1 PORTLAND, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 1912. PRICE FIVE CENTS. I'm ii v r a ' BRYAN'S AniTUDE IS THAT OF BOLTER Declaration Framed to Warn Party. WAY TO ATTACK LEFT OPEN Parker's Speech Declared Written in Wall Street Terms RYAN BITTERLY SCORED Kebraskan Speaks of Convention's Alliance With Plunderbund, and Prepare to Shape His Own Course In End. niT.TrwiR-rc June !. (Editorial Correspondence.) If Mr. Bryan means all he says, he can neither stand on the platform nor support the candidate of fc TUmruratln rnnventloit. Unless he Is somehow permitted to save a perilous situation. Bryan says over nis own signature in the Baltimore papers that the convention Is . controlled by a Na iiAii.i MmmiftAa and the National com mittee by a sub-committee of is. the .nVnmmitUA i v a. crou n of eight men. the eight men by Boss Murphy and Boss Murphy by Thomas Fortune Kyan. Mr. Bryan proceeds with a bitter at tack on Ryan. Belmont and Morgan. He speaks of the convention's alliance with the plunderbund and says if he wre cartoonist be would represent Ryan - as the dominant power of the convention, lashing the delegates witn a cat-o'-nlne tails, the separte talis be ing Murphy at the tag end, Sullivan and others. Lauuie Is Tkat of Bolter. in another statement Bryan sneers at Parker and his keynote speech, and declares it was written "in tne lan guage of Wall street." These are not the words of a stand-ihe-gaff. vote-for-the-wlnner Demo crat. They are the savage language of the rebel and the bolter. They were framed undoubtedly as a. warning, to the convention that It must' shake off the influences that dominate or the Democratic party will lose Bryan. The belligerent attitude of Bryan was fur ther shown when he refused to accept the chairmanship of the resolutions com mittee, undoubtedly because he wanted to be entirely free to attack the com mittee on the floor of the convention and before the country. He made the unprecedented demand that the plat form be not reported or adopted until after the Presidential candidate should be nominated. Committees Try to Plasate. The purpose is, of course, to fit the platform to the candidate and. not the candidate to the platform. The com mittee agreed In the hope of placating Bryan and the rules committee took the same action. If a reactionary candidate should be nominated it is to be assured that Bryan will at once lose interest in the platform. If the platform should first be adopted and It should be a progres sive platform, and presumably the con vention is willing to let Bryan write the platform. It would be difficult for Bryan to object to the candidate if the latter is willing to stand on U. It is clear that Bryan proposes to leave the way open to do precisely what he pleases. Whether his displeasure ex tends to Champ Clark as a candidate Is not yet obvious, but it will be within the next 24 hours. Iiltmt la Candidates Obscured. The Bryan declaration of indepen dence and the row over the platform have tor the present obscured interest In the candidates. The committee is anxious to make it progressive. Wall street does not care who. makes the platform so long as it can name the candidate, but there will probably be no reference to the initiative, referen dum or recall. These are mere state issues In the opinion of Mr. Bryan and others. What part the open hostility of the whole tier of Southern states to these reforms has in shaping Bryan's ideas It would be interesting to know. It ' looks as If the convention would nom inate its candidate for President to morrow and finish its work Friday. E. B. P. MAN MISSING SINCE FIRE Musician Who Tried to Enter Burn ing Building Unseen Since. Where Is F. A. McWIlliams. known as a musician, who rented the rear cor ner room In the burned Templeton lodging-house at First and Taylor streets and has been missing since the burning of the lodging-house laet Fri day night? Since the fire McWIlliams baa not returned to the place and search is being made for him. McWIUiama is thought to have been the man who came to police and fire men the night of the 'fire, after he had escaped from the flames, which rushed up the air shaft close to his room, and to have asked permission to go back Into the flaming building. The folly of his attempt was pointed out to him. is both halls by which he might go to his room were In flames. He left the firemen and police and was not seen afterward. Dr. H. H. Kuhn. a dentist, who was lessee of tbe building, with a friend yesterday went through the place to estimate the damage. They found nil McWIlliams' effects untouched in his room. WASHINGTON WILL BE ON BAND WAGON DELEGATES DECIDE TO VOTE FOR 3IA3T TO BE XA3IED. Position Near End of list Allows Last Minute 6witch Majority Favor Radical Candidate, t BALTIMORE, June 26. (Special.) Washington's 2 delegates to the Dem ocratic National convention are going to develpp into bandwagon delegates before the convention Is over. It has already developed that, while instruct ed for Clark the great majority of them favor the nomination of Bryan and a radical programme. At first they were inclined to dlsre gard Instructions and go to their fa vorite. But. on second thought, they decided to cast tbelr first votes for Clark, in order to comply with their instructions. If more than two or three ballots are taken, it is impossible to say where the Washington delegates will turn up, but from their talk today it is evident they will support which ever candidate, on final analysis, shows signs of being nominated. Washington is near the end of the list of states, and by time it is called It will be pretty well known what can didate Is to be nominated; that is, after the strength of the various candidates now in the field breaks and scatters. Under the unit rule adopted on Mon day this delegation will vote solidly for the candidate who, in the Judgment of the Bryan men, is going to be nom inated. ; , CHEHALIS PLANS BIG DAY Twin City Fourth Celebration Gives Promise of Lively Time.

