SEATTLE, June 29.-'I saw
Judge Hanford intoxicated-he
was staggering toward me as I
was standing one Sunday in Sep
tember or October, 1911, in front
of the public library. This was
about 6 o'clock in the evening. His
condition was such that he was
either very drunk or very i'll. He
staggered from one side of the
street to the other.
Il did not follow Judge Han
ford but l observed his stagger-
ing walk for some distance. Once
he danced off into the gutter"

BALTIMORE, Md, June 3D.
Before the fifth session of the
democratic convention was called
to order by Chairman James at
100 p. IN. today the ultimatum
to the Clark managers to put
Clark over as quickly as possible
put the delegates in wild state
of disorder, all expecting that
something big was going to hap
pen soon. The scattered votes of
Underwood and Marshall suddenly
became the center of attraction.
Desperate efforts were made by
both the Clark and Wilson field
managers to swing the Indiana
delegation of thirty into their col
unln, but following caucus of the
Indiana delegation the Hoosiers
refused to make any statement as
to who would get their support,
once they decide to quit Marshall.

THE New York vote cast un-
der the unit rule does not repre-
sent the intelligence, the honesty

men who are here. 1t represents

fluence that dominated the recent
conference at Chicago and are try

Bryan concluded amidst a per-
feet furore Of cheers from the gal
leries and very small portion of
the delegates. The majority of
the delegates, especially those
from the South and East who were
denouncing the Nebraskan and at
least dozen were crying that he
had ruined the party.
Congressman Fitzgerald was
demanding recognition when Char
lie White, Murphy's messenger,
whispered in his ear.
Fitzgerald at once desisted
from his attempt to reply to
Bryan and hurried back to his
seat near the Tammany leaders

Yes, I had emotions. The

You can't take an emotion and
