Bryan Then Proposed.
When the District Of Columbia was
reached one Of the delegates proposed
William j. Bryan as vice presidential

the name was mentioned.
Bryan, sitting quietly in his seat in
the Nebraska section, was Immediately
surrounded by group Of supporters
urging him to pA'& For a time he
refused, sitting unmoyed in the midst
Of the storm Of disorder. But the uD-
roar increased and finally Bryan climb

Take the platform; take the plat
FORM" said the delegates
Surrounded by a small group Bryan
made his way to the stage and deliver
ed his valedictory.
As Bryan concluded, the roll call
for the vice presidential nomination
was ordered
Ballots Result Scattered.
The ballot showed widely scattered
vote, and 1t was apparent early IN the
roll call that there would be no nomi-
nation on the first ballot, Generally
the anti.Bryan delegates were inclin-
ed 10 support Marshall but the lines
were not sharply drawn. The Indlanan
took the lead, however, from the start
and many OF the Wilson.Bryan states
cast their votes for him,
The first ballot on the vice presiden'
tial nomination: Marshall 39S, Burke
3O5 ~, Chamberlain lj7
The remainder Of the vote was scat
tered among native sons,
Before the roll call was begun, a
Missouri delegate tried 10 move TO sus'
pend the rules and nominate Marshall
by acclamation. Bryan was on his feet
in a moment He made his way to.

CHEVY YCHASE NEEDS
ADDITIONAL SCHOOL

Citizens of Chevy Chase find them
selves in the same quandary as Park
View citizens regarding lack Of school
facilities. In order to reach some solu-
ton as to where the children of the
suburb are to receive instruction this
term, a meeting was held in the Chevy
Chase Library last night.
Two of the suggestions discussed were
the erection of a temporary school build
ing or to hire a wagon and drive the
children to Bethesda, Nd, to classes.
The proposed plans to meet the sit
uation were both objected to as unfeas-
ible, and the Montgomery County Voters
League appointed the following commit
tee to take the matter up with the county
commissioners Tuesday: William Nav.
Maj. Jerome B. Burke, Charles d. Cugle,
Charles w. Pimper, DR.. Thomas X. Con-
rad, Jesse W. Nicholson. George A.
Green, Michael Hogan, DR.. Wilbur G.
Evans and B. Ashly Leavell.
A committee of the Chevy Chase Citi-
zens' Association, Of Chevy Chase, will
accompany the committee. The joint
committees will hold another meeting
Monday evening to discuss plans to obtain
the needed school facilities.

and One Revolver Trophy
During Shoot.
COMPANY K SHOTS
LEAD ENTIRE FIELD
Windy Weather Seems to Effect
but Little the Excellent
Workmanship.

Yesterday saw the completion Of the
annual shoot Of the District National
Guard Though a strong breeze swept
across the range. necessitating a con-
slant use Of the wind gauge, a good
showing was made in all matches. Corp.
]. R. Fehr. of Company X. First In
fantry. showed unusual skill and YER
satility as a marksman by winning three
important and very difficult matches
the Smiley Individual skirmish. the Even
ing Star trophy. and the Brett revolver
matches.
Sergt. J. D. Schriver. Of the same COM
pany, won the Neumeyer match. an
event at 200 and loo yards. open only
to those who have the rank Of 'distin-
guished marksmen." and Sergt- A. J.
Schmidt. also Of Company K. carried Of
the Harris & Co. trophy. MAI. G. L.
TAFT. chief range officer. expressed the
opinion that the team OF Company K.
First Infantry. did better work than any
other organization on the field.
The event of most interest to specta-
tors was the Smiley individual skirmish
match. IN which the contestants advanced
at double tine, firing at intervals The
target. which represented man lying
prone bobbed up for a few seconds at
each fire and disappeared again. At the
ooo-yard line FIVE shots were fred In
twenty seconds. reproducing the condi-
tions Of a rapid fire volley IN the field.
Richardson Wins Trophy.
The brigade team skirmish match was
conducted In the same way, and was open
to teams from each battalion and regi-
rnent of the District National Guard.
Richardson, of the Second Infantry. won
the trophy with a score Of 70.
The Gerstenberg trophy match was
squadded competition at 1000 yards. open
to officers and enlisted men Of the guard.
Shooting at this distance, over half
mile, is a sport of great nicely. The
wind must be carefully allowed for. and
the result is watched through telescopes.
Private C. E. Groome. Company z. Sec
