BAIiTIMOUK, June 28.—The
riil«s committee of the democrat
ic national convention this after
noon by a vote of 21 <o 10, agreed
to recommend to the convention
at its session tonight that I lie re
quest 'of the resolutions committee
to have consideration and adop
tion of the platform follow, in
stead of precede, the nomination
of the national ticket, bo carried
out.
This was a distinct llctory for
the progressives, as the plan was
a Bryan move.
FIFTH RtXUMHNT ARMORY,
lI.M/riMOKK, Md., June 26.—
Refusing to subside even after
yesterday's defeat, the progres
sives in the democratic national
convention today engaged in a
desperate effort to reverse yester
day's setback and succeeded in
regaining much of their lost
ground.
The first victory was in re-
Versing the program of the con
servative steering committee,
which Intended to continue the
temporary organization and make
Judge Parker the permanent
chairman. Instead, the progres
sives forced the election of Ollie
James of Kentucky by the com
mittee on permanent organiza
tion to be permanent chairman.
Although instructed for Champ
Clark in the presidential fight,
James is a progressive and one of
Fryan's closest friends. II h key
note speech is expected to be
strongly progressive.
Bryan today repudiated the
Murphy-Taggart-Sullivan attempt
to mollify him, and refused erec
tion as chairman of the resolu
tions committee. He also made
It plain that, unless an out and
out progressive platform Is adopt
ed he will return a minority re
port and carry the fight back to
the floor, even to the voters -of
the country if forced to do so.
Bryan forced an unprecedented
step by having the resolutions
committee d,eviand that platform
be not adopted until the candi
dates are named.
The effect of this will be that
even if a conservative should get
the nomination he will nave to
run on a radical declaration of
principles.
In place of Bryan, John W.
Kern of Indiana, the commoner's
closest friend, was made-chair
man of the resolutions commit
tee. Because the credentials
committee was not ready to re
port the temporary roll, the con
vention "marked . time" today
listening to fervid oratory by par
ty leaders. The real Business
will not begin until tonight.

TESI TRACK
TODAY
F. A. Valentine, city paßsen

this morning received a telegram
from W. W. Hall, agent at New
York, stating that Fred J. Wag
ner, official starter; Billy Knep
per, official start«r; Edwin Herg
dahl. Ralph MuLford and Nell
Waling, contestants in the Mon
tamara Festo auto races, left New-
York today and will arrive here
with a carload of automobiles
Saturday night at 9:30 on the
Olympian fast passenger.
Beginning at 6' o'clock this
morning and lasting until 9
o'clock, the five-mile auto race
course at l.akevlew was a con
fusion of speeding autoes. For
the first time the track was
thrown open for practice and ev
ery driver was there with his car.
Teddy Tetzlaff was out in his Flat
"70," Earl DeVore was out with
his National, and Cooper with his
"50" Stutz.
As yet the track is soft on the
curves, bin Tetzlaff and the other
drivers are certain It will be in
prime condition for the races. Ex
cessive speed has not yet been
tried, but 60 and 75 miles an
hour, which is the average made
by Bruce-Brown when he won the
grand prix In Dieppe, France, yes
terday, is being maintained. As
soon as the racers become accus
tomed to the track they will tear
things loose.
"The track is a little soft yet,"
said Tetzlaff yesterday afternoon,
"but it will be all right when it
has been soaked and rolled. The
speed will be fast enough to place
this town on the map."
