in great demand. Not a coat was to

delegate's .eats began to till up.
William .1? nnings p.ry'an entered tho
convention hall shortly before S
o'clock, and as he made his way to
the# rear of the plattvrm was cheered
again and again.
Mrs. Taft arrived soon after Mr.
Bryan and w ent to tlie place reserved i

he shouted. There was much confu?

Cnnlrman James directed the set -
gcant-at-arms to sec that delegates
were admitted.
Ilryan Springs Surprise.
Mr. Bryan here arose and sprung a
surprise by Introducing a resolution
and asking for Its immediate consid?
eration. Mr. Bryan read .is follows:
"Resolved. That in this cilsls in our
party's career, and in our country's
h story, this convention' s. ti is greet?
ing 10 the people of the United states
and assures them that the party of
Jefferson and of Jackson is sun the
champion of popular government and
equality before the law. As proof of;
our fidelity in the people, we hereby i
declare ourselves opposed to the nomi?
nation of any candidate for President
who is the representative of or under
any obllgat'on to J. Pierpont Morgan.
Thonits 1. Ryan, August Bclmont, or
any other member Of the privilege
hunting and favor-seeking class.
' Be It further resolved, that we de?
mand the withdrawal from this con?
vention of any delegate or delegates;
Constituting 01 representing the above!
named Interests."
Th? Nebraskan was interrupted by
cheers several times during the road- |
ing of the resolution. |
"Is there objection to Immediate
consideration?'' asked Chairman James.!
"1 object." said a member of the
delegation, |
"1 demand his name." shouted Sen?
ator Luke Lea, of Tennessee, a Bryan I
lieutenant |
"My name is Thomas J. Spellay," '
said the objector.
lie is an alternate. |
"Objction having been made. it
move to suspend the rule and consider
the resolution at this time," said Mr.
Bryan.
The convention was thrown Into an
uproar.
Chairman James vvarned the spec?
tators to keep quiet.
Governor Gilchrlst, of Florida, made
a point of order that the convention
had no right to take the action sug
t'-ted by Mr. Bryan.
Has night 10 Do \a It Pleaaes.
Chairman James held the convention
had the right to do what it saw tit
and declared the motion in order, with
twenty minutes on each side for de?
bate.
A delegate from Connecticut, rising
to a parliamentary question, demanded
to know- if Mr. Ryan was not a regu?
larly accredited member of the Vir?
ginia delegation.
'The gentleman will consult the ii?t
of delegates and Und out for himself."
sa'd Chairman James.
Mr. Bryan then began his argument
for the resolution.
"This Is an extraordinary resolution,
but extraordinary rondltons nee.i ex
traordlnaryj^Etfraedte*." said Mr. Bryan,
"We are ..now engaged In conducting
a convention that will place before
the country the Democratic nominee,
and I assume that each delegate is
here because he wants that nominee
elected, and it is In order that we may
advance the interests of our candi?
date that 1 introduce this, resolution.
"There are questions upon which
we may assume the American people
are Informed." he continued. "And
there is not a delegate in this conven?
tion who does no: know that an effort
lr being made right now to sell the
Democratic party to the bondage or
the predatory interests
"It is most brazen, Impudent and
Insolent attempt to make the nominee
of this convention the bond-slave of
the men who exploit the people of this
country."
He then denounced Messrs Ryan,
Beimont and Morgan an the men In?
volved The convention cheered the
speaker to the echo.

