I'VE are writing history today and

trolled by predatory wealth or answer

tory wealth to give the country no
party"
Kern Pleads For comproniss.
Senator Kern took the platform as
Bryan closed and was mildly cheered.
Kern said he wished to take no action
which would prejudice Indiana's can
didate for the president, Mr.. Marshall.
II believe that Judge Parker is as
honestly desirious of democratic sue
cess this year as I am" continued
Kern, amid shouts for Parker which
greeted the announcement.
Kern appealed to Parker to unite
with him in support of Senator O'Gor-
man. Of New York: Representative
Clayton, of Alabama; Senator Culber-
son, or one Of a number Of others he
mentioned.

AS the banner appeared cheer rang
from the galleries. The delegates on
the floor did little cheering. Cardinal
Gibbons entered the hall at 11:45, ac-
companied by Chairman Robert Grain,
Of the local committee on arrange
ments and proceeded by a squad Of po-
licemen the cardinal in his red robes
made picturesque picture among the
soberly clad delegates. He was cheered
as he made his way to the stage.
At this time the hall was filling rap
ingly. There was q murmur Of excite
ment when word came that Mr.. Bryan
had started from his hotel eor the con-
vention.
Bryan Slips In.
Mr.. Bryan with his brother and two
friends left for the hall shortly before
IL o'clock. To avoid demonstration
and crush in the hotel corridor Mr..
Bryan and his party were taken to the
basement of the building in private
service elevator. where they were taken
to the convention hall in automobiles.
It was stated that there was nothing
to say regarding the temporary chair
manship, as present plans might un-
dergo a sudden change the conven-
ton floor.
Bryan slipped into the convention
hall and was on. the platform some
minutes without being recognized by
the waiting throng. He shook hands
with Cardinal Gibbons who was wait
ing to pronounce the opening invoca-
ton.
No Applause For Baldwin,
Connecticut entered with big blue
baner inscribed Our choice for presi-
dent. Simeon J. Baldwin" No applause
greeted the Baldwin banner.
Chairman Mack took his place at the
presiding officers desk a few minutes
after noon.
The floor Of the convention hall was
now well filed with delegations but
some Of the notable ones-New Jersey.
Missouri and Nebraska-had not yet
arrived.
The Connecticut delegation endeav-
ored to start Baldwin demonstration
but without success Then the band
played Dixie" and great cheer swept
the hall. "The Star Spanxled Banner"
brought the gathering to its feet.
The California delegation brought in
a large Champ Clark banner. Scattered
cheers greeted its appearance.
Parker Makes Appearances.
Judge Parker entered just after the
proceedings had opened accompanied
by the New York delegation. There
was little demonstrations.
A few delegates who went to speak
to Mr.. Bryan found him somewhat
nervous and irritable. He confirmed
his intention OF nominating Senator
John w. Kern. OF Indiana. as candi-
date for temporary chairman in oppo-
sition to Judge Parker, the choice OF the

COMMITTEE PICKS PARKER.
I 'Rsaetionary Chosen ~ Temporary
Chairman.

Baltimore, June 25. Progressive
democrats received a heavy blow last
night when Alton B. Parker. Of New
York, recognized reactionary, was
selected for temporary chairman of the
convention BY the national committee.
The action ratified the recommenda-
ton of the subcommittee which chose
the New Yorker.
William Jennings Bryan. who In the
naming of Parker received a personal
affront. quickly countered. and in n
statement issued as soon as the news
reached him asserted his intention Of
carrying the fight to the floor of the
convention.
Declaring that Thomas F. Ryan, Au-
gust Belmont, and other predatory"
influences were back of Parker, Mr..
Bryan said the name OF some progress
sive would be put In opposition to
Parker, and II none suitable could be
found he would become candidate for
the honor himself.
Parker's vote was 81 as against 20
for Ollie James. Of Kentucky. and 2
for Senator O'Gorman, Of New York.
The James OGorman vote indicates
the Bryan strength on the committee
Parker's majority of nine over his op-
ponents may and may not represent
the anti-Bryan sentiment among the
delegates The vote was announced as
follows:
Figure Result in Convention,
The statistician got busy With the
announcement of the temporary chair
manship vote. The figures disclosed
that If all the states carried by Parker
in the committee fight should oppose
Mr., Bryan in the convention. the Com
moner will lose in his effort to dislodgc
the New York man by vote Of 69i to
39s With the exception of Ohio and
Missouri. all the big states with large
Texas. always considered strong pro-
Bryan state, was placed. temporarily
at least. In the conservative column by
National Committeeman r. NJ. Johns
ton.
Friends of Mr.. Bryan scoff at the
suggestion that the action of the COM
mittee presages what will happen in
the convention when the temporary
craftsmanship fight is brought up. They
point among other things. to the pro-
test by Mr.. Johnston from the Texas
delegation, demanding that ne oppose
Parker. This the Fort Worth editor
ignored.
The politicians concede that the
Texas delegation OF forty will line up
with Bryan against Parker and say 1t
Is likely that other states which voted
against the Bryan candidates in the
committee Will shift when the dele
gates get chance to express them
selves.
Illinois Will Fight Bryan.
Illinois is one OF the states that will
fight BRYAN to the last. This was made
certain when the unit rule was sane
toned by the delegation at its caucus
and National Committeeman Sullivan's
action as member uf the sasca... nit :
tee was approved. New York also can
be counted on to stand by Parker.

national colors greeted the early ar
rivals on the scene Of the democratic
