BALTIMORE, June 28, (Specials
Convention Leaders agreed that no
ballots would be taken until 10 o'clock
today.
Bankhead concluded at 11:18 P. M.
and the Alabama delegates leaped
cheering to their seats. They were
joind by the Georgians and other Un
derwood delegates. Underwood ban
ners and
Underwood pictures were ,
held far aloft. The band played
"Dixie.'
BALTIMORE, June 27. William
Jennings Bryan tonight led the Demo
cratic convention into a declaration
of progressiveness unheard of in po
litical history.
A resolution introduced . by him,
which was adopted by a two-thirds
majority, declared the convention op
posed to the nomination of any can
didate under obligation to J. P. Mor
gan, Thomas F. Ryan .August Belmont
or any "privileged-seeking class."

Oscar W. Underwood, First Man Placed in Nomination for President at
the Convention Being Held in BaWmore.
The convention was thrown into a
furore by the proposition, which as
originally introduced called for the
withdrawal of Ryan and Belmont, del
egates from Virginia and New York,
respectfully.
This part of the resolution was re
lented as invading the rights of sov
ereign state, and when its fulL im
port became known boos and catcalls,
jeers and hisses were mingled with
handclapping.
Ex-Governor McCorkle, of .West Vir
ginia, called it foolish. -
Mr. Bryan made the situation even
- more dramatic by asking Virginia and
New York to request a modification
. of the resolution and finally took that
course himself.
From that moment sentiment chang
ed and the result of the vote indicated
that Mr. Bryan retained his hold up
. on Democracy.
"This is an extraordinary resolu-
said Mr. Bryan .rising to speak in sup
port of it, "but extraordinary remedies
We are now engaged in the conduct
of a convention that will place before
this country the Democratic nominee
and I assume that every delegate in
this convention is here because he

that I present this resolution. There
are questions of which a court takes
judicial notice and there are subjects
upon which we can assume that the
American people are informed, and
there 'is not a delegate in this conven
: tion who does not know that an effort
j is being made right now to sell the
Democratic party into bondage to the
(predatory interests of. this country. It
1 is the most brazen, the most insolent,
the most pudent attempt that has
i been made in the mstory of American
I puuucB io uummaie a convention,
stifle the honest sentiment of people,
and make the nominee the bond slave
of the men who exploit the people of
this country. (Applause and cheers.)
" I heed not tell you that J. Pier
pont Morgan and Thomas F. Ryan
and August Belmont are three of the
men who are connected with the great
money trust of the counry, who are
as despotic in their rule of the busi
ness of the country and as merciless
in their command of their states as
any man in the country. (Applause.)
The Democratic National conven
tion is in for an all-night session. At
3 A. M. Oscar A. Underwood, of Ala
bama; Champ Clark of Missouri;
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey ,and
Simeon Baldwin, of Connecticut had
been placed in nomination. The
leaders had agreed that all the nomi-
nating and seconding speeches should
be heard at least one ballot taken be
fore the convention adjourned.
Both the Underwood and Clark
nominations called . out prolonged
demonstrations among their enthusi
astic followers.
A fight by William Jennings Bryan
"to rid the Democratic party of the
Ryan-Belmont-MOrgan interests" de
layed the beginning of nominating
speeches at the night session from 8
o'clock until nearly 11.
Chairman James then announced
the calling of the roll in the states for
the nominations of candidates for
President and a motion was adopted,

speeches to 30 minutes and seconding

North Coast line, will complete con
struction of the Portland, Eugene &
Eastern between Eugene and Port
land, and it -will be the parent line of
the Southern Pacific company's elec
tric system in western Oregon. It
was admitted by Vice-President and
I General Manager C. E. Calvin of the
! Southern Pacific, that his company
had purchased the stock and bonds of
the company .which heretofore has
been held by A. Welch.
The plans are to immediately build
a double track line from Portland to
Oregon City, on the west side of the
river, thence across "the Willamette
at Willamette and in a straight line
to Salem, paralleling the present
steam road all that distance. One of
these tracks will be for electric roads
and the other for steam traffic. The
old steam line from Oregon City to
Portland will eventually be electrified.
The Molalla Valley line, now partly
under construction from a point on
the main line of the Southern Pacific
near Canby to Salem, by way of Mo

ant branch from wliich feeders will be
built into the surrounding rich farm

line, .but with provision for double
tracking as traffic justifies the im
provement. From Salem the electric line will
extend to Corvallis and Eugene with
connecting lines to Albany. From
Salem to Corvallis, Albany and Eu
gene the line will be built on the sur
veys of the Portland, Eugene & East
ern, and thence will be entirely inde
pendent of the present steam lines.

All steam trains on the west side of
the river will cross" to the east side
over the Oswego bridge excepting
such freight as may be destined for
the Jefferson street depot. The main
line steam trains will follow the west
side track from Willamette to Oswe
go, thence across the river again and
into Portland on the West side, the
intention being to eventually electni
fy the present steam road between
Portland and Oregon City. This will
eliminate many curves and bad grades
for the steam service and give Ore

GLADSTONE COUHCIL

The Gladstone City, council has de
cided to oil all the city streets and
country roads in that municipality.
The work will be started at once, and
the cost will be about $400. The
streets of Oregon City will be oiled
next week, the contract having been
let. With the main thoroughfares of
Gladstone oiled auomobilists of Port
land and Oregon City will be able to
find a route between . this city ond
Portland which will be satisfactory.
The automobile club of Clackamas
County also "plans to oil a road be

Scores of business men in Oregon
City and other parts of the county
have characterized the Chautauqua

as one of the best mediums for ad

place the Chautauqua in the same

medium.
"One thing that has made the Chau
tauqua so successful, and has given it
such a broad field of usefulness," said
Secretary Cross, of the Association
Thursday, "is that it is not in any
sense a money-making institution.
The directors have always been sat
isfied to come out even ,and with the
enormous expense attached to holding
the meeting and the small admission
fees there is no chance for money
making. The directors are satisfied
to know that they are aiding the
county intellectually and morally, and
the influence the meetings have on
the boys and girls cannot be estimat
ed. There Is usually an attendance of
more than 40,000 so the importance of
chautauqua may be easily understood.

the Publicity Department of the
Commercial Club is trying to obtain
a location for the Western States Cut
lery & Manufacturing Company, of
Boulder, Col., which is desirous of
moving its plant to this' city.- The
company will expend at least 50,000
and if the plant is located here at
least 50 families, members of which
work in the plant at Boulder, will lo
cate in Oregon City.
J. I. Clapsedel, representative of the
company, who is here trying" to find
a location, says that the management
desires to be near the coast for the
greater part of the output is disposed
of here.
"Oregon City would be an ideal lo
cation," said Mr. Clapsedel. "If we
can find the right tract of land, and
get power rates at a reasonable price
I see no reason why our plant should
not be located here. Boulder is not
quite far enough west for us; consid
ering that we sell a greater part of
our product on the coast."
Manager Freytag, of the Publicity
Department of the Commercial Club,
said that he was confident a site could
be obtained for the company and that
power rates would be satisfactory.

on another charge. ,
