Baltimore.?Former Justice Alton B.
Parker of New York, who was elected
temporary chairman of the convention,
waa greeted with great applause as
he stepped upon the platform to de
liver the keynote speech.
Judge Parker said in part:
"We meet while the hills yet echo
to wild cries of liar, thief, and trai
tor, and furious wails of fraud, bri
bery, treachery and corruption; and
our ears are weary with the din of
the articulate shrieking and passion
ate villification of the most shameful
brawl of our political history. Our
candidates, however, are, without ex
ception, men of such lofty mien that
we meet immune from the distemper
which seized the Chicago convention
and privileged to discharge a solemn
public duty calmly, deliberately, ser
iously.
"The cause of government by the
people the world over has been ma
toHniiv rhprkftd bv the disgrace'iil
brawl which terminated in thle be J lam
of Chicago. Every good citizen has
been put to shame by the brutality and
the abuse which characterized tbis
wrangle between a President and ex
President. Gratitude, friendship, party
loyalty, patriotism and common de
cency were forgotten in the tussle.
"The assault upon the unwritten
prohibition against a third term made
in the wild scramble for the Repub
lican nomination warns us of the vital
necessity of incorporating in our con
stitution a safeguard against repeated
terms.
"The man who split his party at
Chicago, once reoognized the third
term tradition and acknowledged its
application to his situation. On the
eve of his triumph in nineteen hun
dred four he said: 'The wise custom
which limits the President to two
terms regards the substance and not
the form, and under no circumstances
will I be a candidate for or accept
rtino + mn '
ctUULllCi uuuuuauuu.
"Wrong in this year of grace, he
was right in that. Peradventure he
was honest with his soul and he
may have confessed to it that even
a President may be tempted to resort
to sordid devices and shameless im
portunities to gain his ambition. If
so, he was in mental condition to real
ize to the full the danger to the
republic involved in setting aside a
custom constituting the only bulwark
against assaults of men whose ambi
tion chokes their patriotism and
whose selfish desire for personal vic
tory and power throttles those moral
scruples with which they may once
have been endowed.
"Would the man who threw his hat
in the ring and sought to slug his
opponent over the ropes in his fight
for a third term rest satisfied with its
achievements?
"Clearly his lust of power would
have brooked no such limitation. A
third term would 'Dut have whetted
his desire for more and as the terms
slipped away each renewal would dis
cover greater injury to our constitu
tion, to the form of government estab
lished under it and to every legal curb
on his imperious will. This is the
man who menaced us with an increase
of Federal power by usurpation of
states rights and without authority of
constitutional amendment; the man
who took the Isthmus of Panama, and
let Congress debate about it after
wards;' the man who having enough
money to send the fleet on its famous
cruise to the Pacific sent it without
SOME OF THE PROBABL
Baltimore.?They declare, among
other things, for the following:
A tariff for revenue only. The break
ing of the control of big business over
the affairs of the country.
A regulation of the money trust so
that it shall not be a menace to the
country, and the destruction of its
power to create panics.
An income and, possibly, an inher
itance tax.
Effective regulation of the trusts,
and a declaration in favor of the per
First Money King at Convention.
Baltimore.?For the first time one
of the great money kings of America
has appeared in person at the naitonal
political convention to carry on the
fight for the money interests. Mr.
Thomas F. Ryan, multi-millionaire, of
New York, one of the heads of the
tobacco trust, head of the New York
Traction interests, and a power in
railroad and financial circles generally,
came to Baltimore Tuesday in his pri
vate car over the Pennsylvania rail
road.

This is the man who advocated Feder
al incorporation for the increase of
power at Washington and the lighten
ing of legal burdens on the corpora
tions; the man who authorized the
absorption of the' Tennessee Coal &
Iron Co. by the tSeel Trust; the man
who, by many such drastic acts, and
by unnumbered words has sought to
batter down our statutory and consti
tutional safegards.
"He who runs may read the dan
ger of the country ruled by such a
man.
"Unquestionably we have been
wrong in assuming that a tradition
against a third term constitutes a
sufficient safeguard against unscrupu
lous ambition for unlimited power
We need a definite constitutional lim
itation which shall prevent imperial
istic souls from forcing personal con

