over the actions of the convention.
At stage of the proceedings he attempted to have
Ryan and Belmont thrown out of the convention but
meeting with storm of protest. he modified his resolu-
ton to committing the convention refusal nominate
any under the influence of the Bemont-Wal-
street interests, which the convention adopted.
Mr.. Bryans withdrawal of support from Speaker Clark
evidently weakened the Speakers chances, while
supporters of Governor Wilson claim that their candidates
the Bryan support though subsequent developments have
apparently disproved this theory.
The Speaker and Mr. Bryan have been close personal
and political friends for many years. and Mr. Bryan had
previous to the convention lent open encouragement
candidacy of the Missouran The Commoner based his
withdrawal of support the ground that he would not
favor any supported by New Yoks 90 votes unless
such candidate could receive the nomination by vote
which would be sufficient without the New York dele
cation.
So much has taken place at the convention without any
definite action that is impossible for this week to give
anything like complete account of the proceedings but
will endeavor to give fuller description of the con-
vention in the next issue.
