that were switched to Wilson la*, night, but his managers are not quite so confident as earlier in the week. Underwood Holds On. The Underwood folks are hanging on in hopes that the presidential lightning will strike their candidate. The tw'b sessions of the convention were hard gruelling affairs, characterized by little else than the monotonous call of the roll of state "and the never ending announcement of a vote which did not nominate. Michigan furnished the one big sensation of the evening by switching a large part of its vote to Wilson. Some of this was returned to Clark on the last ballot. As the midnight hour was passed the delegates began to liven up and desire to “play hookey." One delegate started some fun by voting for Ollie James. Another brought down the house with a vote for J. Hamilton Lewis of Chicago, who was acting ag temporary chairman. James Opens Night Session. It was 8:20 p. m. when Chairman Ollie James reached the chair. He was applauded. He immediately called the convention to order at 8:21 p. m. Rev. Clayton M. Rauck, pastor of the Third Reformed church of Baltiflaore, offered the shortest prayer since the convention began. The thirty-fifth ballot was then or? iered. TbOre was wild cheering as Michigan cast 21 votes for Wilson and 8 for Clark. This was a gain of 15 votes tor Wilson. —- : 'v:, Wilson showed a gain of sixteen on the thirty-fifth ballot, but it brought but a few cheers. The Thirty-Sixth Ballot Called. The thirty-sixth ballßt started with the same monotonous regularity. WLoon lost one vote from Michigan

IDn the thirty-sixth ballot. Champ Clark lost on the thirty-sev-enth ballot. The thirty-eighth ballot was started Immediately after the results of the thirty-seventh had been announced, at 9:36 p. m. The thirty-ninth ballot was started at 10:17 p. m. The delegates were sitting tight, but the audience was very restless and noisy. Many left the hall. Attempts of Underwood and Wilson men to cheer when their candidates showed gains in the thirty-eighth ballot were met with hisses. Wilson passed the five hundred mark on the thirty-ninth ballot,' and the convention hall immediately became filled with stories of the ' big break.” The Wilson men started a wild demonstration when the official vote was announced. Chairman James rapped vigorously for oWer but the Wilson men refused to be quelled. Tlie fortieth ballot was called immediately after tlie demonstration ended, at 10:51 p. in. 1\ ilson gained one in Ohio, taking a vote from Harmon. The delegation had passed for polls three times before the Wilson gain was obtained. Withdraw Motion to Adjourn. At 11:1C a motion to adjourn until today at 10 a. m. was made. It was withdrawn after a roll call had been demanded. The forty-first ballot was started at 11: j. 6 p. m. At 11:47 p. m. J. Hamilton Lewis of Chicago took the chair temporarily. He worked strenuously to preserve order.

"Put up that flask. 1 mean the gentleman in the Alabama delegation,’ ordered Chairman Lewis. The whole convention laughed; then the confusion ceased, and the fortysecond ballot proceeded. Virginia cut down its one vqte for W. J. Bryan to half a vote on the for-ty-second ballot. At 12:30 a. m. another attempt to adjourn the convention was Senator William S. Stone of Missouri. Champ Clark’s manager, personally led the fight for adjournment. The motion threw the hall into a maelstrom of protesting delegates. The roll finally was called, after seven minutes of excitement. House Resents Attack on Clark. Washington, July 2., —In answer to attacks upon Speaker Clark itk the Baltimore convention the house adopted a resolution announcing its entire faith in its presiding officer.

The confusion grew more and as the vote proceeded. Almost every delegate was on his feet. The motion to adjourn w'hs carried by a vote of 781 to 260 at 12:40 a. m. until 12 noon today.

DEMOCRATS IN DEADLOCK OVER NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT

WHson Takes the Lead in Balloting on Thirtieth Roll Call and Holds It—New York Delegate Makes Bitter Attack on j. William Jennings Bryan. ' DEMOCRATIC STATE LEADERS

Three prominent Democrats who attended the National convention at Baltimore. From left to right they are: Theodore A. Bell, national committeeman from California; Guy B. Tucker, committeeman from Arkansas, and John E. Lamb, former national committeeman from Indiana.