a successor in office. And the con
stitutional provision should limit to
a single term.
"In this great country which boasts
of a wealth of one hundred and thir
ty billion as against eighty billion
for Great Britain and Ireland; sixty
five billion for France and sixty billion
for Germany, all are conscious that
too large a part of our wealth has
been secured by a small percentage of
our population and that the cost of
living rises faster than the average
income.
"The principal cause of all this is
to be found in the tariff statutes and
in the combinations restraining trade
and competition, created for the pur
pose of wringing from the public
every dollar which the tariff statutes
make possible.
"The average of duties under the
tariff of 1789 was eight and one-half
per cent. Now the average is 50 per
cent.
"Protected interests .benefitted by
two increases during the war, the first
to an average of 37 3-2 per cent, the
second to 47 per cent. That high
average, then excused only by the ex
igencies of the war is exceeded now,
as the average is nearly 50 per cent. ,
"The Republican party has thus
geared the machinery of government i
to enrich the few at the expense of ,
the many.
"An aw.akening of the people led
the Republican national convention (
of 1908 by its platform to promise a (
revision. N
"In vain did the people demand of i
Congress the fulfillment of the Repub
lican pledge, for the masters of that ,
party?the protected Interests?InslBt- |
ed upon the pound of flesh nominated

"Mr. Taft said in a speech in 1908
that during the preceding' ten years
nine-tenths of the combinations to
restrain trade had come into exis- i
tence. During nearly all that due the
Republican party was in control of
every Northern, Eastern and Western
state.
"The reason for the encouraging in
activity of the Republican officials 1b
plain. The tariff beneficiaries were i
and for many years had been con- :
tributing to campaign funds of the i
party which in turn protected the
special privileges enjoyed by the do- :
nors. But competition prevented in i
some instances the collection from
the people of the full sum stipulated i
in the tariff. To secure it all, tempt- 1

The idea of having the platform
short and crisp, with the pledges made
in the fewest possible words, seems
to be growing in favor.
It is regarded as unwise to have it

Baltimore.?In spite of the interest
in the temporary chairmanship fight 1
and the speculation as to whether the
Murphy-Mack-Sullivan-Taggart combi
nation could put the "steam roller"
over Mr. Bryan, there was consider
able platform talk Tuesday among the
delegates. Mr. Bryan probably will t
be chairman of the committee on reso- i
lutions. He will be the representative 1
of his state on that committee and his i
oosition in the Dartv is such that the 1
place will be conceded to him by com- ]
mon consent. <
D AT BALTIMORE WHAT R00SE\
of the disturbing element. <
By a curious coincidence, the figures
are almost the same. In Chicago the 1
national committee stood 32 members i
against Colonel Roosevelt. Last night 1
the national committee by 31 votes se- i
lected Judge Alton Parker, of New i
York, for the temporary chairman of I
the convention. In Chicago Mr. Roose
velt's hat was in the ring. Here Mr.
Bryan has thrown his hat into the
ring, and here, as tn Chicago, the ;
national committee has welcomed the
to control the price up to the point
where the statute let In foreign com
petition. The same party which shut,
out foreign competition was found
willing to permit the formation of
combinations which effectually ban
act were treated by Republican offi
cials as repealed by implication. Need
it be said that the protected interests
for these larger privileges made larger
contributions?
"We are indebted to the President
for the evidence that his predecessor
having first enjoyed an interview, with
George W. Perkins restrained his At
torney General from bringing suit
against the Harvester combination.
"For the Steel oCrporation he went
further, for he wrote his Attorney
General in advance of its absorption
of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Co., that
he had decided 'to interpose no ob
jection.'
"Indeed he apparently stood ready
to perform similar kindly offices for
all corporations, for he advocated
the passage of a statute permitting
voluntary submission of all engaged
in interstate commerce to Federal
authority with the advantage to them
of immunity from prosecution because
of contracts made if stamped in ad
vance with executive approval as
reasonable.
"Whatever excuse may be offered,
the ugly truth is that the Republican
national machine has received the
moneys of the corporate and indivi
dual beneficiaries of the tariffs and
combinations and in return has com
pelled Congress to continue high the
tariff rates and their Attorney Gen
erals to close their eyes to violations
of law.
"I submit that the Jury of the peo
ple should find as a general verdict
'that the failure of the executive and
legislative branches of government
both federal and state, to protect the
people from the special privilege
hunters and graft seekers, is deeply
rotted in a corrupt alliance between
the latter and leaders of the Republi
can party.' Upon that verdict but
one" judgment can be entered?that of
eviction."
Judge Parker quoted the much
discussed letter written by Colonel
Roosevelt to the late E. H. Harriman

"The time has come when the sal

destruction of the leaders of a de
bauched party, and the restoration to
place and power of men of high ideals
who will wage unceasing war against
corruption in politics, who will enforce

and who will treat guilt as personal
and punish it accordingly.
"For their crimes against American
citizenship the present leaders of the
Republican party should be destroyed.

