COLISEUM, St. Louis, June 15. When
William J. Bryan addressed the Demo
cratic National Convention here to
night, under- suspension of the rules
necessitated by the fact that he was
not a delegate, he opened by expressing
his appreciation of the honor conferred
. by the invitation to speak to the con
vention. "Every Democratic convention
. is a lovefeast to me," he said. "It gives
me an opportunity to meet and renew
' acquaintances with men with whom I
have been associated in politics for
; more than 20 years."
t He paid his respects In com pi i-
- mentary manner to Democratic offi
cers and leaders of the present con-
, ' vention.
Reviewing the struggles of the Demo
cratic party, Mr. Bryan said:
"After 16 years of waiting, our party
! entered the White House and fortunate-
Jy we won the Senate and House at
the same time. Our party became
' responsibile for National affairs and
now we come after three years of labor
to make our plans for the future and
to submit to the American people the
claims of our party to continued con
fidence. "Whatever differences of opinion may
- exist, or may have existed, as to partic
; ular measures or particular acts, we
are here to begin the fight of 1916, a
united party in every state in the
Union, ready for battle.
Administration Is Defended.
"Today those who stand for the Dem
ocratic party are able to go before this
Nation and not only give a reason for
the faith that Is in them, but give a
defense of the Administration's claims
to the confidence of the people.
"You may take all the Administra
tions from the beginning of our history
as a Republic to the beginning of the
present one, and you will not find as
many laws written upon the statute
books of great importance to the peo
ple as you will find written in the last
three years by Woodrow Wilson, a
Democratic President."
Briefly Mr. "Bryan then referred to
the tariff revision, the Federal reserve
law and the strengthening of the anti
trust laws.
"Here were three great measures,
carrying out the promise of a Demo
cratic platform, and these three great
measures constitute a record of
achievement which the Republican
party dare not attack," he said.
"The electorate before which the Re
publican party must now go is not con
trolled as the convention at Chicago
. was by the expert representatives ot
the favor-seeking corporations."
Kederal Reserve Law Praised.
"No President since Jackson," said
Mr. Bryan, "has had to meet such an
unholy combination of the powers of
high finance and even Jackson him
self never met the situation better
than Woodrow Wilson met It. We have
just commenced to learn what the Fed
eral reserve law means for this Na
tion. "This great piece of legislation, the
greatest piece of constructive states
manship in a generation, has not only
broken the hold of Wall Street upon
the business of the nation, but It has
broken the grip of Wall Street upon
the politics of the United States. For
20 years there has not been an election
but what a hundred men in Wall Street
could, by coercion they had In their
power, change the result of the elec
tion. Another one who, like myself,
has felt their power, must be pardoned
if he rejoices that we have had an
Administration that has broken the
power and set a Nation free.
"While our President and our Con
gress were at work constructing a
splendid pyramid of performance, a
war came that threw upon this Admin
istration such burdens as no President
has had to bear within the last 50
years. . We inherited from a Repub
lican Administration a revolution in
Mexico. This Administration has dealt
with that situation and the Republican
party dare not challenge a verdict be
fore the country on the Mexican ques
tion." Annexation of. Mexico feared.
"We have a few men Interested In
ranches and a few interested In mines,
who would use the blood of Ameri
can soldiers to guarantee profits and
their investments in a foreign land.
"Why. my friends, if President Wil
son .yielded to the demand of those
who have clamored for intervention in
Mexico, we would no sooner have
crossed . the line than the same men
would tell him that the soldiers must
never come out, for, my friends, an
nexation is the next step after inter
vention has been undertaken. And
MAKING CHILDREN EAT
Nothing is ever gained by forcing a.
child to eat when it retuaea lood. Make
cure that nothing is being eaten between
meals to destroy the natural appetite
and if your growing child does nothave
a healthful craving for good, honest
food at mealtimes there is something
the matter. Threats of punishment if
the child does not eat will not correct
the difficulty.
A fitful appetite in a growing child,
especially it the patient is pale, languid,
nervous, irritable, and without ambi
tion, usually means that the blood is
thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such as
Dr. Williams' Fink Pills is demanded.
