 Session Saturday Night

BALTIMORE, Md, June 27-Sen- ator-elect Ollie James of Kentucky was elected permanent chairman of the democratic national convention adopted the report of the committee on permanent organization. James was escorted to the platform amid rapturous applause and began his speech in which he scored Theodore Roosevelt
 Bryan received cheer as Chairman James referred to him as one who 16 years ago pioneered from the wilder ness the way of progressivism. The convention at 3:45 recessed until s, after completing the permanent or ganization
 Shortly before the recess Senator LaFollette appeared among the dele gates and was escorted to a seat on the platform.
 James referred to the progressive policies of Roosevelt and the manner in which they were carried out by Taft.
 Taft would not take the time to carry them out" he said, ''but kick ' ed out the Roosevelt policies.
 Alton B. Parker, temporary chair man of the Democratic national con- vention mounted the platform at 12:-- 10 this afternoon and by 12:10 all the delegates were in their places. The crowds showed great animation, the galleries being brimful and all were prepared for a long and exciting ess- SiOn

 This part of the resolution was presented as invading the rights of sovereign states and when it's full import became known booS and cat calls, jeers and misses were mingled with the clapping, cheers and stamp ing of feet in the galleries and on the floor. Representative H. D. l Flood, of Virginia, dramatically char acterized the proposition as insolent l and said it came from the only man who desired to destroy the demo- cratic party"
 Former Governor M'Corkle of West | Virginia, called it foolish. MT. Bry- an made the situation even more i dramatic by asking Virginia and New York to request a modification of the
