man Bell with the infocmation that he
:ould rot find his report and suggested
that some speakers fill in the time that
must elapse before the missing report
was found.
The convention officials, after a short
lonference, held after Mr. Callahan had
ushed away on another hot chase, de
tided that no work should be undertaken
9y the convention tonight except to con
ildor the report of the credentials com
mittee. Debate on the majority and
minority reports, it was agreed, should be
limited to 30 minutes on each side. The
report of the committee on permanent
organization and the speech of Chairman
Slay ton went over until tomorrow.
At 8:15 P. M. there still were many
smpty seats In the delegates' sections, but
ihe galleries held practically their full
wipaclty. Crowds of ticket-holders con
tinued to storm the various doors and a
record-breaking attendance was in sight.
tVomen seemed to predominate in the
Ihrongs. Most of them were gaily
rowned, as for the theater or opera. The
land worked overtime to keep the crowds
imused, and fairly earned the applause
lhat was liberally bestowed.
G-uffey Xerved for Battle.
At 8:30 the report of the committee on
rredentials was brought to the hall, but
Ihe chairman had wandered off and could
lot be located and the delegates and spec
tators put in another period of inactivity
while pages and messengers were scour
rig the hall to bring the chairman to
lis desk and his duty. The floor scene
vas one of much confusion, the aisles be
ng congested with delegates either press
ng their way to their places or engaged
n earnest consultation. The aisles are
larrow at best and tonight they seemed
:mpa.ssable.
Colonel Guffey. about whom the
itorm of the night was expected to
renter, appeared on the floor shortly
tfter 8 o'clock and immediately was
surrounded by a number of his lieuten
ints and sympathizers, who were pre
pared to take up the battle in his be
nalf. Colonel Guffey seemed pale but
determined. With clenched fist and fur
rowed brow he talked with great em
ihasis of expression to those about hlm4
jne of whom was Peter O'Boyle, his
rhfef aide in the Pennsylvania delega
tion. Mr. O'Boyle was scheduled to
speak in defense of the Colonel in case
Df attack from any quarter.
Labors to Get Order.
When Mr. Bell had been brought
tack, after bringing down his gavel in
L rupld tHttoo. he gave vent once more
:o his stereotyped cry: "The conven
:ion will be in order. Gentlemen will
take their seats."
The convention, however, did not af
Mice come to order, nor did the gentle
men "take their seats," for the reason
lliat a number of letter-carriers were
aistributlng mall anions the delegates
ind they were for the time being more
Interested In letters from home than in
reports on convention matters.
The convention apparently was in
luftlcient order to proceed to business
leveral times, but Mr. Bell did not take
Idvantage of any one of the psycho
logical moments, but continued to
sound with his gavel, the "rap, rap,
rap." of the wooden mallet on a marble
lab being punctuated from time to
dme with the conventional call of "Gen
Jenien will take their seats."
The galleries finally helped the chair
nan out. and their storm of hisses
luieted the turbulence on the floor. It
vas 8:57 when the business of the eve
ling was taken up.
Don't Mailt to Hear Hobson.
Mr. Ormoiul. of Florida, was recog
lizeil t move that Captain Rioh
noml Pearson Hobson. of Alabama, be
nvtled to address the convention,
tllngled with cheers for "Hobson. Hob
ton." were many cries of "No, No." The
:hairmau put the motion to a viva voce
rote and there were storms of "Aye"
ind "No," some of the delegates sup
llomentlng their negative votes by de
namis of "Give us the convention re
lorts. We want to do business."
"Please permit the chair to announce
the result." said the chairman as soon
is he could be heard above the confu
lion. "I have a very sensitive ear and
decide that the vote Is a tie. It is,
Iheret'ore. the privilege of the chair to
:ast the deciding vote. 1 cast it in the
if urinative, and Congressman "Hobson is
nvited to address the convention."
' Hobson Braves a Storm.
Cheers and a few hisses followed Mr.
Subson to the stand, and he received
l warm welcome as he stood beside the
ihnirman. His first words showed that
le realized that a speech at that par
ticular moment was not entirely wel
;onie to all of the delegates, for he de
ilared that he would not venture to
nake an address, did not feel it his
luty to do so. but to deliver himself
if the truth as he believed he saw it.
He then began at some length to
rad up to a discussion of the Japanese
ncldonts of several months ago at
fanoouvt'r and San Francisco.
After Mr. Hobson had been speaking
lor 13 minutes the crowd began to
;rrow restless and cries of "Time!"
iame from the floor and galleries. Mr.
ell called for order, saying the speak
'r would conclude in a few minutes.
In concluding his address. Mr. Hobson
leclared that, if the Democratic party
jras successful in the election, he be-
ved that it would, before the end of
bur years, "have a great foreign war
in its n;irms.
Instantly there came from the conven
don a chorus of mingled groans, catcalls,
tisses and cries of "Xo! Xo!"
Mr. Hobson was compelled to cease his
rpeech entirely, but stood calm and tense,
leterminod to finish his address as soon
is he was given an opportunity to do so.
"My countrymen, my message is nearly
Ihrough." said Mr. Hobson. when he had
ittention. A cry of "amen" sent a gale
laughter over the hall.
"I want to say to you." went on Mr.
Sobson. gritting his teeth in determina
tion, "that not so very long ago the Pres
cient of the 1'nited States said in my
res-nce that there is the greatest prob
ability of a war with Japan."
"No. Xo. Come off." shouted the crowd
ind there was an outburst of cries which
lontinued for several minutes.
Gentlemen," said the chairman, "this
speaker will be allowed, to finish and, if
he is tatrrupted again by the galleries, the
sergeant-at-arms will be directed to clear
them."
This announcement was greeted with
cheers, which sprang from the Coast del
egations. "If this great war comes." said Mr.
Hobson. with intense earnestness, "the
party upon which the responsibility
falls will be ground to powder. I be
lieve that at this Juncture we should
place the responsibility where it be
longs upon the party now in power
and which has refused to provide ade
quate coast defenses."
He was for a time heard in silence,
but a roar of laughter went up when a
voice far in the rear shouted:
"Hurrah for the Merrlmac!"
Mr. Hobson finally closed with a plea,
that, when the Democrats succeed to
power in the Nation, they so prepare
to ward off war as to provide peace
and good will toward men throughout
all the world.
"The chair wishes to add a word or
two," said the chairman, as soon as the
tumult that followed Mr. Hobson's re
treat had given him a chance to be
heard, and then he said:
"The chair hails from the Pacific
Coast, and up to the present moment
he' has seen no occasion to enlist." A
roar of laughter greeted the remark,
which turned Into applause.
Scouts Danger of War.
"If we have our way on the Pacific
Coast, we will have a big enough Navy
to piotect our coast."
Colonel Haldeman, of Kentucky, was
recognized y the chair and standing at
his place in the center of the aisle, he

