Armory Building, Baltimore, Md .
June 2S ? After the vote was tak
en last night declaring the organ
ization of the IVmocratic National
Convention permanent, Ollie James
was nominated for the permanent
chairman and after considerable de
hate, the roll call wan made and he
was elected by a big majority.
The delegation from AlaskH head
ed by lialv was then seated by a
?inanimous vote.
The next order of business being
the nominations for president and
vice president, an adjournment was
taken until S o'clock i>. m
Mrs William II. Taft was among
the spectators, and occupied a
prominent position in tho balcony
together with a number of other
svomen of national prominence
The Wilson boom is growing ill
strength each hour, and it is pre
dicted that if Bryan is not a can
didate the entire strength of the
Progressives will be thrown to him
At eight o'clock last night ("hair
man Ollie James wrapped the con
vention to order and the big show
was in an uproar at once
From the fall of the gavil, it
was clearly seen that Hryanism pre
dominated. and when the Commoner
made a speech before the meeting
declaring it unjust for the delega
i ions of the various states to be,
dominated over by class, and pre
sented a resolution declaring t'ie
convention opposed to the nomina
tion of any candidate who was un
der obligation to any class of mon
opoly or money power, whether it
be Morgan. Ryan Belmont or any
other prlvelege seeking class, the
convention went wild. It was many I
minutes before quiet could be re-!
stored, and a great debate followed
The resolution was finally passed
by an overwhelming two-thirds vote
The roll call by states was start-!
ed for nominations at ten-thirty, an<
I'nderwood w as placed in nomina- j
tion by Alabama The demonstra
tion which followed the nomination
lasted for twenty minutes. Arizona
yielded the floor to Missouri, and
Champ Clark was placed in nomin
ation by that state. Pandemonium
broke loose, and for an hour and a
half the demonstration was kept
up. At ton minutes after two o'
clock. l>cleware yielded the floor to
New Jersey, and Wood row Wilson's
name was put bofore the convention 1
This was the sicnal for the creat
est uproar of the session, and un
til four-thirty o'clock nothing could
be done, and the chairman merely j
awaited the cecession of the bedlam
when Indiana nominated Marshall
The seconding speeches then fol
lowed. and at fi 4 <"? o'clock, as the
dawn was peeping through the win
dows of the convention hall, the
chairman declared the vote in order.
and three minutes later, the bal
lot was begun, although many of
the delegates had to be awakened
from a sound sleep in which they
had boen indulging for the latter
part of the night.
The result of the first ballot was
as follows:
Champ Clark, 440H.
Wood row Wilson, 324.
Oscar W. Underwood, 117V*.
Governor Harmon, 14$.
Governor Marshall, 31.
Governor Baldwin, !!2
Immediately after the result of
the vote was announced, which was
at 7:2S a m . an adjournment was
taken until four o'clock this after
noon.
With one accord, the delegates
rushed from the Armory building
. for their respective hotels and
j tumbled into bed
As it requires 72!i ballots to
'nominate, it was demonstrated by
the first ballot that the contest is
far from being settled, and it is
; thought that Bryan Is looming up
big in the back ground as the
dark horse.
One of the freak ballots of the
votes cast was when the Alaska
delegation cast two ballots for
William Sul*er and four for Champ
Clark.
When the convention was called
to order at 4: IS this afternoon the
presidential situation was .is much
mti<3d;ed as ever. New York will
throw ninety votes to Wilson, as It
is predicted that Harmon will soon
withdraw.
It is believed that it will take the
fifth or sixth ballot before the elect
ion can be declared.
