Convention Resumes at Noon
With Delegates in Angry
Mood Over Long Struggle

BALTIMORE. Nd. July 2.-Follow-
Ing series OF conferences that lasted
nearly to noon, participated In by
nearly all OF the anti-Bryan forces In
the Democratic national convention. Il
was decided that a supremt enort
would be made to nominate today,

shown there is absolutely no hope Of

With this end in view the Clark
men began determined effort 70 re-
claim from the Wilson camp the dele
gates who had gone over to the Cow
ernor. Wheer the unit rule has pre-
vailed pressure was being brought TO
bear to have the majority OF the dele
gates agree to 20 back To Clark and
cast at least one more vote for him.
Then, IL II was found that there was
no chance of putting the Speaker
over. the votes were to be thrown
over to Underwood The total Clarg
strength, it was pointed out, added
to that Underwood already possessed
SO far In the lead that a "bandwag0n'
rush might easily be started for him.
With bitterness engendered among
the delegates which seemed likely TO
precipitate riot at any moment, the
deadlocked Democratic national con-
vention today resumed at noon its ef-
forts to select presidential nomi-
nee. The situation today was changed
from that of yesterday only In that
the leaders believed the maximurn
strength Of Gov Wilson has been ex'
posed. They insisted that he, like
Clark, had shown his best effort and
that from this time he would follow
his chief rival backward. Today the
fact was driven. into the men who
most name the ticket, while either
Clark or Wilson has plenty OF
strength to kill OF his rival, neither
has strength to force his own nom
ination.
Michigan voted 81 for Wilson and
three for Clark on the thirty-ffth bal
lot last night. Messrs. Nagel, Burns
and Lown refused to get on the New
Jersey progressive's bandwagon. IL
had been expected that Illinois would
swing 5S votes to Wilson soon after
Michigan's action. but the delegation
headed by Roger Sullivan. held a cati-
Gus and decided TO continue to sup-
port Clark for the present. On the
forty-second rcll-call Michigan gave

BY JAMES scHERNERHoRN.

BALTIMORE, Nd, July I'm pre-
dieting a successful washday for the
Democracy yesterday, / forgot that
there must also be an ironing day.
This Is ironing day. There are a lot
OF wrinkles to be pressed out OF the
party wash before Miss Democracy
Will be able 10 put on her clean
clothes for the Fourth OF July.
For one thing, Mrs. Murphy her
self. didn't help at all yesterday. but
visited all day over the back feIce
with Champ Clark. The more Bryan
opposes, the more Mrs. Murphy pur-
poses TO remain firm. Michigan,
Iowa, Indiana, and several other
states did nobly on the laundry list
marked "W. W." but Illinois and the
states with favorite sons on their
hands, held back. So the best the
New Jersey governor could do was
to pas sthe 500 mark gain OF 100
for the day.
While the whole country is lauding
Bryan for the great fight he has made
for progressiveness here, his name ts
anathema TO a majority OF the dee
gates. They curse him for prolohg-
ing the proceedings by projecting
genuine progressive principles into
what promised TO be short snd
sweet love-feast Some say that ne
has thrown the fiat-iron clean through
the "Godd bless our party" motto and
nothing will come of yesterday swash
day or today's ironing day but strife
and division. The compromise can
didates that have been suggested
have nothing in them to stir the
blood. II Wilson or Bryan cannot lie
nominated, the progressives feel they
will have TO send the things out 20
the third party washer.
The Michigan delegation finally de-
cided to represent the state on the
thirty-fifth ballot when they gave
Wilson 7votes and Clark three This
was gratifying to the Wilson leaders
who have been trying to impress the
Harmon and Clark supporters with
The advantage of picking Wilson and
winning, rather than the selection OF
Clark or compromise candidate and
handing the victory to Taft or Roose-
welt.
On the last ballot, Monday night,
the Clark men thought they saw
signs OF returning life in the speak
er's waning candidacy and seven OF
the Michigan delegation returned 10

day, they would so back to Wilson
