Clark had q clear majority OF the

$50 votes.

the candidate must poll two-thirds Of

It was william J. Bryan who was
chiefly responsible for Clark's de-
feat. He opened the convention with
. charge that an effort was being
made by "Wall Street" to dictate the
nomination. and intimated that
Clark's support by Thomas Fortune
Ryan and Tammany Hall made the
Clark candidacy impossible.
