which was a gain of H'z. and Cox
67 a gain of 7 Vi.
Mississippi's 20 votes were swung
from John Sharp Williams into the
I'ox column. In Missouri Palmer
gained four and McAdoo four.
New Jersey's 2S continued with
Kdwards. New York stood by Smith,
and North Carolina remained with
Simmons a on the first ballot, and
Cox retained the total vote from his
state, Ohio, as did Senator Owen of
Oklahoma.
There was no changre in the Penn
sylvania vote. Palmer lost one in
Rhode Island.
Palmer also lost three in Tennes
see, and McAdoo pained two.
Texas was cheered when. he again
turned over all of her 40 votes for
McAdoo. Utah also continued in the
McAdoo column, putting him in the
lead over Falmer.
Vircinia's 24 remained with Sena
tor Class and West Virginia's 16 with
J-avis. Palmer lost one in Wisconsin
and McAdoo gained five.
rainier got the best of the count
in Illinois, taking 3.ri of the 58. When
the 20 votes of Kansas were cast
solidly for McAdoo it became appar
ent that the race for the best show
ing on the first ballot would be be
tween McAdoo and Palmer unless
there wa an upset further down the
roll of the states. Many states were
distributing their strength as a com
pliment to various candidates, how
ever, and it seemed almost certain
that there would be no nomination
on that ballot.
There were some hisses when
Massachusetts cast one of her 06 for
William It. Hearst, and there was a
roar of applause a moment later
when 17 from that state went to
Palmer. Another flash of handclap
Ping followed announcement of the
first vote for W. J. Bryan. It came
from Michigan.
As the rollcall went on there were
few states outside of those having
favorite ons that did not scatter
their total among several candidates.
Texas was an exception, giving her
eolid delegation of 40 to McAdoo.
Klrxt Ballot.
bring tears to the public eye by re
citing the multiplication table? He
did a great job at Chicago.
Glass' voice is getting worse, and
the crowd inatto.itive. but patient. A
platform is a necessary evil, but Glass
isn't. Now he stops and mops his
forehead, and some irreverent gallery
god audibly demands "Let Bryan read
it." Never. They won't let Bryan
read anything r.ere unless he writes
it himself and butts in.
Labor PI at: It Awakens Crowd.
The crowd finally is awakened by
the labor plank and givc3 it a real
hand; read It. It vigorously upholds
both sides. Eut woman suffrage
catches the crowd. Four years ago
they dodged, but everybody's doing it
now. The republicans missed a chance
when they failed to print in their
platform a list of the states Ratifying
the amendment 29 republican and 6
democratic.
Convention breaks away in hubbub,
giving poor Glass a needed rest. Band
plays "Maryland, My Maryland," which
rejected suffrage. Now it is noon and
the worst is yet to come. "Women in
industry" gets the women started
again. "If we've omitted anything,"
remarks Glass, in a grinning aside,
"we didn't intend to." Sure. These
democrats are making a tremendous
drive for tho -women. Three cheers
for the soldiers, but no money bonus.
They at- least show courage for once.
Good plank, too, on free speech. No
cheep sympathy lor Debs there, nor
the hyphenated gang of misguided
women phich is placarding the con
vention. He's nearly through. They
say Bryan is outside washing up and
dressing down for whatever is to
come. Now he's down to Mexico. More
watchful -waiti.-isT. But "full protec
tion for American citizens," well, well.
Then Ireland, and the convention
r-iicks up its cars. An Irish voice
interrupts with an unintelligible ex
clamation. "I'm going to read it in
my own brogue," says Glass, "and It's
an American brogue." Great cheers.
A fine retort. Hurries through the
Alaska plank. Nobody understands
and everybody laughs. Now he's down
to the most popular plank of all, "conclusion."

