THIS ACTION is A STEP IN
HIS FAVOR
is UP TO The STATES
DELEGATES SELECTED AND IN
sTRUcTED BY CONVENTIONS
MUST OBSERVE RULE

Baltimore, June 27-The effect o.
the action OF the democratic national
convention last night in amending the
rule making it binding on delegations
to adhere to the unit rule was the
subject of wide discussion today.
Though different views of the con
ventions action were expressed by
party leaders, the actual effect Of the
amendment was explained by Charles
R, Crisp. parliamentarian Of the house
Of representatives, who is acting as
parliamentary clerk to the convention.
''The action of the convention in
adopting the report of the committee
on rules" said Mr.. Crisp, will be to
bind to the unit rule all delegates
elected by state conventions where
the state applies the unit rule. Dele
gates who were elected by congress
sional districts or in preferential pri-
maries will not be bound by the unit
rule under the amendment to the
rules
Supporters of Governor Woodrow
Wilson claim their candidates will
gain many votes by this action be-
sides the IS which he will gain from
Ohio.

ed that the Nebraskan apparently was
content with the position he now oc-
cupies in the convention, the right
to name the candidate being all but
conceded to him.
Supporters of Chafp Clark were
claiming the nomination wits as much
outward confidence as ever as they
gathered for the days session.
Dark horse" talk died away lit
tie today. There appeared to be con
Gus of opinion that the fight lay
among the supporters of Wilson,
Clark and Bryan. Mr.. Bryan had not
committed himself on the question of
the presidency in any way up to the
time the convention met.
The order of business as the con
veRtion met was further considered
of the report of the committee on
credentials. The majority report was
presented last night The majority
had unseated ten Wilson delegates in
South Dakota and given their places
to Clark men, and this was expected
to precipitate lively fight.
Then the report OF the committee
on permanent organization was sched-
uled to be taken up, with the con
vention ready to ratify by acclama-
tion the choice of Senator-Flect oHie
NJ. James of Kentucky, as permanent
chairman.
The delegates looked forward to
the long series of nominating and
seconding speeches and finally to the
balloting on the presidential candi-
dates. No one expected a choice on
the first ballot, but the lineup on the
initial vote was awaited with keen
est interest. A big squad of police
filed in and the sergeant-at-arms sta
toned policemen ten feet apart in
every aisle Despite added forces the
sergeant-at-arms was unable to pre-
vent crowding in the aisles.
Chairman Parker mounted the plar-
form at 1910 and conferred with
Parliamentarian Crisp and Senator
John Sharp Williams Of Mississippi,
leader of the Bryan-Wilson forces.
There was an excited conference in
the Missouri delegation.
Senator Luke Lea, leader Of the
Bryan forces, former Senator Dubois,
Senator Stone and former Governor
David Francis were discussing what
Senator Lea termed "thc South Da-
kota steal"
When the group broke up Senator
Lea hurried to the platform to plan
the fight on the credentials majority

night KILLS man
LUcERo CITIZEN SLAYs INTRUD.
Err WHO HAD CONE ON HIS
PREMISES

A somewhat vague account of a
killing which occurred in Lucero, a
small settlement near Mora, last Sun
day night, was received in Las Vegas
today. A man named Padeo Medina
was the unfortunate victim. Accord
ing to the story. Medina was prowling
about a house in Lucero when its oc-
cupant inquired what he was doing
there Medina refused to answer.
Then the householder picked up a
stone and hurled it in the direction
in which Medina's footsteps were
heard. Unfortunately the missile
struck the man on the head, killing
him instantly. The householder, whose
name was not learned, had no inten-
tion of striking Medina but wished to
frighten him away. 1t is understood
the Mora county authorities will hold
an inquest and make other efforts
to learn details of the killing.
1t is reported that a Mora citizen
was found a short time since in the
corral of Luciano Gailegos. The lat
ter asked the intruder what he was
doing there and demanded that he
give his name. The intruder replied:
Don't shoot! It is me-" averting a
probable killing, as Luciano was pre-
pared to shoot. Had the intruder at
Iucero replied to the inquiry of the
householder he doubtless would have
saved his life.

