June S0.-The first step toward the organization in New York . j states 6f the iiew party launched Jn ' Chi cago by supporters of -Theodore Rooie ' velt was taken today by City Comptroller William X. Prendergast. Mr. Prender- gast was appointed to represent his state ' on the committee formed in Chicago to organize the new party. He laid the cause before the people today, in an ad dress to voters. Provisional organiza tion, he says, will be effected without delay and permanent organization will follow as quickly as possible. In his statement Mr. Prendergast says in part: "I submit this appeal to men ' of all parties and men who have had no previous political affiliations. In the name of the already great number who have expressed their approval of a new political party, I ask republicans and democrats to enroll themselves in defense of honesty in political work and the advocacy of genuine principles of poli tical, social and industrial reform. 'This new party will not be the re sult ot any sudden Judgment passed upon the high handed acts of the republican national committee and the discreditable work ot the republican national conven- : The acts of that convention have rendered it necessary that a new party shall be formed, but the purpose the new roove- . ment win serve is one towards which' the hearts of millions of men have been di rected in the last few years. ' "A new party is a necessity because so many, have come to realize the hope . lessness of truly efficient-and upright government through the agency of either of the old parties, unless they could be effectually divorced from the sinister con trol of those who believe that the power - tc take' is a fitting rule of life."

NEW YORE CANNOT NAME MAN Convention Set In Turmoil When the Commoner Makes His Declaration -Asainat "Tainted" Support for Candidate. . BY EDGAR C. SNYDER. ' - BALTIMORE, " . Md., June 30.-(Speclal Telegram.) William Jennings ; Bryan is the most execrated and the most wor shipped man in Baltimore tonight, for he has beaten political experts of the oppo sition to progressive policies and has set for himself a new standard of political acumen such as is rarely witnessed in a combat of acceptedly great leaders. Bryan forced a change In the monot onous vote of' the Nebraska delegation; "thirteen for Clark and three tor Har mon," on the fourteenth ballot, when he rose to explain the reason of his contem plated change from the generally ac cepted order ot things. . Grasping the standard which .indicated the location of the Nebraska delegation and standing on his chair, Bryan com manded the attention of the chair. ' A poll of the delegation.-had been called for and the vast audience was on edge in' anticipation of something sensational about to happen. -s' .Bryan Smiles nt Tumult. "Vote," "Vote," . came from several points among the delegates' The gal leries took up the cry, but the friends of the Commoner got right back with cries ot , "Bryan," "Bryan," and the cries for the colonel seemed far to outnumber the voices calling upon the Nebraskan to ex press his preference if a change . was contemplated. Throughout the tumult Bryan stood im passively, with a halt smile on his face, looking over into the section of the con vention hall occupied by the New York delegation. As the shouting died away Colonel Bryan demanded to be heard in explanation of his vote. Chairman James announced that nothing was in order but the poll of the delega tion, -and he directed the clerk to call the roll Bryan refused to respond to the roll call without he was given permission to make a statement as to his vote,' and he started to make a speech that gave evi dence of being another bomb shell in the camp of the '"predatory interests," for Bryan dreams of these things at night and he fights them by day. Make Rule, for Bryan. Chairman James ruled that Bryan could not speak, but must answer to his nam as the delegation was called. . And still he stood there a lone figure in a mass ot humanity all fighting to put their par ticular partisan over the plate. Then pandemonium' broke out and tor many minutes it continued, until Chairman James got frightened over the ominous sounds of resentment and asked unani mous consent of the convention that Mr. Bryan be permitted to make the explana tion, which he. was bent upon making. There" jvere shouts of "objection," But -as no delegate arose to make 'his protest good the Nebraska delegate-at-large was accorded unanimous consent to go before the convention for a fourth time and ones more show his power over the delegates. ' Makes Monition Clear. The i colonel In a carefully prepared statement told' the situation as it existed in the .Nebraska delegation. That he and some of hlsvfrlends could not vote for a candidate whose nomination might be se cured by the votes of New York and he therefore had decided to change his vote, not because he believed that the time to change had been reached, but because a number of the delegation had decided to change whether he changed or not. "I shall withhold my vote from Mr. Clark as long- as New York's vote is recorded for him," he declared.