tions that the vote of the delegation
placed him under; obligations to1 J.
Pierpont Morgan, . August Belmont
and Thomas F. Ryan.

pledging him continued support and
urging him to remain a candidate be
fore the .convention until a nomina
tion was made,- f Mr, Clark pledged

South Holds Balance of Power.

effort is being made to get Southern
delegates to support Champ park.
There was a conference lor mat pur
pose in Washington this morning and
another one in Baltimore this after
noon. Some 1 Southern Congressmen
are trying to get the delegates to turn
from Underwood to Clark, to defeat
Wilson. Mr. Underwood is not a par
ty to the scheme. Letters and , tele
grams from "back home" are urging
the delegates to atand nrm xor unaer
wood and Wilson.-. - ; "
It is conceded that the South has
the power to make the nomination,
by going either to Wilson or Clark.
It to reared tnat new xorx may
bring grebt influences on many of the
Southern delegates to come to the
Clark banner, but the real sentiment
of the -South is unquestionably for

The service was conducted by Rev.
J. H. West, pastor ' of -1 he. deceased,
assisted by Rev. Dr. J. M. Grier, pas
tor tof the First Presbyterian church
and Rev. Plato Durham, i presiding
service was opened by tne cnoir sing
ing, "How Firm a Foundation." The
Scripture lesson was read by Rev. J.
H. West, after which the choir sang
"Abide With Me," which, was fol
lowed by a prayer by Rev. Dr. J. M.
Grier. Rev. Plato Durham delivered
a most eloquent eulogy on the life of
Judge Montgomery.
"It is a solemn joy to be able to
stand above the dust of my beloved
friend," said the speaker. "For I
believe that it is not ordinarily the
ease tnat we Honor a man out we
honor ourselves when we meet here
for a man as large as this man was.
We honor ourselves to meet and to
think of the lesson his life teaches. I
said standing above another friend,
the late J. P. Caldwell that his lite
was too large to speak of it as a per
sonal bereavement but we owe it to
the commonwealth to do it. I say this
of this man's life."
Mr. Durham then spoke of his life
as a soldier. He paid a great tribute
to the courage and bravery of the
deceased as a soldier, numbering him
among the members of the "thin
gray line," whose passing once shook
the earth. "A man1 told me not long
ago," said the Speaker, "that the
i Montgomerys were born soldiers and
no braver man trod the battle held
than William James Montgomery."
In speaking of his career as i
lawyer and jurist the speaker accord
ed to him a high place in the rank
of the mighty men of the profession,
He stood faithful in high office, said
Mr. Durham. "It was at a time when
it took a man to stand faithful He
was a man who in performing public
functions wore equity and justice in
his heart. He was born a judge. A
man of remarkable mind,. ' with
ereat learning of law..; I never saw
a man who was his superior in know
ing the human spirit. Are there
any greater men than his compeers t
To say today that he held an honored
place among North Carolina judges
is high praise. But to those who
knew him best he was greatest at the
bar. His ereat learning, his eloquence
and bs tenderness of heart made him
a . power at the bar. The man who
stands as an advocate is a towering
man. It is a pleasing thing to re
member that the last time I heard
him at the bar he was appearing for
a widow. As he passed me be said
he always loved to defend the rights
of a helpless widow. He was a man
who I believe would lay down ms me
before, he would soil the. robes ot his
advocacy." i,.;' ;
In sDesking of Judge Montgomery
life ' to his community Mr, Durham
said: "As a builder of this commun
ity he wrought well and wrougnt
wisely. My friends,' dont forget the
k..:iAM i tthia nnmmunit V. His
builders of this " community, ths
nunc is a part of the history of
North Carolina.
"Those of us who know him beBt
know that all haa not been when we
speak ot William James Montgomery
-
as a just Judge, a neat lawyer and
an honored citisen, said Mr. Dur-.
bam. "I was his young pastor and he!
w" l0, J f fwrt fk
hesrt in which there vu nJueh
thing as hate. I shall apeak of him
aa a Christian man. He came to bis
old age with sweetness and tender
ness and faith of a little child. He
loved the church of God in that brave
heroic way of our fathers. His loy
alty to it was unshakable and when
the burdens of the church were to
bear he, in company with such men
as Dr. Lilly snd John Milton Odell,
bore them with unfaltering loyalty."
Mr. Durham spoke of Judge Mont
gomery 'e devotion to his Sundsy
school class snd his love for the Bible.
It wss in his hsnd a mighty sword
before a jury and in bis heart a greht
light to hie Sunday school class."
The services were concluded st Oak-
wood cemetery, where the interment
was made. The grave was completely
covered with floral offerings from
friends in many sections of this snd
other States. There were many beau
tiful designs, each showing the re
spect and love of those who sent
them.
Other out-of-town guests besides
the honorary pall bearers were: Dr.
and Mrs. E. C. Register, Dr. and Mrs.
C. Montgomery, - Mesdames J. L.
