JULY 5, 1512
The Commoner,
only to 'their peope. The single
vbte was- counted for Wlson.
Just prior to the thirty-ninth bal
lot, he Illinois delegation lield a
caucus on the proposition of allow
ing a split to Wilson. It was decided
not to allow a break at that time,
and on the thirty-ninth the Wilson
people started a demonstration, but
the tired delegates did not respond
enthusiastically. Aided by the po
lice, Chairman James soon quieted
the uproar. On the thirty-ninth bal
lot Clark had only fifty-seven more
than the one-third necessary to hold
a ;veto power and prevent a nomina
tion. In Wisconsin another vote went
to Wilson from the Clark column.
Ofllcial vote, thirty-ninth ballot:
.- Clark, 422; Wilson, 501; Under
wood, 106; Harmon, 29; Foss, 28;
absent, .
Thitj ballot pulled Wilson's votes
above the 500 mark and his adher
ents on the floor cheered mightily.
Clark lost three to Wilson. Under
wood's vote was unchanged.
Just prior to the thirty-ninth bal
lot, the Illinois delegation held a
caucus on the proposition of allow
ing a split to Wilson. It was decided
not to allow a break at that time,
and on the thirty-ninth ballot all the
fifty-eight votes went for Clark.
Iowa gave Wilson two more Clark
votes, making the state's vote, Wil
son 16, Clark 10.
On the fortieth ballot, Clark re
gained one of Iowa's votes which
had deserted to Wilson.
In Ohio, Wilson gained one of the
original Harmon votes, giving him
twenty in the state to twenty-eight
for Harmon.
Fortieth ballot, ofllcial: Total,
1,088; Clark, 423; Wilson, 501;
Underwood, 106; Harmon, 28; Kern,
1; Foss, 28; absent, .
The only net change on this ballot
was .a. gain of one. for Clark and a
loss of one for Harmon.
Before Chairman James could
order the forty-first roll call, a tired
delegate" from Alabama yelled: "I
move that this convention adjourn
until 10 o'clock tomorrow."
A Mitchell Palmor of the Wil3on
forces demanded a roll call, but the
motion was withdrawn and the
forty-first roll call begun. -
The forty-first ballot showed a
loss of two for Wilson and a gain of
one for Clark.
Forty-flrfct ballot: Clark, 424;
Wilson, 499; Underwood, 106;
Harmon, 27; Bryan, 1; Kern, .1;
Foss, 28; Gaynor, 1; absent, V2.
When the vote was announced an
other attempt was made to adjourn,
this time until 11 o'clock tomorrow.
By the time Maryland had been
reached on a roll call on the motion
'to adjourn a big vote had been re
corded against it and it was with
drawn. Then, in great disorder, the forty
second .roll call began.
As the forty-second ballot pro
ceeded, the disorder grew until J.
Hamilton Lowis of Chicago, who was
" in the chair, had trouble enforcing
quiet. The delegates insisted upon
joking Lewis and the' convention
roared with laughter when Iowa's
vote was announced:
- "Twelve for Clark, thirteen for
Wilson and one foi"he Honorable J.
Hamilton Lewis."
It took Lewis several minutes to
subdue the uproar, but he finally an
nounced: "Please be as quiet as is consistent
with your convenience, gentlemen.
Let the roll call proceed."
When Michigan was reached the
Clark cohorts cheered, for the
speaker gained six votes at the ex-
ponse of Wilson. By this time the
delegates were so tired of the pro
ceedings that they did not take
things seriously. Every occurrence
or announcement that offered ..the
slightest excuse was made the basis
11
of a joke or was greeted with howls
and jeers.
Governor Brewer of Mississippi,
in announcing Mississippi's twenty
votes for Underwood, sang the last
syllable of the name in a free, rich
baritone.
Ho had been doing the same thing
throughout the evening, but this
timo the dologates took it up in a
long, loud roar:
"Who-o-o-o-o" swept tho hall.
Some of the more musical dele
gates surrounded tho roar with a
series of thrills and cadences.
Chairman Lewis had great diffi
culty In quieting the noise.
When tho result of this ballot was
announced, Delegate Waco of Wash
ington secured the floor and moved
to adjourn until noon, Tuesday,
July 2.
In the midst of disorder Senator
Stone of Missouri seconded tho mo
tion and A. Mitchell Palmer de
manded a roll call.
Tho roll call had scarcely begun
befofo tho weary delegates, seeing
that the motion was certain to pro
vail, began to crowd from their seats
and out of the hall. Tho aisles were
jammed before half a dozen states
were called, and-tho roll ended In
disorder. By the time the last state
had been called less than half the
delegates were in their places.