It was with these words that Wil

ing to a number of newspaper men,

onstration given him by delegates to
the National Convention.
asserted that the convention had busi
ness to transact and ought to proceed
to It without further flights of oratory.
Colonel Haldeman then proceeded to take
issue with Mr. Hobson, declaring that
the United States has 22 first-class bat
tleships and Japan but 16.
"And I want to say that we are not
afraid of Japan or anybody eLse on the
faoe of the globe," concluded Colonel
Haldeman amid applause.
The chairman announced that the com
mittee on credentials would not be ready
to report for several minutes.
Towne and Taylor Talk.
"This afternoon." said Mr. Bell, "I
sent a committee down into the New
York delegation to escort to the plat
form Senator Charles A. Towne" That
was as far as the chairman was allowed
to proceed, and Mr. Towne took the ros
trum amid much applause. Mr. Towne
kept strictly to the promise he made at
the opening of his speech; when he said
that he would occupy but little of the
time of the convention. His address was
brief and he left the platform with the
distinctly expressed good will of the
convention.
"Taylor, Taylor," cried many of the
delegates, remembering the invitation of
the afternoon to the Tennessee Senator.
Mr. Callahan, of Massachusetts, chair
man of the committee on credentials, was
in the aisle, clamoring for recognition,
when Senacor Taylor was escorted to the
stage by a number of his constituents.
Mr. Taylor retired after a brief speech,
and the chairman announced:
"Gentlemen of the convention, we are
now going to get down to hard work.
The committee on credentials is ready
to report. The chair recognizes Mr.
Christopher G. Callahan, chairman of
the committee."
Mr. Callahan then read the report,
which was as follows:
In the matter of the contests from the
states of Idaho. Illinois, New York. Ohio,
Pennsylvania and the IMstrict of Columbia
your committee begs to report that they have
carefully investigated each of said contests;
that hearings have been given to both the
contestants and contestees in each of said
contests, and your committee has endeavored
to ascertain as near as can be all the facts
bearing upon each contest and after a careful
Investigation of the merits of each contest,
recommends that In each of the following con
tests the delegations as named by the Na
tional committee be entitled to seats as the
regularly accredited delegates and alternates
to this convention, namely:
The State of Idaho.
The First. Second, Third. Fourth. Fifth,
Sixth. Seventh. Eighth, Ninth and Tenth dis
trict of Illinois.
The Second. Third. Fourth. Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh districts of the State of New
York.
The Nineteenth district of the State of
Ohio.
The Thirty-second district of the State of
Pennsj-tvania.
The District of Columbia.
In the matter of the contest from the First,
Second. Fourth. Fifth and Sixth districts of
the State of Pennsylvania, we recommend
that the contestants shall be seated and
recognized by this convention as the only ac
credited delegates and alternates from said
districts In the State of Pennsylvania, to-wit:
First district. Second district, Fourth district.
Fifth district. Sixth district.
In the matter of the contest from the Ninth
district of the state of Ohio, your committee
recommends that the following be seated in
this convention as the accredited delegates
from said district: E. A. Powers, Dr. Will
iam Walls.
Sullivan Marshals Antis.
While the chairman was reading the
report Roger Sullivan, chairman of the
Illinois delegation, which state was
generally understood to have deter
mined to fight side by side with Penn
sylvania In behalf of the minority re
port, was busily running about the
floor, conferring with a number of oth
er delegations and preparing for the
fight soon to come.
When Mr. Callahan read the de
cision of the committeo in favor of the
contestants against Colonel Guffey, in
Pennsylvania, there were a few hisses
and some applause. The interruption
was brief, however, and the reading of
the report was continued. In the mat
ter of two lists of committee appoint
ments from the State of Pennsylvania,
Mr. Callahan reported that the creden
tials committee recommended that in
view of the contest decision, the lisus
be referred back to the delegation for
further action. Mr. Callahan conclud
ed by moving the adoption of the re
port, i
"I second that motion." shouted a
delegate from Indiana. The chairman
stated the question and then recognized
I. L. Straus, of Maryland, who read the
minority report, which recommended
that the contestees in the Pennsylvania
cases be seated, and which was as fol
lows: Gray Says Nothing Further.
WILMINGTON. Del., July S. Judge

of his friends at Denver to have him
nominated for the Presidency, or of Mr.
Bryan's friends to have him nominated

