In presenting this forceful resolution

| In presenting this IorceIul leSoiutioi'
Mr.. Bryan said:
This is an extraordinary resolutioh'
but extraordinary conditions need eN-
| traordinary remedies. We are now en-
| gagged in the conduct of. convention
that will place before this country 'he
| Democratic nominee, and l assume tha'
every delegate in this convention Is mere
because he wants that nominee elected
| And it is in order that We may ad-
! vance the cause of our candidates that
| | present this resolution. There are
questions of which a court taxes Juui-
| cial notice and there are subjects upon
| which We can assume tnat the american
| people are informed, and there is not "a
| delegate in this convention VINO does hol
| know that an effort is being made rlshl
| now to sell the Democratic party INTO
| bondage to the predatory interests OF
| this country. 1t is the most brazeh'
| the most insolent, the most impudeht
attempt that has been made in the
| history of American politics to dominate
| a convention, stifle the honest sehtl-
ment of people and make the nominee
| The bond slave of tile men VINO exploit
| the people of this country.
81 nee not tell you that j. Pierpont
! Morgan and Th0nas +. Ryan and Au-
sust Belmont are three of the men VINO
| are connected with the great money
| trust of the country, who are as des-
potic in their rule of the business of
| the country, and as merciless III their
| command of their states as any in the
| country.
someone has said that we have no
! right to discuss the delegates VINO come
| here from a sovereign state. IL these
loen are willing to insult six ana 1t
| half million of Democrats We ought to
| speak out against them and let them
Lnow We resent the Insult.
81. for one. am not willing that
| Thomas f. Ryan and August Belmont
SHALL come here with their paid attof-
news and seek secret counsel with the
managers of this party.
Now, my friends, l cannot speak TOT
YOU. You have Your own responsipillt!
but if this is to be a convention run
by these men, if our nominee Is 10 ne
their representative. l pray you TO give
us, who represent constituencies t!at
do not want this chance to go on
record with our protest against H. II
any of you are willing u nominate u
candidate who represents these men,
or who is under obligation to these
men, do it, and take the responsibility
refuse to take that responsibility.
Mr.. Bryan was throughout his master
ly presentation of the resolution greet
ed with prolonged applause.
There is a great deal of bitterness
against Mr.. Bryan among the Clark ad-
herents They felt that the Nebiaskan
had no right to attempt to place u
Morgan -Belmont-Ryan brand on the
Sneaker just because the New York
delegation gave its support to him.
They attempted to offset the effect
uuon the progressives made by Mr.
| Bryan's statement that he would with
hold his vote from the Mssourian so
| long as New Yorks vote went TO him.
At the same time they argued that he
could not wipe out the injury without
attacking Mr. Bryan i'll the forum where
! Mr.. Dryan's assault WAS delivered. The
ma iority OF the Missouri delegates felt
that while Mr.. Clark would be justi-
fled in facing Mr.. Bryan and defending
himself before the convention, his OPP
ponents would charge that his hur-
.ied appear%lce upon the scene was Tor
the purpose of personally seeking vim
dication in the form of votes
Balloting for a presidential candidate
was continued on Monday. Woodrow
Wilson took the lead over Clark ana

| 5:12 until o'clock in the evening.
When the convention at l2:43 on Tues
| day morning adjourned until noon
| the deadlock had not been
| broken. Wilson gained steadily and
| reached 5Ol IL votes on the 39th ballot,