Mr Bryan, "that ?o have no right |
to discuss the delegates here."
"I said at." interrupted Governor ,
Gllchrlst, of Florida, who remained on
the platform.
Ilcaenta (lie "Insult."
"I Bay.!' retorted Mr, Bryan, "that if
these men are willing to insult ai.\ and
a half million people. Democrats ought
t>. 8|? all out against them and let thfill
know wi resent the insult,
"l tor one am not willing that llyan
and Beimoiil should come hc.e with
their paid' attorneys and seek secret
conferences with the managers of the
party. No sense of politeness wili keep
me troni protecting inj party."
Mr. Bryan said he could not speak
for the delegates, they had llioir own
responsibility. It the delegates wanted,
the men mentioned tu run the con- .
volition Mi. Bryan sail in- ami those
lie represented wanted a chance to go,
on record, lie refused to take the re?
sponsibility or doius otherwise.
"I'll make you a proposition," said
Mi. Bryan; "mo o: the men?Mr. Bel
tnout?sits with Ne w York; the other?\
Mr. llyan?with the Virginia delega?
tion. It New York will tuke a poll'
of its vote, and if a majority?not Mr.
Murphy, hut a majority ot its dele-j
gates, will protest against the with?
drawal of Mr. Bcimont, and 11 Virginia ,
on roll call will protest against tho i
withdrawal of Mr. Kyan, 1 will with-1
draw the last part of my resolution !
requesting their withdrawal from the
convention. Hut 1 will not withdraw the
tust part, which demands that our can- j
dldate shall be fi ve from entanglement I
with iliese in? n." I
Again the convention was In an up- i
roar and Mr. Bryan found it ditll
cult to proceed.
Flood Accepts CIiiiIIciiko.
Representative Flood, or Virginia,]
asked for recognition, and Mr. Bryan j
yielded to him. While Mr. Flood was!
waiting lor the convention to grow j
quiet he indulged in a sharp Inter- ;
enaiigc wilh .Mr. Bryan, the latter
finally stepping hack und taking Ids;
seat on ttie platform. Applause- and
interruption prevented Mr. Flood from!
speaking for several minutes.
"In the name of that sovereign State!
of Virginia," shouted Flood. "1 ascept
tlie insolent proposition made by the
only man In this convention who
watits io destroy Democratic success."
'i s brought many of tho delegates
to thejr feet with a roar.
While the disturbance was on Mr.
Kyan arose from his place In the Vir?
ginia delegation and got a shout of
greeting from those Sealed near him.
?Jr. Flood, after accepting the Bryan
challenge, retired. The New York
del.gates had been missing up to this
tlipe, engaged in a Mate Caucus.
They came in while the uproar was
^??ing on and added to the tumult.
I While a dozen men were trying from
th platform to bring: the convention tu
order, Senntor-Klect Vardaman, of Mis?
sissippi, came to the front of the plat?
form and made an appeal for order.
I "You can't settle anything by tho i
use of your throats." he shouted to tho I
turbulent convention. "The time has!
|come for reason, moderation and |
j thought. ion cannot afford to throw,
away the opportunity now, before the
Democratic party."
Mr. Vardaman declared that Bryan's'
[?solution contained "in part some
merit." He approved the first part. He
did not think the convention should
touch upon Ihe right of ihe States in
tho selection of delegates.
"At th same time." added Varda-;
man. -'| think the fi wer we have ot
the class named by Mr. Bryan the bel?
let chance we will have in November.'"
.lohn W. Price, of \ li glnla. also
asked tim< fr^m Mr. Bryan to make a
statement. ,
"On behalf of the State of Virginia
we protest as to the latter part ot tlie?
resolution.'' he said, "but no one will
accede more heartily to the nrsi part!
of it.- ill
He declared Virginia had been able
to control her internal r,ffalrs. and did.
not ask outside aid.
( mi Bight Own Wrongs.
"If there are undesirable nie-n In the
Virginia delegation.'' he said, "Vir?
ginia will laku the responsibility. Vlr
I gina can right her wrongs and demand
her rights without -outside interler
rence."
Mr. Bryan, resuming his argument,
I .-aid he would modify his resolution an
It'-. Virginia and the unseating of Mr.
' Kyan. as two meu had spoken for that
1 state, objecting to the latter part of
ihe resolution.
"Does New York ask the withdrawal
of the last part of the resolution'.'"
questioned Mr. Bryan.
"No, ice" came from the floor.
""Withdraw it yourself," shouted
some one.
' 1 prefer t>< hear from New York
I herself."
Hi The New York delegation sat in
absolute silence.
H ? "Then I yield the lloor 10 the op
1 osltlon, reserving the right tu close
the discussion," .-aid Mr. Bryan.
Former Governor William A. McCor
kle. of West Virginia, u&ked from ihe
?oor for an opportunity to speak ana
was called up to tho platform. After
declaring that the Democratic party
has never been controlled by any In
I forests, Mr. MacCorkle raid: "1 appeal
! to every Democrat in the country. Is
not the resolution a ten?c!ess and
loollsh resolution?"
I Applause and cheers greeted him.
' "Co for him," shouted a delegate.
Hit hint again." called another. Gov
i ot nor MacCorkle said the resolution
Could only produce strife and trouble,
land had put success further off than
,'. had bc< n half an hour ago."
lie hoped it would bo "the duty of
ihe convention" to vote down the. reso
.:.-;i and not alienate "the substan?
tial interests of the country."
Governor MacCorkle pleaded for
I compromise, when it did not mean a
I' i ? mpromlst of princ iple.
: 'This resolution has no need here
J to-night." he 'said.
"That'? light." came a -.oice.
I rU'proserUutlvc Flood arose, lie
to corn t what he believed to
b. a misapprehension on Mr. Bryan's
?
i "Virginia asks nothing of Mr,
Bryan, ???? snouted. 'We <io riot feel
-, that v il v. to go to him for advice
oi counsel."
A great cheer Interrupted him.
( "Hit him again," canto ugain from
ih< floor "We are With you.'
i "A convention of 1,000 Virginians?
ja:- h?hest,.men as William J. Bryan
ever was-" began Mr. Flood, and
another uproar Interrimted him. "As
