Baltimore, June 2g-2.20 a. m.).-At m early hour this morning the demo- cratic national convention was in ses sion endeavoring to reach a first bal lot in the fight to nominate a presi- dential candidate
 After six hours of oratory and noisy demonstrations the names of Oscar w. Underwood, Champ Clark Simeon E. Baldwin and Woodrow Wilson were before the convention.
 May Reach Ballot by Daybreak.
 At 2.10 a. m. New Jersey was recog- nized to nominate Wilson and a wild demonstration began. Indications at that time were that first ballot would not be reached before daybreak.
 William Jennings Bryan last night led the democratic convention into a declaration of progressiveness unheard of in political history. The resolution introduced by him, which was passed by two- thirds ma jority, declared the convention opposed to the nomination of any candidate for president under obligation to J. Pierpont Morgan, Thomas P. Ryan. August Belmont or any privilege seeking class"
 Convention in Wild Furore.
 The convention was thrown into a ANA bAN bg tAE pluDDSlllOu. MnlC1 as originally introduced called for the withdrawal of Ryan and Belmont as delegates from Virginia and New York respectively This part of the resolu- ton- was resented as invading the rights Of sovereign states, and when its full import became known boos and catcalls jeers and misses were mingled with hsndclapping, cheers and Etarnpins of feet in the galleries and on the floor
 Representative H. D. Flood Of Vir- Sinia dramatically characterized the proposition as insolent, and said it came from "the only man who desired 10 destroy the democratic party
 Bryan Retains Hold on Party,
 Former Governor McCorkle of West Virginia called it foolish. Mir. BryaA made the situation even more dramat- ic by asking Virginia and New York 10 request q modification of the reso- lution. and when they scorned the suggestion he took the course himself
 From that moment sentiment changed. and the early voting indicat- cd that Mr. Bryan, as the exponent of progressiveness retained his hold up- on democracy.
 At a. m. the Wilson demonstration vas still in progress despite the fact that the nominating speech had not yet been delivered.

A LONG CONFERENCE
 IN THE THAW CASE
Judge contemplstss Change in Manned
 Of Conducting Hearing.

VI NNffNN~~fN
 White Plains, x. r.. June That a proposition has been made bo the at- torneys in the Thaw case by Supremg Court Justice Keogh looking toward a change in the manner of conducting 1t was apparent today when the ses- sion was given over entirely to con- ferences between the justice, William T. Jerome. special counsel for the state, and Clarence J. Shearn. chief counsel for Thaw. What the change will be is a. matter of conjecture. aa none of the principals in tho caes would say word about it
 It seems likely. however, that gudza Keogh wishes to call in allenlsts Of hla own choosing. as it is taken 70 be a foregone conclusion that three of the six alienists now concerned will saY Thaw is sane and three will say he ia not It ia thought also that JudEa Keogh may be desirous of having Thaw taken out of Nlatteawan ana confined in Bloomingdals asylum or elsewhere for one or two nonfhs, so that he may be watched by A eonnfnia- sion that would be named for the Dur - pase.
 The proposition, whatever it is. hnda favor with ThaW and his counsel. both appearing pleased with the turn of af- fairs Mir. Jerome, on the other hand was apparently ill satisfied with the new trend of the case.
 The case Is called again for tomor- row morning, at which time it is ex- pected Judge Keogh will make known his decision as to what shall b. done.

proud of the fact that North Dakota
farmers were progressive, prompt to
see the advantages of the new ideas
they presented and to put them into
practice.
As a matter of fact North Dakota
has made remarkable progress along
agricultural lines in the past decade.
This advance could not have been
made had not the state been blessed
with a farming community composed
of exceptionally bright and vigorous
men.
1t is an easy matter to criticise. For
instance, the statement is freely made,
often by a man who knows as little
about practical farming as he knows
about operating a flying machine, that
the farmers should have stacked their
grain this fall. This might seem like
the logical thing to do.
But in this issue of The Forum
Prof. H. L. Bolley of the A. G. gives
something of the other side Of the
question. He states that stacking is
an expensive proposition-moreever,
with the continued wet weather this
fall it was a dangerous undertaking
to put the damp grain into stacks.
The cock.sure crlLlcism of the city
man must sometimes make the farmer
smile.-Fargo Forum.