- "I will not be a party to the nomination of any man who will not be prepared when presi dent to refuse to accept the nomination of Moragn,. Ryan and Belmont and. who is not prepared .to make this government of the people, for the people and by the people." ' This was his theme, this his mission to the convention. Bryan wanted to -bring about the nomination of a progressive, and yet as long as New York voted for Clark he was being put in the reactionary category, according to the Commoner. - Sweet Mnaic to Him. There were groans, hisses, cat calls and raucous shouts as Bryan read the care fully prepared statement, but above all and over all were the cheers and the ap plause, sweet music to this master of political manipulation, who cowed the on position by his very boldness, ignoring rules with easy nonchalance. Of course, he won, for Bryan Is far and away the most commanding figure in this history making aggregation of distinguished dem ocrats, the brilliancy and Intrepidity of his attacks upon Wall street and the money-changers suggesting Sheridan in his cavalry charges. . When Bryan, after an impassioned speech, announced that he would vote for Wilson the break from Ciark began and Nebraska was polled, Hitchcock and Loomls of the delegates-at-large, G. B. Kelly, and George C. Gillan voting for Clark, . the rest of the delegation voting for Wilson, following Bryan's lead. Break Not Well Timed. But Bryan did not want to make the break at the time it occurred. I have this on the authority of Judge A. S. Tlbbetts that there were a number of the delegation insisting upon voting for Wilson, notwithstanding the colonel's in structions that they should postpone th change until later. . The fact Is that a majority of the del gatlon had determined to make the break, even if Bryan refused to Join them, tor at heart they were Wilson men, although pledged to the speaker of the house of representatives. "I regard as unfortunate that Clark is Involved in the situation. I do not be lieve the speaker is guilty of lining up with the Ryans and the Belmonts, but In view of all the circumstance and New York's vote, I am inclined to believe that where there is. smoke there must be fire," said Judge Tlbbetts. Senator Hitchcock, who has been found voting for Harmon and Clark, Is naturally resentful over Bryan's assumption of com plete dominion over the members ot the delegation, and he did not hesitate to talk out in meeting after the poll had been (Continued on Second Page.) NO CHANCE SEEN. TO ENDSESSION Hope of Nomination at Baltimore on the First Ballot Today is : Abandoned. .s? NO LEADER fflarVa Vtf. &ivaoseiess. MUCH FEELING AGAINST WILSON Action - of Bryan : Rouses Intense Antagonism. MAY BE DARE HORSE IN END Gennlne Attempt to Compromise Is Likely to Bo Made It Underwood and Wilson Should Be Thrown . Back Beaten. BALTIMORE, June 30. Hope of nom ination on the twenty-seventh ballot for president was practically abandoned by democratic leaders tonight. ; ' When the national convention adjourned for Sunday it was believed that some solution of the long deadlock would result from conferences between the champions of the three leading candidates, but it developed that the time had not arrived for the withdrawal of either Speaker Clark, Governor Wilson or Representative Underwood. It was not expected that the first ballot tomorrow would materially differ from the twenty-sixth. Campaign managers possibly might have reached some agreement if Interest in the deadlock had not dwarfed by the personal controversy developed between William J. Bryan and Speaker Clark. The visit of Mr. Clark to Baltimore and bis arrival too late to attempt vindication ot himself . before the convention over shadowed everything else as a subject ot Sunday gossip. Party leaders generally took the posi tion notwithstanding the Missourlan's im passioned .denial of Mr. Bryan's imputa tion that he was beholden to Morgan Belmont and Ryan that he would be unable to regain the votes he had loit At the same time many of them thought that sympathy for Mr. Clark and the Inevitable linking of Bryan and Wilson in the minds of delegates, by reason of the New Jersey candidate having ben the beneficiary of the votes turned away from Mr. Clark by the Nebraskan'S philippic had injured the chance of Wil son's nomination. Summary of Situation. . j The situation as seen by leaders not associated intimately In the management of any of the campaigns seemed tonight to be about as follows: Clark, having failed of nomination, for seventeen ballots after receiving a ma jority vote probably had reached the crest of his strength. Wilson, although climbing steadily, apparently; was bit- terl . opposed by delegates who resented the general impression that Colonel Bryan had the vote power, although he lacked the votes necessary to control the nomination. . - , : These delegates believed that .the New Jersey governor would, continue to gain even to the point where he had a ma jority, but that he could not break down the Clai'k strength; which was said to be determined that Bryan should not win through a combination ot any kind. - Should Clark and Wilson fall on the next two or three ballots it was predicted that there would be a turn to Repre sentative Underwood, who had held his normal vote from first- to last. Under wood forces were watching for just such a contingency and claimed to be prepared to take full advantage of it. Whether the Alabama candidate could win or not was the subject of much speculation, but outside of the delegates who hadrvotod for hlra on twenty-six ballots there did not appear to be much enthusiasm. Genuine attempts at compromise are likely to be made, if Wilson and, Under wood should follow Clark upon a high wave of votes and still fail to get the necessary two-thirds, but