DENVER, July 8. The Democratic con
vention crowd commenced early to move
toward the convention hall. All progress
toward the Auditorium was, however,
Impeded by a great parade of the Tam
many men from New York, who, headed
by a band and a number of gaudily at
tired Indians, wound their way around
the business section of the city. About
1000 men were in line, among them
Charles F. Murphy and other big men of
l ammany.
The Bryan men came tramping into
the auditorium with cheerful faces and
much laughter. The events of the night
and early morning in the committee on
credentials were much to their liking.
and they were more confident than ever
of the ultimate success of their candi
dates. The Georgia men, anxious still.
in the face of apparently overwhelming
odds, were late in arriving, as they had
held another caucus early today for the
purpose of establishing a rallying point
tor tne rtgnt against Mr. Bryan."
The seats of Pennsylvania were also
sparsely filled. Colonel Guffey and his
followers were locked up at the Adams
Hotel considering their best line of ac
tion in face of the adverse report which
the committee on credentials was pre
paring to bring against them.
Four times before the convention was
called to order, a gray-haired reading
clerk with stentorian voice demanded to
know from the platform if Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell or Mr. Duncan
were In the house, saying they were
wanted by the committee" on resolutions.
Loud Cheers for "Dixie."
Temporary Chairman Bell reached the
rostrum just before noon, while the
band was playing "The Red, White and
Blue," and there were combined cheers
for the patriotic selection and for the
first officer of the convention.
"Dixie" came next from the band,
and drew out the usual burst of cheers
from the Southern delegates.
Among the early arrivals was Rep
resentative Henry D. Clayton, of Ala
bama, soon to be named by the organi
zation committee as the permanent
chairman of the convention. His eyes
were covered by heavy blue glasses and
ne was somewhat less fashionably at
tired than was Mr. Bell.
Colonel Guffey walked down the cen
ter atsie to his place in the Pennsvl
vania delegation at 12:10, and got a
cheer from a number of the delegates
in nis vicinity. He also was surrounded
for some little time by a group of
irienas.
At 12:20 o'clock, when the conven
tion had not yet been called to order-
it was announced that the marching
ciuds would De permitted - to march
through the hall as soon as the open
ing prayer had been delivered.
Parade Through Hall.
It was 12:26 when Mr. Bell began vigor
ously to rap for order and to direct that
the congested aisles be cleared.
Mr. Bell, after pounding with his
gavel for 10 minutes, delivered an address,
demanding that order prevail in the con
vention. The chairman then introduced
tne Rev. Christian F. Reisner, of Denver,
the chaplain of the day, who delivered
the invocation.
"The Milwaukee and other marching
ciuds win pass tnrough the hall," an
nounced the chairman, and as the last
words left his lips the strains of "Dixie"
floated into the auditorium and a cheer
Broke rrom the crowd as the first Bryan
banner in line was swung through the
door. The convention band caught up the
dying strains of "Dixie" as the marching
band passed out of a door opposite the
one it just entered.
The parade was not a long one and the
convention soon returned to business.
As the last of the parade passed out,
Mr. Bell again ordered that the aisles be
cleared, and when this was done, the
chairman said:
"The chair recognizes Senator Thomas
F. Grady, of New York, chairman of the
committee on rules."
Mr. Grady, mounting the platform,
announced In a few words that he pre
sented the report, the adoption of which
he moved. It provided that the conven
tion shall be governed by the rules of
the Democratic convention of 1904. The
report was adopted unanimously by a
viva voce vote.
Tribute to J. K. Jones.
"Now, gentlemen." said Mr. Bell, "it
appears that the committees are not ready
to report at tnis lime, so the convention
will dispose of some minor business. The
chair recognizes Mr. W. H. Martin, of
Arkansas."
Mr. Martin presented on behalf of the
National committee, a resolution of re
gret and tribute to the late James K.
Jones, former chairman of the committee.
