answer was astraddle.
l soon afterward left the Chicago
Republican convention and went 10
Baltimore, hoping all the way that
Clark delegates would oppose Parker
and thus give us Il progressive TEN
porary chairman TO sound the keynote
Of the convention.
At Baltimore / found the situa.
ton unchanged. A Clark delegate call
ed on me soon after my arrival AMI
intimated that ] might have the per.
manent craftsmanship if did not OPP
pose Parker. OF course. did not en-
terrain any such proposition. but pro-
ceeded TO hunt for n candidate to put
up against Parker. after having made
personal appeal to Parker him
self.
PARKER ANGERED.
! bad frank talk with him on the
afternoon before the convention met.
at which told him that he had had
no part in the reforms for which the
party now stood, and could not pos
sibly give expression to the thoughts
and purposes of the delegates who con.
stituted majority of progressive
convention. l made no impression
on him further than to arouse his ire,
as such a protest naturally would.
l first called in Ollie James. the
candidate of the Clark men when the
matter of selecting a temporary chair
man was before the committee. ]
felt sure that he could defeat Parker.
He laid the matter before Mr.. Clark's
managers, aud returned to tell ME
that they objected to it. and that
therefore he could not allow his name
to be used as a candidate.
/ then sent for Judge O'Gorman,
Mr.. Wilson's candidate in the contest.
but he, being a member of the New
York delegation. had pledged his sup
port to Judge Parker. although he nd
vised Parker not to be candidate.
Failing to secure a candidate from
the delegates supporting Clark and
Wilson, l made an appeal to Senator
Kern, but found that he. too, was
embarrassed by the fact that he was
there as delegate supporting Gov
crnor Marshall. The matter was
made more delicate for Senator Kern
by. the fact that he was already be-
ing talked of as n candidate for the
presidential nomination, and he nat
urally hesitated to do anything that
might divert attention from his
states candidate to himself. Senator
Kern urged me 10 be a candidate for

When Senator Kern left my room
the night before the opening Of the
convention. he did not answer posi-
lively whether he would allow me TO
present his name. but said he hoped
| would not. i heard the next morn
ing, not from him directly. but in
directly, that he had plan, but l
did not learn the details of it.

name to be presented, / placed him

1t illustrates an experience that one
frequently has; phrase upon which
one sets gre at store is often ignored,
while a sentence spoken on the spur
Of the moment and without thought
Of it being considered important, will
attract widespread attention.

As I look back upon the conven-

1t was the best piece OF acting | ever
