Subsequently Senator Ollie M. l James of Kentucky was elected per manent chairman of this convention, j It appeared a foregone conclusion j that Roosevelt's bolt would insure the j election of p Democratic ticket. There was, therefore, a fierce contest for j the presidential nomination at Balti- j more. The convention was in session seven days, the first time any con vention, nad ever run over a Sunday. Bryan went to Baltimore determined to see a progressive candidate nomi- i nated and to fight the. New York dele- J gat ion to the bitter end. The Nebras- j ka primary election had instructed in favor of Ohamp Clark, of i and Bryan was one ptf the Nebraska ) delegates. The first ballot for pres ident. taken on June 29. resulted ar I follows: Clark. ■MO 1-2; Wilson. 324: Harmon, 143: Underwood. 117; with the re mainder of the votes scattering. Clark’s Peak On the tenth ballot Clark received his largest vote. 556 while Wilson re- i reived 350 1-2. and Underwood 117 1-2. I For eight ballots Clark had received votes of a majority of the convention, but under the Democratic rule, requir ing a two-thirds majority, could not be declared the nominee for president, i About this time Brya n went to the 1 nlatform and declared that as New York, originally voting for Judson ! Harmon. <had changed its vote to ! C'ark. he could no longer vote for the I Missourian and changed, with several 1 o’her Nebraska delegates, to Wilson. | From that time or\ Clark steadily J lost strengl-h. but W’ilson was not j nominated until the .forty-sixth ballot, when he received 990 votes Clar k,84; Harmon, 12. An even more exciting Incident than this, was when Bryan earlier In thp convention proceedings offered a re solution declaring: i "As proof of fidelity to the people , we hereby declare ourselves opposed to the nomination of any candidate for president who is the representa ; *ive of or under obligations to J. ( Pierpont Morgan. Thomas F. Ryan. , August Belmont, or any other mem ber of the privilege-hunting and fav 'irseeking class. “Be it further resolved. That we'de mand the withdrawal fro mthis con- I vention of any delegate or delegate constituting or representing th* above t named interests.” Beth Men Delegate# • Mr. Ryan and Mr. Belmon* were HENDERSON, (N. C„) DAILY DISPATCH, TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1932 ** I seated in the convention as delegates, the former from Virginia, the latter | from New York. ! This precipitated a wiki and furloua ! debate that continue dos romo.*e than an hour, an! the greatest excitement 1 prevailed aifong those who took issue with Bryan were J. Fred C. Talbott, of Maryland; Harry D. Flood, of Vir ginia; William A. McCorkle, of West Virginia; Lewis Nixon, of New York; Thomas J. Spellacy, of Connecticut, and John B. Stanohfield, of New York Finally -Mr. Bryan withdrew the latter part of the resolutions and the first part was adopted by a vote of 883 to 201 1-2. Most Spectacular Incident This incident, next to the demon stration in Chicago is 1896 was the most interesting and spectacular one that I ever saw in a Democratic na tional convention. At Baltimore, Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, was nominated on the ticket for vic<» president, over John I Burke, of North Dakota. * The Democratic convention in 19*6 met at St. Louis. And it was a complete love feast. Wilson and opposition and these was a contro- Marshall were renominated without j versy over the platform of conse quence . Former Governor Glynn, of New York, was temporary chairman and ; Ollie M. James, of Kentucky, perman ’ ent chairman of the S.it Louis conven ] tion. | 1 THE DAILY DISPATCH IS NOW ON sale at The Smoke Shop, Jefferson Case, Henderson Candy Kitchen, Wortman’s Pharmacy, Wiggins Drug Store, Agency.
