' and," he continued, "the only way to
prevent such a result Is to name your
man first.' Indeed," he went on. "In these
days the man is the platform. "The can
didate," he argued, "should have an op
portunity to talk about the platform in
advance of its making rather than Jto

Senator Clarke of Arkansas opposed

lKayr.er of Maryland, who, taking, sides
'emphatically with Mr. ' Bryan, said the
time had come for overthrowing unde-
Whr, Bryan Refilled.
In refusing to accept the chairmanship,
Mr. Bryan said: "I appreciate the com
pliment, but I am not willing to act as
chairman. . I am a believer in, harmony
but I think that the committee and its
officers ought to be in harmony wltH the
onventlon and I am not in harmony with
he organization of the convention nor of
'the national committee which controls the
organization of the convention.
"We used to have two (kinds of demo
crats, progressives and conservatives; we
now have only one kind, progressive, but
tie find there is a wide differense in the
definition of the word 'progressive,' and
I do not define progressivene&s as it is
defined by a majority of this convention,
and believelng in harmony I want to be
in harmony with the convention and I de
sire to be more free to represent the mi
nority sentiment. '
"I do not say that there will be a mi
nority report, but it would not look well
for .the chairman of the committeee to
take in a minority report It may be
necessary for me to take. In a minority
report. I do not know that it will, but
I do not want to place myself in that
awkward position and for that reason I
decline." v ,
Roles Committee Agree.
By a vote of 22 to 16 the rules commit
tee of the convention today agreed to the
plan to defer', the - presentation of the
platform until after the - party's candi
date for president had been nominated.
In the absence of any true indication as
to whether the conservative or the
progressive wings , of the 'party would
dominate the convention it was consid
ered good policy to hold back the plat
form in order to have it drawn so as to
be acceptable to the convention.
Another important proposition" passed
on by the rules committee was the recog
nition of the authority of a state conven
tion to instruct delegates to national con
ventions in the enforcement of the unit
rule, in the absence of a specific statute.
The proposition of recognizing the au
thority of a state convention arose be
cause of the situation in the Ohio dele
gation. . ". - - 4 - - , :
The state convention had Instructed the
Ohio delegation by a vote of 600 to 323
to vote as a unit for Governor Harmon.
Nineteen Ohio delegates, however,
claimed the right to violate these Instruc
tions because they had been elected 'as
avowed Wilson men in their respective
districts. ' r ' : '
The twenty-nine Harmon delegates held
that because In the preferential primary
vote Governor Harmon had a majority
of 10,000; over Governor Wilson the in

the nomination and election of delegates
and alternates to national political con
ventions In congressional districts ana

Following the defeat of Mr. Dunn's sub
stitute, Congressman Henry of Texas,
utated that he would present to the
convention as a minority report the Dunn
substitute. He was joined in the by tne
tn.mhar. of the committee who voted for
it and by- Charles Sprecker of Massachu

The following were apjolnted a sub'

pleted its work by agreeing that a com
mittee of three, composed of the chair
man. Representative Covington of Mary
land; Secretary E. P. Hill of Oklahoma,
and Representative Henry, of Texas
should make the minority report.
The Montana committeeman, M. v.
Baldwin, offered a suggestion that here

man Covington ruled that it was out of
order and should properly be acted on
by the resolutions committee.
LA FOLLETTEMEETS BRYAN
; (Continued from First Page.)
Follette in the past bad always held that
differences in the republican party should
be adjusted within the ranks.
As Mr. Bryan left his headquarters to
day Elisha Oarretson of Madison handed
him what has been called the La Fol
lette platform. Mr. Bryan stuffed the
manuscript In his pocket and hurried
away. .'
The advent of Francis J. Heney
of California, who fought for Mr. Roose
velt in the Chicago ' convention, and
Charles R. Crane of Chicago, who helped
to conduct the early La Follette cam
paign and a reported interview with Mr.
Bryan gave an impetus to the discus
sion. '
Heney said he had to come to Balti
more to see the democratio steam reller
at ; work; that he had become so accus
tomed to the "toot, toof ' at the Chicago
convention he could not sleep without it.

