There will be no compromise with

gressives in the democratic national
convention, made that fact very plain
on the train here today.
Not only will he insist on progress
sive being nominated, but the fight
will be on the very minute the Ne
braska leader reaches the monumental
city tomorrow. He plans to start the
fight at once. He plans to keep it up
until a progressive platform and pro-

I'VE have exhausted every known

principles OF our government was so
sudden and unexpected that time was
not given clearly to show to the peo-
pie and the party the dangers which
confronted them.
1t was sought to break the wise
and valuable tradition against giving
more than two terms to any man in
the presidency and the danger from
which breach could not be measured.
THE Importance of the great vic
tory which has been achieved cannot
be over-estimated. All over this coun-
try patriotic people tonight are breath
ing more freely that most serious
menace to our republican institutions
have been averted.
ut is not necessary tonight to
speak of the result in November or OF
the issues which will arise between
the republican and democratic parties
in the presidential campaign to fol-
low. 1t will be time to do that after
the action of the Baltimore conyen-
ton, 1t is enough now to say what
ever may happen in November, a
great victory for the republican party
and the people of the United States
has already been won. The party re-
mains as a great powerful organiza-
ton for carrying out its patriotic
principles as an agency of real pro-
gress in the development of the ma
tion along the constitution lines on
which 1t was constructed and Its
future opportunity for usefulness is as
great as its achievements in the
past"

the democrats the benefit of the real
support, Bryan will fight to
the last ditch to make the democratic
party, II possible, the party to which
the anti-Taft republican progressives
in the middle west can turn.
Colonel Bryan in discussing his
plans said: ~ don't care to discuss
the situation What l have done has
been done in the interests of harmony
AS you will see from my telegram to
the presidential candidates, | did not
attempt to name any person for the
place but urged that the convention
find temporary chairman, a gentle
man suitable to the two leading cam
didates and thus make sure of har-
monious opening of the convention.
Instead. the subcommittee selected
reactionary to open a progressive con-
vention. Surely no intelligent man
could believe that such move was in
the interests of harmony at time
like this. | hope that the full COM
mittee will select some man in har-
mony with the majority sentiment Of
the convention"
On board the same train with Bryan
is Governor James Hawley and the
Idaho delegates at large to the Balti-
more convention.
Bryan is due in Baltimore at 800
O'clock Sunday afternoon.

Starting the Celebration.

I.
The first mention OF Taft's name
by Warren G. Harding in the nominat-
ing speech was the signal for wild
demonstration on the floor, and in the
balconies.
When Mr.. Harding first men
TONED Taft's name, the Taft
delegates and hundreds in the
balconies jumped to their feet
with pandemonium of cheers.
The Roosevelt delegates sat stolid-
ly In their seats. So did the Wis
consin delegates.
Jeers and taunts OF the Roosevelt
men were drowned In the clamor.
Senator Root remained seated but
almost every other notable on the
stage joined in the cheering.
The Taft states began parading the
aisles. Wrenching the signs which
specified their state names from the
standards enthusiastic delegates pour
ed into the aisles, shouting wildly. A
red banner, with the. we'll known fea.
lures Of the chief executive was pass

Ohioan waved 1t while a reverberat-
ing chorus Of cheers rocked the build.

Thayer, assistant sergeant-at-arms,
pulled out Of his pocket a gold franz
ed picture OF Taft, and this was the
signal for another wild outburst.
Chairman Root raped vainly for or
der, but the blow of the gavel went
unheeded, and unheard in the din.
Sergeant-at-arrns Stone rushed out,
ard forced the lowering of the rcd
Taft banner, and the pocketing of the
picture by Thayer. The din kept on.
In groups here. and there, men stood
on their chairs, and shouted in COM
pelling Unison, TAFT Taft"
An aged woman who gave the name
of Gardiner came to the front of the
stage, seized the red banner, and a
renewed and deaIening outburst fol-
lowed, as she waved the banner in
the air.
A moment later when Harding made
reference to the president as the
greatest progressive of his time, the
demonstration threatened to break
ou4 anew. chorus of cheers that
swelled louder and louder, was only
stopped by an incipient riot that
broke out In the aSle adjacent to the

Every sentence delivered by Cover

applause. Cries of ''for vice president

many in the audience.
Governor Johnson spoke of New

the empire state darkest America y
He said that "even New York must
soon see the principles of the direct
primary which has come from the
west and is sweeping toward the east
