He said he would withdraw the last

There were calls for roll clerk who

Thomas Taggart spoke to Chairman

The police appeared III the main aisle
and husiled the delegates to their seats.
The novel and unexpected proposition

Bryan seemed To regard the passage
OF his resolution rs the turning point IN
his fight against the so-cal'ed reaction
aries. His face beamed AZ delegation
after delegation fell in line for the measure.
The influence Of the reactionnrcs in
this convention has been eliminated" he
said. "We can now go out and win with
n progressive candidate standing on a
progressive platform"
When Thomas r. Ryan was sought out
among the Virginia delegates and asked
IL he had any comment To make on Bryan, {,

Belmont out of the Democratic party
he said with smile and "A wave of his
hand to dismiss the subject: "None what

he replied: NO"
Both men refused to answer any other
questions.

added -The resolution is agreed to-"
There was a medley of cheers and

A delegate from Indiana. Major G. V,

of a candidate for President and Chair
man James directed the calling of the roll
Of States.
Alabama was recognized and William
b. Bankhead Of that State, "a son of Sena-
tor Bankhead. arose to nominate Oscar
W. Underwood. 1t was 1856 p. NJ.
MIR. Underwood appeals TO every type
Of voters" he said @It is gratifying To
know that sectional differences have
been forgotten and that Mason and
Dixon's lines has been obliterated." His
main argument was that the time had
passed when sectional feeling had any
bearing on the naming of IA candidate.
There was an instant demonstration,

CR0SS-COUNTRY RUNNERS.
Cracks Of This Country Invited to
Compete in France.

NEW YORK, October 19.-Promoters OF
amateur sport in France are planning to
invite team of American cross-country
runners across the big pond in the spring
of 1913 to take part In the annual inter-
national hill and dale championship, that
is. annua.y a big athletic feature In
Europe now. This race, which was first
run as dual affair between the French
and English athletes about six years ago.
has bro. 1ned out, and is now opened
annually 20 athletes from nearly all Of
the cont.nenta. nations. England has
won the team prize every year so far,
but the individual prize has more than
once gone to Frenchmen. Jean Bouin,
the sturdy athlete who halls rom Mar
seille in the south of France, led the
both 1911 and 1917.
The Frenchmen are more than anxious
to have a Yannee team in the running
In 1919. During the Olympic games at
Stockholm Bouin persistent.y codXed the
Americans to consider seriously sending
a team to Paris for the International
race next April and since his return to
France he has been busy trying to work
up a plan to insure the presence OF an
American team In the big race. In
letter, written to a man In New York re-
Gently, close friend of Bouin'S states
that the speedy Frenchman still harbors
the hope that America will send a team
to take part in the hill and dale CHAM
pionship of Europe.

lean girl has just gone TO England To

paud. This was negotiated recently by
an Englishnfan. but 10 EnSlish woman
has yet attempted the victory of that
channel which is known to all who have
yoyaged il in vessels to be one of the
most eXhausting. If the American girl
makes the swimming it will be another

In the presence of daily reports Of