The official announcements of ballots
today were in confusion and at variance
with adding machine totals. There was
no way of harmonizing them and the
convention officials said that they hoped
to Improve tho reporting ol the ballot
tomorrow, .
Prohibition and Ireland Omitted-
No prohibition, no recognition of the
Irish republic. Two long hours of it
and six or seven thousand words. It
still remains sure that the chief use
of words is to conceal thought. What
this convention thinks on prohibition
or on the Irish question it does not
dare to say.
Glass moves adoption of the report
"without modification or alteration"
Then the chair recognizes "a member"
of the committee to submit a minority
report. Here comes Bryan. Now
we're off. The gallery breaks into a
hurricane of cheers. He stands and
waits for the gale to subside. Finally
he shakes his head and raises his hand
and the storm is at once calmed.
Then he begins. What a voice! Every
syllable understood everywhere. What
a presence! Perfect command of him
self and his audience. What an ora
torical method!
He concedes the strength of the
thing he attacks, and then sails in.
Some of the crowd are soon stirred to
resentment, but Bryan heeds them
not. The galleries anyway are with
Bryan so far. Yet when he reads his
prohibition plank there is only a mild
response. He has four other proposi
tions, and he hurries through them.
They are a national bulletin, prof-
teering, anti-compulsory military
service and league of nations.
Bryan .retires and the chair recog
nizes a gentleman from. New York
to put in an ther minority report.
Now who's that? Develops that it is
Bourke Cockran, and it's of course the
Irish question. He indulges in some
delightful persiflage about the com
mittee's long deliberations and gets
the convention in a pleased humor. He
has a single, plank.
It was a mistake about the Irish.
It's prohibition. He wants light wines
and beer in the home. A shout of ap
proval ari3es. It is a wet or quasi
wet convention personally, and a wet
gallery personally and politically. But
it's not a wet convention politically.
Chair Upsets Water Pitcher.
The chair nakes a sorry faux pas
by tipping ovsr the water pitcher
augury of desire but not of intent.
Now comes Doheny Doheny. That
sounds Irish, and jt is. His first ap
pearance on any stage, he says. But
he's Irish, and he gets away with it.
The crowd heckles him somewhat; he
holds on and gets through. It takes
nerve, a great loyalty to a cause, to
persuade an inexperienced speaker to
follow great orators like Bryan and
Cockran.
Lyons of Oklahoma throws a mon
key-wrench in the convention ma
chinery by presenting a soldier's
bonus plank. He wants a commission
to investigate the whole subject. The
convention gets Into something of a
row over the plan to assign three
hours and one-half to discussion of
the several planks.
The rules of the house at Washing
ton are followed where the floor
leader may apportion the time. If any
delegate want3 to speak, he must get
Bryan's or Cockran's consent or the
consent of the other proponents of
minority planks. There is a roar of
otjections but the chairman jams the
rule through.
Now it's Bryan again. He goes at
the liquor traffic hammer and tongs
"Dead," he says, "dead but not buried.
The only decent thing left is to bury
it." The crowd listens. It has to listen
when Bryan talks. The gallery voice
is not now .lominant. But Bryan is
pleading to ears mostly unsympa
thetic or indifferent. But they like
Bryan.
Biblical Story Well Told.
With great dramatic effect Bryan
tells the Biblical story Herod and the
children. "Tlrey are dead." He
shouted, "They are dead who sought
the child's life. They are dead, who
seek to slay the children of the home
through alcohol."
Now he's going at a gre.at stride
and the convention is st-lled into
breathless Interest, but suddenly lie
leaves the subject and goes to his
hobby, the National Bulletin, wasting
his breath. Now Bryan the prophet
has given way to Bryan the politician
and demagogue. He is roasting the
profiteers and saying they are mostly
republicans. And he wants them sent
to the penitentiary, as republicans
not as democrats.
The convention listens to the Bryan
idea of a league in stony silence. He
drops it quickly, saying he is to ccme
back and talk for 20 minutes. A great
bunch of roses was passed up to
Bryan as he concluded his remark
able address. They looked good
enough to have come from Oregon.
Hobson Talks for Prohibition.
Richard Pearson Hobson, toald as an
eagle, makes a jerky talk for prohi
bition. And the women were once
crazy to kiss Hobson! They should
see him now. He faces a hostile gal
lery, but they don't scare him out.
A slight woman, with a rapid fire
delivery, follows. She is Mrs. Peter
Alsen of Minnesota. She wants to
know whether that coffin Bryan was
preparing for the corpse of King Al
cohol was not to bury the democratic
party. That is unkind, but they cheer.
She puts 'em right about Vol-stead'8
defeat. It was by a nonpartisan
leader, a preacher, and not by King
Alcohol.
"You democrats are not afraid of
ghosts," she said, "for since you have
been here, many of you have- been in
communication with the spirit of
John Barleycorn," she concludes in a
fervent outburst and gets a great
ovation.
It's Bourke Cochran's' turn now.
Highly interesting, picturesque and
extravagant, he says of the argument
of all the previous speakers. "Every
body agrees with everything any one
of them says about the abuses of al
cohol," he cries. He strikes a re
sponsive chord when he assails pho
hibition as the word posted all over
every penitentiary to restrain crimi
nals, and says that a people who must
be made goodby coercion are unfit
for self-government.
He reaches great heights in an elo
quent description of Democracy and
its uses, but descends pretty .'ar a
moment later when he says that he
has just taken two drinks, thus show
ing that the eighteenth amendment
is nonenf orceable. No amendment
can be enforced, he says, which
threatens the liberties of the people.
He drags forth the fifteenth
amendment for the horrified gaze of
the southern delegates. That subject
is usually taboo among southern
gentlemen. They prevent the negro
from voting but don't talk about it.

