Judson Harmon, Conservative Candid te For Democratic Nomination for President cd the progreaslvelsm which the No brunkan aaserled should prevail. An effort was made by the National Committee todny to placate Mr. Bryan but a conference resulted In complete failure. Mr. Bryan would not recede from tho position ho hnd taken and tonight prepared to make his fight to morrow from the floor of the conven tion to rally the progressives to his standard In opposition to Judge l'nrk er. Mr. Bryan announced today that If no other good progressive could be prevailed upon to mako the race, he would enter the field himself, aa the opponent of l'arkor. In furthernnre of their hope of nom inating Mr. Bryan some of bis friends It Is said, are bending their efforts to prevent a coalition of the Clark and ' Wilson forces. They are talking of Bryan and Wilson aa a possible tlckot and tho suggestion Is receiving atten tion In many quarters. In the event that Mr. Bryan should not be a candidate himself for tem porary chairman, It waa said he might urge Benator Kern, of Indiana, for the place. The leaders expect Mr. Bryan to enter the race. The conteat over the chairmanship Is looked forward to with trepidation by some of the leaders and by the supporters of several Presidential can didates. One of the most Interesting developmenta looked for Is the stsnd to lie taken by Clark delegates. A large number of these have beon plodged to support tbe choice of tbe National committee whoever he may be. Thla action was regarded In the state delegations as dlstlncty an anti Bryan move. There has been a long friendship between Mr. Bryan and Speaker Clark. Tbe delegates to the convention are wondering it tomor row's battle will show a rupture. It Is a coincidence that Mr. Bryan Is arraying hlmsalf agnlnst the only man who has shared with him tbe Presidential nomination of his party since the memorial campaign of 1896 16 years ago. Judge Parker's com paratively wide margin of success In the National committee, 31 to 20, was taken by many of the leaders aa an Indication of defeat for Mr. Bryan. The latter's friend declined to put any am ti Interpretation upon the ac tion of tho committee, Mr. Ilryau auld: "I had expected It. When Mr, Our fey was seated against the protest of (lie Democrats of Pennsylvania, I learned what 1 hiul expected; that a uiajtirlty of that committee either bad no conception of Democracy, or waa o slavishly under tho control of the predutory Interests aa not to bo free to follow tbelr convkiluna. The reaa one given are definite of wrong. "They are Insincere and are not the renaona that realty Influence them. The right will be reaumed tomorrow, at which time a progressive win bo presenter! for the convention to voto for and the lino will be drawn fo that the delegate! can decide whether they will ally tbemaelvra with tho llelmonl Ityan Murphy crowd thut overwhelmed die parly with defeat eight years aKO and which la In clone and continuous copartnership with the crowd thut nominated Mr. Taft at ChlcuKo. "Tho predatory Interests have no pollilca. They are with the party that serves them. Having enubled a min ority of the Republlcana to override the will of the majority of Hcpubll cana at Chicago, they are now bore to enable a minority of the Democrats to override the majority In this con ventlon." "There Is not a great exploiting In' terest that Is not represented lu the lobbies of tbe hotel; there is not a cor ruptlng Influence In American politics that Is not being used, and the dele gates to this convention, underesti mate the Intelligence of the men who sent th lid here If they think then can go back and deceive them Into believ ing that they supported Mr. Parker from any worthy motive. "The talk of harmony Is too absurd to deserve consideration. I tried to secure harmony by urging several weeks ago that the committee invite Mr. Clark and Mr. Wilson, whose In structed delegates constitute nearly two-thirds of the convention to agree upon a candidate for the purpose of avoiding friction. They not ouly fail ed to do thla, but they refused to take the choice of either candidate, and at Mr. Murphy's die tatlon forced Mr. Par ker's nomination. "I shall discuss Mr. Parker's fitness for the position tomorrw. It Is enough to say that If he does not know whose agent he is, he lacks the does ntoudesetevrh intelligence necessary for a preald ing officer, and if he 'does know, he doea not deserve the support of any man who has the right to call himself a Democrat. "I expect to present the name of some progressive and to support his claim before the convention. If I fall to find a man to lead the fight my name will be presented as a candidate for temporary chairman. "I have no way of knowing how the convention stands, but the Democrats of the Nation have done .enough for me to Justify me In suffering defeat If necessary In their defense. One Re publican party la enough In this coun try, for whatever we may call our selves. If we cannot distinguish our selves from them In our actions, peo ple will not pay much attention to our words." William Jennings Bryan's threat this morning that if the progressive could not agree on any other candi date for temporary chairman of the position to Alton B. Parker, he (Cry (Continued on page 8.)

Calling; up the officers in charge of the moral squad to clean up Portland and directing; them to proceed against A. J. Burns, pro prietor of the Milwaukie Tavern, was the reply of Governor West to the declaration by Burns in a Portland paper to the effect that he did not intend to remodel his tavern, and for the Governor to send on his "tin soldiers." The Milwaukie Tavern is one of the places visited by the Govern or while in Portland, and which he directed must comply with the law. Burns today declared he did not intend to tear down fen ces and abolish rooms, and de tied the Governor to send on his "tiit soldiers." Governor West, upon reading the report, went di rect to the telephone and called up his officers and directed them to get their men in readiness and proceed against the tavern, unless the proprietor complied with his orders and tbe law. "If Mr. Burns will sit around his place about Monday, he will learn for himself what the "tin soldiers" will do to it, if he fails to comply with the law," was the Governor's only comment with relation to the subject after hanging up the telephone receiver. 344 T.

With 314 of tbe Roosevelt delegates declining to rote, and hast ening away at adjournment time to tender to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt the nomination of a new party, the fifteenth Republican National Conven tion at the end of a long and tumult uous session tonight renominated William H. Taft of Ohio, for Presi dent, and James Schoolcraft Sherman of New York, for Vice-President President Taft received 561 of the 1078 votes in the convention, or 21 more than a majority. The result of the ballot was: Taft 561, Roosevelt 107; La Follette 41; Cummins 17; Hughes 2; absent 6; present but not voting 344. The result of the ballot for Vice President was: Sherman 597; Borah 21; Merriam 20; Hadley 14; Bever ldge 2; Gillett 1; absent 71; present, but not voting 352. Roosevelt was nominated for Pres ident on an independent ticket. The nomination was made during the dy ing hours of the Republican Nation al convention in which Mr. Roosevelt met defeat. The nominating resolutions in part follow: "We were delegated by a majority of Republican voters of our respect ive districts and states to nominate Theodore Roosevelt in the Republican National convention as the candidate of our party for President and thereby carry out the will of the voters as ex pressed at the primaries. We have earnestly and conscientiously striven to execute the commission entrusted to ub by the party voters. "For five days wo have been denied justice in tbe National convention. This result has been accomplished by the action of the now defunct Na tional committee in placing upon the preliminary roll of the convention and thereby seating upon the floor of the convention a sufficient number of fradulently elected delegates to con trol tbe proceedings of tbe conven tion. These fradulent delegates, once seated, have by concerted action with one another, put themselves upon the permanent roll, where they constitute an Influence sufficient to control the convention and defeat the will of the party as expressed at the primaries. "We have exhausted every known means to hold off this conspiracy and to prevent this fraud upon the popu lar will, but without success. "We were sent to this convention (Continued on page i)