Follette was back in Washington today
from the 'Baltimore convention and. met
all. Inquiries of whether he had conferred
with William Jennings Bryan that Tie
had absolutely nothing to say on that
subject
"I merely went over to the convention,"
he said, "and may go over again.

and Chairman Parker, admonished them
to be quiet. -
Folk's speech was veTy. brief, and Sen
ator Raymer of Maryland was next
called on. He also predicted sueccbs fcr
the democratic nominee and discussed the
division in the republican pa.t :ind de
clared that the motto of the Taft fac
tion of the republican party would be
"We will react and ' retrogade." The
motto of the Roosevelt party, he quoted
as "Thou shalt not steal."
"Our motto in this campaign will
be "We shall progress," shouted Sena
tor Rayner and the crowd cheered. Aft
he had-spoken several minutes in denun
ciation of republican principles and pred
atory wealth. Congressman Henry t).
Clayton of Alabama, the next speaker,
turned to democratic prospects.
, "I do not know upon whom the nom
ination -of this convention," he began.
"Underwood." shouted an Alabama
delegate. , ' ;
"Clark," shouted a man from Missouri.
' "Wilson," came ' In answering chorus
from New Jersey.
"Harmon," called the Ohloans.
- In a moment the entire hall was swept
by the shouts and cheers and songs of
the adherents of the different candidates.
The band joined In the demonstration,
Parker Let. Them Howl.
..Chairman Parker for some time made
little effort' to quiet the enthusiasts. Mr.
Clayton stood at the speaker's desk
smiling. .
Some of the 'delegates attempted to
uproot the state standards, but the police
by quick work prevented. The aisles
became choked with delegates and It
seemed that many spectators had Invaded
the delegate section.
One man opened a big umbrella and
started a parade, but was headed off.
By this time Chairman Parker and the
sergeant-at-arms were making frantic,
but vain efforts to restore quiet.
"New Jersey, please sit down," called
a deputy sergeant-at-arms. ' .
"Missouri, please give the speaker a
chance," called another,
Mr. Clayton at last made himself heard
above the din. He declared that whoever
the candidate was he would be the
next president of the United States.
A round of cheers greeted Senator Gore
of Oklahoma, who was next Introduced.
The blind statesman was unable to pro
ceed with hie speech for some time be
cause of the uproar.
"Let us have peace," said Mr, Gore in
the course of his talk. "Let us have
peace at any price, at any sacrifice, save
that of honor. Let us here put every
democrat under bonds to keep the peace"
and a burst1 of applause greeted this
sentiment.
"Nothing can save the republican party
from self-slaughter except democratio
suicide," declared Gore. "We cannot live
half progressive and half reactionary.
Theodore Roosevelt endeavored to breathe
the breath of life, of modern progress
into the petrified remain ot the repub
lican party and be failed. The mummy
would not move." ' :
Senator Gore closed with pleas for
harmony, which called out much enthus

of this convention be your candidate."

papers" said Mayor Harrison "that there
was to be riot and bloodshed; and as
mayor, I was appealed to for police to
keep order. At the recent republican
national convention I was appealed to
by Mr. Revell, Senator Crane, Senator
Penrose, Mr. Hllles and Mr. Upham for
the same protection; and over 750 police
men were assigned to keep order at that
gathering."
Roger Sullivan insisted on , answering
Mayor Harrison although moraber ot the
committee were anxious to stop the Illi
nois argument
"That Is a pretty story," he said, "I
want to tell this committee that Mayor
Harrison's statement Is Incorrect Over
sin weeks before the convention met they
planned to carry it through with the aid

Sullivan declared election boards con
trolled by the Harrison faction had domin
ated many precincts. Notwithstanding
their control there, he said, the Sulli
van forces had a clear majority in the
state convention at Peoria. ''
The Illinois contest cases were the first
taken up when the credentials committee
met today In a session held bejilnd locked
end guarded doors. Each side to the
contests were given forty-five minutes
for the presentation of arguments. The
contestants in the case, were the Harrison-Hearst
delegates, who claimed to
have secured an actual majority of votes
over the Sullivan delegates, who had
been seated by the neUonal committee.
Claim, of Delegates.
The claims ot the Harrison-Hearst
delegates to the seats given the Sullivan
delegates in Illinois were presented to
the credentials committee by 8enator
Rayney of that state. The point made
against the contestants were that they
had not formally presented their contests
to the Illinois state convention at Peoria,
but had kept entirely out of that con
vention. It was on this ground, it was
said officially, that the national com
mittee gave the seats to the Sullivan fac
tion. .. -
