some press correspondents took a
hand. Then the police separated the
bellgerents and later A. NJ Dockery
and Dave Francis sent apologies to
Bryan, disclaiming for the Missouri
delegation any connection with the
banner.

ing ballots the vote of the governor
rapidly increased. After the forty
fifth Senator Bankhead arose and
withdrew the name of Oscar Under
wood. THAT means Wilson," said the
managers for Clark. Then Governor
Foss name also was withdrawn,
whereupon Senator Stone and e1-
Governor Francis gave up hope for
the speaker. They formally released
the Clark delegates from their pledges,
and It seemed all over but the shout
ing. But the Tammany bunch and
some others were still stubborn and
Fitzgerald of New York objected to
the unanimous nomination Of Wilson
by acclamation. So further calling of
the roll was necessary.
Every strategy known in political
generalship was tried to stampede the
convention for the different candi-
dates. No convention in the history
of this country has seen such wild
demonstrations as have been wit
messed in this one at Baltimore.
While Tuesdays dramatic incident,
arising over the selection Of tenn
porary chairman, was the cause of
almost unprecedented turmoil, there
was nothing even bordering on dem
onstration. It was just plain fight
not enthusiasm.
Even the speech Of Temporary
Chairman Parker did not arouse the
response so characteristic Of Demo
cratic conventions Of the past, and the
convention showed nothing but fight
ing mood until after the incident Of
the Bryan resolution Of Thursday eve
ming and the beginning Of the nomi-
mating speeches.

New York voted "9O for Harmon" and
Nebraska voted almost solidly for

vention, Mr.. Bryan, as Nebraska
delegate-at-large, following the in
structions up to and including the

causing a Clark demonstration. The
balloting continued without serious
interruption until Nebraska was call
ed on the fifteenth, when Mr.. Bryan
arose from his seat on the floor and
asked permission to explain a change
In his vote.
"No! MOI" came the cries. and Con-
gressman Sulzer Of New York, who
was presiding, ruled the Nebraskan
out of order, and instructed him to
vote without an explanation.
Despite my instructions, l will not
vote for Clark so long as New York
votes for him." yelled Mr.. Bryan, and
pandemonium was again loose in the
great convention.
The unanimous consent which Mr..
Bryan had asked was finally granted
at the request Of Senator Stone Of
Missouri.
From the platform Mr.. Bryan read

so for the reason that he did not want
to be misquoted. 1t was a scathing
arraignment of Murphy and the inter-
ests Bryan claims Murphy represents.
and another effort to read Tammany
out Of the Democratic party. He re-
ferred to his resolution which the con-
vention had passed on Thursday night,
and said no candidate the party might
nominate with the assistance Of the
New York delegation voting as unit
under the direction of Murphy would
be in position to carry out the prom
ises Of that resolution.
The reading of his statement was
interrupted time after time before 1t

Darker the Hair
A Little Sage and Sulphur
Makes Gray Hair Van
,ish-A Remedy for
All Hair Troubles.

Who does not know the value
of Sage and Sulphur for keeping
the hair dark, soft and glossy
and in good condition? AS a
matter of fact, Sulphur is a
natural element of bair, and a
deficiency of it in the hair is
held by many scalp specialists
to be connected with loss of
color and vitality Of the hair.
Unauestionably, there is no bet
ter remedy for hair and scalp
troubles. especially premature
grayness, than Sage and Sulphur,
If properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Com
pany of New York put out an
ideal preparation of this kind,
called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, in which Sage and
sulphur are combined with other
valuable remedies for keeping
the hair, and scalp in clean,
healthy condition.
If your hair is losing its color
or constantly coming out, or if
YOU are troubled with dandruff
or dry, itchy scalp, get fifty
cent bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist,
use it according to the simple
directions, and see what a differ
ence a few days treatment will
make in the appearance of your
hair.
All druggists sell it, under
guarantee that the money will
be refunded If the remedy is
not exactly as represented.