j good Democrats as he ever can be,
?j elected without a. dissenting voice,
Thomas P. Ilyan a delegate to thU
. i.\ ?
Anoilu : outbreak followed, this.
Hisses cabio from several parts of the
hull. '
1 :? p: < sentatlve Flyod declared again
tuai Virginia accepted "the challenge
of the only man who wishes to do-,
stroy tho Democratic party."
DcU'KUten Mount i linlrn.
Delegates in various parts of the
hall mounted their chal.S and waved ?
their hats, hut the greater part Of the
applause came from outside the dele?
gate section.
?'1 m ?lad he proposes to withdraw
that part of it which reflects upon
the Integrity, manhood and honor of
Virginia,"1 concluded Flood, and a
cheer greeted his conclusion.
When Mr. Flood had concluded, Mr
Bryan arose to dose ins argument.I
lie said it was not necessary for Mr. J
Flood to deliver a eulogy of the State1
ot Virginia. It was there his father j
was born, and he would bo the last!
to raise a ?lUvstlon as to the integrity
of its Democracy.
",\'or Is it necessary for me to de- !
tend my own Democracy." I
"Boo. boo," came from a continent I
dclegutes.
?Sit down, sit down." called oth-l
eis. i
"I do not intend that any delegate
shall shield his vote against the prin?
cipal part of this resolution by hid-]
Ing behind the last part. j
?In answer to the argument that
this resolution should not bi intro?
duced here to disturb harmony, 1 com?
mend to the gentleman from West
Virginia the Bible doctrinet -if thy
right hand offend thee, cut it oil."
"My right baud wilt hot be worth
defending when It beconi^ necessary
to defend It against a friend ot Thus.
!?*. Ityan. 1 now withdraw--"
A chorus of mingled < hcers and
jeers greeted this statement. "Vole. .
vole." came a shout. "And I'm sure I
if Its worth while to cut off the right I
hand to save the body, its worth cut-!
ting off ityan ami Belmont and Mor-I
gun to save the Democratic party." |
With this. Mr. Bryan sat down. ,
Lewis Nixon, ot New York, then took
the stage.
??The sovereign State of New York
does not ask that any part of this
resolution be withdrawn. Wo ask for ?
a vote," declared Mr. Nixon.
Chairman James had the rueulutu-n
trail as modified by Mr. Bryan.
It omitted all ot the lust paragraph i
demanding the withdrawal of delegates
representing Ityan, Belmoui or Mor- j
gan. I
Lewis Nixon and several other dele- j
gales protested against Mr. Bryan be?
ing allowed to withdraw any part of1
the resolution, demanding a vote on ;
it ..s a whole. The question then was :
put. on the motion to suspend the ?
lules, and passed the resolution.
The convention was in disorder as!
the clerk called "Alabama." A chorus |
of points of order and violent demands
thai all of the original resolution be
read broke forth,
Tvvn-Thtrda Vote rten,ulrrd.
Out of the confusion it was revealed
that it would require a two-thirds vote '
to suspend the rules and adopt tile
resolution.
Alabama f'nally voted twenty-four
noes. Before the next Stale could be ?
called the floor was in complete con?
fusion. Arizona was called five times j
and no response could be heard. Art
zona voted five ayes and one no.
.vfter w'ld disorder Arkansas cast a !
solid eighteen for the resolution, and
Colorado was passed.
Connecticut's fourteen voted no. By ,
litis t'tne tile disorder was such as'j
to make the calling of the roll impos- I
Bible, and Chairman .lames ordered the
n'slcs cleared and the delegates seat- j
e'.
Lach delegation had gathered In an
excited group in an efort to poll the J
Vote. The issue caused an argument !
in each State's representation. When!
some semblance of order was restored
the chair ordered the proposition
staled again, and made It plain that ;
a two-thirds voto was necessary to I
pass the resolution. The roll call was |
then begun again, only aga'n to inspire !
confusion on the floor. "Let's adjourn
for twenty minutes to fix this up."
yelled a delegate. But things quieted
down a t>it and the call was resumed. i
<>n the new attempt to lall the roll,
the Stares began to shift. Anoth.-r ;
wave of confusion swept the room,
and the roll cull proceeded In a tu?
mult of shouts, protests and jeers
that rose above, the steady hum of.
excited conversation among the del?
egates trying to arrange the votes
of their hlates. It was almost im?
possible to follow the roll call.
Tho fifty-eight votes of Illinois
were cast for the Bryan resolution I
nnd the result was greeted With a |
cheer.
Virginia war railed out of her turn,
and she voted 23 1-2 aye, 1-2 no. i
Charles F. Murphy, standing in the
centre aisle, shouted: "New York'
votes ninety aye"
The crowd cheered the announce- :
ment. Missouri. Champ '"lark's home
State, voted 31 ayes, 2 noes. Ke-I
guarding the half vote from Virgi- '
nia. It was that of Bobert Tunstall. '
Mr. Tunstall announced himself when
there were shouts that it was the
I vole of Mr. F.yan.
Shift* t0 Aye Columns.
After Now York and Virginia had
voted, half n dozen States demanded
; ?h opportunity to "correct" their
j votes. Indiana shifted twenty-one
j votes from the no to the aye column, j
Several other States endeavored to
Shift before the end of the roll call.
By this time it became apparent
that the States were generally shift?
ing to favor tn* resolution. The con- '
j servative leaders went from delega
tlon to delegation working feverishly.
Kvldently they passed the word that j
the resolution as modified was not I
objeiitlonable. The success of the 1
pi oposit Ion then was certain The
vote which gave the resolution two
thirds of the votes In the convention
Was cast by Texas. That State voted
firty solid for the resolution. This
I gave the proposition ? ?".7 votes.
Seven hundred and twenty-six was
two-thirds, with the six Philippine
ceiegates eliminated by this after
I noon's action. Before the result of
jibe roll call was announced. Delaware,
I lorlda, Connecticut. Montana and half
? dozen other States shifted votes to the
, aye column. Then others followed.
The vote wast Ayes, .'S3. Noes, 116.

