CHAIRMAN SOUNDS REAL KEYNOTE
OF PROGRESSIVE
DEMOCRACY. '
WHAT CONVENTION IS DOING
0
Delegates Came Prepared For a Long
and Excited Session.?Was Expected
to Be Day of Climax.?Boomers
Ready to Start Demonstration.
Convention Hall, Baltimore.?Delegates
to the democratic national convention
filed Into the convention hall
Thursday prepared for a long and excited
session. It was expected to be
the climax day, the end of the long
campaign waged by the presidential
aspirants. But as they came into the
hall these delegates apparently were
as much at sea as ever as to who j
would be the nominee. Boomers of
the Aarious candidates were ready to
start demonstrations and counter demonstrations
and it seemed certain
that the delays would be such as to
throw the actua) balloting late into
the evening.
All sorts of rumors were afloat as
to deals and combinations during the
forenoon, but not one of these seemed
to have a trustworthy foundation.
The supporters of Wood row Wilson,
heartened by the so-called WilsonBryan
victory in their fight for abrogation
of the unit rule that would
have bound all the members of a state
delegation to the views of a majority,
were claiming that the New Jersey
governor would sweep the convention
and secure the nomination. They expressed
the hope that Mr. Bryan
might be induced to come out squarely
for Wilson and felt that if this
could be brought about ultimate victory
was certain.
The order of business as the convention
met was further consideration
of the report of the committee on
credentials. The majority report was
presented Thursday night, the minority
findings being delayed until Friday.
Then the report of the committee on
permanent organization tfas scheduled
to be taken up with the convention
ready to ratify by acclamation the
choice of Senator-Elect Ollie M.
James, of Kentucky, as permanent
chairman. These things disposed of,
the delegates looked forward to the
long series of nominating and seconding
speeches and finally to the balloting
on the presidential candidates.
Senator-Elect Ollie James of
Kentucky, who is permanent chairman
cf the national convention, in
his keynote speech Thursday, Bpoke
in part as follows:
"The Republican party, flushed with
many victories, imperious as a tyrant,
unheeding the demands of the people,
took the reins of the government in
1908 under the solemn promise that
they would revise the tariff in the interest
of the consumer. Instead of
keeping this promise as they should
have done because it was their bond
of honor, they betrayed it. They raised
the tariff higher than ever before
until it reached its maximum of protection,
being 47 per cent.
' The story of this base betrayal Is
known to all men. The Democratic
party appealed on their record in the
sixty-first Congress on the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill to the American people
rnd we received from them a verdict
of guilty against the Republican
party and the bestowal of power upon
ourselves. How faithfully we have
kept our promises to them is but a
resume of our official action."
Mr. James reviewed at great length
the tariff revision legislation passed
by the Democratic House and referred
to the hills vetoed by President
Taft. Referring to the veto of the
wool bill, he said:
"And today the wool trust stands
not behind a majority of the law-1
wiiann M*n Win Another Victory. I
Baltimore.?The Bryan-Wilson progressives
won another victory in the
democratic convention Thursday when
the delegates overturned the report
of the credentials committee and seated
ten Wilson delegates from South
Dakota. The Wilson supporters
claimed that the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson was a certainty. The
vote stood Wilson 639 1-2; Clark 437;
not voting 5 1-2; absent two. New
York's votes which went to the ClarkHarmon
combination were cast in a
block for Wilson deelgates.
Renewed Talk of Bryan.
Baltimore.?There was renewed talk
of Mr. Bryan himself as the nominee.
I some of the so-called conservatives
1 being quoted as saying that so long
as the naming of a progressive seemed
inevitable it might be just as well
; to have Mr. Bryan lead the fight.
' Some of Mr. Bryan's friends indicated
that the Nebraskan apparently was
content wit hthe position he now occupies.
the right to name the candidate
being all but conceded to him.
Supporters of Champ Clark are as
confident as ever.
A Tumultuous Demonstration.
Baltimore. ? A lively controversy
arose as Theodore Bell of California
championed the Clark delegates in
the Fouth Dakota case, delegates chal:
lending his statements from the floor.
?-hiia chmitc for Wilson generally
brought on a tumultuous demonstration.
Great waves of cheering swept
the hall as the demonstration increas
ed to a storm. Banners were borne
through the aisles, delegates standing
on chairs and madly waving hats and
flags. New Jersey. Pennsylvania and
i Texas swung Wilson banners.

