Baltiore, June 26. A flood of
oratory buried the delegates to the
national democratic convention un
der rhetorical waves today. The
convention marked time through the
entire day session, because the cre
dentials committee had not prepar
ed its report. After a half dozen or
more of democracy's most noted
speakers delivered typical campaign
speeches, the I convention adjourn
ed at two seventeen this afternoon
to meet at eight o'clock tonight. The
convention then will take up the
problem of permanent organization,
receive the credential committee's
report, and possibly begin the nom
inating speeches of presidential can
didates. At Bryan's request it had
been decided to defer drawing the
platform until after the nomination.
It was -expected there would be no
friction tonight in the permanent
organization.

credentials committee was the Sul

dispute in Illinois.
. All Candidates Optimistic.
At the headquarters of the vari
ous presidential candidates, no com
promise talk Is heard. Optimism is
heard everywhere. Each candidate
Is referred to by bis adherants as
"our next president." The Clark
forces are unusually confident s'ncj
Bryan's defeat yesterday and freely
predict the Speaker's nomination on
the first ballot.
Bryan Starts Another Fight.
It was definitely stated before the
...Mniinn nnnnnd todav that Wil
liam J. Bryan, defeated In the con
vention yeBterday, had determined
to precipitate another fight on the
floor at the earliest opportunity.
Bryan, It Is said, believes precedent
should be upset and the presidential
nomination made before the plat
fnrin U written and adooted. The
Nebraskan's friends quoted him as
saying It was useless to write a pro
gressive platform if the cbnservative
iiomMit should control the nomina
tion. Bryan was urged to write the
platform, but he Is loath to nave

PERMIT SECRETARY
Baltimore, June 6.-The permanent
organisation committee named
Britton permanent secretary of the
convention, defeating Urey Woodson
on a roll call of 1 4 to 18. Woodson
was chosen al - associate secretary
Britton is a newspaper man of Ral
aioh m r. .Woodson's high aualifl
cations for the office were admitted
but the Raleigh man's friends were
determined to honor him. In the
formal discussion proceeding .the
vote. It, was declared that the choice,
whichever war It fell,' would be
without political significance.
There, are more than 4,000
Jpweri Jfl tfett United, Pingdojk
when he left his hotel for the reso
lutions committee meeting.
For permanent chairman Senator
Shively, of Indiana, and Senator
Lea, of Tennessee, are among those
mentioned as compromise candi
dates. With the nominating sessions
scheduled for tomorrow, presiden
tial gossip filled the air today.
Speaker Clark, apparently, will go
into ihe convention with a distinct
advantage over all other candidates.
Bryan's friends refuse to consider
him out of the running, saying his
defeat for the temporary chairman
ship was in no sense a test of what
his strength would be as a presi
dential candidate. The Bryan fol
lowers are hopeful (he nominating
fight may go to a fourth or fifth bal
lot, and believe that in that situa
tion many delegates would go to
Bryan.
At 11:45 the convention hall was
filling rapidly, the delegations pro
ceed in to their seats, the band play
ing and the galleries aflutter with
animation. Judge Parker mounted
the platform at 12:05, amid scatter
ing handclaps. The sergeant-at-arms
and the police had difficulty
in clearing the aisles. Warned of
yesterday's disorder, a squad of po
licemen were marshaled into the
galleries and directed to eject any
one creating a disturbance.
Credentials Committee Not Ready.
The convention was called to or
der at 12:21. '.'.Bishop Murray, of
Maryland, pronounced the Invoca
tion. A haze of heat filled the hall.
The floor and galleries decided on
negligee rainment. The delegates
stripping off their coats. Hundreds
of palm leaf fans fluttered through
out the building. Governor Blanch-
ard, of Louisiana, reported from the
credentials committee that the re
port would not be ready until 8
o'clock tonight.
Blanchard's motion prevailed
that' when the convention adjourn
ed, after hearing several speakers,
it should be until 8 p. m. Governor
Folk, of Missouri, was introduced
and stirred the crowds with his
rousing periods.
Folk said: "The nominee of this
conventipn will be the next presi
dent of the United States." He
eulogized Bryan. The delegates
grew restless during Folk s speech
The chairman was forced to admon-
ish the delegates to be quiet. Folk's
speech was brief. Senator Rayner,
of Maryland, followed. Rayner pre.
dieted democratic success and dis
cussed the division in the republi
can party.
Representative Clayton, of Ala
bama, followed. His statement: "I
do not know upon whom the nomi
nation will fall," brought out clam
orous shouts for Underwood, WUson
and Clark with fainter echoes for
all other candidates. Demonstra
tions for their different candidates
gradually swelled, the delegations
rising enmasse and waiving hats,
fans and flags. The names of the
rival leaders were los in the con
(used chorus.
The band joined in the demon
strations. The chairman made lit
tle effort to quiet the enthusiasm.
Clayton stood smiling at the speak
er's table. A melody of southern
airs from the band brought out in
creasing cheers. Tumultuous cheer
ing continued for fifteen minutes
with alternate waves of cheering
from the ranks of the Wilson, Un
derwood and Clark forces.
The chairman, growing impatient
in efforts to restore order, threaten
ed adjournment unless order was
restored.
Former Governor Campbell, of
Ohio, and Mayor Preston of 13 alt I
more spoke.
Reilly, of Massachusetts, made a
vigorous speech on national polecat
Issues. Loud cheering greeted Sen
ator Gore, of Oklahoma, the next
introduced. The blind statesman
was unable to proceed for some time
because of the uproar. "Let us have
peace," Gore said, "Let us have
peace at any price, at any sacrifice,
save that of honor. Let us here put
every democrat under bands to keep1
the peace." A burst of applause
greeted the statement. "Notn
ing can ' save the republican party
from self-slaughter except democrat
ic suicide," exclaimed Gore. We can
not live half progressive and half
re-actlonary. Theodore Roosevelt
endeavored to breathe the breath of
life Into the petrified remains of the
republican party. He failed. The
dummy would not move."
Rules Committee Agrees.
Baltimore, June 26. By a vote
of 22 to 16 the rules committee
agreed to the plan to defer the pre
sentation of the platform until after
the party's presidential candidate
has been nominated In absence of
any true Indication whether the
conservative or progressive wings of
the party would dominate the con