When Alabama, the tust State on
the roll, whs called th- chairman of
the delegation announced that William
Ii. Bankheiifl would speak, lie placed ?
in nomination Oscar W. Underwood. '?
Uankhcad concluded at 11:18 P. M..
and the Alabama delegates leaped
cheerlnir to their feet. They were'
joined by the Oorglans and other Un-I
derwood delegates. Underwood bon-|
ners and Underwood pictures were held;
far aloft. The band played "Olxle."
while the Underwood demonstration
w as on, a Georgia d< legate, Thomas J.
Brown, walked to the stage and re?
leased a white dove of peace. The
dove seemed frightened by the lights
and nols-e and tlutt.ro I down to one
of the clerk's desks.
Next, the Underwood forces started',
a parade through the aisles, two of!
Ir.epi carrying little Hiss Brewer, the!
fo'tirtcen-yoar-old daughter of Gov?
ernor Brewer, of Mississippi, at the
head of the line.
The Underwood ontliuslsm continued!
for twenty-six minutes.
The call of the States was then re-?
sumcd. ArUona yielded to Missouri, and j
Senator'James A. Heed, of that state,!
took the platform to nominate Speak-i
er Champ Clark. He was applauded as
Ik began.
Senator Reel concluded at 12225 ami I
a demonstration for Clark was linmo-|
diatcly started and continued some
time.
The Clark demonstration which be?
gan at 12:25 lasted oiu hour and live
minutes. Quiet was restored at 1:30 and
the meeting of the platform com?
mittee at 11 O'clock I-??morrow was
announced.
J, T. Uoblnson. Governor-elect of
Arkansas, then took the platform to
second the nomination of Clark.
Robinson talked Jusl live minutes.
California seconded tie nomlntalon
of Clrak. Colorado \? as passed. Then
ramo Connecticut aal Henry Wada
Rogers, ot Now Raven, took th< plat?
form to nominate Govuruir Sime.ui K.
Baldwin, of Connecticut.
Mr. Rogers llhlshed his speech nom?
inating trovernor Bal'lv/iu at - A M.
At the conclusion of Rogers's speech j
the Connecticut delegation began a
demonstration for Baldwin, it lasted
but a few minutes. The Baldwin ad?
herents w.re not many, but lusty
lunged, and while their demonstra?
tion lasted It was unit- a noisy one.
A large number of tin newspaper cor- j
respondents under the direction of a '
cheer leader helped out the Baldwin
enthusiasts.
At 2:8 A. M. the .-.ill of the States
was resumed. Delaware yielded to
New Jersey. John W Wescott. of
that State, went forward to nominate
WoveFn?r Wilson. Th- Wilson peo?
ple did not wait for Ihe speech to
begin fhelr demonstration. Hats were
thrown In the air, banners broke out.
and there was a noisy din both on
the floor and in the galleries. One of
tlie Wilson banners was hoisted In
the Ohio delegation and read: "Ohio
gives nineteen votes for Wilson."
Wescott's Speech
Nominating Wilson!
Baltimore. June 27.?The speech
placing the name ??: Governor Wood
row Wilson, ot N- xy? Jersey, in nom?
ination for the presidency was de?
livered by formt r Judge John W.
Wescott. of Camdell, N. J. Mr. Wes?
cott spoke as follows:
New Jersey, once bound, but. by
the moral energy and Intellectual
greatness of a single soul, now tree,
comes to tills great convention. In
the glory of her emancipation, to par?
ticipate in your deliberations, aid In
formulating your Judgments and assist
In executing your decree-. The New
Jersey delegation Is not empowered
to exercise the attributes of proprie?
torship, but is commissioned to rep?
resent tiie great cause of Democracy
and to offer you. as Its militant and
triumphant leader, a scholar, not a
charlatan; a statesman; not a doc?
trinaire; a profound lawyer, not a
splitter of legal hairs: a political
economist, not an efotlstlcal theorist:
a practical politician, who constructs,
modifies, rest: ans without distur?
bance and destruction; a resistless de?
bater and consummate mastt r of
statement, not a mere phrasemaker; a
humanitarian, not a defamor of char?
acters and lives; a man whose mind is
at once cosmopolitan and composite
of America, a gentleman of unpreten?
tious habits, with the fear of God in
his heart and the love of mankind
exhibited in every act of nis life;
above all. a public servant who has
been tried to the uttermost and nev
t r found wanting?peerless, matchless,
