opponents dispute this contention and
acknowledge he may get some more

kern's Hat In the Ring.
The appearance Of Senator John w.
Kern In the arena as l presidential
possibility was one Of the most in
teresting Developments. Senator Lea
of Tennessee went to Tom Taggart,
national committeeman from Indiana,
and suggested a meeting be held of
the leaders and Kern be put forward
as a candidate. Lea said that Sen
ator Kern would be acceptable to Mr.,
Bryan. Taggart then sent for Sen
ator Kern and suggested he confer
with Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Kern saw Bry-
an and reported back to Taggart that
Bryan had advised against his becom-
ing Il candidate. Subsequently Sen
ator Lea conferred with Bryan. He
returned and said Bryan had changed
his mind and that II New York state,
Indiana and other eastern states would
fall In behind Kern he would be glad
to indorse him.
The proposition was carried to
Charles F. Murphy. leader of the New
York delegation, and after being con
sidered by him Murphy said that New
York state would not support Kern.
Upon the announcement of Muir

line ceased for the time being.

Story of the Day Session.


Baltimore, June 27.-When the con
ventiOn opened for the second day
there was actually interest shown in
the delegations and on the side lines.
There was a notion that the dramatic
downfall of Mr.. Bryan on Tuesday aft
ernoon might be followed by tiresome
proceedings. 1t didn't work out that
way at all. The queer turn of the
game which lined up Hearst and Muir
oily against Hearst's old time partner,
Bryan, and the effect their arrange
nents might have on the chances of
o~andidates caused speculative interest
n the proceedings.
One Of the leaders upon whom eyes
were leveled was the spare and neat
Kern of Indiana. Another, Luke Lea.
whose frank and fair battle for Bryan
and whose winning personality has
earned him something of the kind of a
reputation made by Governor Hadley
of Missouri in the Republican national
convention, found that he had become
a popular figure overnight. Judge
Parker, the temporary chairman, while
unable to draw the applause hat usu-
ally goes with the job, was pleased to
see that the temper of the convention
has sweetened toward him. Particular
interest was shown by the assemblage
in the New York man. The delegation
seemed to be thinned out q little.
Mr.. "Hinkey Dink' Kenna of Chica-
go entered explosively along with a
crew Of Roger S%ullivan's trained dele

fairly lift the roof when he gets a
good hitch in his galluses, divided in
with Alfalfa Bill Murray and the
fire eaters of the Oklahoma delega-
ton. Alfalfa Bill was greeted with
an enthusiastic yell from the Nebras-
kans.
The same lack of cheering marked
the assembling of the convention that
marked the preliminaries. 1t was too

Next Henry D. Clayton of Alabama
turned loose a speech in which among
other things, he advocated suffrage TOT
women. He was indiscreet enough to
saw that he couldn't tell who would
get the nomination, and every delegate
on the floor rose up ready to inform
him. There were wild yells for all the
candidates. The Wilson men were the
quickest to seize an advantage.
As a matter Of habit the New York
delegates got up from respect, where.
upon the Wilson men howfed with ce-
light. But the New Workers dropped
back In their seats hurriedly when
they saw the maneuver. The racket
continued some time when Sergeant at
Arms Martin threatened to call the-po1
lice. The demonstration finally petered
out after about ten minutes.
The Champ Clark people tried to stir
things up later, but they could not turn
the trick. Nobody was much surprised,
because it was a matter Of common
knowledge that many of the CLARK
delegates were so sore over Clarks de-
sertion of Mr.. Bryan that they had
torn off their badges and had thrown
them away. Senator Gore of Oklaho-
ma was led to the platform. He was
warmly a%pplauded. Gore was the only
speaker who managed to\hold the at
tention of the crowd from the first to
last. He told them that the Republic
an party was a goner, that 1t was half
alive and half dead and that only
Democratic suicide could save it.

that the committee on credentials

motion went through enthusiastically.
Judge Parker then announced that
the delegates would have a chance to

gentlemen in the United States of
America. loud cheers.
First to show was the ex-governor Of
Missouri, Joseph w. Folk. He told the
delegates that the nominee Of this con
vention would be the next president.

ed to wealth." said Governor Folk.
Judge Parker raped vigorously for
order. Mr.. Folk finally finished, and
Senator Isidor Rayner of Maryland
was called to the platform and invited
to speak.

that there would be in action this year

that people keep their seats.
Senator John Sharp Williams got the
attention of the audience at once only
to be interrupted by Governor Brewer
of Mississippi, who asked this question:
"Do l understand you to say that
delegates should vote as instructed at
the primary or elected by the ave
ton? My question is, who got the
primary vote in Ohio?'
Very childish" was the response of
Senator Williams. He said that per-
sonally that he was for one presiden-
tial candidate, but he was instructed
for another, and he would vote for the
candidate for whom he was instructed

A delegate fred a question at Parker

the substance of the call for the pri-

An effort was made to stop the demon

Star Spangled Banner" Everybody,
the delegates and the galleries, stood.
But when the band stopped only a
few of the delegates sat down. An
other trial was made by the band, this

began cheering frantically. An Ala

is won.
At S O'Clock last night the cam

mark, the amount necessary TO insure
baseball in Hannibal in 1912.
President Mason and Mr.. Kohler,
who composed the soliciting commit

citizens and fans responded nobly to
the call.
The raising of the fund shows what
pluck, perseverance and enthusiasm
can accomplish When Messrs. Ma;
son and KohIer started out to secure
pledges TO the amount of $500 many
persons said that they would never
reach the mark and that baseball In
Hannibal for 1912 was dead. The gen
flemen we're not to be discouraged
but they began working quietly, they
explained the situation and in very
short time they found that baseball
was far from dead in this vicinity.
They stirred up lots of enthusiasm
and finally wound up the campaign in
blaze OF victory.
The lions share OF the credit for
raising the fund properly belongs TO
Mr. Mason He was cheerful and
smiling when every other person felt