Tho end of tho call was finally
reached and at 12:43 a. m., the con
vention adjourned until noon Tues
day. A personal apology was made to
William J. Bryan tonight by Former
Governor Francis of Missouri, who
said he was not in tho convention
hall, during tho afternoon when
Clark adherents placed in front of
the Nebraska delegation a banner
inscribed with Mr. Bryan's former
eulogistic, estimate of the speaker.
Mr. Francis said the action ot the
man handling tho banner was an in
dignity, and expressed the opinion
that it would not have hapepned had
he been present.
Speaker Clark spent the evening
at tho city home of Mayor Preston,
near tho convention hall. Several
members of the Missouri delegation
met him at tho Preston home. It
was said ho would remain in the
race.
Although tho speaker was known
to have motored to Baltimore from
Washington early in tho day and to
have remained at tho home of a
friend for several hours, he did not
appear at any political rendezvous
tonight. It was said there had been
no conferences between the candi
date and his managers except by
telephone.
WARNING TO WALL STREET
AND TAMMANY
The following editorial appeared
in the New York World, Sunday,
June 23: Shall Wall street and
Tammany turn democratic oppor
tunity into democratic discord?
Shall Wall street and Tammany
turn democratic triumph into demo
cratic 'disaster?
Those are the first questions to be
answered at Baltimore.
The Murphys and the Ryans and
the Belmonts and the Sheehans are
already reaching out for the demo
cratic ational conventibn. The World
herewith warns the democratic party
that a Murphy-Ryan-Belmont-Shee-han
democracy is not worth saving.
A Murphy-Ryan - Belmont - Sheehan
ticket is not worth fighting for.
Eight years ago this same sordid
crew took possession of Judge
Parker's candidacy for president in
spite of the World's protests. As a
result of their withering influence
Judgo Parker polled only 5,077,911
votes, and fastened Rooseveltism
upon the country.
Parker was a worse beaten candi
date than Greeley and Roosevelt's
popular plurality was 2,545,515
votes. Parker's total voto was 1,
200,000 under Bryan's 1900 vote.
It was 1,400,000 under Bryan's
1896 vote. It was 479,000 under
Cleveland's 1892 voto and 460,000
under his 1888 voto. From 1884 to
1904 tho republican party gained
nearly 3,000,000 votes while the
democratic party gained only 170,
000. With tho Murphys and the
Ryans and tho Belmonts and tho
Sheehans in tho forefront of the
Parker campaign more than 1,000,
000 democrats refused to go to tho
polls, to say nothing of the demo
crats who voted for Roosevelt.
The samo men who blasted demo
cratic hopes in 1904 are seeking to
blast democratic hopes ,in 1912.
For Judgo Parker personally tho
World has only the kindliest feol
ings. If ho were selected by a unitod
party to bo temporary chairman of
the national convention, 'o should
havo no complaint to make. But wo
have serious complaint to make
when ho is put up as a rcspectablo
figurehead on a pirate ship manned
by Tammany and Wall street. We
havo serious complaint to make
when he is used as a screen to con
ceal the operations of corrupt capi
tal and corrupt politics. Wo havo
serious complaint to make when
Wall street and Tammany hide bo
hind him to ambush progressive
democracy.
If tho democratic party wishes to
make Roosevelt again a great cap
tain in American politics, it has only
to let Wall street and Tammany
dominate tho Baltimore convention.
If the delegates to the democratic
national convention wish to create
an irresistible popular demand for
Roosevelt and a third party, they
have only to follow the leadership of
tho men who are behind Judge
Parker.
Seven years ago political condi
tions in New York City wore not un
liko political conditions throughout
the country today. Hearst took ad
vantage of tho revolt against tho
bosses and the corporations to run
for mayor on an independent ticket.
The Murphys and the Ryans re
garded his candidacy with contempt,
but he came within 3,000 votes of
carrying the city. Ho smashed the
lines of both the democratic and re
publican parties in Now York, and
neither has yet recovered from the
effect of his candidacy.
If a political adventurer like Wil
liam R. Plearst could accomplish this
in New York city, what comd Theo
dore Roosevelt do in tho country at
large? '
The republican party is seething
with revolt. If Ryan and Murphy, If
Wall street and Tammany dominate
tho Baltimore convention the demo
cratic party will likewise be seething
with revolt. A new party will be
inevitable. The American people
will not submit to be tricked and
defrauded forever by corrupt bosses
and corrupt plutocrats.
Let Baltimore remember it.