unconquerable
New Jersey lias reasons for her
course. Let us not be deceived in
our premises, iimpaigns of vilifica?
tion, corruption and false pretense
have lost theli usefulness- The evo?
lution of natloi .1 energy Is; towards
? a more Intelligent morality in poli?
tics anfl in ai! other relations. The
line of cleavag. is between those who
treat politics a game and those
who regaid 1' as the serious bust
? nosh of government. The realignment
of political p ties will be on this
p: inciple.
i The situation idmlta rf no compro?
mise. The temper and purpose of thej
American publl. will tolerate no other,
view. The Indifference of the Ameri?
can people to i .lilies has disappeared.
Any platform ad any candidate not
conforming to this vast social and com
jmcrclal behest etil go down to igno?
minious defeat t the pells. Platforms
i are loo often mere nlstorlc rubbish
heaps of brokt :. promi? s. Candidates
? rre too frequent): the unfortunate crca
turse of arrangements aud calcula?
tions. Exigencies, conditions, national
needs and !,? cfsltles make better
{platforms and produce greater Bailors
! than does tin ? xcrclse of proprietor?
ship. A disregard of this first promise
v ill bring put dreams crashing Into
iiuins next November.
Again, th- eternal conflict between
equal opportunity and special privilege
iis upon us. Om fathers wrote the Is?
sue of that st: iggle In our Constitu-I
lions. They declared all men to be
free and equal In a /Ingle century,
that principle developed the North
; .\merican ror.tinent, leavening the!
I world with it.-: hcnegccntc, inspired alii
nations with ho - and made th" United,
i States the asy ;m of the world. Vet
, America, at this very hour, presents'
the most Btupcndcotis contradiction in;
jhUtory?a people politically free, whllsl
economical!; i und by the most gigan?
tic monopolies f all time, and burden
. .i by a systei of taxation w hich ex?
ploits mllll' :.- to enrich a few. Wo
have preserved the forms of freedom,
but are fa--t losing Its substance. The
evils or thin . ondltlon are felt In a
thousand ways throughout the land.
Therefore It Is thnt America Is awake.
Therefore it |? that a mistake In our
premises will , fatal. Therefore It IS
trat the situation, national exigency,
the crisis cull for the right mnn.
[Therefore it is that a silent and reslsl
Iless revolution demands our patriotic
and best Judgment. Individuals are as
nothing, mil personal" ambitions are
wotse than nothing. it the chosen
candidate tails In any sense or In any
degree fully and completely to meet
tho call of the nation, he is doomed to
defeat.
Men are known by what they say and
do. They are known by those who
hat? and oppose them. Many years
ago Woodrow Wilson said. "No man la
great who thinks himself so. and no
Iran Is good who doeo not try to se?
cure the happiness and comfort of oth?
ers." This is the secret cf his life.
Later, in ills memorable effort to re?
tain good scholarship i. nd democracy
in Princeton University, he declared.
"The great voice of America dors hot
> onto from scats of leani ng. It comes in
a murmur from the hills and woods, and
l!<c farms and factories and the mills,
rolling on and gaining volume until It
comes to us from the homes of com?
mon men. i>o these m'.irmurs echo In
the corridors of our universities? I
here not heard them." A clarion call
to the spirit that now moves America.
l.ater ho shouted. '1 will not cry
pi sc? so Ion? as there '.i sin and wrong
in the world." Here Is the very soul
of the silent revolution now solidifying
sentiment and purpose in our common
country.
The deeds of this moral and Intel?
lectual giant are known to all men.
They accord not with the shams and
t:? Is= ?- pretenses of politics, but make
national harmony with the millions
01 patriots determined to correct the
wrongs of plutocracy and re-establish
the maxims of American liberty In ail
their regnant beauty and practical ef?
fectiveness. New Jersey loves Wood
row- Wilson not t<>" the enemies he has
made. New Jersey loves him for what
he Is. All evil is his enemy. The In?
fluences that have oppesed him have
demonstrated his avail ability and fit?
ness on the one hand, and exposed the

