MULTITUDE VIEWS THE SIGHT Twenty Bands Flay Patriotic Music All Along the Line While Thousands Sing. SUSPEND BUSINESS OF CITY The greatest parade, in point of numbers, that Omaha ever saw was the Flag day parade yesterday after noon. Nearly 30,000 men and women were in Jine. Thirty thousand school children were grouped on the court house lawn, the postoffice steps and other places, singing songs and waving flags. A numberless crowd thronged the streets all along the twenty-six blocks that constituted i he line of march. The windows of the buildings had their crowds and men peered down over the edges of the roofs. And such a parade! River of Flowing Flags. Viewed over the crowd it seemed to be a river of flags flowing between banks of human heads. Here and there came big flags borne by men, silken, gold fringed banners, topped by golden battle-eagles. Other big flags were borne jn horizontal posi tion by fair young women. But chiefly they were smaller, of size convenient for the hand. These constituted the great river of flags. Often a ripple would occur in the river, as when one of the school chil dren armies would burst into patri otic song. Cheers were continuous. The music of twenty bands, sound ing the well known patriotic tunes, made gay the marching army as it swung along the streets. The weather was perfect. Bright sunshine with a cool breeze from the west, just strong enough for comfort and to give a brave ripple to a million flags. Just in the middle of the pa- rade a big, black, threatening cloud came up in the west. But when it saw that a patriotic parade was io progress it quickly made off again to the south, refusing to attempt to spoil such a fair spectacle. Business Is-Suspended. . Practically all business in the city was suspended and employer and em ploye, and employee (feminine gen der), marched side by side in true democratic ' style Mayor Dahlman and the city fathers headed the pa rade. Presidents of the big mercan tile and jobbing enterprises of the city trudged along on foot beside their clerks, department heads and stenographers. Professional men were there. A company of trained nurses in their white caps and uni forms were among the thousands of fair marchers. Various lodges, the railroads, the stock yards, clubs, schools and so on were in line.

Scheduled to start from Twenty-fourth and Farnam. streets at 2:30 p. m, it started right at that time. It kept moving, too. