Word came to the delegation after it

would come on and take his place on

BALTIMORE. June 27.-Every little
delegate has an opinion all his own in
this town today, so far as the probable
nominee of the party is concerned, but
the great majority of them believe he
will be Champ Clark, of Missouri
The Georgia delegation is still firm in
its determination to stick to Under
wood so long as there is an Underwood
candidacy to stick to, but the Geor-
gians realize that there may come a
time when Underwood's name will be
Withdrawn. or through force of cir
cumstances necessarily abandoned
When that time comes the Georgia del
egation will swing into line for the
Missouri man, along with enough dele
gates to insure Clark's nomination.
Last nights session of the conven-
ton was an extremely noisy one. The

ton is concerned, last nights session

reasons. First. because Clark is the

him.

AS New York Is one of the big doubt

this outpouring OF politeness than any

But what interested the delegates
most is the conversation of harmony.
Each delegate feels that his candidate
Is sure to win on the fourth or fifth
ballot with the aid of the delegates won
from other candidates. and. therefore,
each delegate is doing all he can TO be
nice TO every other delegate.
After the acrimonious scenes in Chi
caso, it's JOY to see so many Al
phonses and Gastons. Perhaps the sur
roundings have something to do with 1t,
for all the Baltimoreans display typical
Southern courtesy.
The facilities Of the city are entirely
inadequate to handle the crowd that
has gathered The discomfort Of the
perspiring throng makes this politeness
all the more conspicuous
It's In the Very Air.
A Clark delegate comes face to face

is the Wilson man speaking But the
Clark man slaps him on the shoulder

And then an Underwood man tells
one of them:

of possibly mourning the resentment oil
