AGAINST THIRD PARTY
Says the Coming Political Battle VIII
be Between Wall Street and
Taft Against the
Professor.


LANSING. Mich, July Sin a
lengthy statement today. Governor Os-
born voiced his sentiments against a
third party and expressed hope that
Colonel Roosevelt would abandon his
plans for convention in August and
not be candidate for the presidency.
The Michigan governor was one OF
the seven governors who met in Chi
cago and requested Roosevelt to be-
come an active candidate for the re-
publican nomination.
Governor Osborn says that he sees
no necessity for a new party just
now. He praises Wilson and says re-
publicans can vote for the New Jersey
governor without leaving their party
or bolting. He asserts that the real
republican party has no candidate for
president this year. The Michigan
executive gives Roosevelt the credit
for the nomination Of Wilson saying
that the colonels defeat at Chicago
and his proposal Of third party
forced the democrats to put up a
strong progressive candidate.
His statement follows In part:
II am of the firm opinion that there

SEA GIRT, N. j., July S--Fatigued
by the arduous reception Of congratu-
lations that kept him up Till eleven
O'clock. an unusually late hour at the
summer capitol" Governor Wilson
slept late today and when he finally
emerged from his apartment, he
scarcely recognized the lawn OF the
little white house." Tents had sprung
up everywhere for the use OF tele-
graphers, telephones and visitors and
the place looked like an army camp
This was accentuated when the state
authorities stretched ropes around
the yard to keep the crowds off the
grass.
1t was expected to be a big day In
Sea Girt for the Texas delegation to
the convention, forty strong, sent
word from Baltimore that they would
call on the nominee in body. Al
most all OF the New Jersey delegates
expected to go home by way Of Sea
Grit while many Tennessee and Penn
sylvania delegates sent word to tho
governor that they would call on him
during the day. When he arose this
morning, two hours after his usual
lgetting-up time--Wilson received his
first official information that Governor
Marshall of Indiana was nominated
for vice president. Wilson last night
4 was informed that Marshall would be
the man but when the convention
ACTUALLY balloted, Governor Wilson
had been asleep two hours. Regard

1 INDIANAPOLIS, July 3.-With his

the democratic vice presidential nom
Iinee, walked into the Indiana capitol
building today, and proceeded to his
work. II it had not been for the con-
gratuIations OF the state officers, and
friends of the governor who called
upon him, there would have been
nothing to indicate the honor that had
|been paid the Indiana executive.
The governor was aroused from
sleep at one o'clock this morning by
a newspaper man, who called to tell
him that he had been nominated. Be-
fore he could answer the telephone

answer.

Credit Goes to Bryan.

AS the delegates today reviewed the
events Of the past week there was
nothing but praise for the manner In
which Wilson was nominated. Bryan
got the greater portion of the credit.
His action in breaking away from his
state instructions was the great
dramatic event Of the session. Coup
led with the forcing through OF the
anti Morgan Ryan Belmont Murphy res
olution and his open denunciation of
the money trust, he enabled the Wilson
men to cement their forces so that all
the time they were wonderful fight
ing unit.
But Bryan was merely the general
in command. The strategetic moves
were the work Of coterie OF young
democrats who are certain to prove a
big factor in the party in the immed-
late future. Congressman A. Mitchell
Palmer of Pennsylvania; John Hughes,
of New Jersey; Bob Henry OF Texas:
Senators Luke Lea, of Tennessee, and
Gore of Oklahoma the latter one of
the best two f1sted fighting men that
ever delighted the heart in parlia-
mentary battle, although blind, and a
! few others were the men who broke
perfect political machine. With far
less than third Of the delegates In
their camp these men devoted all OF
their energies at the outset to pre-
venting the nomination of Speaker
Clark on the first few ballots. Op-
posed by the permanent chairman, OF
lie James, senator-elect from Ken
lucky. who utilized every parliament
ary trick he honorably could to aid
the Clark forces, the little band of
wilson men played for the individual
delegate. They swung to their side
individuals in many Of the state dele
cations. Then with the assurances
that they could show that some of the
delegations supposed to be adamant in
their support for Clark were filled with
Wilson sentiment, the Wilsonites
forced individual roll calls.
The opposition was completely
checkmated. When successive roll
calls demonstrated absolutely that
state delegation after state delegation
still retained enough Clark men to
force the recording of the state vote
for Clark under the unit rule. the
Clark men would jubilate with loud
cheering and shouts of applause. But
1.-The Wilson men simply smiled, and

poker of the most scientific variety,
and IT had its effect because many OF

MIDDLE of the road, and SO made i'm
possible the nomination of Clark early
in the game.
Each state delegation was utilized
to make Wilson votes. Wilson men in

but Bryan was prepared to lead on 1t.
However, on the second ballot it was
demonstrated that Marshall was sure
to win, and Congressman Hughes,
leader Of the Wilson forces, consulted
with Bryan. The Nebraskan nodded
acquiescence and Hughes demanded
unanimous consent that the nominal
tion be made by acclamation North
Dakota objected and the roll was
ordered to proceed. Then Former SEN
ator Purcell, realizing that the fight
was over. Withdrew Governor Burke's
name. and the motion for the nomina-
ton by acclamation was renewed, and
went through with whoop. Fifteen
seconds later the democratic national
convention was part OF the nations
history.
Following Wilson's nomination a
determined stand was made to have
Speaker Champ Clark accept the NOM
ination for the vice presidency. For
a time, the speaker was inclined to
accede to the demand. The appeals to
him were made on the grounds of par.
ty loyalty. and the sturdy old Mis-
sourian was inclined to sacrifice his
personal wishes to the call OF the
party. But his friends refused to per
init the sacrifice. They told him
bluntly there were plenty Of other
men, and that as speaker he had a
duty to perform, and should remain
there.
The effort to get Clark as Wilson'S
running mate took time, and, In the
interval, after listening to speeches
nominating some Of the candidates,
the convention adopted the platform.
The comprehensive document seemed
to please the delegates, although the
reading had to be interrupted several
times because of the disorder In the
galleries whose occupants were so far
|off that they could not distinguish q
single word Of the party declaration
of principles.
