BALTIMORE. Md.. June 2a.-(SpeelaI

to tell the Nebraska delegation at Its ses
sion last night asembled for the purpose
of selecting' the various representatives
for 'places on resolutions, credentials.
roles, order of business and soforth, that
the most vital thing at this time was,
that the Nebraska . delegation should go
on record . for temporary chairman; that
some progressive democrat '.should .be
elected for that office; that there should
be no retreat from democracy position
taken a score and a half years ago; and
that 'the' state' could not afford to. have

Bryan did not hesitate to tell the Ne
braska, delegation. at, its session tonight,
assembled for . the purpose : of selecting
the various .representatives for places on
resolutions, credentials. ' rules, , order of
business, and soforth, that the most vital
thing at this -time was. that the Ne
braska delegation should go on record for
temporary chairman; ' that some . , pro-.
gresslve democrat should be elected for
that' office; that there should be no re
treat from democracy's 'position taken a
score and a half years ago; and that the
state could not afford to have its position
misunderstood.
Hitchcock for Compromise.
Senator Hitchcock, smooth and smiling.
gave, it as his opinion that any expression
was really , out of order, for after, all, it
vas purely an Individual opinion and not
binding on the members of the delegation.
He was opposed to any expression, not
because he was for Parker, but because
he thought the whole ' fight might be
dropped before noon tomorrow and some
other name presented.-: 1 ,
Mr. Bryan, looking fit for a fight or a
frolic, remarked that .Kentucky in its
delegation meeting today had voted for
Parker, that "Wisconsin ana Kansas and
Minnesota vampng other utiles had voted
against Parker,, and he thought Nebraska
could do no more than so on record, even
though ; it was not binding on delegates.
"It is only an expression that ! want,"
aid Mr.' .Bryan.
Senator Hitchcock, with memories of a
steam roller, demanded that the delegates
go on record whether thy would support
Parker or a ' progressive and the ' way.
they '. rolled the Omaha editor was a
plenty. . ' v , . V ' i..; '-.
: Roller Hits Senator..
By a vote of 13 to 3 the delegation de
cided" that, they would support' a progres
sive candidate la the event Judge Parker's
name is presented, and. it It is not. they
would be ,pn record anyhow. . '. . -.
The three who . voted against pledging
the delegation" on the motion of Mr. Bryan
were Messrs. Hitchcock, McShane and
Kelly. ..,
With this wry important matter cut of
the way, so important that Mr.. Bryan
said tonight he would take the temporary
chairmanship matter 'to -tb floor -of the
convention If necessary, the Nebraska
delegation proceeded to ratify a cut and
dried program as 'follows: , . . .
Chairman . of ; Delegation George I
Loomis. r N ' - V ; "
Resolutions W. X Bryan.
Credentials-Matt Miller. .
Kules-rl.' J. Dunn. ' ' '.
Vice Chalrman-G. M. Hitchcock.,
Permanent Organisation A. , S. Tlbbets.
To Notify President C. J. Smyth.
To Notify Vice President P. W. 6hea.
In passing it may be said for the Ne
braska democrats they steam rollered
Senator Hitchcock in open session, and
yet, while he did not like it, be smilingly
remarked that he could, not have ex
pected anything else in view of the com
position of the delegation.
Delegation Determined.
The discussion on Mr. Bryan's proposi
tion as temporary chairman brought out
the views of Tlbbets, Dunn and Miller,
who were emphatic In their declaration
that failure to take a stand upon so vital
a question would be little less than a
crime; that Nebraska was not afraid to
speak out way back yonder In 1896, and
therefore it ' ought not to '.be afraid to
speak out now. Judge Tlbbets offered it
as his opinion that the issue -was vital
and to shirk responsibility was cowardice, j
Not unemphatlc were the views of I.-J.
Dunn, who did not mince words. when he
remarked that, the 'Issues' were .well de
fined and that the Nebraska delegation
could not' afford to be behind Its sister
states In recording Itself along progressive
lines.
