mountains. The effect of this reso-
luton can hardly be estimated now.
Wait for a. week until it has had
time to settle in the minds and to
be mentally dtgested as to it's inner
most meaning. 1t will then be found
to have made a distinct alignment.
Delegates must go On one Ade or
the other There can be no com
promise; there can be no half way
maneuvering. / believe that the res
olution will show the people where
their representatives stand and place
the responsibility where it belong.

constituency see for itself"
Clark Men in Conference.
Immediately following the an
nouncement of adjournment the
Clark men into conference
claiming that they would force the
speakers nomination on either the
second or third ballot. They said
they had the assurance of the New

just as soon as it was certain that
they will be sufficient to force
Vial N y uOlllldllOu llltN also DIS
serted that the Baldwin aud many
of U~nderwood's votes as well as the
majority OF the Harmon delegates,
would be recorded for Clark early in
the fight.
Three Grea Demonstrations.
Three great demonstrations had
delayed the work and set the pro-
gram so far back thai all c%aIcula-
Nf4yr HaI 49,, ,-rt .--L
ably the most remarkable night in
the history of the time honored
Democratic party. The attack of
William j. Bryan on the predatory
interests was the first break in the
quiet of the early night. 1t lasted
until the Murphy-Taggart element
forces consented to the part of his
resolutions and he had withdrawn
the second part. Murphy, Sullivan
and Taggart accepted his victory
calmly assuring themselves that
they had put him in a position that
will make 1t impossible to bolt lat
er. They seemed willing that every
thing should go progressive, If on
ly they could prevent Bryan finding
an opportunity to leave the party
The roll call did not begin until II
o'clock.
Every Candidate Cheered.
Demonstration followed demon
stration with the naming of the vari-
Gus candidates. Clark followers
cheered his name for sixty minutes.
Baldwin, Clark, Underwood and
Harmon all made big rackets.
The Wilson demonstration was
probably the widest Of the whole
night. 1t lasted one hour and fifteen
minutes, galleries and delegates join
ing in the uproaT. When it ceased
the roll call went on. At 4:4O
O'Clock Indiana was reached and
Senator Shively nominated Governor
Thomas r. Marshall. This was the
signal for the ffaosier outburst,
which was headed by a band playing
"On the Banks of the Wabash
1t was now long after daybreak
and the crowd was becoming impa-
tent When Governor Brewer, OF
Mississippi, tried to make a long
speech se%conding U~nderwood's nomi-
nation, he was Kissed and jeered and
interrupted frequently. The crowd
got up and left while NJ. A. Dough
erty, of Ohio, nominated Governor
Harmon.
CIark's Claims.
Former Governor David r. Fran
els, who Is assisting Senator Stone
in leading the Clark forces, insisted
that he had enough pledged to in
sure the speakers nomination If not
on the second surely on the third
ballot. The Wilson forces were
greatly encouraged over the. fact
that they maintained their strength
In the face of a desperate effort by
the Clark managers to split their
forces Just before the voting by in
sisting that Wilson had been cog
infant of the Bryan move to put the
party IN record in his money trust
resolution.
Long Battle Predicted.
The general impression of expert
enced politicians was that the con-
ventlon was facing a long drawn out
battle in which the chances Of a
dark horse" nominee were far
greater than had ever been antici-
pated before. There was only a
handful of the many thousands
of spectators who last night filed
the great armOry to overlooking, still
in their seats when daylight broke,
but the rank and file of the dele
gates was still at their task. For
hours they had been listening to the
flow of e%loquence and near elo-
quence urging the claim of the vari-
Gus candidates.
Blind Senator Is Heard.
The delegates listened respectively
while Senator Gore, the blind states
man, of Oklahoma, spoke of the duty
that was incumbent on them toward
Progressiveism. He said that if they
did not nominate a progressive can
didate on a progressive platform they
could'not expect to receive the votes
of the progressive Republicans who
would, he said, pruort Theodore