"For the lavish waste of the public

of the people's domain and for their
contribution toward the division of
the people into classes, they should be

"For these efforts to seize for the

government powers rightfully belong

"All destruction would be theirs,
this year, if we but do our duty.
"What is our duty?" To think alike
as to men and measures? Impossible!

Democrats are progressives. But it

all our worthy candidates his first

"It is our duty to put aside all self

us and to agree that this convention

is regarded as certain that the people
are fully aware of this.
Several Southern delegates added
their voices to a protest against any
plank in the platform calling for the
free admission of raw materials. The
industrial development of the South in
recent years and the development of
its productive capacity of raw mater
ials as well, causes delegates from the
3tates most affected zc look with dis
favor on radical free trade legislation.
Platform Underwood Forces Want.
Baltimore.?The Underwood forces
want a platform which will conform to
that adopted by the Democrats of Ala
bama, as far as it is applicable. That
platform declared for a tariff for rev
snue only, and demanded that such
taxes be limited to the necessity of
he government when honestly and eco
lomincally administered. It demanded
the rigid regulation of trusts and mo
nopolies, denounced the "profligate
waste" of public money by recent Re
publican congresses, and favored the
election of senators by the people.

There is the same violent language.
Mr. Bryan Tuesday night gave out a
statement that recalled Colonel Roose
velt at his best. The majority of the
national committee, said Mr. Bryan, is
under the control of the "predatory
interests." "Talk about harmony," he
aaid, '"is absurd." The Belmont-Ryan
Murphy crowd, which dictated Mr.
Taft's renomination, is as active here
ds at Chicago, and the same corrupt
ing influences are seeking control.

Baltimore.?William J. Bryan lost
his first fight for progressive control
of the Democratic national convention
Tuesday, when he was defeated for
temporary chairman of the convention
by Alton B. Parker. Mr. Bryan first
nominated Senator Kern, but the lat
ter declined the honor and named Mr.'
Bryan to make the. fight. Mr. Bryan
made an eloQuent plea for the "cause

he had represented for sixteen years,"
but it was unavailing. ^
The debate preceding the roll call
threw the convention Into wild disor
der.
The vote on a roll call was:
Parker 579; Bryan 506.
A last desperate effort to avert a
bitter factional fight was made by the
Bryan forces when the Democratic
convention took up the problem of
selecting a temporary chairman. .So
sharp did the lines divide that Mr.
Bryan himself became a candidate for
the temporary chairmanship.
After Bryan had made a speech
nominating Senator Kern of Indiana,
and attacking Alton B. Parker, Kern
took the stand. He made a plea ror
harmony, asked Parker to join him by
withdrawing from the contest and
substituting any one of a list of sev
eral men. After waiting in vain for
a reply from PaVker, Kern himself
withdrew and nominated Bryan.
Again Bryan took the platform. He
accepted the nomination and the line
up for the final struggle was com
plete.
Chairman Mack dropped his gavel
at 12:16 p. m., with the announce
ment:
"The convention will be in order.
The sergeant-at-arms will clear the
aisles."

