DANGER APPARENTLY PASSED Precedent Established by Washing- . 'ton, Jefferson and Their Suc cessors Preserved by Sen timent of Voters. BALTIMORE, June 2o.-Judge Parker fn his address as temporary chairman of the democratic national committee said "We meet while the hills yet echo tho ' wild cries of liar, thief and traitor and furious walls of fraud, bribery, treachery rind corruption; and our ears weary with the din of articulate shrieking and pas sionate villlfication of the most shame- ' till brawl of our political history. "Our candidates, however, are, with out exception, men of such lofty mien that we meet immune from the distemper which seized the Chicago convention, and privileged to discharge a solemn duty calmly, deliberately, seriously. ' . 'The cause of government by the peo pie, the world over has been materially .checked by the disgraceful brawl which terminated In the bedlam of Chicago. Every good citizen has been put to shame by .the brutafitysand the abuse which characterized this wrangle between a president and an ex-president, Gratitude, friendship, party loyalty, patriotism and common decency . were forgotten in the trouble. The assault upon the unwrit' ten prohibition against a third term made, In , the wild scramble for the re publican nomination, warns lis of the vital necessity of Incorporating In our constitution a safeguard against repeated terns. ". ; ' In the beginning of our constitution making it was urged by delegates partici pating that safety required constitutional limitation of the period of years one man might hold the office of president. His tory warned them of the coming of a man whose insatiable lust of power would be as consuming as Caesar's, towering high above his love of country. The dan ger seemed, even to the pessimists, to have passed with the establishment of a precedent by Washington, Jefferson and their successors. Indeed, where lives tho man who has not either heard or said that an unwritten, law forbids more than two terms, and t 'anyone could be bo foolhardy as to seek further he would n crushed r the -wrath of ft patriotic and intelligent people. , - '. , Quotation from Roosevelt. "The man who split his party at Chi cago, ' once, recognized the third term tradition and once, acknowledged Its ap plication to his situation. On the eve of his triumph in 1501, he said: The . wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the sub stance and not the fcrm, and under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination. ''Wrong. In this year of grace, he was right in that. Peradventure he was honest with his soul and he may have confessed to it that even a president nay be tempted to resort to sordid devices and shameless importunities to gain his ambition. If so he was in mental condi tion to realize to the full the danger to the republic involved in setting aside a custom constituting the only bulwark against the assaults of men whose ambi t'on chokes their patriotism arid whose selfish desire for personal victory and power throttles those moral scruples with which they may once have been - en dowed. "Would the man who threw his hat In the ring and sought to slug his opponent over the ropes in his fight for a third term rest satisfied with Us achievement? Clearly .'Ms lust, of power would have brooked no such limitation. A third term would but have whetted his desire for more, and as the terms slipped away each renewal would discover greater Injury to our constitution, to the form of govern ment established under It, and to every legal curb on his Imperious will. This Is the man who menaced us with an increase of federal power by usurpation of state rights and without authority of constitu tional amendment; the man who took the Isthmus of Panama and let congress de bate about it afterward, the man who liavlng enough money to send the fleet on its famous cruise to the Pacific sent it without sanction of congress, leaving St to appropriate the money for the return 'When congress deemed that necessary. This is the man' who advocated federal' Incorporation for the Increase of power at Washington and the lightening of legal ; burdens on the corporations; the man who authorized the absorption of the Ten nessee Coal and Iron company by the Steel trust; the man who by many such ilrautlc acts and by unnumbered words has sought to- batter down our statutory and constitutional safeguards. Talks About Tariff. "In this country, which boasts of a wealth of J13O,000,00O,OPO ag against $S0, OOO.COO.OOO for Great Britain and Ireland. t3,eoo,0)0,(iOO for France and 860,000,000,000 for Germany, all are conscious that too larsje a part of our wealth has been se cured by a small percentage of our pop ulation, and that the cost of living rises faster than the average Income. " The principal cause of all this is found in the tariff statutes, and In the combinations restraining trade and competition, ere ated for the purpose of wringing from the public every dollar that the tariff statutes make possible. An awakening of the people led the republican national convention of 1909 by Its platform to promise a revision. True it did not in terms promise a revision of the tariff downward, but its assurance of a revision of the tariff by a special ses sion of congress to be called Immediately i after the Inauguration of the next presl- j dint was Intended to hold (he tariff re diction republicans in line, while the trick in the phraseology was to be made tContinucd on Eighth Page.)

The ugly steel girder under the roof were hidden by a false celling of light netting.' From the galleries bung the banners of the varieus states and the territories and in sular possessions. The crowd came slowly and when the band began to play at U o'clock the gal' leries and the guest sections surrounding the delegates on the floor held but a scattered few. The delegates, as usual, on the opening day of a convention, were slow In making their appearance. A pouring rain and a scarcity of vehicles made progress from the headquarters hotels to the armory a somewhat serious problem. " Everyone -was expecting a great demon stration when Mr. Bryan appeared in the bail. Word came to the convention that he was continuing his conferences right up to the hour of convening. The committee In charge of the con vention arrangements had given the most prominent places on the floor to the states having avowed presidential candidates In the field. ' . ' ' " Location of Delegations, To the right of the main aisle and di rectly in front of the stage was Missouri, home state of Speaker Champ Clark. To the left was New Jersey, with Woodrow Wilson as a favorite son. Back of Mis souri came Ohio, with Governor Harmon in the field. Back of New Jersey was Alabama, home of Representative Oscar W. Underwood. Indiana did not fare so well, but the members of that delegation did not regard this is in any way dimin ishing the chances of Governor Marshall.

' ' At 11:36 It was discovered that, the slow arrival of delegates was due in' part to the close scrutiny of tickets and creden tials by the doorkeepers, a long line of delegates and, others being held up but side the building. Senator John Sharp WliTiams of Mississippi had a great deal of difficulty getting in. ; , . The first cheer of. the convention went to Governor Wilson. . As the delegates' seats began to' fill. up a standard bearer marched up the center aisle carrying a big white silk banner bearing a gold star and the Inscription, "Grand Old Texas. Forty votes for Woodrow Wilson, the people's choice." As the banner appeared a cheer swept the scattered crowds in the galleries. The delegates then on the floor did little cheering. Cardinal Gibbons, ' who was to make the opening prayer, entered the hall at 11:45 accompanied by Chairman Robert Craln of the local committee on arrange ments and preceded by a squad of police : men. , Cardinal Gibbons In his red robe made a picturesque figure among the soberly clad delegates who wore rainy- day clothing. .

The house was quickly In disorder. The speaker, finally secured quiet and ordered Mr. Lansbury to leave. He replied: "I'll not do It while these contemptible things are torturing and murdering women." . He yelled this out In a loud vplce and appeared to be much overwrought, but when the speaker warned him he would be forcibly ejected unless he went of his own accord the labor members gathered with their colleague and Induced him to quit.
