man, among them the swinging OF
Theodore A. Bell of California, tenn
porary chairman Of the Denver con-
vention of four years ago to the Muir
ply forces. Mr.. Bell led the opposition
to Bryan, and did not hesitate in de-
manding that the Nebraskan, to whom
the Democracy had given three oppor-
tunities, now step aside and permit
other leaders to shape the course of
the party.
After the vote Ex-Governor Pattison
many of the old leaders who had that
day voted against Bryan, when he
said:
"The defeat Of Mr.. Bryan, necessary
though it was, was an occasion for
tears rather than cheers. He has been
and is a great man, but he has had his
opportunity and must now step aside"
That Tuesday night following the
defeat of Mr.. Bryan will ever remain
a memorable one in Democratic his
tory. The great question of that night
was: us it to be bolt?"
Among the leaders for the various
candidates, the Clark forces instantly
realized that if the speaker was to
win he must do so in spite Of Mr..
Bryan opposition. The Wilson lead
ers knew they would have Bryan's
support, but would it suffice? Lead
ers Of other candidates were wonder
! ing what form the alignment would
take when the deadlock between Clark
and Wilson should be broken.
Mr. Bryan was named as a member
of the committee on resolutions, but
mittee The reason for his refusal
was explained on Thursday night,
when, after the permanent organiza-
! ton had been completed and Ollie
| James of Kentucky had delivered his
address as permanent chairman, Mr..
Bryan stepped to the front Of the
1 speakers platform and asked unani-
nous consent for the presentation Of
a resolution. But the convention was
/ faith, and cries of 'sNoi MOI" Read
it! Read the resolution" arose from
all parts Of the great hall
Mr.. Bryan, raising his voice so that
it filed the hall, and could be heard
despite the uproar, read:
Resolved, That we hereby declare
ourselves against the nomination of
any candidate representing or under
/ the domination of j. Pierpont Morgan,
Thomas F. Ryan, August Belmont or
any other member Of the favored or
privilege seeking class. Also that we
ask any delegate representing such an

interest be requested to withdraw"
1t is impossible for words to ex-
press the uproar and turmoil Of the
moment. Cheers, groans, catcails,
Kisses were mingled in one deafening
road.
Mr.. Bryan had again put the oppo-
sftion on the defensive.
"lIr Chairman! Mr. Chairman"
came the demands for recognition
from all portions of the nall, and Con
gresham Brice CT Virginia was recog-
nizad and invited to the speakers
stand
When a sambIance of order had
been restored, and before Mr.. Brice
had had an opportunity to speak, Mr.
Bryan announced that if New York
and Virginia would take a poll Of
their delegations, and if a majority Of
the delegates Of each state voted in
favor of Belmont and Ryan. he WoAld

duced into it all the elements of a

" spontaneous and amusing demon
stration Of the long week.

tions. ANY time Alfalfa Bill" wanted

withdraw the last paragraph of his
resolution.
NO! MOI" came the cries from the
delegations of the two states.
Raising his voice so as to be heard
above the uproar, Mr., Bryan stated
that two delegates from Virginia had
asked that such part of the last para
graph as applied to Virginia be with
drawn, and he would do so, and if one
delegate from New York would make
the same request for that state he
would withdraw the last paragraph
entirely.
Again came the cries of mo! Not"
accompanied by groans and Kisses.
The convention at that moment was
against Mr.. Bryan and his resolution
as originally read would have been
voted down, had the opportunity been
offered.
Brice succeeded in getting attention
and in the name Of the Virginia dele
cation offered defiance to the Com
moner, stating that no member Of the
the Virginia delegation had asked for
the withdrawal of any part of the
resolution; that Virginia was entirely
competent to handle it's internal af-
fairs, and would recognize no right of
Mr. Bryan to NEEDLE with her.
New York's policy of silence, a pol.
icy which was maintained throughout
the convention, remained unbroken
throughout the turmoil, which lasted
! for an hour.
Before the vote which had been
asked for on the suspension of the
rules could be taken Mr.. Bryan with
drew the last paragraph of his reso
luton, and the resolution was then
| passed practically unanimously.
The dramatic incident, probably the
most dramatic that has ever occurred
] in a national political convention, had
! but served to widen the breach be
tween the Bryan and Murphy forces
! If that were possible.
From the first to the ninth ballot
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1912-07-10

New York voted go for Harmon" and
Nebraska voted almost solidly for
Clark, as instructed by the state con-
vention, Mr.. Bryan, as a Nebraska
delegate-at-large following the in
structions UP to and including the
fourteenth ballot. On the tenth ballot
New York switched to 800 for Clark, F."
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 change
in his vote.
mo! mol" came the cries, and Con
gresham Sulzer Of New York, who
was presiding, ruled the Nebraskan
out Of order, and instructed him to
vote without an explanation
Despite my instructions, I 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
typewriter statement, saying he did
so for the reason that he did not want
to be misquoted. It 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-

REFORM PAPER FOR
AUGUSTATO EXPOSE
VIOLATION OF LAWS

AUGUSTA. GA, June 1o.-To ex-
pose what is termed political rotten
ness and uninterrupted law violation" a
weekly newspaper will be started in
Augusta within the next two weeks.
The paper is being planned principally
by a number of ministers who have
been very vigorous in their denuncia-
ton of local conditions According to
those authorized to speak of the policy
of this publication, it will shoot
straight from the shoulder and not
mince matters"
A stock company is being organized
and the paper will be operated for at
least a year, for there is that much
capital in sight exclusive of what may
be derived from circulation and adver-
Using. A number Of wealthy business
men, who are prohibitionists have
taken stock