Baltimore,, Md., July 2.—Having ! broken all records of modern times in | the number of ballots taken in a po- j litical convention for the nomination of a presidential candidate, the Demo-' cratic convention adjourned at midnight Monday, after having taken a total of 42 ballots, with no prospect of‘breaking the deadlock in sight. W ilson is now leading, his strength having gradually increased during the j balloting of the afternoon and evening i until he reached 501% on the thirtyninth ballot, he held to this figure on the fortieth and dropped to 494 on the last ballot of the evening. Clark started the day with 469, but had dropped tc> 447% when recesl was taken for supper. At the evening session he started off with 432%, dropped to 422 on the thirty-ninth ballot, but picked up two on the last ballot, closing the evening session with 430. The T. nderwood and Harmon' strength has been holding steadily with but slight fluctuations. Kern has been getting from one to four votes during the balloting of the day’ and night sessions and Foss has been holding steadily with 28 right along On the forty-second ballot one vote each was given to James, Lewis, Kern and Gaynor. Bryan got one-half vote. Bitter Attack on Bryan. Monday was a day of excitement in the convention. Bryan was the center of two exciting episodes. The first was when John B. Stanchfield, a New York delegate, in explaining his vote, made a vicious attack on the kan. He characterized Bryan as a political marplot who was trying to deadlock the convention in order that he might get the nomination himself. Stanchfield cast his vote for Wilson. In the second incident Bryan became the storm center of one of the most riotous scenes that has yet been witnessed In the convention. It was precipitated by the Missouri delegation when the thirty-third ballot showed that Wilson was retaining the lead which he had taken on the thirtieth ballot. A huge banner inscribed with a quotation from a laudatory tribute to Clark delivered by Bryan some years ago was flaunted In the commoner’s face. Bryan in a rage ascended the platform with the Intention of making a reply, but was ruled out of order by the chairman. Fight Is Btarted. A free-for-all fight ojver the banner started In front of the press stand. Order finally was restored after about ten minutes of wild disorder. Another exciting incident came when Wilson passed Clark on the thirtieth ballot. The Wilson men started a demonstration which lasted for several minutes. Eight more fruitless ballots were taken at the day session Monday, making 34 In all. Clark was slowly losing his strength, while Wilson gradually had been gaining. When the thirtieth ballot was announced it showed Wilson Tn the lead for the first time. His vote was 460 and Clark’s was 455. Wilson continued to gain slightly up to the time the convention took a recess until evening. His vote on the thirtyfourth ballot was 479%, while Clark’s was 447%. In Tight Deadlock. After taking twenty-six fruitless ballots, tightly deadlocked and with no prospect of a break in sight, the Democratic national convention adjourned at midnight Saturday until ten o’clock Monday morning. Clark and Wilson are still leading. The New Jersey governor has been slowly but steadily gaining, while the speaker has suffered some losses. The monotony of the long, weary hoars of balloting was frequently broken and the convention thrown Into

wild excitement as changes in the votes of different states teemed to lend encouragement to the friends of this or that candidate and hold out prospects of a victory, only to go glimmering when the totals showed that victory was still far off. Twelve ballots were taken In a session beginning at eight o’clock Friday night and extending into the early hours of Saturday morning when the tired delegates took a recess until four o’clock Saturday afternoon. The first ballot gave Clark 440% and W ilson 324. Both candidates showed slight gains as the ballots proceeded. Little excitement was furnished until the tenth roll call, when New York threw Its entire vote to Clark and boosted his strength to 556, the highest vote the speaker has polled in the whole 26 roll calls. It was the signal for a wild demonstration on the part of the Clark forces which continued for over half an hour. In the meantime Wilson had been slowly gaining and on the tenth ballot he had 350% votes as against the 324 with which he started. From that time on he made more rapid progress and almost every roll call showed accessions to his ranks. No Hope of Verdict. The ballots Saturday afternoon and evening ran from the thirteenth to the twenty-sixth. Wilson began at 356% and ended at 407%, a during the day of 51 votes. Speaker Clark began at 554% and fell to 463%, a loss of 91 votes. Twenty-six ballots had been taken since the first call of the states, and there was no hope of a final verdict. Mr. Bryan at the afternoon session attacked Clark and said he would vote for no man willing to accept nomination at the hands of Murphy of Tammany hall. It was during the fourteenth roll call that Bryan sprung his sensation when he made a bitter attack on Murphy and Tammany hall and changed his vote from Clark to Wilson. Bryan In Fight. With the progressives exultantly cheering and the conservatives angrily jeering him, Bryan sought, and, after much confusion obtained, the privilege of explaining his proposed change of vote. “No* no; vote ” yelled the anti-Bryan men. Mr. Bryan stood on his chair looking across the hall at the New York delegation, headed by its Tammany boss, Charles F. Murphy. “As long as New York votes,” Bryan attempted to begin, holding aloft his palm leaf fan. His voice was drowned by a tidal wave of jeers from the Clark delegations. "Free speech, free speech,” yelled the Wilson men. “Let Bryan talk." Unanimous Consent Granted. Finally when Senator Stone of Mis sourl asked unanimous consent It was granted. Bryan took the platform and said he wished to explain his vote, because his advice had not been followed in his delegation. This was greeted with a storm of derisive cries from the Clark men. Asserting that he spoke for progressives in the hall and many more outside, the Nebraskan read a statement which he said he had prepared for such a crisis. He called attention to his resolution adopted by the convention which thereby pledged Itself not to nominate a candidate dominated by Ryan, Morgan or Belmont or their allies. He said the only way to make that pledge effective was to nominate a nua not allied with these Interests. Slaps at Murphy. , Amid mingled shoots of approval and derision, he asserted that the vote of the New York delegation represents neither intelligence nor patriotism, but only the will of one man, Charles F.

