Norwich bulletin., 1912-06-26

SlDuIIy or Mr. Bryan being named de- l clare that he had his say in the con- vention today and failed to stampede it. MT. Bryan frequently was inter rupted in his remarks and it was re- garded as doubtful tonight whether he would get another hearing on any iS- sue involving himself
 MT. Bryan claimed the~right to speak today on the ground that in three pres idential campaigns he had borne aloft the banner of democracy as its presi- dential nominee Now that the fruits of victory were at hand, he said, he should not be denied an opportunity to repoice with his party. The democratic party, "a pillar of fire by night for the plain people, now that the dawn had come, should, he declared, be made "a pillar of clouds by day" Mir Bryan made another point which eIicited un- bounded enthusiasm from his hearers. He declared that the sinister infiu- ences which had been at work in the republican national convention at Chi cago were operating even more braz- enly at Baltimore. But, he added, the democratic party could not be run by the Ryans CT bought by the Belmonts (Mr. Bryan's speech Is printed on Page 2)
 Kern Asks Parker to Withdraw.
 MT. Bryan plainly was under stress as he made his plea to the convention to turn down the Wall street interests which, he declared, were represented in the selection of Judge Parker as temporary chairman. He advocated Senator John W. Kern of IndiaE chairman. The latter, taAink the hoor from the Nebraskan, dramatically called upon Judge Parker to withdraw with him from the fight, and in the , interests of harmony to throw his SUD- port to any one of half a dozen pro- greSsiYes named by the Bryan sympa- thizers. There was 10 immediate re- sponse to the open challenge in the convention and MT. Kern declared as 1t was fight to the death between | the interests and the people, Mir. Bryan was the only person fitted to bear the | brunt for the people. In behalf of | Judge Parker it later was stated that i as he had not sought the office at 1 the hands of the national committee and had taken no part in the fight. ha felt he had no right to withdraw.
 Bryan Awaiting Developments.
 Mir. Bryan left the convention hall by rear entrance soon after the vote on the temporary chairmanship was announced and resumed conferences in
 his rooms. Tonight he said:
 The vote in convention shows the | attitude of the convention and my speech shows my views on the sub ject. have no statement to make. 1

 tience. l do not know of anything that
 needs to be added"
 The Nebraskan did not attend the
 night session to hear Judge Parker's
 speech, but remained in his rooms to
 attend to correspondence and confer

 posed joining in the deliberations of
