Rained f.fteen.
Tho thirty-third bal'iot found- the
leaders practically at a standstill, Wil?
ton merely holding his total of the
thirty-second, while Clark gained one
from Underwood in Virginia. Al
the end of this ballot, the Clark in ?>
pic revived their drooping spirits bv
displaying a big bann?r on which the
following tribute to Clark from w. j.
.Bryan in 10HI was printed In red:
"I have known Champ Clark eigh?
teen years. He is absolutely Incorrupt
ahlo and his life Is nbpva reproach.,
Nnver in all these, ycai have I known
1.1m to bo upon T.ut.on'e ;lde of a ques?

Then- wai. a cheer ns tho Missourlnhl
displayed the banner abovo their dole,

ut.?.
"Take it over to Nebraska and stiov
it to Bryan," shouted soin< one. Nt
sooner was thl3 said than the Mis
sounans acted Oti the si.jigesllon. Tim
came trouble. Bryan arose and face,
his tormentors for a moment. Severn
policen.ent hurried to his side, atii
with them as an escort the Nebraskai
fairly fought his way to the

"Is the M'ssouri d<-lei:at!on respon

In tho tiproad that, followed Brya

"Anything against Bryan " shoiitt
a Missouri delegate, shaking his tlst
ai the Smiling Nebraskan. From the
aisle the policemen assisted tlio No
braskau up onto tho platform. Half
it dosen hand-to-hand tights followed
as ihe Clark men tried to curry their
banner up oh the platform behind
Bryan.
They scaled the press stand, but
tvefi hurled back to the ttoor. Another
s?!ies of :ist fights ensued] A score of
pell cmcn fought (ii vain to quiet the
shrieking, lighting mob.
Ai one end of the hull the huge Wil?

"The chatr regret.* to rule tbat" the

A cheer greeted this, and Mr. Bryan

work, ami to-ntght a match of offense
touched to tho excitement, would have
set the entire convention ablaze.
It was on this situation that many
of the loaders based a hope of a Until
voto end nomination before the night
: was over. Thev argued that tho Weary
d< legates, tried by a week of work,
would break from the hard and fast
lines they have been holding and throw
enough votes to one of tho candidates
to end tho cgony of suspense. Others
contended that the situation tnado im
, possible an agreement on nny one of
tho candidates now before the conven?
tion. They pointed to to-day's phy
rdoai clash botween th? Clark and Wil?
son forces as an evidence that tho
feeling between the two was so hitter
1 that neither would allow enough votes
to go to the other nominee.
The Wilton forces. however, en
couraged by their steady gains through
the day, were optimistic. They as?
serted that in time they would secure
a majority of the convention, and that
then, the delegates, ready to do almost
? anything to end the struggle, would
tlock to the YV'ison standard.
Another attempt to reach some sort
of an agreement among the leaders
; failed to-night.
Tho so-called "conservatives" were
in conference. National Chairman 1
Norman 13. Mack. Charles F. Murphy,
of Tammany Hall. Colonel George liar
v< y, Representative Fitzgerald, ot New
York, and Rogor C. Sullivan, of Illi?
nois, dined together. After tho talk
Chatvman Mack declared that every
on" seemed to be "sitting t'glit."
"I do not believe either Wilson or
Clark ran be nominated now," " de?
clared Mr. Mack Just before the con?
vention Avas colled to order.
The gnlierlcs wero crowded as the .
time grew near for tho calling of Ute I
roll for the thirty-fifth ballot. They
had been thrown open to the general
public snd the public took advantage!
of the occasiou.
Tho calling of the session was de- ?
laved by the failure of the leaders to |
arrive. Chairman James did not rcren
the stnd unt'l S:?n. A moment later ?
he dropped his gavel and prayer was
offered by the Rev. Clayton H. Ranrk. 1
Chairman .Tames then ordered the |
roll called for the thirty-fifth ballot.
The rumored break In Illinois?did I
not occur. Its fifty-eight stayed solid |
with Clark. j
The break in the Michigan delega?
tion came according to schedule. Th?
.. Ilson '.eieg.ues cheered as the vote
was announced: "Wilson. 27; Clark,
? 3.;',
This ?rave Wilson fifteen additional
votes, taking them from the Clark
column.
The steady rratn wht?h Wilson hnd
been making all day continued on the
th'rty-ftfth ballot, 'the New Jersey
Governor securing fifteen votes net.
Clark lost 14. t'nderwood's vote re?
mained at 101 1-2. Kern lost 1.
The result was:

Kern, 1.
I"oss, 2$.
Absent, 1-2.
Speaker Clark received only 4331-2 I
votes on this ballot, his low mark since 1
the beginning of the contest. On the I
first ballot he received 440 1-2 votes, |
and hilt vote |nc reas'ed slowly until the
tenth ballot, when it bounded upward
as the result of New York's ninety
votes going to him in a body. After
he received a majority vote, however.
Iiis forces struck a stone wall In the
opposition of Mr. Bryan. Mr. Clark's
oposltion openly boasted that the Mls
strength would disintegrate
rapidly from tho point where he had
lost a part of Ills opening vole.
On the thirty-sixth ballot the change
was Immaterial. Clark gained a sin?
gle vote and Wilson secured two ad?
ditional. The result was:
Clark. 134 1-2.
Wilson. 40C 1-2.
Underwood, 5S 1-2.
Harmon, 2i.
Kern. 1.
Foss. 28.
Absent. 1-2
Affor the thirty-sixth ballot Chatr
mnn James surrendered the gavel to
Senator O'Gormnn. of New York.
< >n th'- thirty-seventh ballot Clark
lost two, W'lsoh'S vote remained tin- I
changed Underwood gained two. The
shift of two from i'lnrk to i'nderwood '
was th.- only change on this ballot. H
In Connecticut L'nderwood gained
four from the Clark column. Whon
Florida was called a roll was demand?

that of the twelve delegates, two wero
for Wilson *\nd ten for Underwood. H

mary had been held applied to the
Florida delegation, and the voto was

the temper of tho delegates grew !

demand for the poll of a delegation
awakened the bitterness that lay be?
neath the proceedings.
Hisses, halt-hearted cheers and J?er3 >
