ly easy. Instead of an all night session

AGAINST HARMON

Baltimore, June 27.-The progressives
in the Democratic national convention
claimed a nominal victory when hey
carried a motion abrogating the rule by
which some state delegations were
bound to cast their votes as a unit.
The fight for and against the unit
rule was waged particularly about the
state of Ohio, where IS district dele
gates had been. instructed by primaries
to vote for woodrow Wilson, but where
the state convention, controlled by the
Harmon forces, had invoked the unit
rule, binding all Ohio delegates to the
Ohio governor.

Political wiseacres familiar with the

that the convention might cor+'~ue tn
voting until a choice was made, re-
quiring a session extending well into

it probable, however, that a recess
would follow the first or the second
ballot to permit conferences looking to

throuC.- a coalition of the Bryan and
Wilson forces as significant of the
final outcome. Much Importance wa:
attached by them to a report that Mr.
Bryan was preparing to throw his
chips into Governor Wilson's basket.
Clark supporters apparently think that
Bryan has turned against the speaker
for they show some feeling because the
N~ebraskan's strength was lined up
with the Wilson crowd on the vote last
night. Up to the actual opening OF
the convention, Mr.. Bryan had treat

If Mr.. Bryan has determined to
wage his fight for progressive prin-
ciples with Governor Wilson as his
candidate, he has not made it known.
The report of the credentials com
mittee was the pending business before
the convention today. Confusion in
the hall compelled an adjournment
last night before the minority report
could be read and the entire matter
was left over. Considerable debate is
promised over the two reports. En-
couraged by their success last night,
the Wilson forces were prepared to
fight the majority eport seating ten
Clark delegates from South Dakota
over ten Wilson delegates They were
confident they could seat their men
over the heads of the committee, if
Mr.. Bryan would help.

should be bound by a unit control eX-

was mandatory on the subject.

Wilson gained and Harmon lost 1S

in other delegations and this left the
presidential nomination race in greater
doubt than ever.

votes was cast in favor of continuing
the unit rule, mid Kisses and groans,
Missouri, the home state OF Champ
Clark, split, 90 to Z, in favor of the
unit rule and this result was received
with groans. When Nebraska and
Kansas voted solidly for the abrogation
of the unit rule there were cheers from
the Wilson forces. Pennsylvania, a
Wilson state, gave a big majority for
the ~abrogation.
There had been reports during the
day of a growing sentiment in the New
York delegation in favor of Governor
Wilson. The delegation voted under
the unit rule in casting it's ballot
against the proposition fostered by the
New Jersey governors supporters.
The fight over the unit rule carried
the evening session well along toward
midnight. The report from the COM