During her 'teens a girl lays the foun
dation for her future health. .Lack of
blood at this time may rob her of
robust, healthy womanhood. It is of
the greatest importance to administer
' to girls who grow pale and weak a safe
tonic and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
meet every requirement of the most
careful mother. They make the blood
rich and red and it carries renewed
health and strength to every part of the
body.

If we Invaded Mexico, these same men
would say, 'On to Panama.'
But, my friends, the President not
only has had to deal with war to the
south of us, but with war to the east
of us. My friends. I have differed
from our President on some of the
methods employed In that war, but I
am one of those who desire that this
Nation shall not become a participant
in the dreadful conflict.
"We have a record upon which we
can appeal to the people for their sup
port, without fear and without blush.
believe the American people, grate
ful for what this Administration has
done, grateful that we have peace in
this country while war stalks throuu-
out the world, will not be unmindful
of the fact that it was a Democratic
President, supported by a Democratic
Senate and House, who has thus savea
the country the horrors of that war.
"My friends, I believe that there is
now before this country an oppor
tunity such as no other country has
had since the beginning of time. I
believe that God. in his providence,
has reserved for the United States the
honor and the task of lifting the moral
code that governs Individuals up to
the level of nations and making it a
part of the code of all nations.
If I understand this Nations op
portunity and this Nation's task. It Is
to lead the world away from its false
philosophy and help it to build its hope
of peace on the enduring foundation
of love and brotherhood and co-opera
tion.
1. as a lover of my country, want
my country to win this greatest of all
prizes. As a Democrat, I want my
party to have the Jionor that shall
come with the accomplishment and ful
fillment of such a task, and I stand
with the Democrats of the Nation to
give to Woodrow Wilson an oppor
tunity to lead the party."

He then explained the manner in which
his house handled the $180,000,000 bond
issue of the Interborough Company,
which he characterized as the largest
transaction of its kind ever carried out
in this country.
Asked if his firm had ndt made a
profit of something like $4,000,000 on
the sale of the bonds, he said be
hoped so.
"But with an this pront. It never

for the sudden order to bring the
convention to a close, and it is be
lieved their losses are heavy.
When the gavel fell calling to
night's session to order, John W.
Westcott, of New Jersey, who nom
inated President Wilson at the Bal
timore convention, was ready on the
floor to deliver the speech of renomi-
nation; Senator Kern, of Indiana, to
renominate Vice-President Marshall
and John H. Atwood, of Missouri, to
deliver the speech nominating Gover
nor Major for the Vice-Presidency.
Fire Department Takes Charge.
Before the convention was called to
order the Coliseum was so full that the
fire department took charge of the
entrances and permitted no more to
come in. William J. Bryan, however,
managed to get by and grot his usual
uproarious reception as be took his
scat.
At 9:15 o'clock Chairman James
rapped the convention to order. The
Rev. W. J. Hardesty. chaplain of the
Missouri Senate, offered a prayer.
The crowd yielded to the rasping of
the gavel long enough to hear the
prayer and then renewed its demands
for a speech from Bryan. Chairman
James admonished the galleries.
Senator Thompson then moved a sus
pension of the rules to permit Mr.
Bryan to speak. While the motion was
put there were some "noes," but the
chairman ruled two-thirds had voted
in favor.
A committee headed by Senator Kern.
of Indiana, escorted Mr. Bryan to the
speakers place, while the floor and
galleries roared their approval.
Police Battle With Crowds.
Senator James introduced Mr. Bryan
as "one of the leading citizens of the
world, and America's greatest Democrat."
Outside the hall meanwhile had the
crush become so great that the police
fairly battled with besieging throngs.
Several arrests were made. Ticket
speculators were quoting "a last-last
chance" rate of $1 apiece.
Senator Hughes, of New Jersey, act
ed in the role of an officer of rone of
the entrances, aiding the police in try
lng to control the crowd.
While Mr. Bryan was speaking word
came in from time to time of leaders
marooned outside and of more than
200 delegates who could not enter.