But Cockran talks about it. He
ascribes th prosperity of the south
to the power of public opinion which
nullifies the lath amendment, and
the south roars its approval. In the
north, says Cockran, they let the
negro vote but they won't let him
work, for the white man will not
work with him. In the south they
don t let the negro vote, but he works.
He concludes in an eloquent climax,
apostrophizing the south. The dele
gates arise and acclaim the eloquent
old man of Tammany.
A sturdy little man. Representative
Lonergan of Connecticut, takes up
the cause of Ireland. He's reading it.
A mistake. The convention is already
watching the - clock. Now he has
abandoned his manuscript and is
waving his arms and raising his
voice and the crowds are inclined to
listen. Self-determination is his
theme. Short and pretty good, but
the convention is weary.
Delegate Duffy also speaks for Ire
land. A high tenor voice penetrates
the disorder and he puts it over. Brief
and to the point.
Here's-O'Brien who nominated Ed
wards. Can he make a five minute
talk. He didn't the other day. He
looks like Jonathan Bounne. at least
from one side, and talks like a
stowed-up Dan Malarkey. He talks
four minutes, and mighty well for
the final two minutes.
Crowd Makes Mighty clamor.
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts is
next. A fine figure of a man. clear
voice, mobile face, attractive features,
splendid manner. The crowd likes
him and greets him with a mighty
clamor. He's a two-fisted talker,
gesturing equally well with right or
left hand, but pounding away all the
time at the main point self-determination
and Irish independence.
We've got to have 20 minutes on
the soldiers' bonus from that Okla
homa democrat. He discloses the
fact that 26 voted for the bonus in
the resolutions committee and 27
against. Makes a good talk but few
listen. National Committeeman Urchie
of New Hampshire also supports the
compensation plan.
Twenty minutes are left for Bryan
to close the. argument for the minor
ity. Briefly, he sums up on profiteer
ing, newspaper bulletin and military
training, then takes up the treaty.
"I'm not an enemy of Woodrow Wil
son," he cries passionately. "I gave
him the treaty idea he took to Paris
I would go to the scaffold and die
if need be and give Wilson all the
credit for bringing about universal
peace." Bryan answers Cochran by
saying that he, too, loves Cochran,
for they've been debating public
questions for 25 years, never agreeing
and loving each other more all the
time. Bryan stirs great excitement by
directly charging that Cochran wants
to bring back the saloon.
New York Delegates Protest.
Loud cries of protest arise from
New York. Bryan then demands that
any man in New York or New Jersey
who is against the saloon, rise and

say what he has done against it. The
wet delegators rise en masse, waving
arms, shaking fists, shouting defiance.
"1 voted for you. too, cried one sten
torian voice, "if you go back on me
now," Bryan retorts, "I'll get two in
your place, because I stand for the
home and you don't."
He winds up in a beautiful and im
pressive peroration and the crowd, in
sheer admiration of the man, breaks
into a frenzy of acclaim for Bryan. It
is a brilliant personal triumph for
him. The convention rises to its feet,
but the wet delegators sit in sullen
silence. Usual business of marching
yelling men and women, apparently
for the moving pictures. If there is
any power in mere oratory there will
be a dry plank. The uproar last 35
minutes and is ended only when the
chairman threatens to clear the gal
leries. Now the long-advertised hour has
come when Bambridge Colby will take
up the rhetorical sword in a duel with
Bryan, dapper, keen. intellectual,
mv-haired. square-jawed with a
Bostonese accent and a finished elocu
tion. This is the man who is to under
take a rough and ready catch-as-catch

sions to various things, which amuse
the crowd.

Cockran. What he said was that he
had indulged himself to excess in
two glasses of buttermilk just before
he made his speech. I heard him tell
about two drinks containing an un
lawful amount of alcohol, but I
missed the buttermilk. It was- all
the more inexcusable because I my
self am a buttermilk addict and I
should have known the real cause

Occupation or Baloukessar After
Stubborn l ight Reported.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 3 (By
the Associated Press.) Occupation by
the Greeks of Baloukessar, 60 miles
north of Somar, in Asia-Minor, after
stubborn resistance by the Turks on a
line extending eastward was reported
in a Greek communique issued under
date of July 1. The Turks were de
clared to have lost 1200 prisoners, 64
cannon and much ammunition and to
have suffered many casualties. The
Greek losses, communique added, were
relatively small. On the eastern front
a Turkish detachment surrendered to
Greek outposts.
The capture of Baloukessar by the
Greeks was taken here as indication
that they had overcome Turkish op

Entitled to Welcome.
PENDLETON", Or., July 2. (Spe
cial.) Round-up Chief Poker Jim and
his stalwarts are betting their wam
pum that McAdoo will be the big
chief of the palefaces. This confidence
is occasioned by a gift by the former
secretary of the treasury to the Una
tillas. Poker Jim high in the councils
of the tribe, has just received a big
brass tom-tom drum from the crown
prince of the Wilson dynasty.
When McAdoo was a guest at the
Round-up last fall, the Indians pre
sented him with a button or shell
which marks him as a friend of the
tribe and entitles him to a welcome
by them whenever he may be in their
midst. In appreciation of this token.
McAdoo recently sent from New York
a huge drum to be used in their cele
brations. Poker Jim recently wrote to Mc
Adoo to request that he use his in
fluence to the end that the Fourth of
July celebration of the tribe be al
lowed as usual. McAdoo wrote back
wishing them no interference in the
meeting and a successful observance.
