WOMEN IN BALTIMORE
llAl.TI.MOIU:. Mr.. June 'JC The
demociattc national convention was
slow for assembling for the second
day's buslnoss. Hecauso of tho fact
that the committees did not get down
to business until today It wos certain
that there would bo business ready
for the hour set tor assembling.
For this reason spectators and
delegates preferred remaining about
the hotels to sitting lu the big con
vention bail with a blazing sun beat
ing down on tho roof. Kvea the
band seemed to suffer from the leth
argy s It was eleven thirty before
It started its initial tune. At that
hour only. a score of delegates were
lu their scats and but a scattering of
spectators in tho upper galleries.
It was almost certain that no busi
ness would be transacted nt all un
til tonight. Chairman Hell of the
committee on credentials sent word
to Judge Parker that his commlttoe
could not possibly got through before
night.
Parker Bent a messenger to get
Murphy, Taggart or some other mem
ber of tho steering committee on the
telephone and ask Instructions. It
was certain that a recess would be
ordered. Until tho credentials com
mittee reports the tomporary roll no
business can be transacted by tho
convention. Thoro wiib a suggestion
that the convention meet and listen
to speeches by prominent democrats
but many democrats objected to this,
fearing that au attempt might be
made to start a stampede.
Many of the leaders wore greatly
concerned over tho success of llryan
lu lining up tho committee on reso
lutions to repmt tho platform after
and not before the nominations. This
revolutionary doctrine was designed
It was freely admitted, to mako tho
candidate run on tho platform rather
than to havo the platform used to
boom any particular candidacy.

NATIONAL CONVENTION
BALTIMORE, June 2d. It was,
generally accepted that the platform
committee would not bo able to report
to the convention before tomorrow al
though a determined effort was hcit)
made by the majority to havo the
report made today o that tho way
would be' clear for nominations to
morrow. President Gompers and Frank Mor
rison, of tlio American Federation of
Labor, presented the labor planks to
(ho committee and urged action on
them. They soemed more hopeful
that their claims would receive favor
able action than tliev were nt Chi
cago. Members of the committee admitted
Hint the big fight was to bo money,
trust, and tariff planks.
ISrynn, it was admitted would take
an advanced stand on the.se subjects
and if Ids' wishes were not carried
out, would make a fight on tho floor
which might jar the conservative eon
tori from its foundations.
llryan, it in known, favors the pro
position of making pergonal guilt
paramount in the trust doelaratbn
and pledging the party to legislation
that will make tlio punishment for
persons who engage in criminal com
iiinntiniic in restraint of trade, prison
sentences iu place of fines and mak
ing jail sentences absolutely manda
tory. Some of the couunitteo uivor hav
ing the tariff plank a return to the
days of Graver Cleveland and pledg
ing the party to a tariff for revenue
only. Other believed that it should
declare for high tariff on luxuries
and low tariff on necessities of lifo.

T.heodoro A. Ilell, of California,
who was then proposod, personally
appeared beforo tho comiultteo and
declined tho office. "What assur

BALTIMORE, June 20. It wan
12:25 when Temporary Chairman
Parker called the convention to order.
Eighty city police had been impressed
to aid the incompetent convention of
ficials and there was far loss disor
der in the hall while all tho aisles were
comparatively clear.
The opening invocation was deliv
ered by the HI. Rev. John Gardiner
Murray of Baltimore. In his prayer
he asked that the party be strength
ened to aid the nation, "which is now
passing through the most momentous
crisis in its history."
Ex-Govenior Blanchard of Louis
iana, for the committee on resolutions
asked that the business session he
adjourned until 8 o'clock tonight. "I
don't expect you to recess now," ho
said. "I know that thPs assemblage
wants a flow of oratory, nnd the ora
tors arc here But no business can bo
tratnactcd. nud I move that, when it
recess is taken, it bo until 8 o'clock
tonight."
Folk First Speaker
The motion was carried and former
Governor Joseph W- Polk of Missotpri
was introduced for tho first speech.
Folk declared that Colonel Uooso-

Taft, "now admits that ho made i
mistake in aiding to defeat Bryan."
The former Missouri exocutivo paid
tribute to Colonel Rryan, as "tho
greatest teacher iu tho history of tliu
United States." Folk made a plea
for a progressive democratic party.
Tho result was much confusion. Pnr
kor came to his rescuo by askiag for
order.
"No gentleman," began Parker,
with emphasis, on the second word,
"will talk to his neighbor when a dis
tinguished orator is trying to make
himself heard."
Itaynor's Fervid Oratory
This sally brought a sarcastic choar
from the New York delegation. Sena
tor Rayner of Maryland wns then in
troduced. Itnyner began by saying
that there would bo three parties in
the field this fall. "The motto of tho
republican party headed by Mr. Taft,"
ho said, "is 'Wo shall react nnd retro

"Tho motto of tho now party soon
to bo formed is 'Thou shalt not steal.'
"There is one motto for tho demo