After the resolution had been read. Mr.
Martin spoke briefly of Senator Jones'
capabilities and eminent service to the
Democratic party.
By a rising vote the resolution unani
mously was adopted.
A storm of laughter went through the
convention hall when Mr. Bell said with
a smile:
"John S. Whalen, Secretary of the State
of New York, is wanted at the long
distance telephone by Governor Hughes
of New York."
When the laughter had subsided the
chairman said: ,
' "This is no laughing matter. This busi
ness concerns affairs of state, and it
Is an Indication that Democrats re al
ready beginning to get together."
"The Michigan delegation has lost
its Bible," announced Mr. Bell, amid an
other outburst of laughter, "and would
be very much gratified," he added, "if
it is returned."
Calls for "Bob" Taylor. .
Ollie James, of Kentucky, was recog
nized to move that a recess be taken
until 8 o'clock P. M.
There were cries of "no" from all
over the hall, the galleries joining in
the call of many of the delegates.
When the motion was put there were
loud and almost equal choruses, first
of "aye" and then of "no."
"The chair is in doubt," said Mr.
Bell, "but it is his opinion that the
delegates voted aye and the galleries
no. I will put the motion again."
This time the galleries voted unani
mously and the shout of "no" over
whelmed the ayes.
"Gentlemen," said the chairpian,
brandishing his gavel, "gentlemen,
come to order. The chair is convinced
that enough, delegate iava .voted no j
to retain the convention In Its eeats
for a few moments longer."
A cheer of approval came down from
the galleries, and its feeble echo rose
from the convention floor. Great con
fusion followed, hundreds of voices
calling for various speakers, the name
of Senator "Bob" Taylor, of Tennessee,
being shouted repeatedly. The con
vention then settled down to await the
next event, but there was none for
some minutes. The band attempted to
play, but was practically submerged
in the uproar. The chairman kept up
his automatic sentence, "Gentlemen,
come to order," and kept it up after
the convention had quieted down.
"The chair will now recognize Mr.
Helfner. of Washington," said Mr. BeM,
when a semblance of order had been re
stored. ,
"I move that we hear a few remarks
from Senator 'Bob' Taylor, of Tennes
see." ,
Mingled. cries of "Taylor!" and "No!
No!" came from the-floor.
The chair appointed Mr. Heifner as
a committee of one to escort Mr. Taylor
to the chair.
Want to Hear From Gore.
Then there came cries of "Gore.
Gore!" begun by the constituents of
the Oklahoma Senator, and caught up
all over the hall.
Mr. Bell pounded for order, and an
nounced that Mr. Taylor had left the hall.
"Gore, Gore!" called the delegates.
"In a moment," shouted the chair
man, who then announced ' that the
convention flrsj would hear from
Charles A. Towne and then from Sena
tor Gore. Mr. Towne was not to be
found, and the chance of hearing a
speech from one of the Vice-Presidential
candidates was lost.
"We will hear, from Senator Gore,"
finally announced Mr. Bell, amid great
cheering.
When the chairman announced that
Mr. Gore would address the convention,
the delegates from that state went into a
spasm of delight. They whooped and
yelled as the blind Senator from the new
est state In the Union was led to the
platform. His first utterances were hap
py and he caught the convention imme
diately. Loud cheers and applause greet
ed his declaration that Oklahoma Is the
most Democratic state in the Union.
' Gore Turns Tumult Loose.
The cheers were repeated later When
he said:
"The President of the United States
has said that his opinion of our Con
stitution Is unfit for publication. That
Is true of many of the opinions of the
President .of the United States."
"Fellow Democrats: The great Sec
retary of War came to Oklahoma anit
waged war against our constitution,"
continued Mr. Gore. "He asked us to
give up our right of liberty and self
government. But by a vote of thousands
upon thousands we rejected the advice of
Taft and accepted the advice of Bryan."
. The mention of the name brought the
convention to Its feet in the first real
Bryan demonstration. Delegates from
nearly every state jumped to their chairs
and yelled. Many members of the New
York delegation joined in the cheers, but
a majority remained in their seats. Min
