DEMOCRATIC HOSTS INCON Great Auditorium Is Crowded With Delegates and Visitors It hen Chairman EMer Raps For Order Shortly Alter Noon GREATEST INTEREST IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE Followers of Woodrow Wilson Seem ed Determined to Cull on Conven tion to Insd'iict State's IelenteK to Baltimore Convention Oppo nents Idned I'm For .'Stubborn Fight, With Two Hundred or More Delegates Holding; Balance of Bower Kev. Harry M. Xorlli Of fers Prayer and Messrs. Johnson anil Pou Welcome "onveiiti'n Again to Kaloigli The Proeoed- What promised to be one of the most interesting state conventions vevcr held in North Carolina was formally opened shortly after noon today by Hon. A. H. Eller, state chairman. In the great auditorium, with its handsome decorations, were seated nearly 1,000 delegates and nearly 4,000 visitors, many of them women. Stirring music by the Third regiment band before the sounding of the gavel, the hurrying about the hall by the various delegates, made the auditorium a lively place. Far surpassing every other con sideration, it seemed, was the desire of the followers' of Woodrow Wilson to have him endorsed for president and the state's twenty-four dele gates Instructed for him. Opposing instructions were the formidable Underwood hosts and the two hun dred or more delegates who were not especially favorable to either candidate.. Neither side, it was contended be fore the convention met, had a ma jority -of the delegates and a mere hundred or so would in such an event hold the key in their bands. If the Wilson men attempted to put him over on the convention, the strength of the other candidates would fall to the Underwood side, and if the Underwood men attempt ed the trick, this same strength would be exerted in the other direc tion. With such a situation exist ing nobody was able to say what would be done. "We feel we will win," Wilson men declared. "They cannot beat lis out," .Underwood -''men averred. And that was the way the matter Mood when the chairman of the convention called for order. Rev. Harry Al. North, pastor Of the Kdenton Street .Methodist church, offered a short prayer, and Mayor Johnson was presented to welcome the convention to the city. This the mayor did In his cordial manner. Mr. James H. Pou, in be half of the chamber of commerce, then extended greetings in behalf of that hustling organization. In his welcoming address Mr. Pou declared that the city had learned that an ordinary theatre would not accommodate the state convention and Raleigh built this auditorium, The people learned that one hotel would not accommodate the crowds nnd four hotels were built. He pledged the delegates everything they wanted; the city accorded lie visitors a nonpartisan welcome. Mr. .Pou complimented W. S. Wilson and said it would not be many years be fore he would be nominated for gome high office. There was applause. FOR CHAMP CLARK Little Rock, June 6. Following resolution, instructing the Arkan sas delegates to Baltimore to vote for Sneaker Clark for the demo cratic presidential nomination, the democratic state convention namea fourteen delegates at large, to be selected later this afternoon. Franklin Htill On Stand. Los Angeles. June 6. Bert H. Franklin the state's star witness in the Clarence 8. Darrow trial for al leged Jury bribery, continued under cross examination this morning. Franklin has furnished the most of the sensations during the trial. Pioneer Lumberman Head. New Orleans, June 6. John Dlbert, age sixty-eight, a pioneer lumberman and capitalist, died at Mr. Pou invited the convention to return here next November to cele brate the election of the ticket named today nnd the election of a democratic president. While Mayor Johnson was speak ing Governor .Tarvis entered the hall amid great applause, and took a position on the .-latforni. By this time the great hall had completely filled with delegates and visitors. Mr. Filer Speaks. Secretary W. TO. Mrock called the roll of the counties, nil answering present. Chairman Kiler then made a short speech, saying that his com mittee had come to lay down its of fice and turn it over to new hands. The executive committee had come after a glorious victory. "Where -is our wandering Rutler today? He came back, but he did not stay. We fac4 in the state a republican party without a leader." The same thing, he said, was true of the nation, the republican party having rushed like a giant Titanic to destruction. The world beholds, Mr. Elter declared, a president and ex-president in bit ter struggle. He then introduced Governor Glenn who was greeted with great applause as he arose to speak. His speech in full will be found on page two of this paper. Some Cheering. When Governor Glenn mentioned the names of Harmon and