I that Wilson. in the event OF nomi
nation would suffer,
Up to Saturday, the delegates
| however, the smiles have glyer

| ing grows intense.
The attack on Speaker Clark by
Bryan who edited the platform yet
to be adopted and which contains
three planks laudng the Democrat
ic congress, for work well done IN
behalf of the people is looked upon
with general regret.
CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER
The convention was called to or
der promptly at 11:03 this morning.
Chairman James used his gayel Wig
orously. With a one-minute prayer,
the 9th ballot was ordered.
Senator Luke Lea. of Tennessee,
predicted Wilson would pass the
$40 mark early and be nominated
Before the day is over,
CLARK BLAMES BRYAN
Clark's friends were of the opin
ion that he would not come TO Bal
timore again.
Clarks followers charge that
Bryan was responsible for the con-
vention Withholding the nomination
from the speaker after it had given
him a majority and they declared
their unalterable opposition to any
one he supports.
His friends, it is understood, to-
day are more confident than ever
that he will be the ultimate choice.
TWENTYtSEVENTH, NO CHOICE
When the roll was completed on
the 9th ballot, there was no nomt-
nation.
Delegates John b. Stanchheld, OF
New York, in a bitter speech de-
nounced w. J. Bryan as "a money
grabbing, favor-hunting, marplot,
and said that no man stamped with
organism could have New York's
vote.
He said Bryan was opposed to
any candidate except Bryant
SAYS BRYAN is A "PLUTE."
Stanchiield, I'm explaining his vote
for Wilson said the vote of New
York is vital to Democratic success
and that no man can go forth from
this convention branded with tba
mark of Bryanism and come within
a half million votes OF success
when Bryan makes the statement
that these delegates from New
York are under the influence OF
Morgan and Rockefeller and Bel"
mont. the plutocrats of this convep-
ton, he omits to name one outside,
of those he named The richest ana
and most powerful pIutocrat on the
floor is the gentleman from Nebras-
ka himself. If the New York dele
cation is to be prevented from par
then any man who for
pay has been writing from the
floor of the republican convention
in favor OF Bry3n's partner and ally
lhl Theodore Roosevelt ought also
to be excluded said Stanchfeld
While Stanchiied spoke Bryan
him closely and smiled oo'
sasionally.
