Representative Underwood, presiden'
tial candidates, the following telegram:
"A majority of the national conven.
ton has voted for the candidacy of
Champ Clark. No one questions his
fitness and loyalty to Democracy and
for seventy years the practice has
been established of giving the nOmina-
ton to the candidate who receives a
majority. We ask you in the interests
Of the party and in yindication of the
democratic principle of majority rule
tc assist in making his nomination
Unanimous by announcing the with
draWal OF your candidacy"
Delegates Are Going Home.
Baltimore, Md, June 29.-Wearied
with their second struggle lasting prac-
tically all night, the leaders and mem.
bers of delegations We're late in max
Ing their appearance at the main cen
ters of activity this morning and it
was well toward noon before the work
Of consultation. conferences and eau
CuSea was III luIl SWING.
The early birds which included
Chairman James, were again sanguine
t"at a decisive ballot would be reach
ed today and that the convention
would conclude its labor tonight.
Already the exodus from Baltimore
lad begun and placards a every hand
announced special trains carrying
away large parties which had come
to see a candidate chosen.
1t was the general feeling that if
Clark wins he must win quickly.
Clark Must Win Quickly.
A continued deadlock was the one
thing that might destroy the COM
manding lead he had already estab-
ished. The problem before the Clark
forces was tWo-fold, first to hold their
present strength intact against defec-
tions, and, second to add 17G 10 votes
to his 549 shown on the twelfth ballot
to give him the necessary two-thirds
majority.
The first problem was not a menac-
ing one, but it had it's difficulties. The
ninety New York votes with Clark
from the tenth to the twelfth ballot,
were not regarded as dependable if
the struggle was prolonged, as the
New Workers still were feeling their
way, ready to stand by Clark if his
forces could show an ability to CON
centrate the field, but not to remain
with him indefinitely in a prolonged
contest.
Governor McCOrkle of West Vir-
gnia interrupted to ask "if the nom
ination of a Democrat candidate is
made with the vote of New York, will
you then support the candidate?"
Is Bryan a Democrat?
AS Bryan began to answer, a dele
gate shouted Are you a Democrat -
This nettled the commoner and he
shouted, "lf that man will give YOU
his name | will record it beside that
o. Messrs. Ryan, Belmont and Nor
gan. Answering McCorkle. Mr..
Bryan said it was a different thing to
oppose a man in a convention and op-
poslte him after a convention. Moth.
ing, he said, would justify the SUP
position that he would not support the
: nominee
Would you support Clark, Wilson.
Harmon, Underwood Marshall Kern
or Foss, if one of them received a
two-thirds vote of this convention in
Guiding the vote of New York;" asked
Governor Brewer Of Mississippi.
He Declines to Answer Question
u deny the right of the gentleman
to ask such hypothetical question
unless he puts into the question every
material and relative element of the
issue"
Knox of Alabama was on his chair.
Shouting protests against the arbi-
trary continuance of Bryans speech.
Officers will seat that man." was
shouted from the platform as Knox
Vehemently shook his fist and CON
tnued his protest, while pandemoni-
um reigned on the floor and in the
galleries.
Police Forced to Take Hand.
Adding to the confusion. the police
elected an intruder who was mistaken
by the crowd for a delegate. Waves
OF alternate protest and approval
fairly shook the building. while
Bryan still stood amid the storm mo.
tloning for quiet that he might pro-
ceed Il expect to support the nom
lnee of this convention" said Mr..
Bryan. | do not expect any man to
be nominated here who would permit
a partnership between Morgan, Ryan
and Belmont and himself. But ] am
not called upon to give bond to meet
an issue before the conditions sur
rounding it are definitely formed"
Bryan Votes for Wilson.
Mr.. Bryan closed with the declara.
tion that he would cast his vote for
Governor Wilson, while cheer after
cheer rolled from the galleries
and floor, overwhelming the vol.
ley of protests and Kisses heard
here and there amid the confused up
roar Bryan made his way back to
