictures
ON the wall brought to mind. The full
length oil painting of Judge William
Bradley was suggestive of his entering
Congress, a contemporary of Daniel
Webster, while the picture of the late
Charles N. Davenport, which hangs on
the south side, recalled powerful argu-
ments made by him. 1t was here that
Judge Fish heard the noted +. j. Phelps
Of Burlington. who represented this
country at the court of st. James.
AS a mature boy Judge Fish was so
impressed with the power and eloquence
of the orator that he then resolved to
Gated that determination to his parents.
1t is a coincidence that he was called
first to hold court in his native town.
and he next will preside at the county
court in Middlebury, where he has prac-
ticed law many years. Judge Fish re-
marked that he had been told often that
Newfane was an ideal place in which to
hold court.

Directing Forest Fires.

A Montpelier despatch to a Brooklyn
N. Y, paper says that State Forester
Halves will soon establish wireless sta
lions on some of the mountain tops in
the state to aid in the discovering and
spreading the news of forest fires. 1t Is
argued that outlooks on Killington and
Mansfield will be able to sweep the state
and give warning in time to prevent a
blaze in any section from assuming a
threatening aspect. The wireless part or
the project gives the idea a novel touch (;
the important part of the scheme is that
there will be outlooks constantly on
watch and in communication with other
parts of the state Expending money for
rangers is a cheap form of insurance
when the loss from undetected forest
fires is consdered.-[St. Adams Messen-