it was not ex pected tonight that any of the "dark horse" candidates will stand much show until the three leaders in turn have tried and failed. Two Hundred Turks ' Killed in Battle ROME, June 30. Another severe battle at Tripoli on June 28 is described in an official dispatch received here tonight. According to the message a whole divis ion attacked the heights of Sidi Said and neighboring positions where masses or Arabs and Turks who had escaped defeat the previous day were lying in deep intrenchments reinforced by a heavy contingent. AH the Italian guns aided the attack ing party from shore and three warshln bombarded the positions. Then two col umns advanced for the assault routing the enemy with repeated bayonet charges. They occupied the heights upon which Italian guns were mounted. The Turks left 200 dead and a laree number of wounded on the field. The Italian forces captured great quantities of arms, ammunition and - cattle. The Italian losses totaled ten dead and seventy-eight wounded. In the previous engage ment the Italians lost twenty-nine killed. FARMERS PROTEST AGAINST - RAISE IN TELEPHONE RATES LINCOLN, Neb., June JO. (Special.) The Northeast Lancaster County Farm ers' club held its monthly meeting at E. Samuelson's place last Thursday and a very interesting program was rendered. Among the various subjects discussed was that of the present telephone ques tion as to the raise In rates. The dis cussion was very spirited and an organ ization was started and money raised for the purpose of remonstrating against any raise in rates. W. B. Cook ot Waverly was elected president; ' M. M. Malone of Havelock, treasurer, and H. C Luckey. of University Place, secretary and acting attorney for the organization It; is probable that a mass meeting will be called In the near future to meet at Havelock or some other convenient place to get all telephone patrons In Lancaster county, both from the country and the villages, Interested In the movement and to take a united stand in the matter. From the St. Paul Dispatch, SPEAKER1 DEMANDS PROOF Throws Down Gage of Battle to Bryan in Statement. HURRIED TRIP TO BALTIMORE Attempt to Make Grandstand Play In Convention Thwarted by Some of'.Hia Own Lenders ' by Q nick Adjournment. BALTIMORE, June JO. Spaker Xlark came to Baltimore last night in response to ths urgent request Of former Senator Fred J. Pubols, his campaign manager, and George Fred. Williams of Massa chusetts who represented that the Mis sourlan's candidacy had suffered by rea son of an "attack on his norior" by .Wil liam Jennings ' Bryan. The convention, apparently hoplessly deadlocked, had ad journed until Monday before the speaker's arrival.' ' ' ' '' ' ', ! " Back of Mr. Clark's coming ' was a rumor of disruption in his political camp. Senator Stone, former Governor Francis and the main body of the Missouri dele gation were , said to be strenuously op posed to the speaker making any appeal to the convention In his own behalf. They objected to the activity of Messrs. Dubois and Williams. It was no surprise therefore when Gov ernor Francis seconded the motion from the Wilson camp that an adjournment over Sunday should be taken. Mr. Clark's train left Washington at 10:45 o'clock and the adjournment was taken within fifteen minutes of the time the news reached the convention floor. There is a great deal of bitterness 8 gainst Mr. Bryan among the Clark ad herents. They feel that the Nebraskan had . no right to attempt to place a Morgan-Belmont-Ryan brand on the speaker just because the New York dele gation gave its support to him. They have attempted to offset the action of the progressives ' by Mr. Bryan's state ment that he would withhold his vote from the Mlssourlan So long as New York's vote went to him. Statement About Bryan. After a conference with Mr. Hearst, Senator Stone,. David R.Francis and oth ers, Speaker Clark issued the following statement: - 'Today in the national convention an outrageous aspersion was cast upon me and through me upon the democratic tarty by one who of all men ought to be the last to besmudge or betray his friends or his party. . So far as I am personally concerned it Is enough to say that the charge which reflects upon my personal or party Integrity is utterly and absolutely false. I might afford to forget myself, but I am by the choice of the democratic majority of the house of representatives, the ranking official democrat in national public life. I can not be false or corrupt without reflect ing upon my party in the most serious way. - "v ". ;' : ' "Any man who would; enter-into an alliance with any selfish interest or privileged class of this country to gain the nomination for the presidency is un worthy of the presidency and of the speakership of the house. If I have not entered into such an alliance then the democrat, however distinguished, who wantonly charges me with this act is s traitor to the democratic party and to his professed friendship for me. Asks Proof or Retraction. "I am not here to plead for a nomina tion or to attempt to Influence any man's political action. Let every man proceed In this convention "according to his con victions and the expressed will of his constituents. I ask no undue considera tion from any man, be he friend or foe. but I demand exact justice from every democrat either in this , convention or throughout the nation. With William J. Bryan and his charge made In the con vention today the issue is proof or re traction.

