can not possibly make his vuice heard
in the din.
John w. Price. of Virginia, is on the
platform waiting his chance to talk,
He gives way to Senator Vardaman
who begins, Fellow citizens" He be-
gins. but can not get attention for a
long time
Then he says: "A question so Vita
to the Democracy Of America must be
settled by reason, good common sense
head of black hair and says Bryan's
resolution contains, lin part. some mer-
it" Then he says it's all right except
the part about kicking out individual
Democrats. but agrees that the fewer
Belmonts and Ryans in the party the
better for the party in November
Bryan gets the floor. He knows how
to do that. and then yields to Price, OF
Virginia. This gentleman objects te
the kicking out suggestion from Bryan
but admires the first part of his resolu-
tion. which is rather hard on T. F
Ryan, denounced by name
Bryan Speaks Again.
Now Bryan makes another state
ment: Il shall modify my proposition
Virginia notifies me that she desires
the last part of my resolution with
drawn"
He goes on to say that If an author
lied member of the New York delega-
ton will rise and ask that the part
about Belmont be withdrawn he will
withdraw it. New York members yell
moi"
BRYAN says; 81 prefer to give New
York the opportunity. Does New York
want it?'
No answer Then Bryan says New
York can defend herself and he'll re-
serve the rest of his time to talk
later
Imagine bowling, cheering, kissing,
pounding with two gaves shouting
through megaphones by clerks. etc,
and you will help your mental picture
of the scene.
Elk Governor McCorkle, of Virginia.
is recognized and comes to the plat
form
He gets some silence and hearing
by polite bow to Bryan and the state
ment that he has been working for
years under Bryan's leadership He
opposes putting out the two individu-
ais.
New York's delegation sits quiet and
sullen while McCorkle surprises Bryan
by speaking of the latter's senseless
and foolish resolution. The look that
Bryan gives him would curdle milk, al
most
A great deal of yelling here. Nc
Corkle says he knows he will now be
denounced as owned by the interests, -
but he doesn't care. He says Bryan has
put success farther away than it was
half an hour ago" He wants "to drive
the money changers from the temple" a
little later, not just now
It's Good Fight.
1t ls a good fght-just the kind Of
troubled waters irN which Bryan swims
best. He has fooled the bosses by
smooth ways into just the course he
wanted them to take Now ne can go
ahead.

less. is cheered by Murphy's crowd.
Flood comes back to deny Bryan's
statement that Virginia had asked him
to recall his resolution to kick out
Ryan Flood denies Bryan's truthful
ness and says, Every man in Virginia
is as honest as william J. Bryan ever
was" which are hard words to use to a
peerless one.
Flood made it worse by saying that
the Democrats that sent Ryan here are
just as good Democrats as Mr. Bryan
ever dared to be"
Saying this, Flood turned to Bryan,
shaking his head and both hands at
Bryan. He says Bryans resolution is
IAN insolent proposition made by the
only man Bryan who wishes to de-
stroy the Democratic party
More hard words. We are to have a
real battlefield here, one that will make