CHANCES FAVORING CLARK Bryan Can Have Almost Anything He Wants. In Platform, (and Is "Understood to Have Leaning Toward Roosevelt. BT SAMUEL, Q. BLTTHE. Copyright 1912 by Samuel G. BIythe. BALTIMORE, June 26. (Special.) Politics worked overtime at its tra ditional trade of making strange bed fellows in Baltimore Wednesday, and by midnight had the most complete collection of oddly assorted conspira tors bunking with one another any convention has produced since the Bryan stampede in 1896: Lions and Iambs were occupying the same trundles, and hyenas and hares had identical room numbers. Preda ceous plutocrats were jolly old pals with horny-handed sons of toll, and slaves of Mammon linked arms and toddled off to bed with severely plain representatives of the plain people. Captains of Industry turned in with privates of the game, and the varying changes of the day made a kaleideo scope look like a painting of still life, one of those little things the common folk hang in their dining rooms, show ing the artist's idea of what a peach; a plum, a banana and a sirloin steak do not look like.

UNIT RULE BEATEN I FAVORING WILSON Delegates Now Free to Vote Choice. - FIGHT RAGES AROUND OHIO Convention's Action Costs Harmon 18 Delegates. CLARK'S STATE IS DIVIDED MisscTurlan Must Win on Early Bal lot, in Opinion of Loaders, it He Wins at All Boom for Bryan Abandoned. BALTIMORE, June 26. The progress sives in the Democratic National con ventlon claimed a noteworthy victory tonight when they carried a motion abrogating the rule by which some state delegations were bound to cast their vote as a unit. The fight for and against the unit rule was waged particularly about the State of Ohio, where 18 district dele gates had been Instructed by primar ies to vote for Woodrow Wilson, but where the state convention, controlled by the Harmon forces, had invoked the unit rule binding all Ohio dele gates to the Ohio Governor. Wllaoa Forces Encouraged. The convention by a vote of 565 1-3 to 489 voted that no state delegation should be bound by unit control ex cept in such cases where a state law was mandatory on the subject. Wilson supporters in the convention who earlier In the evening had carried on a demonstration lasting 33 minutes regarded the vote as distinctly favora ble. The Wilson boom had been grow ing throughout the day. Wilson gained and Harmon lost Is votes from the Ohio delegation as a result of the fight. It w.s said the abrogation of the rule might lead to breaks In other delegations and this left the Presidential race tonight in greater doubt than ever. New York for Unit Rule. New York's solid block of 90 votes was .cast, amid hisses and groans. In favor of continuing the unit rule. Mis souri, the home state of Champ Clark, split 29 to seven In favor of the unit rule, and this result was received with groans. When Nebraska and Kansas voted solidly for the abrogation of the unit rule there were cheers from the WIN son forces. Pennsylvania, a wuson state, gave a big majority for abroga tion. There had been signs in the day of a growing sentiment in the New York delegation in favor of Wilson. The delegation voted under the unit rule tonight in caBtlng its . ballot against the proposition fostered by the New Jersey Governor's supporters. The fight over the unit rule carried the evening session well along toward midnight. The report from the com mittee on credentials then was re ceived. As there was a minority re port, requiring discussion, an adjourn ment was decided on until noon tomor row. Candidate Situation Complex. With nominations due to be made tomorrow, the situation In the Demo cratic National convention' with respect to a Presidential candidate was as com plex and uncertain tonight as at any time since the delegates began to pour Into Baltimore. There was much talk of a subsidence of the Champ Clark wave, which reached its crest last night, but the Speaker's campaign managers were not willing to admit that there had been any wavering in their forces. At the same time they went to the convention hall with the expressed purpose of forcing the issue at the earliest pos sible opportunity. The opposition forces, hearing of this plan, prepared to block it. They did not wish the nominations to be made until tomor row, hoping the situation might clear a little by that time. The adherents of Woodrow Wilson asserted tonight that their candidate had made distinct gains during the day. and that some of the Clark sentiment was turned - toward the New Jersey Governor. Kern Lead Dark Horaea. "Dark horses" were being discussed everywhere tonight by the leaders and delegates, but there appeared some dif ficulty in crystallizing sentiment as to which one of the dark horses was the darkest. Senator Kern, of Indiana, Mr. Bryan's choice for chairman of the convention, and chairman of the committee draw ing the party platform, appeared to hold the lead among the dark horses. The coalition of the Bryan and Wilson forces in the first fight of the conven tion, however, led to talk of the Bryan strength ultimately going to Wilson. - The one outstanding fact In the sitw uatlon Beemed to be the absolute im possibility of any candidate's having a sufficient number of votes on the first ballot to nominate. The two thirds rule prevailing In Democratic conventions always make the picking of a candidate in advance a difficult problem. Friends of Mr. Bryan virtually (Concluded on Pts 9- f(5il 1 06.0