Clark there was some applause. And when he mentioned Woodrow Wilson the delegates yelled vociferously. Un derwood's name was greeted with equal applause, as was the name of Bryan. Governor Ulenn hart Hun dreds of. friends among the delegates and these gave him an ovation. For Governor Aveock. .. Governor Glenn, as temporary chairman called the convention to order and introduced Governor Jar- vis who offered a resolution on the death of Governor Aycock. The res olutions follow: Wherens. since the meeting of the last democratic state convention a man who loved nis teiiowman, Charles Brantley Aycock, a demo crat as broad as the nation, and a true exponent of the best things in North Carolina life and character, has passed to his great reward, be it recolved: That this convention feels and ex presses Its deep sense of loss here in, it glories in his life of self-sac rifice and his unspeakable pride in the recognition of his greatness by all people of our common country, Resolved further. That we do heartily evidence the patriotic ef forts of the Aycock Memorial Association to raise funds not only to perpetuate his . noble form lineament in bronze, but also to erect some other suitable memorial of his unselfish, contin ued and successful efforts in behalf of universal education, which justly won for him the name of the educa tional governor of North Carolina. The resolutions were adopted by a rising vote. After the appointment of the various committee, the convention took a recess until 3 o'clock. It was 3:20 when Governor Glenn called the convention to order after the noon recess. Winston Permanent Chairman The committee on permanent organization agreed on Hon. Francis D. Winston of Bertie for permanent chairman; permanent secretary Walter Murphy of Rowan; for as sistant secretary F. B. Arendell. On motion the report of the committee was adopted and Governor Glenn ap pointed a committee to escort the gentleman to the chair. No noml nating speeches will be made for those candidates who have no oppo sition. While the convention was waiting for the committee to escort Gov ernor Winston to the chair the band, which had been doing good work all day, rendered two additional se lections. Governor Glenn said that while he was governor he bad the support and assistance of one of the state's finest men and it gave him great pleasure to present one of bis best friends, the Hon. Frank D. Winston of the county of Bertie. Promising his hearers that ho would not speak much, Chairman Winston spoke with reference to a fair, just and Impartial application of parliamentary rules. "And now, fellow citizens, what is the pleasure of this representative North Carolina assemblage?" He then Invited the vice-president, ten of them, to take thn neat son the stage. Hon.

It is not usual for the delegates from North Carolina to the national convention to be instructed, and 1 have always thought it wise for the party to se lect its able men and send them to the national convention uninstruet ed, but I think that, a condition of things has arisen in North Carolina and now exists, which makes it ad visable for the state convention to day to pass instructions. I do not look Willi favor upon the etlort which have been made from outsid to lake the state to Baltimore, to be used as this outside influence may dictate, i "I have always believed and still believe 'that the democracy of North Carolina is its own best judge of who it shall support in the national convention, and m order for the state to speak out in unmistakable terms in condemnation of the influx of thl: outside infuMice I think it better that the convention shall in struct Its delegates. Personally, 1 am for Judge liar mon for president, because 1 think he is the ablest man of any of them would make the strongest candidate and the best president, but I am sat Islied that the overwhelming senti ment of the state is for Wilson and believing as 1 do that the sentiment and Judgment of 1 he people should be respected, I think it wise for the state convention to declare for Wil son . for president, and I hope the convention will select some of the ablest democrats In the state as del egates at large to the Baltimore con ventiou." RKPIBLICAX COXYKXTIOX. To Meet Second Time in Charlotte ' For State Ticket. Charlotte, June 6. Although the second state republican convention which meets in Charlotte in mid summer will name a complete state ticket, this ticket will not receive any support from a parallel county ticket, according to one of the lead ing members of the republican party who resides In the city. This means that the county republicans will not put out candidates for county or leg islative offices in Mecklenburg coun ty, according to this same leader. Advocates Naval Increase.
