Baltimore, Juno 28. William Jon-

Mr. Bryan's resolution was:
"Resolved, that In this crisis in our
party's career and in our country's
history, this convention Bends greet

and assures them that the- party of
Jackson and Jefferson still is the

BUZZ WAGON PROVES
TOO MUCH FOR TED
Ted Angell is a cowboy and he
doesn't give a darn who knows it.
He is range born and range bred and
he can ride anything that ever had
two ears and a tall, but after an ex
perience with Jim Estes' automobile
last night he has to admit that a "gol
derned buzz wagon" is too much for
his liuckaroo ability.
Angell, accompanied hy another
cowpuncher by the name of Reeves,
arrived yesterday from their home at
Izre in the John Day country. They
Drought 300 head of horses which
they Intend selling here, hut last night
vhlle on a sight seeing expedition,
they wandered down to Hound-up
Park to watch the Elk charioteers try
nut their teams. The Estes auto was
standing on the track empty and its
feat was inviting to the two bucka
rooes. After watching the proceed
ings for nwhile, Angell conceived the
idea that he could drive the "buzz
wagon" and he ordered Ills compan
ion to turn the crank.
The crank was turned and some
how or other Angell got the machine
started but he couldn't control the
action of the "rod devil." He twisted
the wheel first one way and then an
other, touched all of the buttons he
could and slammed all the levers but
the thing wouldn't stop. The result
was inevitable. He struck a pole at
full speed. The damage wns consid
erable but it didn't worry the cow
rucher. He was deatl game and of
fered to buy a new car for Estes but
the latter figured that $25 would
cover the cost of repairs and that sunt
was handed over.
Hereafter, Angell says, he will have
nothing' to do with man's inventions.
He knows pretty well what a buck
ing cult.m will do but he says there
is no telling which way a "buzz wa
gon" will twist nnd turn.
LA FOLLETTE MAKES BITTER ATTACK AGAINST
COL. ROOSEVELT FOR LATTER'S POLITICAL MOVE
Madison, Wis.. Juno 28. Iu a sign
ed editorial in his weekly newspaper
published today, Senator La Folletto
bitterly attacks Roosevelt. He says
Roosevelt conducted tho presidential
campaign on the most lavish scale in
the history of American politics. Men
notoriously identified with the steel
trust nnd the harvester trust became
Roosevelt's most active supporters,
says La Folletto.
He charges Roosevelt with cooper
ating with Aldrlch on legislation dur
ing tho entire seven years ho was in
office. La Folletto alleges that Roos

nnnounced progressives as "piratical
traitors."

In speaking on his resolution, M.
Bryan in part said:
"This is an etxraordlnary resolu
tion, but extraordinary conditions
need extraordinary remedies. We
are now engaged in the conduct of a
convention that will plac before thiH
country the democratic nominee and
I assume that every delegate in this
convention is here because he wants
that nominee elected.
"And it is In that we may advance
the cause of our candidate that I
present this resolution.

court can take judicial notice and
there are subjects upon which we can
assume that the American people are

know that an effort is being made
right now to sell the democratic par

CONSERVATIVES JOIN
WITH PROGRESSIVES
Baltimore, Md., June 28. It Is be

vatives aided Bryan to put through
his resolution, expressing opposition
to the nomination of any candidate
representing or trader obligations to
Thomas F. Ryan, J. Pierpont Morgan
and August Belmont, ir other .-Tiem-bers
of the "privilege hunting or fa

Baltimore, Md., June 28. The con
vention hall was jammed to the doors
last night when Bryan took the plat
form at 7:53 o'clock. He was given
a demonstration, and cheers were al
so given for Congressman Ollle James,
chairman of the convention.
Rev. J. Stevenson of Baltimore pro
nounced the invocation. This ended.
Bryan arose and demanded the in
stant withdrawal from the New York
and Virginia delegations of Ryan and
Belmbnt. A terrific uproar followed
Bryan's announcement.
When the uproar subsided, Bryan's
resolution was amended by omitting
the demand that Ryan and Bolmont
be ejected, and it was carried. New
York and other doubtful states lined'
up, supporting the emasculated res
olution which simply declared against
any candidate nominated by Wall
street. The vote: Ayes, 889; Noes,
196. The remainder did not vote.

Nominations were called for at

"Republican candidates have re

Baltimore, Md June 2S. After an
all night session the democratic na
tional convention failed to nominate
a presidential ticket and adjourned
at 7:25 o'clock this morning, until 4
this afternoon. Evidently the con
test Is far from a settlement, and the
race Is still open.
The result of the only ballot taken
was as follows: Clark, 440 1-2;
Wilson, 324; Underwood, 117 1-2;
Harmon, 148; Marshall. 31; Baldwin,
22; Bryan, 1; Sulzer, 2; not voting, 2.
Montana gave Clark 8; Oregon
pave Wilson 10; Washington gave
Clark 14; Idaho gave Clark 8.
'Many delegates were infuriated by
the action of adjournment and voted
strongly against it.
For hours the session was marked
with fervid oratory and unprecedent
ed demonstrations for favorite sons.
The general tumult at times blocked
the wheels of the convention. Im
mediately after adjournment, Clark
went Into n conference Haying he
would force his nomination on the
second or third ' ballot. It was said
there were assurances that New
York's 90 votes will go to Clark ns
soon ns it is certain they will be suf

Baltimore, Md., June 28. Another
all night session Is in store for the
delegates at the democratic national
convention. From all indications, the
session will last much longer than at
first anticipated and many of the pol

the most severe in the history of the
democratic party.
Colonel Bryan, so far as his being
a presidential possibility is concern
ed, Is apparently out of the running.