Rescuing parties of officers went out
and got them inside. Norman E. Mack,
the National committeeman from New
York, and Charles F. Murphy, leader
of Tammany, were among those who
struggled for nearly an hour to gain
recognition before getting through the
lines.
BfuMntd Delegate Rcseud.
Cnalrman James directed the police
to go to the entrances and admit all
delegates, alternates and members of
the press marooned outs we.
Then the roll of the states was called
for nominations. Alabama yielded to
New Jersey, and Judge John W. Wes
cott began his speech nominating Pres
ident Wikson. - - -
Applause was given to Judge Wes
cott's remarks on the Administration's
policy toward Mexico. The crowd was
attentive and quiet. - It voiced approval
of America's maintenance of interna
tional law. Some of the crowd, how
ever, were eager for the nomination.
"Name him, name him," came cries
from the galleries.
Judge Wescott hastened a little and
concluded his speech renominating
the President at 10:49 P. M.
As Judge Wescott closed with a men
tion of the name "Woodrow Wilson,"
the crowd broke into a great demon.
stration. Moving picture flashlights
blazed, and flags were paraded in front
of the stand. The band played "The
Star-Spangled Banner," while a huge
banner bearing the Presidents like
ness was unfurled from the roof of the
hall. The delegates began a parade
bearing state stanchions.
W Oman delegates were among the
paraders in the aisles. Senators and
nepresentauves ueipeu carry Danners.
Senator Hughes personally bore the
New Jersey flag.
Crowd Joins in Singing Medley,
Sergeant-at-Arms Martin stirred up
the enthusiasm by waving the Texas
Lone Star" flag over the heads of the
crowd from the chairman s rostrum.
Other state flags were taken to the
platform, and the crowd joined In sing
ing a medley, including "How Dry I
Am." "Old Black Joe," "The Red, White
and Blue, and others.
After the demonstration had been
under way 30 minutes. New York and
some other delegates resumed their
seats. Waving a cane over the rail
at the chairman's desk. Senator Hughes
renewed the clamor by leading three
cheers for the President.
The band exhausted the list of popu
lar airs, then turned to "Tipperary"
and the crowd joined In the chorus.
Some of the delegates stopped dem
onstrating long enough to drain pop
bottles and then went back at it again.
There was no attempt to control the
crowd while the demonstration was
going on. The crowd roared and sev
eral women suffrage workers with
golden umbrellas and yellow sweaters
mounted the platform and held a suf
trace umbrella over the head of Rep
resentatlve Heflln, of Alabama, one
of the most vigorous antls in Con
gress. He apparently enjoyed the alt
uat en.
Toe band. Its repertoire taxed, turned
to such ancient ballads as "On the
Banks of the Wabash" and "Turkey in

At 11:30 all but a few delegations
had - taken their places. apparently
ready to go on. and at 11:80 Chairman
James sounded the first gavel rap. The
demonstration had lasted 45 minutes.
Delegates Clamor for Vote.
The rollcall of states was resumed
and Arizona yielded to Ohio. Governor
Harmon, of Ohio, made the first sec
ondlng speech In behalf of President
wiison.
. The second speech In seconding th
President's nomination was made by
Governor Stuart, of Virginia, to whom
tne Arkansas delegation yielded. Re
ferrlng to Virginia aa "the mother of
Presidents," Governor Stuart referred
to the President as "her illustrious
son. ,
The delegates wanted to wait no
longer and cried, "Vote! Vote!"
On motion of Senator Hughes, of
New Jersey, the rules were suspended
and no ballots whatever were taken.
The delegates simply roared, "Aye'
when the names of Wilson and Mar
shall were called successively, and
Chairman James declared them noml
nated by acclamation. Senator Kern,
nominating Vice-President Marshall,
had discarded a long prepared speech.
and simply said:
"I renominate! Thomas Riley Mar
snail."
The nominations of both candidates
were completed four minutes before
.midnight.
The convention waited for a time in
the hope of completing its work by
acting on the platform. Learning, how.