Half a hundred people were present at
the meeting of the delegation. .
Give Bryan Chance.
"They are going to put the kibosh on
Bryan" was a familiar expression heard
about. reactionary headquarters, and yet
to the "Looker on in Vienna" it seems
a most unusual way to go about It when
they are giving Bryan the opportunity
he has prayed for, to go before the con
vention and place In nomination in all
probability Senator Kern of Indiana to
make the fight for the progressives as
temporary chairman.
The fight on temporary chairman sug
gests In many ways the fight made In
the republican convention in Chicago
against Elihu Root. It bears an intimate
relation to the general proposition and
Bryan has come to Baltlmoit to have his
way or know the reason why. .
"There will be no compromises. If the
national committee aueresta Judce Par.
Iter, we will oppose him; not on account
of personality, but because of principle."
And they go to the mat tomorrow. :

(Continued from 'First Page.)
there were not more than fifty spectators
on -hand. , , ', ; .' , ,"'
Cardinal Gibbons' entered the hall at
11:45, accompanied by Chairman Robert
Craln of the local committee and a' num
ber of convention officials. .
Popular southern airs, culminating with
Dixie, brought out frequent bursts from
the throng, who waited Impatiently for
the. arrival of the conspicuous figures.
Convention officials began taking their
places on the platform a few minutes be
fore noon. The floor . of the convention
hall was now well filled with delegations,
bub some of the notable ones. New Jer
sey,. Missouri and Nebraska, had not ar
rived. ' ! '
Bryan Keens Oat of Sight.'
Bryan slipped into the convention hall
by one of the side entrances and was on
the platform some' minutes without' be
ing recognized by the waiting - throngs.
He shook hands with Cardinal Gibbons,
who was. waiting to pronounce the open
ing Invocation. Bryan continued to screen
himself from the .crowd and few knew
be was present. '' ''" ." " "" "' '"
As the noon hour, approached -the hall
filled rapidly. A -band played popular
airs and was greatly applauded. , ,
The first wave of applause came when
the Texas , delegation entered, waving a
Wilson banner.
Chairman Mack called the convention
to order at 12:1b p. m., and practically
quieted, the uneasy and noisy throngs.
Judge Parker entered, the convention
hall Just after proceedings had opened.
accompanied by the New lork delegation.
There was - little demonstration.'
Continued disorder delayed the opening
proceedings and Chairman Mack appealed
to delegates to take their seats and
clear the aisles. A Texas delegate with
stentorian voice - shouted to Chairman
Mack that 300 delegates were still in line
outside the hall and that the convention
should not proceed until they could get In.
At 12:30 practically, all the delegates
were ln place, . and appeals were again
made for' order. s
- , Secretary Reads Call.
The call for., the democratic national
convention was formally read at 12:32
by one of the secretaries.
Cardinal Gibbons in his brilliant scar
let robes pronounced the opening Invo
cation, the entire assemblage standing
with bowed heads. : - .1
Senator' Kern entered the hall, as the
prayer closed and received a round of
applause,' ' with scattered shouts of
"Bryan. -
Chairman Mack directed the reading of
the names of the temporary officers. The
first name, Alton B. Parker of New York
for temporary, chairman, was greeted
with a great wave Of cheering, to which
the band, added, its lively strains.
William J. Bryan rose suddenly on the
platform' andj was greeted with Immense
cheering. ' -
Bryan stood In the center of the plat
form while wave after wave of tumultu
ous cheering swept over the hall. He mo-
Ooned for silence, but the cheering kept
Up. -' ' ' '
".Bryan Nominates Kern.
. Bryan finally secured quiet and began
speaking, placing in nomination for tern
porary" i chairman Senator Kern of . In
diana. The delegates rose, cheered and
swung their hats.
Bryan spoke slowly, his words being
punctuated with cheers. "If any of you
ask for my credentials," he said, "I beg
to tell you that in three campaigns I
have been the champion of the demo
cratic party's principles, and in three
campaigns have received the votes of
six and one-half million democrats."