Baltimore, June 27.-The Bryan
Wilson progressives won another vic
tory in the democratic coavontion to-
day when the delegates overturned
the report of the credentials commit
tee and seated ten Wilson delegates
from South Dakota. The Wilson sup
porters claimed that the vote made
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson a
practical certainty.
New York's 30 votes, which yester-
dav went to the Clark-Harmon combi-
nation, today we're cast in a block
for the Wilson delegates. The an
nouncement Of New York's vote was
greeted with cheers from the Wilson
delegates. Tumult interrupted the
convention during the debate of the
report of the credentials committee.
The Wilson adherents started the de-
monstration and the Clark, Underwood
and other factions, not to be outdone,
at once took it up. The uproar be
came general, floor and galleries stand
ing on chairs and yelling madly.
Hundreds of policemen endeavored
vainly for nearly 20 minutes to check
the demonstration.
Myriad banners Of all sizes and
hundreds of Autographs Of the various
candidates were raised. The Missou-
ri and New Jersey standards were
torn from the clamps and a disorgan-
lied struggling procession filled the
aisles. Several women appeared on
the floor during the demonstration.
The galleries, crowded with partisans
were quieted with great difficulty. The
demonstration lasted 20 minutes.
The democratic national convention
was called to order this afternoon at
12:45 O'Clock. Among the notable
personages present was Mrs. William
H. Taft, wife of the president. Mrs.
Taft was accompanied by party of
ladies', who took seats in one of the
boxes Immediately thanking the plat
form.
The delegates to the democratic ma
tional convention filed into the con-
vention hall today prepared for a
long and exciting session. 1t was ex-
.pected to be the day of the climax,
the end Of the long campaign waged
by the presidential aspirants. These
delegates apparently were as much at
sea as ever as to who would be the
nominee.
All sorts of rumors were afloat as
to deals and combinations but not one
of these seemed to have trustworthy
foundation. The supporters Of Wood
row Wilson, heartened by the so-called
"wilson-Bryan" victory last night in
the fight for the ahrogation Of the
unit rule in binding all the members
of a state delegation to the views of
the majority in the delegation, were
claiming that the New Jersey COVER

BRYAN GUIDES THE
GIFTED NEBRAskAN WILL WI
THE PLATFORM FOR THi
CONVENTION.
REFERENDUM and RECALL
THESE PROGRESSIVE DOCTRINES
WILL BE GIVEN INFEREN-
TiAL APPROVAL,

Baltimore, June 27.--Mr, Bryan and
Senator O'Gorman Of New York win
write the platform Of the democratic
national convention.
When the working subcommittee
of the committee on resolutions m@B
today the members found THEMSELVES
without a platform draft of sufficient
cohesiveness to form basis for the
committees operations and con-
clusion was arrived at speedily to ap-
point second subcommittee to pre-
pare a draft for the convenience OF
the subcommittee and later Of the
full committee, and MIR. Bryan and
O'Gorman, we're designated to per-
form that service.
The subcommittee then adjourned
with the understanding thar it would
reconvene at 4 o'clock and that the
full committee would be called to-
gether at o'clock this evening.
Before beginning his work Mr.. Bry-
an told some Of his friends that the
platform would b "an essentially
progressive document"
Especial stress viii n Rlaid on the
plank which win declare for q tariff
for revenue only. The democratic
house of representatives win be com
mended for its work in the downward
revision of the tariff and the party
will be pledged to continue this labor.
The attitude of the president win be
condemned and the republican party
charged with breach Of faith in fail
ing to perform its promises of four
years ago.
Referendum and recall will be in
ferentially indorsed as progressive
measures, but the carrying out OF
these plans of government will be le-
gated to the party in the various
states. Planks strongly indorsing an
income tax, the direct eTecuon of sem
ators and primary elections are ex-
pected.
Bryan is Facetious
William Jennings Bryan remarked
before leaving to attend the delibera-
tions of the resolutions committee
this morning that the convention
yesterday clipped off the tail Of
Thomas F. Ryan's cat"
The Nebraska leader had previous
ly depicted Ryan, the New York finan-
cier, as cracking a cat-o-nine-tails
over the convention
Then the course of progressiveism
is moving along more smoothly?s

The Brinkman theatre will be used

OF course, on such varied trip as
the Colonel has taken the above pro-
gram wasn't always carried out. Gen
orally is was about twice as siren
uous. 1t should also be mentioned
that the Colonel sandwiched in daily
a personal letter to Mrs. Roosevelt,
handled his regular mail, read the
newspapers and mapped out addi-
tional work.
The Bull Moose regularly sprung
about half a dozen stock jokes or
"brighteners' but they were sprung
with just as much spontaneity yes
terday in the south as they were in
Connecticut nearly month ago. And
they always fetched the crowd. One
favorite was for the Colonel to shoe
the little ones away from the rear
of the train, and then remark conf
dentially to the crowd, in that
sQueaky falsetto the ex-president al
ways adopts when he is humorous:
'You know, l don't want to lose any
little Bull Mooses.''
The "Abyssinian treatment story
was another of the Colonel's favor
ites. 1t hinged on John D. Arch
bold's complaint before the Clapp in