Does No Good. BALTIMORE, June 30. -With Governor Woodrow Wilson gaining on each ballot and Speaker Clark losing votes for. the presidential nomination, the democratic national . convention at 1105 o'clock last night adjourned until Monday morning at ' 11 o'clock. Twenty-six ballots had been taken since the first call of the states and there was no hope of a nomination to night. It Is against all political prece dent for a national Convention to sit on Sunday, but today was a day of important conferences among the party leaders and a day' ot hard work for the campaign manager! When convention adjourned last night Speaker Clark was hurrying to Baltimore from Washington in response to an urgent call from his campaign director. William Jennings Bryan at the afternoon session had attacked Clark and had said he would vote for no man willing to ac cept nomination at the hands ot "Mur phy ot Tammany hall." -. It was the plan of Mr. Clark to appear before the convention and make answer. In this way his managers hoped to bol ster the falling vote. The ballots today ran from the thir teenth to the twenty-sixth. Wilson began at 366 and ended at 407, a net gain during the day of fifty-one votes. Speaker Clark began at 554H and tell to 463H. a loss of ninety-one votes. Breaks Favor Wilson. The anti-Clark leaders In the conven tion called attention to the fact that this almost exactly offset the ninety votes given Clark by the New York dele gation. Breaks to Governor Wilson were coming from many different delegations as the balloting closed. His managers believed that once " he had overtaken Speaker Clark the switching would be come general. , ; '' ,; , v, . .The Clark forces plan to make a desper ate effort to win back some ot the dele gates lost today and Irv thlB work they probably will have the personal direction jfef-the-seeaker himself., TAflJKUwa. forces meantime expeoi to ngnt, not oniy to hold their gains ot today, hut to Indues more to desert ths other candidates. Senator Stone of Missouri tonight made a motion to eliminate the candidate re ceiving the lowest number of vdtes on each succeeding ballot after the twenty seventh until only one the winner was left In' the race. There was a storm ot objection and the subject was pressed no further. " .' 'v .' ' ' - Harmon . Tries to Aid Clark. The Harmon delegates from Ohio threw their support to Speaker Clark on several ballots, but aid not matonally help him. toward the necessary two-thirds vote be cause of the gradual inroads made by Wilson. They then changed back to Har mon and remained there until the last ballot of the evening. The great bulk of the Massachusetts delegation deserted Clark last night and,. started a Foss boom. It created little excitement. The deadlock confronting the democratlv convention Is the most remarkable itnee ' 1S80, when the republican . convention nominated Garfield on the thirty-fourth' ballot. Having failed to nominate . with the week-end it is not expected the delegates will hurry to a decision on Monday and the fight may be prolonged for several days. The Clark people are still confident that enough of their delegates will remain steadfast to hold the necessary one-third to prevent a nomination. . Many of the delegates were hopeful that an early deci sion might be reached, but the two lead ing candidates were tonight so far short of the votes necessary to nominate, that the problem ahead seemed a most difficult one. .; .

' -Th sixteenth ballot was begun with the hall In disorder. , Idaho caused trou ble again and was passed and at the end of the call demanded a poll ot the dele gation. Five delegates voted for Kern, four for Clark and seven were absent. Each delegate had half a vote.. This made four and one-half votes present and a majority was for Kern. Chairman. James ruled that the '- delegation was controlled by the votes of the delegates present 'and directed that the eight votes be cast two for Clark, three for Kern and two and one-half not voting. - Trouble on the seventeenth ballot was almost Identical with that on the' six- teenth ballot.