nesota and Delaware were the conspicu
ous exceptions.
A Bryan banner which had been lurking
In the rear of the hall was rushed to tne
stage and waved above the heads of the
chairman and speaker. The point of the
flagstaff caught one of the suspended
eagles over the chairman's desk and
brought It crashing to the floor. It was
caught up, however, and held above Mr.
Gore's head.
The band joined In the demonstration
with lively music.
Eagle's Tail Brushes Jiose.
Sergeant-at-Arms Martin, after he had
thoroughly mussed the Senator's hair
with the eagle's tall, waved the great
stuffed bird so close to the Senator's nose
that he must have started back had he
been able to see what was going on two
inches from his face.
The applause was relaxing somewhat
when the band poured oil on the fire
by striking up "Dixie." and instantly
the flame was burning fiercely and
brighter than before. The young man
with the Bryan banner held his place
on the Speaker's stand by the side of
the Senator, waving the banner to and
fro, careful, however, to tear no more
eagles from their places.
Mr. Gore, who had caused the terrific
outburst, waited for the uproar to sub
side. Georgia's delegation, in the midst of
the cheering crowd, was conspicuous for
its absolute silence.
When the demonstration had proceeded
for some 15 minutes a delegate from Iowa
caught up the standard of that state and
led a march to the stage, where there
was a grouping of the states.
Wild Rush to Platform.
It was a wild rush to the platform. In
which there was great confusion. Dele
gates other than those carrying the heavy
standards joined in the surging crowd.
Invading the space set aside for working
newspapermen and seriously interfering
with their labors.
The only state standards that finally
were left in their places were Georgia,
New York, Delaware, Minnesota, Con
necticut, Maryland and New Jersey.
When the enthusiasm was at Its
height, the group of state standards
around and upon the platform included
Rhode Island, Porto Rico, Alaska, South
Dakota, West Virginia, Iowa, Oregon,
Kansas, Virginia, Montana, Texas,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Oklahoma, Ar
kansas, South Carolina, Washington,
New Hampshire, North Dakota, Louisi
ana, North Carolina, Florida, Wisconsin
and California.
After 10 minutes of yelling the perspir
ing, scrambling delegates, with their
state standards, left the platform and
started on a parade around the hall.
California's Bryan banner, heavy with
gold tassels and fringe, was carried to
the stage while the cheering continued
unabated and cries of "whoop" came
from the delegates in the front rows.
Many of the standard-bearers formed a
circle about the New York delegation
and cheered their lustiest.
A wildly enthusiastic delegate from
Oklahoma clambered upon the press
tables to secure, a vantage point from
which to display his state standard. He
was dragged down by the newspapermen
without ceremony, but persisted and was
allowed to carry his point. The States
of Idaho and Massachusetts soon joined
him, while the band played "Hail, Hall,
the Gang's All There."
Loses His False Teeth.
Theband struck up "My Old Kentucky
Home," while the delegates and specta
tors Joined in the chorus. The proces
sion then started to leave the stand, but
a halt was caused by a delegate, who
yelled so wildly that his false teeth flew
out. They rolled under the press seats
and down he went on hands and knees
to recover his eating machinery, while
the parade behind him halted until he
had recovered the teeth', clapped them
into place and was ready to yell again
for his political faith.
The standard-bearers finally invaded
the galleries, Maine and Alabama lead
ing the climb to the second tier. The
galleries already had taken their full
ehare In the demonstration.
The band in the gallery worked with
out cessation and whenever it struck up
anything with a chorus that the crowd
was able to follow the crowd yelled the
words of the air with wild enthusiasm.
Delegates danced up and down the aisles
to the measures of a "Hot Time" and
shouted the chorus of "Marching Through
Georgia"
Georgia Resists Assault.
While the , latter air was ringing
throughout the hall, a determined assault
was made by the frenzied Bryan shouters
upon the Georgia standard, which up to
hi time had. been kept firmly, rooted to

