Country holders are still making
persistent efforts to sell their product
but buyers are wary and practically
none of the wholesale interests are
in the market at all. All are trying
to clean up their own surplus.
New potatoes are now coming for
ward so freely that the price is again

height and went to the Nebraska del
egation. The cheering became deafening.
Bryan started a poll of the Nebraska
delegation. Two gray-haired dele
gates from Nebraska grasped his
hands and cheered.
At 1:28, when the chairman tried to
restore order, the Wilson-Bryan dem
onstraion had lasted 50 minutes. Bry
an, after conferring with the Oregon
delegation, returned to his seat (by
the Nebraska standard.
With all traces of last night's
storm removed, save in the tired fac
es of the delegates, Convention Hall
was once again packed this afternoon
for the nominating session of Demo
cracy's hosts. The galleries were
filed to overflowing an hour before
the time set for the meeting. But
there were very" few delegates in their
places. The vast hall had been made
spick and span once again; the "stan
dards showing the delegates' seats
had been again fastened to the floor
and new seats substituted for those
broken in the excitement of the prev
ious session.
The only things reminiscent of the
frenzy of 12 hours ago were a monst

and profession. A 'phone

view our modern plant.

er circus portrait of Governor Mar
shall of Indiana and an oil cloth sign,
"We want Wilson," both of which
glared from the gallery rail.
It was noticeable that the feeling
among the policemen and delegates
alike was none too equable. Brief
excitements was created on the floor
when a Missouri delegate attempted
to seat a boy in the front row near
him. A policeman promptly ejected
the youth.
The New York delegates in a cau
cus just before the convention assem
bled agreed "for the present to vote
for Governor Harmon." This decis
ion will hold good, Judge Parker said
until it is seen that a nomination can
not be made, and 'the the delegation
will be ready to vote for any good
Democrat.." "
The Clark managers were making a
supreme effort to get the speaker
named' on one of the first three bal
lots when the hour for the convention
to assemble arrives.
Every one of the chieftans was pros
eltying. Former Governer Francis
and Senator Stone personally appeal
ed Murphy of Tammany and to the
leaders of the Harmon force.
"If we can't land Clark early there
wil be danger of someone you don't
want, pessibly Bryan himself: landing
it," was he appeal made.
Murphy was noncommittal, merely
saying if before New York was reach
ed in the balloting there seemed a
chance for a choice, the Empire state
might swing into line.
The Harmon managers positively
refused to withdraw their man.
, "We can muster 570 votes after the
favorite sons are withdrawn," said
Hugh L. Nichols, " and we think we
can get the balance when the show
down comes."
The Wilson men insisted that they
were uncovering progressive senti
ment momentarily. .
"The west is nearly ready to line
up for our governor," said Congress
man Hughes, "and we have every
reason to be satisfied with the out-look."-
Ten minutes before meeting time
members of the resolutions commit
tee who had been working steadily on
the platform since 10 o'cock, left the
committee room, their task complete.
Colonel Bryan declared, himself pleas
ed with the party's declarations, as
serting that the platform was splend
idly progressive.
Chairman James' gavel convening
the session fell at 4:11.
Rev. Henry Whartoon of Baltimore
offered prayer. The invocation over,
Chairman James immediately ordered
the calling of the roll for the second
ballot on the presidential nominee.
As the roll of the states proceeded
the galleries cheered loudly the an
nouncement in every instance. Chair
man James and the secretary demand
ed time and again that the result be
received in silence, so that there
could la no mistafee by the tellers.
but the crowd wanted to cheer and in
sisted.
When it was seen that there was
likely" of little change in the result a
number of Clark managers went to
Murphy and begged him to swing the
New York delegation into line for the
speaker.
"If you do, it will start a stampede
and it will be over soon and we all
can start for home," begged Senator
Stone but Murphy listened and made
no reply.
Wild cheering followed the announce
ment of Massachusetts when it was
announced that Wilson had gained
one and Clark lost one. In New Hamp
shire there was another desertion
from Clark, who received only seven
of the eight state votes, the other go
ing to Wilson.
New Jersey shifted the two votes
cast last night for Underwood to Con
gressman Sulzer of New York, amid
good natured banter from the galler
ies. In Ohio Clark and Wilson each gain
ed a vote. Harmon lost one, the oth
er being a delegate who last night re
fused to vote. Mr. Bryan received a
solitary vote here, as on the first ballot.
CONSERVATIVES BEATEN,
DECLARES COMMONER
BALTIMORE, June 28. William
Jennings Bryan Had no word to say
today about the first Presidential bal
lot at the Democratic National con
vention. After the adjournment of
the all-night session - the Nebraskan
hurried to his hotel, where he retir
ed for a needed rest He indicated
that the delegates already had spok
en their minds against Underwood
and Harmon, but was non-committal
as to whether his choice was Clark or
Wilson, although he added that he
had voted for Clark.
"w"" wcactco lit; una acmeveu a
great moral victory in obtaining the
passage of his Morgan-Ryan-Belmont
resolution, which was hurled into the
convention like a bombshell last night
Over the Breakfast table Bryan
camea ireeiy or the resolution. Ask
ed what the effect would be, he re
plied: "You wait for a week. Th orn n ov
er has been such an alignment of a
pouucai party against interest Just
see the vote that was cast fnr tv..
resolution."
'Is not the resolution nullified by
the elmination of the last clause de
manding the withdrawal of any dele
gates representing the Morgan-Ryan-Belmont
interest?'
( "No," replied Bryan with emphasis
"The last clause was merely putting
into effect the first clause. When be
fore in any convention have we had
such men named?
"What do you think of Virginia's
vote in favor of this resolution? There
were 23J votes for it and j vote
against it And Thomas F. Ryan was
sitting in the delegation.
"This resolution has made the dele
gates get in line. Those who nomin
ated a reactionary after passing this
resolution would never dare go home
if -they lived west of the Allegheny
Mountains. The convention has gone
on record. .,,,1
An inquiry whether he would" sup
port a reactionary candidate seemed
to nettle Bryan, and he gave no defi
nite answer.
"Mr. Bryan, it has been suggested
among delegates that conditions
might arise that would cause you to
bolt?"
"I don't reply to every report that
is started about me," answered the
Nebraskan. '1 don't think any man
has the right to . ask men that ques
tion. When this convention started
could you tell what was going to hap
pen? - A man's course of action must
be determined as circumstances
arise."
Bryan's friends say the passage of
the "bombshell" resolution has shown
the country that "this is -a 'progres
sive' convention, and that a 'progres
sive' must be named."
BUCKLES PET DOG RUN
OVER AND KILLED BY AUTO
"Colonel, the pet Spitz dog of A. B.
Buckles was killed beneah the wheels
of the auto delivery car in front of
the Huntley Brothers' Company drug
store Friday morning. The dog was
delighted to be allowed to follow the
automobile when Mr. Buckles made
his delivery runs. As Mr. Buckles
had started his auto to return home
he did not see the dog near the rear
wheel until he heard a faint cry from
the animal and stopping his machine
found the dog was dead. "Colonel"
was an unusually intelligent d6g, and
when the automobile was not in use
would watch it until placed in the
garage or taken in charge by Mr
Buckles. The dog would allow no one
near the machine only the owners.
Several months ago "Buster" another
Spitz dog of Mr. Buckles met its
death by poison. This was a brother
of "Colonel."
