BRYAH KEEPS HOLD
THE SUNDAY ORECrONIAN. PORTLAND. JTOfE - 30. -1912.
With the fiscal year of the corporation
department ending July 1. there are
scores of corporations throughout the
state that are dissolving to avoid the
expense of paying annual license fees.
Probably over 150 corporations have
been dissolved during the past few
months and dissolutions are now being
recorded at the rate of six to ten a
day. Numerous decreases In the
amount of capital stock are also re
corded, a decrease cutting down the
cost of the license fee accordingly. One
company, the Portland Water Power
& Electric Transmission Company, de
creased its capital stock today from
(1,000,000 to $1000.

These and other similar exclamations
-came from an audience of 1590 voters in
front of The Oregonlan building last
night when the announcement was
made that the Baltimore convention
had adjourned until tomorrow morning.
Disappointed, because they were pre
pared to wait far into Sunday for con
vention bulletins, the crowd reluctantly
dispersed to seek some other form of
entertainment.
Bryaa Has Majority.
Manifestly the crowd was In sym
pathy with Bryan, although Wilson
was not without friends and Roosevelt
had an occasional booster. If Harmon
or Underwood had any partisans in
the good-natured throng, which ' at
times obstructed traffic in Alder street.
they kept it to themselves.
Invariably every conversation either
began or ended with some mention of
Bryan. The part the Nebraskan was
taking in the proceedings or the con
vention and the possibility of his ul
timate nomination to break the dead
lock were uppermost topics. Some
criticism was made of Bryan for his
attack on Clark yesterday. By them
it was pronounced a tactical political
blunder which may prove disastrous
to any attempt that may be made sub
sequently to stampede the convention
for Bryan. Critics construed this ac
tion on the part of Bryan as a signal
for a stampede for him, but the scheme
. failed to work and the expected dem
onstration did not follow.
Clark Denanclatloa Defended.
Admirers of the Nebraskan, how
ever, defended his tirade against Clark
as only a development of Bryan's pro
gramme for consistency to the extent
that he plays a lending role in the
convention. They point to the fact
that it was entirely proper, from the
fact that at the outset of the conven
tion Bryan, in protesting against the
choice of Parker for temporary chair
man, declared unequivocally against
permitting the convention in any way
to be even temporarily Influenced or
dominated by reactionary Influences.
This course, say Bryan's friends, was
pursued a step farther, when he se
cured the introduction of a resolution
withholding the support of the conven
tion from the candidacy of any as
pirant for the Presidency who was In
any way allied with the "interests"
as they were represented in the con
vention by the reactionary element.
Vote Shift Applauded.
' By these same supporters, the next
step of Bryan in switching his vote
from Clark to Wilson, when the New
Tork delegation left Underwood and
threw Its votes to Clark, was ap
plauded. Bryan having gone this far, his oral
indictment of Clark was not unex
pected by his Oregon supporters. They
maintain that Clark laid himself open
to that criticism, first, by undertaking
to straddle the Issue in the election
of a temporary chairman and, secondly,
when the Speaker received the vote of
the New York) delegation. Bryan's
friends argue that his position has
been uniformly consistent, for the
progressive leader that he is, in Demo
cratic ranks. They aver that his
broadside at Clark, while it might have
been a mistake viewed solely from po
litical considerations and the Interest
of his own candidacy, meets with pop
ular approval.
Political Game Admitted.
Critics and admirers of Bryan are In
clined to agree that he is playing a
keen game of politics, designed to
bring about one of two conditions his
own nomination at the hands of the
convention, or the nomination of a man
of his own choosing. This estimate of
Bryan's tactics is based on the fact that
he first followed the Instructions of
his own state and voted for Clark until
the New York delegation threw its sup
port to the Missourlan. He then quit
the Clark forces and voted for Wil
son. It Is now expected that Bryan will
give Wilson a free rein and let him de
velop his full strength. If Wilson proves
unable to land the nomination and the
convention fails to agree on some other
progressive, then Bryan will - be In a
position, say his friends here, to accept
the nomination on the conditions be
has imposed by the adoption of his
"anti-interests" resolution and the au
thorship of the party's platform, or to
ay who shall be the nominee.
Commaaer'a Strcasth Shows. '
That Bryan is exerting a tremendous
Influence In the convention, declare his
Oregon admirers, is apparent from the
fact that from the time he bolted from
Clark to Wilson, the vote of the Speak
er gradually dwindled from 5S8 to 467.
while that of Wilson Increased until it
had reached 407, when adjournment
until tomorrow was taken by the convention.
The extreme Interest here in the out
come of the Democratic convention has
been accompanied by some betting."
' Several wagers on Bryan or Wilson
against the field have been eagerly
taken.
