MARPLOT
7 BALTIMORE, July 2. The dead
lock in the Democratic National con
vention over a Presidential nominee
seemed more complicated than ever
when adjournment was taken at 12:43.
A. M. until noon today. 1
Woodrow Wilson had made steady J
gains during Monday's balloting until
he reached a high-water mark of 501S
votes on the 39th ballot " He remain
ed stationary on the 40th ballot and
then began to lose ground. The last
ballot was the 42 d when Governor Wil
son polled 494 votes.
Speaker Champ Clark reached the
lowest ebb of his candidacy on thebal-
' ; '
lot where . Wilson reached a crest He
went down to 422 votes at that time
but immediately began to pick up and
had gone to 430 when adjournment
was taken.
The Speaker came over to Balti
more during the evening and was a
guest at the home of Mayor Preston,
near Convention Hall. He returned
to Washington shortly before mid
night. -
The convention went through an
other monotonous round of balloting
last night. Roll calls, in which Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson gained steadi
ly and Speaker Champ Clark as stead
ily lost, were taken without decisive
result.
The evening started auspiciously
or Wilson with the 35th ballot and on
he 39th he had passed the 600 mark
vith one and one-half votes to spare.
Clark in the same ballots lost 11
otes. On the 40th ;-all of the roll
Vilson's 5011 remained the same and
lark gained a single vote, 'leaving
.im 423. Meantime the vote for Os-
ar w. underwood fluctuated within
10 votes of the 100 mark.
The delegates sat in a sort of stup
or. The roll call clerks entered . the
vote mechanically, often without wait-
ing for the responses from the var
ious states. At the end of the 40th
ballot a tired Alabama delegate mov
ed to adjourn, but when a roll call on
the motion was demanded, by the
- Wilson forces, he withdrew it. :
Convention hall was almost stam
peded tonight by thousands of per
sons who were refused admission aft
er Chairman James ordered the po
lice to admit no one except delegates,
alternates and members of the press.
Just after the thirty-third ballot was
.completed the Missouri delegation
suddenly unfolded a flaring oil cloth
sign, on which was the following in
bright letters: . - . ..
"I have known" Champ Clark 18
. years. He is absolutely incorruptible.
His life is above reproach. Never in
all these years have I known him but
to be on one side of the question and
that was the side that represented the
people. -"
"(Signed.) WILLIAM J. BRYAN."
Bryan took the stand in reply to the
. Clark banner, while the police tried
to quell half a dozenl fist fights.
. After holding the banner where it
iwas a minute or two, Dave Francis
yelled ; "Take it to Nebraska." The
banner was carried over to where Bry
u was sitting in his seat. The Mis-
urians yelled at him: "Here is what
it said. Now, what are you going
lo about it?"
Sryan, livid with rage, jumped up
t3n'.shed to the stage, where he de-
'ut e.l of cho" acting chairman, John
: E, Lamb; of Indiana, whether he was
i 'ti be subjected to insult. - i
' . f ryan. demanded the right to an
"T vhat. he termed a gratuitous in-:-suit.
' Lamb refused to let Bryan talk
?-an he came down demanding that
r Sames be sent for.
i.Pblice . sot on either side of Bryan
a he stepped before -the Missouri del-
egation. The Nebraskan's face ' was
. bright red and as he called for David
. R. Francis or the chairman of the
Missouri delegation a dozen fists wer
shaken in his face, and members of
' me Missouri delegation leaned over
and tauntingly yelled: "Clark, Clark!"
directly in his face and ears. A tree'
for all fight started over a banner di
rectly in front of the press stand. -A
dozen Missourians, protected by the
, sergeant-art-arms, raised the banner
on the press section. They were
thrown bodily to the floor. A dozen
men were fighting on the floor while
the Baltimore police made childishly
feeble efforts to stop the near, riot
A Missiourlan tried to rush f-ifie
press seats and was knocked Jo" the
floor by one of the New Tori report
ers over whom he tr'fMwalk. ;'
, VV . ' -
and the offending banner was remov
ed.' Meanwhile, Bryan, was sitting on
1 the rail at the Speaker's platform,
waiting for his chance.
