".My name is (liildin, from Okla

to the present time I have followed
iinwiiveringly the .-tamlim! of the
great N'elrakan. On the temporary
eliainnaii-hip I followed him. Hut I
do not intend to sit here and hear
aperions on-t on democrats as good
as the Nebrakan ever will be. 1 do
not believe there would have been a
Wil-on delegate hero from Oklahoma
without my county. Hut 1 think it'"
tune to call a halt on personalities
ami ftnnd on democracy. I am willing
to go hack home with the record I
make here. 1 am willing that my vole
bo iiit on everv issue for the good
of the party. My record is clear and
1 want no public office."
''1 never scratched a democratic
ticket in my life," continued Giddings.
"I want to htale that I changed be
cause if Hie dominance of this man
prevails the advantage of tho nomina

tion is gone. 1 am as near the com
mon people as Mr. llryan. Hut I want
this convention to say to Mr. llryau:.
You shall not press down on the brow
of democracv u crown ."
Wild booing and jeering greeted
this sally and the hoenker was unable
to proceed.
(lidding stood fast wailing. "You
shall not press down upon the brow
of democracy," he finally yelled
nliovo the wild cheers, and yells of
tho crowd of frenzied delegates and
suolntors, "a crown of anarchy; you
shall not eriieify her on u cross of

standing that the climn.x of the big
democratic drama being staged hero
was due for presentation this nfler
noon, sizzling licat with humidity
that Would have done credit to a
tropic jungle proved too much tor the
spectatorH and when Chairman
James' gavel fell at 1 :t)(j p. m. the
alleries were scarcely one-third ftnl.
Not a breath of air was stirring in the
mammoth armory and a glaring miii
beat down on the steel roof.
The delegates were slow in trusting
themselves inside, nml it was not until
the roll call started on the thirteenth
ballot that they surged in to take
their places.
la spite of the fact that there wns
a mix-up in the ticket arrangements,
duo to the convention running over
into night sessions, there was no con
fusion and the doors were praotienlfy'
thrown-opcu to the relatively small
number who enred to trust them
selves inside. Double forces of doc
torsvaiid nurses were on hand armed
to handle the prostrations which
seemed iueitable.
A Negligee Crowd
It was decidedly a negligee crowd,
coats and vests were scarce as jit a
Hottentot dinner party. Collars and
ties began to go early, even the offi
cials on the speakers' stand stripping
for action during the early stage of
the proceedings. Thousands of fans
wero pressed into service. As soon
as the convention was called to order
the mil call on the thirteenth ballot
was started. No choice was expect
ed, however, as the "thirteen hoodoo"
loomed too large for tho superstition
of the delegates
Connecticut changed its vole a
triflo by giving Underwood seven in
stead of six votes, tho loser being
Wilson, who only received one, while
Clark held his strength of six.
Ohio put Governor Foss of Massa
chusetts into the running by giving
him two votes. Clark got two, Wil
son 1.) and 1 Inmion the remaining
''! of the Huckeye delegation.
Tennessee ulso made a ehaugo over
the last ballot giving Underwood four,
Wilson eight ami half, Clark 11 1-2.
llryan got a lone voto in Wisconsin.
It came from the Wilson camp, the
New Jersey governor's vote falling
back to li), while Clark received the
other six. Virginia after the roll, vot
ed 11 l-'J for Underwood, 9 1-2 for
Wilson, and :i for Clark.
Clerks Most Inefficient
Heforo tho result could be announe
ed the Porto Hican vote wns chal
lenged. Tho vote was finally announc
ed us .1 1-2 for Wilson and one-half
of a vote for Clark. The force ol
clerks was the most inefficient in the
history of a democratic national con
vention and tho votes wero recorded
in a haphazard style, with the result
that there were serious errors and do
lays in the announcements. Tho dele
gales linally began crying to the
chairman to "hurry up, hurry up."
W. J. Hryau went upon llie plat
form to consult with Ollie James and
a lively demonstration followed. The
topic of conversation was not re
vealed and llryipi went back to his
sent in tho Nebraska delegation,
where ho consulted with n number of
his lieutenants.
No Choice on the Thirteenth
There being no choice on the thir
teenth Chairman James ordered the
fourteenth roll call. When Connecti
cut was called tho delegation gave
Wilson ouo vote- nhovo their previous;
one. Underwood lost tho one. In

Senator Ilankhead, Underwood'o

the Emerson Hotel, where the Clark-
ites assembled in a war council to
plan the strategic moves of their cul
minating efforts.
Ilankhead, Ollie James. Senator
Stone, former Senators Dubois and
Pettigrew attended.
"I will not deny that Underwood's
friends have been conferring with us
but it would spoil things to tell our
plans just now," said Dubois.
From an Underwood lieutenant,
however, it was leaned that 'the
Clark forces will confine their ef
forts to "put over" their candidate on
the first ballot of the afternoon ses
sion. They nope to have the aid ot
'2', Underwood votes, 20 Harmon
Oliio'ans and ten Oklahomaus to start
the defection from tho Wilson column.
Senator Stone, Clark's strategic
expert, declared at noon teday:
"We will nominate somebody sure
and it probably will be Clark, for we