New Jersey believes that there is

Marshall Nominated
by Benjamin Shively
Raltlmore, June 27.?Senator Ben?
jamin P. ShlvelV, of Indiana, present?
ing the name of Thomas R- Marshall,
Governor of Indiana, for the presiden?
tial nomination, spoke In part as fol?
lows:
I "I speak for the Democracy of a
.state whose vote has carried the State
for every Democratic President In
! uugurated from James Monroe. to
I Grover Cle veland. Trhough all the
ninety.six years of Its statehood, as
Indiana has gone, so has gone the
Union. Whenever In all these years
Indiana has been won for the national
ticket the presidency bar, been won.
Whenever Indiana' has been lost the
presidency has been lost.
"Through her whole history Indiana
has been the country's centre of po?
litical conflict, struggle, stress and
.storm, and Is to-day the unfa'llng
barometer o: national political temper,
political purpose and political fortune.
The candidate who can carry Indiana
for the national ticket can enrry all
tii. stales necessary to the election of
the national ticket.
"Though his otflelnl activities and
experience have been within the
the Slate, covernor Marshall has been
since his early youth a student 0/ all
that pertains to tho Federal govcrn
llioilt. Nono knuws better than ho
that nothing can bind, ur chain, or
circumscribe, or limit power but pow?
er; thut the check and balance ot
power against power Is the vital prin?
ciple of our political system; that tho
twilight zono Is only that) shadowy
region where usurped power and sel?
fish ambltlbn recklessly sport with
human rights; that simplicity and
economy In government aro the com?
rades of efficiency and Btrcngth, and
that extravagance is Inseparable from
sloth. Inefficiency and weakness. <
"None Is better equipped to exposo
and dissolve that maze of sophisms by
which Interested selfishness makes a
puzzle of political power only to re?
duce it to private prollt. and that
makes mystery of government only,
amid the confusion, to convert it into
political and personal merchandise.
"If you ask me whether he is con?
structive, I reply that Be constructs to
rights, to liberty, to Justice, to se?
curity, not to special privileges or sal?
tish power. If yon inquire whether he
Is progressive, I reply that his creed
Is that of Jefferson npplhd to the so?
lution of the vexed problems of this
llOUJ/. This, to the end that the tide
of special privilege may be turned
back, equality of security to rights be?
fore the law made a fact; the damp of
tho class fp'rit lifted front society;
caste dissolved In tlie sunshine of op?
portunity, and Justice restored to the
millions of plain, industrious citizens,
who pray no boon from government
save recognition of their Imprescript?
ible right to enjoy the rewards of
their own toll, undlmlnlshed by exac?
tions to enrich special darlings of!
power.
"Would you have a ? andldatc who In ]
character, capacity and fitness answt is