Murphy, and that Murphy represents “the influences that dominated the Republican convention at Chicago, and are trying to dominate this convention.” When the confusion had been quelled Bryan then made this flat statement: “Nebraska will not vote for any man whose nomination depends on the Votes of the New York delegation. “Speaking for myself and others who think as I do,” continued Bryan, "1 shall withhold my vote from Mr. Clark as long as New York’s vote is recorded for him, and I shall do the same as to any other candidate.” Great confusion existed while Bryan was speaking, which broke into a wild demonstration headed by the Wilson men when he had concluded. Wilson Demonstration. The Wilson demonstration that scared his opponents more than any other one was precipitated in the convention when the Maryland delegation, which had stood solid for Clark from the first, demanded a poll, Indicating a possible split This came at the end of the twen-ty-sixth ballot, and the Wilson people gave vent to their enthusiasm for 15 minutes before the chairman made any effort to check them. The outburst was quelled after 23 minutes of marching and cheering. When Maryland, which had been passed, was reached, the chairman of the delegation announced 16 votes for Clark, but stated that two members of the delegation wished to state a preference for another candidate. When the roll was called the second delegate, Joshua W. Mills, shouted: “Woodrow Wilson." Then Comes the Uproar. Immediately the convention was In an uproar. Mills represented only half a vote, but it was the signal for the Wilson adherents for a demonstration. The great bulk of the Massachusetts delegation deserted Clark dnring the night and started a Foss boom. It created little excitement The thirteenth ballot, the first of the Saturday session, showed a gain of five for Clark. Wilson gained two and one-half, and Underwood lost seven and one-half. Foss was put on the roll with two votes. Kern received no votes and Bryan was given one. On the fourteenth there was a loss of four for Clark, a gain of 6% for Wilson, and a loss of 1% for Underwood. On the fifteenth ballot Montana’s eight votes, up to that time cast solid for Clark, split. Six went to Wilson, two standing by Clark. This gave Clark a loss of one, Wilson a gain of one and one-half, Underwood a loss of one-half. This gave Wilson just one-sixth of a vote less than one-third of the convention. Progress of the Vote. On the sixteenth vote Clark lost one, Wilson remained unchanged, Underwood gained two, Harmon and Marshall remained unchanged. The vote on the seventeenth was almost Identical with that on the sixteenth ballot. It left Clark with a loss of six votes. Wilson, Underwood, Harmon and Marshall unchanged. Kern gained 2% votes. , The eighteenth ballot proceeded as far as Tennessee before there was any considerable Bhlft Twelve and onhalf votes were gained by Underwood, 10 votes from Clark and 2% from Wilson. The net result was a loss of 10 for Clark, a loss of 1% for Wilson, and a gain of 12% for Underwood. This ballot brought Clark’s vote down below the majority which he had gained on the tenth ballot, and which his managers counted on to help force his nomination. The nineteenth ballot was begun. Idaho’s Kern vote broke for Bryan, giving him six of the eight votes of the state. Clark reoeived two. The twentieth ballot showed a loss of 20 for Clark, a gain of 80% for Wll son, a loss of 8% for Underwood. Foss and James were each placed on the roll on this ballot Clark lost four on the twenty-first ballot Wilson gained seven and Underwood lost three. Clark Btill Losing. On the twenty-second Clark lost 7%, Wilson gained 1, Underwood lost 8% and Fobs took a place on the roll. Harmon’s 29 In Ohio were eliminated, 28% going to Clark and one-half a vote going to Wilson. A loss of three for Clark, a gain of three for Wilson and a loss of one-half a vote for Underwood was the net result of the twenty-third roll call The twenty-fourth gave Clark a loss of 1%, Wilson a gain of 3%, Underwood a gain of 1, and Foss a loss of 2. A loss of 27 for Clark, a gain of 2% for Wilson, and a loss of 7% for Underwood was shown on the twentyfifth. Hannon returned to the poll with his 29 votes in Ohio, which deserted Clark. The twenty-sixth showed a loss of 5% for Clark, a gain of 2% for Wilson and a gain of 4% for Underwood. At the conclusion of this ballot an adjournment was taken until Monday. , Orators Extol Candidates. Thursday night’s session witnessed two separate demonstrations. The greatest one occurred when Senator Reed made his speech presenting the name of Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri as a candidate for the nomination for president There was a small demonstration when Gov. Baldwin’s name was presented. When Judge J. W. Wescott completed his speech placing in nomination the name of Prof. Woodrow Wilson there was great cheering and tumult, which lasted fully thirty minutes. Congressman Underwood’s name was presented by W. B. Bankhead and was also received with great enthusiasm by the Alabama man’s followers Earlier in the evening Colonel Brytn set the convention wild when he