Tumultuous cheering.
"Has . anyone sought harmony more
than IT" asked Bryan.
. "No, no," came from all over the hall
Bryan said he had urged the national
committee to consult the candidates, par
ticularly -the two leading candidates, but
without avail.
The friends of Wilson had united with
those of Clark in favor of a candidate
for temporary chairman, continued Bryan,
and had been turned down by the na
tional - committee.
"The song of victory should be sung bv
one whose heart has been in the fight,"
was -one of Bryan's stirring phrases. "
" Cries for Parker. -
"What' better man could we find than
Kern?" exclaimed Mr. Bryan.
. -"Parker," -came shouts in reply, mingled
with "Kern." ,
" Bryan had spoken twenty-two minutes
when there were demonstrative interrup
tions, from the . galleries with cries of
"Parker."
Bryan's stirring sentences still had the
crowds cheering again. "We are writing
history today," he exclaimed, "the coun
try. Is waiting to hear whether this con
vention will follow Chicago in listening
to the voice of predatory" wealth."
Bryan said the people had not forgotten
the promise of campaign funds from Wall
street, eight years ago. 1
After- Bryan had spoken thirty-six min
utes there was another outburst of
"Parker" shouts from the galleries.
, Bryan closed at 1:28, amid tumultuous
cheers after speaking forty minutes.
Senator Kern took the platform as
Bryan . closed, and . was mildly cheered.
Kern said he wished to take no action
which would prejudice Indiana's candi
date for. the presidency, Governor Mar
shall. ...
"I believe that Judge Parker is as
earnestly., desirous of democratic suc
cess this year as I am" continued Mr.
Kern, amid shouts of "Parker" greeted
the announcement. : '
Mr. Kern appealed to Parker to unite
with him in the support of Senator O'Gor
man of New York. - Senator Culberson
of Texas; Representative Clayton of Ala
bama, or one of a number of others be
designated. Representative Fitzgerald of
Brooklyn, in. behalf of Judge Parker,
made his way toward the platform.
- Kern, . continuing, protested against ad
verse : cries of Bryan, exclaiming that
jeers for the old leader meant, not demo
cratic homicide, but suicide.
."If the appeals, for harmony did not
avail," exclaimed Kern, .then the demo
crats must turn . to . the acknowledged
leader, and that leader must be William
J. Bryan. .
Great cheering followed, while Bryan,
again mounting the platform, motioned
for' order.'.
Bryan said he had appealed to one
leader after another to accept, but in
vain. V- ..'.
'And if no other progressive appears,"
he declared vehemently, "I shall accept
the candidacy and let you express througn
me what you have fought for for sixteen
years.'
Theodore A. Bell of California took the
platform to second the nomination of
Parker.
Parker Speakers Jeered.
Cries of "Vote, vote" interrupted the
speech of Bell.
Great disorder continued to Interrupt
Bell and the galleries were warned they
would be cleared tomorrow if the dis
orderly scenes continued.
Representative Fitzgerald of Brooklyn
aa recognised to speak In behalf of
Parker. Fitzgerald spoke amid derisive
yells from all quarters. The floor and
galleries were in great disorder.
It was reported Senator Kern had been
taken, ill from the heat and had gone to
the hotel.
Sergeant-at-Arms Martin shouted about
the ' disorder and said the . convention
would be adjourned unless order could
be secured and the speakers listened to.
Fitzgerald announced that Parker
would not - withdraw.
A platoon . of police was marshalled
into the hall and down the aisles in an
effort to quell the disorder. A delegate
vehemently protested again "gag rule."
Bryan again took the platform.
Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee says
from the platform: "We are not going
to have a mob like Chicago. I demand
order." -
Bryan made point of order that Chair
man Mack had announced a roll call
during the period of disorder, but that
under the rules each side should have an
opportunity to present its position.
. Cone Johnson of Texas voused a tre
mendous outburst by the declaration:
"The fight Is now on, with Bryan on
on eside and Wall street on the other."