policy, to hold back the platform In

Starters in Race for Democratic Presidential Nomination
TALK OF KERN
FOR PRESIDENT
Baltimore, June 20.
A movement to test the
.sentiment for K.ern for
the presidential nomina
tion was started by some
of the progressives who
feel it may be impossi
ble to unite two-thirds
of the delegates for
either Clark or Wilson.
These men are working
quietly but say the
movement has gained
considerable momentum.
"Dark horse" talk in
creases. This is partly
due to the fact that the
New York delegation is
determined to vote for
Mayor Gaynor on the
first ballot. The evident
purpose of this is to sec
the contest among the
candidates and get a
line on -tho situation.
Others interpreted it as
meaning that Gaynor
would be boomed for the
vice-presidency. It is
realized by all that tho
two-thirds vote neces
sary to nominate can
only he secured by a
combination of some nf
the candidates or by a
'break" or -"stampede"
of the delegates.
Bryan Won Fight Against Pre
senting Platform Until
After Nomination
Baltimore, June 20. Senator
John W. Kern of Indiana, was elect
ed chairman of the resolutions com
mittee. Bryan flatly declined the
chairmanship.
He said that unless the platform
embraced his ideas of true progress
lie wouid submit a minority report
to the convention. He said he would
accept no appointment that might
embarass him in pursuing such a
course. He declined the honor em
phatically. Not content to so easi
ly abandon their harmonv program,
the committee turned the matter
over to senators Raynor, O Gorman
and Culberson. They held an ear
nest discussion with Bryan in one
corner of the room. Their efforts
were fruitless. Bryan announced
that his position was unalterable.
Kern was turned to at once as rep
resenting the progressive democra
cy. There was no nomination in
opposition. His election was unan
imous. The committee began hear
ings preliminary to closing the doors
for the actual work of making the
party platform. :
As soon as the resolutions com
mittee organized, Bryan moved that
the presentation of the platform be
deferred until after the convention
had nominated a candidate for pres
ident. Rayner seconded the propo
sition. .. Bryan spoke at length, urg
ing a progressive platform and par
ticularly in reference to tariff and
the direct election of Senators on
which planks there was found to be
a division of sentiment. The propo
sal would have to go to the conven
tion if- approved by the committee.
Bryan s motion carried by a vote
of 41 to nine and the committee
adjourned until after the matter
Is presented to the convention.
Iti-yan's Speech.
Refusing to accept the chairman
ship Bryan said: "1 appreciate the
compliment, but I'm not willing to
act as chairman. 1 am a believer
In harmony. I think the committee
ought to be in harmony with tin
convention. I am not In harmony
with the organization of the con
vention nor of the national commit
tee. We used to have two kinds of
democrats progressive and conser
vative. We have now only one kind
progressive; but we find there is a
wide difference in defining of the
word "progressive." I do not define
progressiveness as It is defined by
CLARK WATCH NEWS
Washington, June 26. Speaker
Clark, and representative Oscar Un
derwood, spent the day in their of
fices at the capital, receiving Balti
more news. Both candidates were
in touch with their managers by
telephone and learned of the devel
opments in the convention by the
newspaper reports also. The can
didates greeted many visitors from
Baltimore. While the speaker and
Underwood are strong personal
friends and have been political al
lies for many years, presidential
talk Is avoided when they meet in
the corridors. It is "hello Champ"
and "hello Oscar" and that la the
