refused to mention Roosevelt's name
when the convention called. "Name
him, name him." Neither did the key
noter have any unkind words for the
Bull Moosers in general. He made II
speech for preparedness and strong
dressed to the Progressives. But it
was so adroitly worded that it pleased
Bryan.
Bryan came into the convention
wearing a reporters badge, amid a
storm of cheers. but curiously enough
greeted him in the Bull Moose con-
vention last week. And among the
reporters sat Bryan. his fine bald head
looming up like the helmet of Navarro,
and he nodded it in approval of the
peace claims Of Glynn.
Bryan was something more in the
convention that bystander. This
is the first Democratic convention
since 1896 that has not been dominated
by Bryan as delegate or as candi-
date. 1t will be rather unusual if a
convention of Il party which he has led
for twenty years shall sit beside him
coldly and callous to his opinions.
Bryan Beckons Moose.
Bryan is doing all in his power to
open the door wide for the Progress
sives. But his power seems at the
moment rather unimportant, for this
is essentially Wilson convention,
even though it's outward manifestation
of loyalty to the president is well un-
der control. But it must be remem-
bered that President Wilson himself
is no rabble rouser and his tempera-
ment is reflected in his party's conven-
ton. Hence the obvious repression of

tachment from the universe save at the

TUESDAY

The Democratic convention is max
ing its candidate for president and
vice president. and its platform and it's
daily program from the White House.
yet it is not a boss-ridden convention
The delegates, in subscribing to the
White House plans, are doing only
their own will. There is no will here
but the presidents, and it is largely
the will of the convention.
The big bosses, the men I'm Demo-
cratic party politics, from whom or
ders have come for two decades-Mur-
ply, Sullivan, Taggart and the minor
state bosses-are the only people who
really are being seriously bossed. And
they don't like 1t.
Sullivan Boom, a Protest.
The Sullivan candidacy. which has
oil the big bosses behind it and no
votes TO speak of, is largely an at
tempt TO show the president that he
is not the whole Democratic party.
Excepting the Illinois end of the Sui
Ivan candidacy, 1T is entirely a dem
.onstration against President Wilson.
In Illinois the Sullivan candidacy
reaches back half decade into the
subterranean workings Of Illinois fac
tional politics. The Sullivan candi.
dacy is partly an attempt to take
the Illinois delegation away from "Jim
Ham" and this part is rather a gor.
geous failure-and partly an attempt
to fortify Mr.. Sullivan for the next
senatorial election.
Merely Stare at Lewis.
The only real news item of today's
convention arises from the fact that

Shipping convention.
And because there are no contests,
no uncertainties in any outcome, be-
cause there are no places where large
self-lnterests clash in any possible
issue Of the convention, the dele
gates sit placidly and listen to
defense of President Wilson, rise to
greet the oratorical climaxes Of the
speaker with proper applause and
flag waving, and then sincerely hope

THURSDAY

This convention Is unique among the
American conventions Of all the parties
since the Civil war in its entire una
nimity of opinion.
Last week at Chicago there were
the radicals and the stockholders,
widely divergent In ideals and in i'm
mediate aims. In the Republican con-
vention there was small but enthusi-
astic Roosevelt minority and silent
but vicious anti-ROosevelt group.
But here there is absolute harmony.
The differences between Bryan and
Murphy are not worth stating. The
middle West has no quarrel with Wall
street. The solid South did not pro-
test when the band all day yesterday
delayed playing "Dixie," and played
1t only once to moderate cheers this
morning. Not rebel yell has been
lifted in the convention, and no POpu-
list whiskers are In evidence, either
In the platform or on the floor.
Wilson, That's All.
II is merely Wilson, that's all. The
Democratic bosses and the Demo-
cratic masses are eating out or his
hand. The spectacle doesn't inspire
passionate devotion. SO we see the
gallery bench Of the convention yawn-
ing in brown emptiness and we find no
thrill in the proceedings, and above
everything else we find a burning de-
sire to go home in the hearts of the
delegates. Inconsistencies is the one
consuming emotion Of the crowd. And
so the convention will speed up and
probably adjourn early tomorrow
afternoon.
OF course, harmony may not make
votes, but 1t is not losing any. and so
the Democrats are TO go home happy.

FRIDAY

Here is the Americanism plank:
The part that the United States VIII
play in the new day of international re-
lationships which now is upon us VIII
depend upon our preparation ana our
character. The Democratic party rec
ognizes the assertion and triumphaht
demonstration of the indivisiDility anu

day i'm which the whole world faces the
crisis of manifold change. 1t summons
all men, of whatever origin or Creed
who would count themselves Americans
10 join In making clear to all the world
the unity and consequent power or
America.
This is an issue of patriotism. To
faint it with partisanship would be to
defile it. In this day of test America
must show itself, not nation of par
tisans, but nation of patriots. There
is gathered here in America the best
blood, the industry and the genius or
the whole world. the elements of
great race and a magnificent society to
be melted into n mighty and splendid
nation.
Act of Disloyalty.
Whoever, actuated by the purpose TO
promote the interests of foreign
power, in disregard OF our own coun-
try's welfare or TO injure this govern
ment in its foreign relations or cripple
or destroy its industries at home, and
whoever. by arousing prejudiceS of
racial, religious or other nature, Gre
ates discord and strife among our
people so as to obstruct the wholesome
process of unfication, is faithleSS TO
the trust which the privilege Of citizen
ship repose in him and disloyal to his
country.
We therefore condemn as subverSive
of this nations unity and integrity,
and as destructive Of its welfare, the
activities and designs of every group
or organization, political or otherwise,
that has for its object the advances
ment of the interest of a foreign
power, whether such object is promot-
ed by intimidating the government,
political party, or representatives OF
the people, or which is calculated and
tends to divide our people into antag-

ing the bosses only under pressure,
now is the time to know II. and Roger
c. Sullivan is the handle of the front
door that will open into that query.
Yet the convention regards the Sui
Ivan boom rs n joke; and its opposi-
ton by Jim Ham Lewis, who is n
kind of political Charley Chaplin, has
set the corridors aroar.
Another convention joke is the con-
flict between the stories of the time
when the president shall be nominated.
Think Wilson Superstitious.
One story declares that President
Wilson, being superstitious, has sent
word that he desires no nomination
on Friday and that the nomination is
to be delayed until one minute after
II Saturday morning.
Another story equally well authen-
ticated by delegates who desire to get
home for Sunday breakfast and who
have no desire to sit until midnight
listening TO dry seconding speeches is
that the president has sent word that
his lucky day Is Friday and that he
! prefers Friday Of all days.
But no one seems TO care much.
The giggly stage has to come and go
In every convention. And this Is the
giggly stage. Tomorrow serious
things will loom out of the fog.
Then the tragedy of the Sullivan
movement may assert itself; then the
latent force of Mr.. Bryan, coming
merely as one of the scribes to the
Sanhedrin whore for 20 years he has
been high priest, may become Wis.,
iblc.
Bryan Still Factor.
Bryan is still Bryan In the Demo-
cratic party and will have to be con-
sidered in every important dellbera-
ton.
But today he and peace and pro-
hibition and woman suffrage and
Roger Sullivan and Jim Ham, the
movie queen, and the superstitions Of
the president are the sublimed es-
sence OF the great American joke.
And it is well that they are. For,
after all, our "sense of honor saves us
whole"
Fancy the national mind all dressed
up and nowhere to go for whole long
week but to serious consideration
of the difference between Jim Ham
and ar. c." It's just as well to giggle
