Inquiry developed that, when the
British grain blockade began against
Greece, the village banker in d'Arta
laid in a large supply of grain and
flour and today d'Arta is one of the
very few village in Greece that has all
the flour it wants. The village folks
determined to follow the plan of the
great notions in Bimilar situations but
the small grain supply of Greece is
so unevenly distributed thut the
chances are that d'Arta may be forced

ties of civilization. In her wealth, her
history, her schools, her religion, her
needs, her very suffering and patrio
tism lie the indestructible seeds of
progress. To have conquered Mexi
co would havo seuted death at tho
American fireside. It would have de
stroyed our property and added hun
dreds of millions of taxation to -tho
burdens of the nation. It would have
prostituted tho bravery and patriotism
of American arms to the greed' and
avarice of concessionaires. The di
plomacy of 'watchful waiting' averted
these calamities.
"War with any European nation
would have set the world aflame and

planks are still under consideration.
. Both nominations were by acclama
tion and followed closely the nom
inating speech by John W. Wescott of
New jersey.
The roll call .of states was ordered
by Chairman Ollie James at the con
clusion of the address by Wm. J.
Bryan. When tho roll, call started,
Alabama yielded precedence to New
Jersey and Judge Westcott delivered
his nominating speech, a 45-minute
demonstration following his mention
of Wilson's name.
When the convention convened at
9:15 tonight Senator Thompson of
Kansas moved suspension of the rules
to permit Bryan to address the con
vention. The motion carried and
Bryan immediately was brought to
the platform,
'Bryan spoke 45 minutes. At 10:14
the nominations for president began.
When Senator Thompson's motion
suspending the rules so Bryan could
speak was put, there wore many Noes
but the chairman ruled tho two-thirds
vote favorable. A committee headed
by Senntor Kern escorted Bryan to
the stand, while the floor and gallery
roared approval. Senator James in
troduced Bryan as "one of the lead
ing citizens of tho world and Ameri
ca's greatest Democrat."
The convention's sudden decision to
day to finish the convention tonight
let down the bars and the Coliseum
was packed. Speculators, unprepared
for the sudden order to end the con
vention, believed their losses are
heavy.
Before the convention was called
to order the Coliseum was so full the
fire department refused to permit
more to enter. The crush outside be
came so great the police fairly bat
tled with the besieging throngs. Sev
eral arrests were made r.nd the spec
ulators quoted a "last chance" rate of
a dollar apiece.
While Bryan was speaking word
came that over 200 delegates outside
could not pet in. Norman Mack and
Charles F. Murphy, Tammany lead
ers, were among those having difficul
ty to enter.
Bryan eulogized the Democratic
party and praised Wilson's adminis
tration, reviewing the legislation of
the past three years. "While our
president and con Tress work;.! con
structive a snlendid pyramid of per
formance, t'le v?. threw upon this :
administration such burdens as r I
president has hnd to henr wlfhin the
Inst 50 years. Wo inherited from the
Republican administration a revolu
tion In Mexico. This administration
dealt with that situation. The Re
publican party dare not challenge tho
verdict before the country on the
Mexican question."
When Bryan concluded Chairman
James directed the police to admit all
delegates alternates and correspond
ents marooned outside. Then the roll
of states was called for nominations.
Judge Westcott of New Jersey nom
inated Wilson. As Westcott closed
with the mention of the name Wood
row Wilson, the crowd broke into a.
demonstration lasting 45 minutes.