veto' of the President and the elefen
more than one-third of the representatives
of the American people picking
the pockets of the shivering poor
and ragged people of America. The
Republican party became so arrogant
and confident that this character of
robbery would continue to meet the
favor of the American people that
they boldly wrote into their platform
of 1908 a declaration that the
tariff should not only equal the difference
in the cost of production at
home and abroad, but should be high
enough in addition to this to give a
profit to the manufacturer here.
"President Taft has the lone and
singular distinction of being the only
President in the life of this republic
who ever vetoed bills cheapening
clothing to the people, lumber to the
homeless and meat and bread to hungry
Americans and free fanning implements
to the tolling farmer."
Mr. James referred at some length
to the tariff board and said:
"When does a demand for a report
of a tariff board come to our ears?
IPs when the tariff has already been
fixed bo high that they know they can
get it no higher and if the 'people's
representative!!' were auoweu 10 ?pea&
they would reduce It. Then we are
told the tariff board must report. This
great right of taxation must be taken
out of the handB of the people and
lodged in the hands of a board of five
men and their report must be awaited
by the suffering people of the
United States."
Other legislation passed by the
Democratic House, he pointed out, was
the income tax, publicity of campaign
funis and direct election of Senators.
He declared for vigorous anti-truBt
laws and said in part:
"We are not opposed to big business.
We recognize that in a big
co.untry there must be big business,
but we say with all the emphasis of
our souls that big business must obey
the law.
"We would strike from these trusts
every character of protection. We
would write a tariff law strictly for
revenue only and place the tax first
upon the luxuries and if that did not
produce sufficient revenue then upon
the comforts of life, and lastly we
wou.d lay the burden of taxation upon
the necessities of life. The Infant Industries
must be weaned. Infants

which have coalesced their

Baltimore.?Mrs. William H. Taft,
wife of the President, was a visitor at
the convention Thursday. Sho was
entertained by Mrs. Hugh Wallace,
wife of a delegate from the state of
Missouri.
Thomas Ryan's Cat Detailed.
Baltimore.?W. J. Bryan remarked
before leaving to attend the deliberations
of the resolutions committee
that "the convention clipped off the
tail of Thomas P. Ryan's cat." The
Nebraska leader previously had depicited
Mr. Ryan, the New York flnan
cicr, as cracking a cat-'-nine tails over
the convention. "Then the course of
progressivlsm is moving along more
smoothly?" "Well, the proceedings,"
replied Mr. Bryan, "would indicate
that they had not made any inroads
on us."

fell upon her husband's hand! The
second, however, was more successful,

Platform Pleases Full Committee.
Baltimore.?The platform to be
adopted by the Democratic convention
was under consideration during the
entire day Thursday, first by Mr. Bryan
and Senator O'Gorman of the resolutions
committee, later by the subcommittee
of eleven of which Senator
Kern of Indiana is chairman, and in
the end by the full committee.
Immediately after their task was
assigned to them. Messrs. Bryan and
O'Gorman shut themselves up in the
committee room, doffed their coats
and collars and continued until about
6 o'clock, when they announced that
their work had been completed. The
sub-committee was called in at that
hour and immediately began a careful
reading of the document. Members
of the sub-committee found lit
tie ground for criticism, all of tlieii
corrections being merely verbal. They
were sufficiently satisfied with the situation
to announce a meeting of the
full committee at 10 o'clock to have
that organization pass Judgment upon
the document.

Baltimore.?Oscar W. Underwood ol
Alabama, and Champ Clark of Missouri,
had been put in nomination before
the Democratic national convention
at 12:30 a. m., Friday, and at that
hour other nominating speeches were
in order. There was no idea of reaching
a vote during Thursday night
however, an agreement having been
reached to postpone the balloTTni
until noon Friday, or possibly later.
Effect of Decision on Unit Rule.
Baltimore.?The effect of the democratic
convention's action in amending
the rule which would have bound
delegations to adhere to the unit rule,
was the subject of wide discussion
Though different views were expressed,
the actual effect was explained bj

What Difference Did It Make?
Walking behind some colored girls,
homeward bound from a school, in a
Missouri town once upon a time, a
visitor overheard the following unblushing
and giggling, rich-voiced and
sparkling-eyed assertion of individuality
from one of them: "Yes, she !