The vote by which former Judge Al
ton B. Parker of New York was elect
ed temporary chairman over Mf. Bry
an?579 to 510 ,was interrupted Tues
day night in many ways. The Champ
Clark adherents are openly claiming
the nomination and there were many
in the convention Tuesday who were
inclined to agree that it wpuld either
be Speaker Clark or a "dark horse."
Real "Houn' Dawgs" in Clark Parade.
Baltimore, Md.?Forty real "hound'
dawgs" from Albemarle county, Vir
ginia, are to be in the parade which
the Clark supporters are planning to
precede the opening of the convention.
Other curiosities in the parade will be
"Borax Bill" with his famous team of
show white mules, the tallest, shortest
and fattest delegates from Oklahoma
and a group of aged members of the
Jackson democratic club, the oldest
democratic organization that is now
in existence.
Bryan's Speech Disappointing.
Convention Hall, Baltimore.?Bry
an's speech nominating Kern for tem
poraiy chairman was a disappoint
ment. It is believed that he didn't
change a vote. The speech was more
like a Chautauqua lecture than a mili
tant, aggressive assault on the men
who are leading for Parker. Instead
of giving concrete facts about the in
fluence of Ryan, Belmont, Calhoun and
others he confined himself to a discus
sion of his own record and the growth
of the progressive movement. He was
interrupted by cheers for Parker.
Negroes Want Plank In Plaform.
Baltimore.?A plank in the platform
designed to win over the negroes to
the democratic party is sought by the
National Colored Democratic League.
It reads as follows: '"We recognize
the equality of all men before the law
and hold that it is the duty of the
government in its dealings with all
*/\ ?viAf a Aiit onnol onrl nT
LUC? ptfVpiC IU 111CLC \J UU vvjuui uuu
act justice to all, of whatever nativity,
race, color, or persuasion, religious or
political." A committee headed by
Uishop Alexander Walters will pre
sent the plank.
Talk of Mr. Bryan has not ceased by
any means. Some of his friends plaim
that Tuesday's vote was no test; that
many of hia most ardent supporters
were compelled by circumstances to
vote against him as temporary chair
man. They claim, on the other hand,
that the vote of 510 given to Mr. Bry
an indicated that he held a "veto"
power in convention, which put him in
a position of dominance as to who
should be the nominee.
The conservative element, It may
be stated, is practically prepared to
accept a radical or progressive can
didate.
The turn of political affairs In the
past few days is regarded here as
having been decidedly favorable to
Speaker Clark's' candidacy. The
straight out Wilson delegates Tuesday
threw their support solidly to Mr.
Bryan in his fight against Judge Par
ker. This, the leaders figured, would
make the conservative element choose
Clark in preference to the New Jersey
Governor as the progressive candidate.
A rapid fire, routine session Tues
day night closed the first day of the
Democratic convention w.hlch began
with the defeat of William J. Bryan
lux teiupuraay uuturuitm m tut? <uier
noon. Scenes of disorder on the floor
which made further proceedings im
possible, forced the night's session and
compelled Alton B. Parker to suspend
his keynote speech.
The delegates on the floor gave ear
nest evidence oI their desire to do
everything in a hury and get away
from Baltimore. The leaders had
planned to adjourn session Tuesday
night until 2 o'clock Wednesday and
to iiave the committees which were
appointed Tuesday night to meet
Wadnesday. But the delegates would
not hear of this plan and disorderly
protests from the floor forced an ad
journment till noon and advanced-the
committee meetings so that they wew
prdered to meet immediately after the
session.
The delegates were very excited
about hurrying things along. A voice
from the floor during the session said:
"We have no Perkins to pay our
D1113."
The completion of Judge Parker's
speech and the naming of convention
committees was the sum of the work
of Tuesday night's session. William
Jennings Bryan did not appear at the
convention hall during the evening.
His failure to be on hand caused an
almost immediate adjournment of the
resolutions committee which met after
the session la response to the dele
gates' demand for speed. It was prac
tically certain that Bryan would be
elected chairman of the committee.
The other committees got together
immediately for organization.
But a scattering attendance appear
ed m the galleries at the hour set for
convening the convention. There
JOHN W. KERN.

were hundreds of vacant seats in the
delegates' sections. The delegates
who were in their seats, gathered in
little groups, and a hum of conversa
tion swept the hall.
It seemed certain from the public
action of the delegates and their pri
vate expressed views that the Demo
cratic convention will nominate a pro
gressive candidate and adopt a pro
gressive platform. Some of the lead
ers f/ankly said they resenteJ Mr.
Bryan's assumption to dictate the tem
porary chairmanship and pointed to
Tuesday's vote in justification of their
views. Mr. Bryan, despite the effort
to eliminate him, however, remalus a
stalwart factor in the convention and
may be given the authority to write
the platform.
Bryan Enters Hall Quietly.
Convention Hall?Bryan slipped in
to the convention hall by one of the
side entrances and was on the plat
form some minutes without being
recognized by the waiting throngs. He
shook hands with Cardinal Gibbons,
who was waiting to pronounce the
opening invocaiton. Chairman Mack
of the national committee, tooK nia
place at the presiding officer's deck a
few minutes after noon. Bryan con
tinued to screen himself from the
crowd and few knew he was present.
A Very Sharp Contrast.
Baltimore.?There was one sharp
contrast in the convention arrange
ments here and those at Chicago. At
the Republican convention the hall
swarmed with blue-coated policement,
here to find a "cop" was like search
ing for the needle in the haystack.
Bananas to New Jersey.
Baltimore.?Delegate Piatt, of New
Jersey, forced his way through the
crowd, carrying a big bunch of ba
nanas. He distributed the fruit among
ilie jersey ueiegaica.
Underwood Supporters Hold Meeting.
Baltimore.?The supporters of Os