code can subject the high honor of

candidate whose commanding ability
and virile democracy have redeemed

sleal vigor and Intellectual power?
Would you have a candidate unhamp?

Democracy of 1 <s State? Would* you :
have a candidate about whose fidelity

"In the nirly days of November,

D. Flood, of Virginia, who seconded
the Alabaman's nomination for the
I presidency. Mr. Flood spoke in part
as follows:
"It is a pleasant task to Voice the
sentiment of our State for one of the
splendid Democrats whose name li.-f s
been presented, and it Is with gnat
pleasure that I. in the name of the
people of Virginia, upon whose soil
his ancestors were born, second the
nomination of Oscar W. l.'nderwood.
of Alabama, for the office of President
of the United Stales.
I "On the one hand 1 feel that I ren?
der a service to the republic in pre?
senting the fittest man within her
borders for this great office, whUo on
the oilier. I propose the r.arno of a
gentleman, for whose purity of private
life and lovable personal traits I feel
a sincere and an affectionate regard.
"Never in its history has tlie Demo?
cratic party been more entitled to he
intrusted with power than it is at this
time; never has It been more deserv?

ready to enlist under ::.. banner, whose
aid will carry our ticket to victory
in November.
"In this campaign we can appeal to
tiie people upon a record of achieve
no :it unrivalled in tlie political his?
tory of the country.
"After being out of power In every
branch of the government for over
fourteen years, a Democratic House
convened in April. 1011; it was organ?
ized by the Ways and Means Commit?
tee, with Underwood a* chairman,
with a rapidity and smoothness that
commanded the admiration and re?
spect of all, and with Underwood as
l.a.ler it proceedrd without delay to
put Into effect, as far as the House
rould do so, the declarat'ons of the
Democratic platform of 190S.
??Fron, tho standpoint ot the Demo?
cratic party the two sessions of the
Sixty-second Congress have been the
most important and successful held
elurlng the past half a century. In
the comtngsfcontest we will ask to be
Judged by the work of the House of

under the leadership of Oscar Under?

"All of the speakers who have pre
I ceded me and who have traced the.
Ihistory of Democratic achievements in
the present Congress were paying,
though It might have been uncon?
sciously, a tribute to the. leadersh'p.
ability and capacity of Oscar Under?

Democratic party In the Sixty-second
Congress that Is not an eulogy of
Oscar Underwood. Blot out h's work
In that Congress and we would have
little to appeal to the people upon;

"New phrases have grown up In our
political nomenclature. We hear of
'progressives' and 'reactionaries,' and
some assume authority to label others
as the one or the other without refer?

"The wl.se leader, however, is the

"In the last tor. lecades in national

I regenerated by Ohio's great Democratic

under whose leadership Democracy In

The speaker then reviewed th"
achievement* of the administration of
Harmon as Governor of Ohio, referring
to his approval ot a system of taxation
and revenue and workmen's compen?

The speaker said that progression is
the order "t the day. and that, guided

gaging attention on the floor. National
Commltteeman Mack hurried, hot and
excited, to the room where t?e New

dered, did the New Yorkers emerge,
sweating and fuming, from the confer?

"Unanimous for Harmon." was tho
chorus they chanted as they hurried
to their seats on the floor.
Representative William Sulzer, who
urged the cause of Champ Clark, came