started an attack on the predatory intereets. specifically naming Morgan. Ryan and Belmont. The fight that followed was one of the most spectacular and most fiercely fought that was ever witnessed in the convention of a political party. Bryan was at his oratorical best and aroused the great audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. He won his fight and placed his; party squarely on record against the money power* . . Bryan Wins Great Victory. Colonel Bryan threw a bomb into the convention Thursday evening shortly after It waa called to order by Chairman James. He introduced a resolution declaring J. P. Morgan, Thomas F. Ryan and August Belmont enemies of the party, and placing the convention squarely on record against the nomination of a man for the presidency who was in any way connected with these men or their Interests or In any way under; their influence. A clause in the Resolution demanding the withdrawal of Ryan and Belmont as delegates was subsequently withdrawn. Mr. Bryan moved to suspend the rules and place the resolution on Its passage. A two-thirds vote was neoessary. The motion was carried by a vote of 899 to 180. Wilson Wins Fight. Thursday was a day of excitemeht, In which Gov. Woodrow Wilson came off with first honors from a test of strength with the conservative forces in the convention. On a roll call the convention, by a vote of 683% to 437, seated the ten Wilson delegates from South Dakota who had been unseated by the committee on credentials. Governor Wilson, In turn, lost part of this gain when the six delegatee from the Philippines were unseated on the ground that the Democratic party, having proclaimed that these islands were not and should not ever become a part of the United States, could not permit the islands to have a voice in the deliberations of the party. During the debate on the South Dakota case the Wilson adherents started a demonstration for their candidate which developed Into the greatest free-for-all presidential noise feat of recent years. One after,, another of the other candidates, through their friends, was brought Into a marching and shouting throng, each faction trying to outdo the others with Its cheers. Other Contests Are Bunched. After the disposition of the South Dakota and the Philippines cases the other contests were disposed of with one viva voce vote when the report of the credentials committee, as amended In these two instances, was adopted. This ended the Illinois fight between the Sullivan and Harrison factions, which was expected to be the headliner of the day, and the Sullivan delegates - stained their seats. Permanent organization then was perfected and Senator-elect OIHj M. James of Kentucky was introduced as permanent chairman of the convention. He delivered a long speech, devoted wholly to the tariff, finance and trusts, but he brought the delegates up standing with an eloquent tribute to Bryan near the close. Chance fqr Orators. A short session Wednesday afternoon was devoted to oratory and the resultant outbursts of enthusiasm awakened by the speakers. The convention adjourned until evening without transacting any business. The delay was caused by the fight over the Illinois contests before the on credential Parker Beats Bryan. By a J decisive majority—s 79 ta 506—Judge Alton B. Parker of New York waa elected temporary chairman of the Democratic national convention over William Jennings Bryan Tuesday. Senator Kern of Indiana was Bryan’s candidate for the position and the Nebraskan made a desperate fight in b» half of his man, but was foroed la the end to become a candidate himself and lead the progressives in the fight afeainst the New York man.