'bout Caesar now 'n I did befo' han'.
An' ef she kep' me twel Gabriel

"I see. On land, Jorkins is the fel1

Man's Usefulness.
Mrs. Edward R. Hewitt, president of
the Woman's Municipal league, was
discussing in New York the movement
for cleaner streets.
"Now that women have gone in for
cleaner streets," she said, "we'll prob:
ably get them. Don't mistrust worn:
an's influence. It is everywhere at
work."
Then, with a smile. Mrs. Hewitt uttered
this epigram on her sex's behalf:
"Few are the men who would have
reached the top of the ladder if their
wives hadn't Bteadied It for them."
Snappy Age.
The young man breezed into the old
man's library.
"I met your daughter," he announced.
"at a Fifth avenue reception,
i want to marry her next Friday afternoon
at 3:30. She's willing."
The old man turned to his card index.
"Which daughter?" he asked.
"It's Miss Ethel."
"All right," said the old man.
"Make it 4:30 and I'll attend the wed|

It was so ordered. This is a snappy

DUBIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.
A Mich, woman tried Postum because
coffee disagreed with her and
her husband. Tea is just as harmful
as coffee because It contains caffeine?the
same drug found in coffee.
She writes:
"My husband was Bick for threo
! years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at atl
and in bed part of the time.
"I had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so I could not attend to
my housework?both of us using coffee
all the time and not realizing it
was harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Posium. I
took it home rather dubious what my

weeks after I began Postum. My chll- !
dren love it, and it does them good,
which can't be said of coffee.
"A lady visited us who was usually

GHOSTS EVER BOTHER YOU?
If So, Southern Negro Folks Say These
Simple Precautions Will Chase
'Em.
As a part of the folklore of the negro
folks the superstitions of slavery
dayB are of great Interest. The following
are some of the negro's beliefs
about ghosts:
To feel a hot breath of air strike
you at twilight signified the nearby j
presence of a ghost. Should you wish '
to avoid him, stop and turn your coat'
and trousers and hat wrong side out
and the spirit cannot encounter you.
If, however, he Is a pugnacious
sprite and approaches despite the
change, turn and address him thus:
"In the name of the Lord, what do you
want?" Whereupon he will tell you
his business upon earth, then depart
and never, never trouble you again.
If, on the other hand, It Is a prowling
ghost who crawls under the house,
bumps against the floor, makes
strange sounds, and whispers In the
midnight hours, you have only to put
In a new floor and he will do so no
more.
Some ghosts are obtrusive and will
not only prowl about tho house, but
creep in through the crack of the door 1
In the wee small hours of the night,1
and, once Inside, expand to vast proportions.

ITCHING ECZEMA
"Eight years ago I got eczema all
over my hands. My fingers fairly bled
and it itched until it almost drove me
frantic. The eruption began with
Itching under the skin. It spread faat
from between the Angers around the
nails and all over the whole hands. I
got a pair of rubber gloves in order to
wash diBhes. Then it spread all over
the left side of my chest. A Ane doctor
treated the trouble two weeks, but
did me no good. I cried night and
day. Then I decided to try Cutlcura
Soap and Ointment but without much
hope as I had gone so long. There
was a marked change the second day,
and so on until I was entirely cured.
The Cutlcura Soap we have always
kept In our home, and we decided
after that lesson that it is a cheap
6oap in price and the very .best in J

"Mug" It Overworked Word.
The most overworked word In the
Englishman's vocabulary of slang Is
"Mug." As a noun It may mean a
face, a fool, or a student who prefert
reading to sport. As a verb Its meanings
are still more varied. It may
mean to study hard, or to strike In the
fare. It nlso means to rob or swindle,
and among actors to grimace or make
faces. To mug up Is also. In theatrical
parlance, to make up.
Finally, to mug one's self Is to get
drunk, the resulting condition being
one of mugglness. There Is more obvious
sense In this last use of the
word than In some of the others, for
alehouses. In the eighteenth century,
were commonly known as mughouses.
Mug Is the English equivalent of the
German Zug, which Mark Twain found
to mean everything. A new sense of
the verb "mug" In the American slang
Is to photograph a face.

The leading plank of the platform

says:
The Tariff Reform.
"We declare it to be a fundamental

taxation which makes the rich richer
and the poor poorer; under its operations
the American farmer and laboring
man are the chief sufferers; it
raises the cost of the necessities of
life to them, but does not protect their
product or wages."
The action of President Taft in vetoing
the bills to reduce the tariff in
the cotton, woolen, metals and chemicals
schedules and the farmers free

laws.

monopoly is indefensible and intolerable

trust officials, and demand enactment
of such additional legislation as may
be necessary to make it impossible for
a private monopoly to exist in the
United States."
"The action of the Republican ad
ministration in compromising wun
the Standard Oil "company and the tobacco
trunt and Its failure to Invoke
the criminal provisions of the antitrust
law against the officers of those
corporations after the court had declared
that from the undisputed facts
In the record they had violated the
criminal provisions of the law" is denounced.
"We regret that the Sherman antitrust
law has received a judicial construction
depriving It of much of its
efficiency and we favor the enactment
of legislation which will restore to
the statute the strength of which it
has been deprived by such interpretation."
The platform urges people to support
proposed constitutional amendments,
providing for an Income tax
and election of United Stntes senators
by direct vote of the people. As
