LOSES OUT.
Democrats Sustains Verdict of Their
National Committee, 579 to 506.
Baltimore, Md., June 25.
Wm, Jennings Bryan lost-his first
light for progressive control of
the Democratic national conven
tion today when he was defeated
for temporary chairman of the
convention by Alton B. "Parker.
Mr. Bryan first nominated Sen
ator Kern to oppose Parker. The
latter delined the honor and nam
ed Mr. Bryan to make the fight,
The Nebraskian made an elegant
plea "for the cause he had repre
sented for 16 years," but it was
unavailing. '
Third Party Now a Reality.
Chicago, June 24 The "Pro-
gressive" party, born Saturday
night, was dedicated yesterday.
In the presence of perhaps 500
men, some of them recognized
leaders of the movement,, others
merely onlookers, the first formal
step was taken. GovernorJ ohn
sont of California,, was empower
ed to appoint a committee cf se
ven memoers to confer with Col
onel Roosevelt and formulate a
plan of action.
"The movement is going stea
dily ahead, " said James R. Gar

More Than Necessry To Nominate.
Chicago, June With near
ly 350 of the Roosevelt delegates
declining to, vote and hastening
away at adjournment time- to
tender to Col. Theodore Roose

ty the fifteenth Republican nation
al convention at the end of a long
and tumultous session tonight
renominated ' William Howard
Taft of Ohio for President, and
James Schoolcraft Sherman of
New York, for Vice President.
President Taft received 561
of the 1 ,078 votes
in the convention, or
21 more than a majority. The de
cision of the Roosevelt people
under the direction of their leader
to refrain from voting, left no
other candidate. The announce
ment of the Taft victory was
greeted with cheering from his
adherents and groans and hisses
from the opposition. When it be
came absolutely certain early to
day that Mr. Taft would be no
minated without great difficulty,
the leaders in control of the con
ventfon decided to give mm as a
running mate his companion on
the ticket in 1908.
All others dropped out of the
race and Mr. Sherman was the
only candidate regularly placed
before the coventien. A motion
rom New Hampshire to make
he nomination by acclamation
was declared out of order. There
were many scattering votes on
the roll call that ensued.
The conventfon amid much
confusion adjourned sine die.
At no time was there an in
dication of a walk-out of the
Rooseveltdele gates. They express
ed their revolt by silence.
In the confusion just before ad-
lournment. a resolution was a-
dopted giving the national com
mittee power to declare vacant

present policy of excessive pro
tection is a mistake, the Ameri
can public simply demands evi

The evidence is accessible.
The1 Lawrence, Mass., strike
revealed "that the men, women
and children workers in the great
woolen mills the most highly
protected industry of all receive
$5, $6" and $7 a week wages for
full time. The Stanley commit
tee showed that Workers in the
blast furnaces of the steel mills
the second most highly protect
ed industry work 12 hours a d?iy,
seven days a week, and are mis
erably treated and underpaid.
And how comes the most
damning revelations of all, in re
port of the New York " Factory
Investigating commission, show
ing that there are 296,000 women
at work in the highly protected
factories of New York cities, d
that the average weekly wage of
these women toilers is $5.' The
proprietors of tip. factories told

that they "use women in place of!
