drcn and fair proportion of men.
IT was one Of the largest picnic
crowds assembled In this vicinity for
many years. Last year there were
about 1000 in attendance, Had the
weather been more propitious there
would have been at least 200 more
people In attendance. About II
o'clock and during the remainder of
the day there were traces of rain
which merged into a slight drizzle
detracted much from the pleasure Of
the occasion although kut few people
returned home until later in the
afternoon. The young girls in low
neck and shirt sleeves found the
weather a little uncomfortable until
they became accustomed to the sud
den change. All were in happy
frame of mind and INDUCED in much
jollity. There were nine Sunday
schools represented, including sew

back and let on board~Dnly certain

Bryan Seems Certain 10 be Given Position as
Chairman OF Important Committee on
Resolutions OF Convention
JUDGE PARKER EULOGIZES BRYAN
Points With Horror TO Turmoil of Republican
Convention at Chicago and Flags G. OP.
Record on Tariff

Baltimore, Md, June 25.--A rapid
fire routine session tonight closed
the first day of the Democratic con-
yention, which begun with the de-
feat of William Jennings Bryan for
temporary chairman this afternoon.
Scenes of disorder on the floor which
made further proceedings impossible,
forced tonight's session and COM
PEELED Alton B. Parker to dispense
his key note address until the even
ing session.
Delegates on the floor gave earn
est evidence, tonight of their desire
to do everything in a hurry, and get
away from the convention. The
leaders had planned to adjourn the
session tonight until o'clock to-
morrow, and have the committees,
which were appointed tonight, meet
at 10 o'clock in the morning.
The delegates would not hear to
this plan and dsorderly protests
foried an adjournment until noon
and advanced the committee meeting
so that they were ordered to meet
Immediately after the session.
Bryan Absent at Night.
The completion of Parker's speech
and tie naming Of the convention
complttees was the sum of the work
of tonight's session. William J.
Bryan did not appear in the conven-
tion hall during the evening. His
failure to be on hand resulted In an
almost immediate adjournment of
the resolutions committee, which
met after the session in response to
the delegates demand for speed. 1t
was practically certain that Bryan
would be elected chairman of the
committee, The other committees
got together Immediately for organi-
zation.
William Jennings Bryan met de-
feat at the hands of the Democratic
national convention here today. and
in the opinion of many party leaders
here, eliminated himself from the
race for the presidential nomination.
The vote by which former Judge
Parker was elected temporary chair
man, was interpreted tonight in
many ways. The Clark followers
are openly claiming the nomination
and there are many at the conven-
tion, today. who are inclined to be-
lieve that it would be either Clark or
dark horse. Tally Of Bryan has
not ceased by any means.
Many of Speaker Clark's delegates
openly threw their support to the an
ti-Bryan forces This was regarded
as opening breach between the
Speaker and the former nominee,
which may cause Bryan supporters
to make bitter fight on Clark.
Taken at another angle the vote of
so many clark followers for Parker
was interpreted as a distinct bid for
the support of the conservative ele-
ment in the convention.
Small Night Attendance.
But shattered attendance had
appeared for the night session at s
o'clock. The sharp rain which fell
at intervals all day set in again be-
fore nightfall, adding to the humid
heat, the atmosphere of the hall was
oppressive.
At S:15 Norman Mack climbed
the. stairs to the stage and conferred

| The cause of government by the
people the world over has been ma
terially checked by the disgracefuI
brawl which terminated in the bed

tality and the abuse which charac-

The assault upon the unwritten
prohibition against third term
, made in the wild scramble for the
Republican nomination, warns us of
the vital necessity of incorporating
in our constitution a safeguard
against repeated terms.
In the very beginning of our con-
stitution making it was urged by
delegates participating that safety
required constitutional limitation
of the period of years one man might
hold the office of president. History
warned them of the coming OF q
man whose Unsuitable lust of power
would be as consuming as Caesars,
towering high above his love of coun-
try The danger seemed, even ia
the pessimists to have passed with
the establishment of a precedent by
Washington, Jefferson and their sue

Roosevelt Changes Position.
The man who split his party at
Chicago, once recognized the third
term tradition and acknowledged
it's APPLICATION to his situation. Or
the eve of his triumph in 1904 he
said:
"The wise custom which limits the
president to two terms regards the
substance and not the form, and un-
der on circumstances will be cam
didate for or accept another nomina-
tion"
Wrong in this year of grace he
was right in that. Peradventure he
was honest with his soul and he
may have confessed to it that even a
president may be tempted to resort
to sordld devices and shameless i'm
portunities to gain his ambition. If
so he was in mental condition to
realize to the full the danger to the
republic in volved in setting aside
a custom constituting the only bull
wark against the assaults Of men
whose ambition chokes their patriot
ism and whose selfish desire for per-
sonal victory and power throttles