its place. The delegates showed in quiet
fashion that it was as dangerous to
"March Through Georgia" as ever it had
been in the days of the war. They ral
lied around the little yellow flagpole bear
ing the name of' their state in white
against a background of blue, and stuck
staunch to their guardianship. It was
the only Southern state standard that re
mained unrooted and where it was
.planted It stayed.
The Colorado standard was carried
again to the stage after the demonstra
tion had been in progress for three
quarters of an hour. This time it was
in the hands of Mrs. Mary C. C. Brad
ford, of Denver, one of the state's dele
gates, and her appearance called out
renewed cheers. She was soon joined
by another woman, also in white, who
struggled desperately to hold up the
heavy banner of California beside the
speaker's desk. Her strength, how
ever, was not equal to the test, and she
was compelled to surrender it to
stronger hands.
The Cowboy Band at last left its
place In the gallery and joined the
parade through the aisles, playing
"Marching Through Georgia."
Storm Sinks and Rises Again.
After the uproar had continued for
50 minutes, Maine joined in the parade,
which was constantly swinging up and
down the aisles. Kentucky and Penn
sylvania, however, had returned to
their places, and the demonstration

seemed for the time to be dying down.
The band woke the echoes with "A
Hot Time" and the ocean of cheers
was again at floodtlde. Sergeants-at-arms,
carried away by the frenzy of
the occasion, left their posts and joined
in the yelling, exultant throng.
Men, however, cannot yell forever,
nor is their lung power inexhaustible,
and signs of a letdown were unmistak
able and more frequent. It was only
waning strength, however, that put
any check on the enthusiasm.
The crowd finally gathered in front
of the speakers' stand and, packed into
a compact mass, burst forth anew in

During all this time, while one of the

It is suitable for the better residences, clubs, hotels, hospitals, schools,

work entirely independent of the regular- sash, so that in order to close
the window it is not necessary to remove the screen. They require no
fitting whatever. By nailing the two strips which accompany every
screen to the window frame, setting your screen in place, the screen is
ready for use.

tumult, pounding with some vigor on
the desk with a big gavel. Cries of
'"Sit down!" and some hisses were heard,
but there was a distinct falling off in
the volume of sound and some progress
toward restoring order was made after
five minutes of continuous pounding.
At 2:47, one hour and 27 minutes
after Senator Gore had mentioned the
name of Bryan, a majority of the state
standards were In their proper places
and the demonstration practically
ended, although' scattered cheers were
still rising from some parts of the
hall. Hisses came with them' and this
had a strong effect in stopping the

his speech.
"My countrymen," he said, "to the