Chairman James, when order was
restored, tried to place the blame for
the disorder on the visitors despite
the fact that at least two thirds of
the Missouri delegation had not only
precipitated but' had participated in
the riot
'James ordered the result of the bal
lot and ordered the clerk to proceed
with the roll call.
Bryan demanded- the right to speak.
The Missouri delegation shouted: "No
no, no, he cannot talk!" James final
ly declared that Bryan had a right to
I a question of a personal privilege and
'that he could state his question.
"Mr. Chairman: I was seated -r-"
This was as far aa Bryan. got, when
Mayor Fitzgerald made the point of
i order that on Saturday night he (Fitz
i gerald) was refused permission to
.talk. ;
James said that if he had arisen to
a miauhnTi rr imrnnna nmm oco - no
woud have been heard
Fitzgerald insisted that he was not
permitted to speak to a question of
personal privilege and that as he was
denied the right to speak, he would
have to object to Bryan's recognition.
Bryan resumed:
"Mr. Chairman, I was seated with
my delegation when a banner was
placed in front of us. I asked that it
be removed, from that place. Being
refused I went to the Missouri delega
tion to find out if the banner had been
taken to the Nebraska delegation by
. .. .1. T T t- .
its authority. If that was the unauth
orized act of those who brought it i
have nothing further to say. If it was
the official act of the Missouri delega
tion' then I demand to answer the
question on the banner."
Chairman James said:
"The chair regrets to have to' rule he
has not stated a question of personal
privilege and he cannot talk on the
subject."
Bryan bowed to James' ruling smil
ed grimly and returned to his seat in
the Nebraska delegation. When he
got there he said: "If the Missouri
delegation is not responsible for this
banner then? I cacnctr ser anrtfcizg.
James started to restore order again
when a new fight started in the Con
necticut delegation which defied, the
efforts of the police to stop.
While they were doing this James
issued an order to the police to arrest
any. person who came into the hall
with a banner at any time in the fu
ture. Mayor Fitzegerald of Boston
then broke into the game, and while
announcing that he would not take ad
vantage of the offer of the chairman,
to arise to a question of personal
privilege at this time, he reserved the
right, when the time came, that the
convention cannot make a choice be
tween the three leading candidates, to
sfiggest that it nominate as a compro
mise candidate Eugene N. Foss of
Massachusetts-."
There was a general laugh over the
manner in whichr Fitzgerald had suc
ceeded in gettink- his speech before
the convention, Jt developed that the
tight in the Connecticut delegation re
sulted from Bryan F. Mahan', of New
London, shouting 'slurs at William J.
Bryan. State Seriatpr William Ken
nedy, of Naugutuek,, objected and Ma
han repeat the remark and the
pair clashed. There was little dam
age done, however.
. Wilson took the lead from his chief
opponent, Speaker Clark, on the thirt
ieth ballot for the presidential nomin
ation, taken by the Democratic nation
al convention this afternoon.
. Wilson had started the day with
4075 votes on the 27th ballot as
against 463i for the speaker. He
gained slowly but steadily, however,
and on the 30th ballot went past the
speaker,
Iowa split on this ballot, 14 dele
gates voting for Wilson, as against 12
for Clark and Congressman Henry D.
Clayton of Alabama ,the acting chair,
man ruled that the unit rule had been
broken and that the vote should be
recorded as cast
The vote on the 30th ballot showed
Wilson 460 against Clark's 455. The
announcement that they had at last
secured the highest vote.v caused the
Wilson supporters to start an uproar
ious demonstration and then the lead
ers redoubled their efforts to get Illi
nois into line for Wilson. They boast
ed that if they could get Roger Sulli
van his, men lined up, they could stam
pede the convention for- the New Jer
sey executive.
John B. Stanchfield, when his name
was reached in the New York delega
tion, asked unanimous consent to ex
plain his vote and his request was
granted.

Help
Your
Eyes
If your eyesight is defective,
you cannot enter into the full
enjoyment of life. Many things
must pass unheeded, and oth
ers .seen imperfectly, must be
but vaguely understood. But
the best of life is open even to
YOU through the aid of correct
Glasses. You can be made to
see easily, and clearly if - only
the defects are taken in hand
early enough. Expert atten
tion should be given to the eyes
periodically whether they are
thought defective or not Have
your sight tested NOW that
any defects may be at once cor
rected. This is the only safe
and wise course.
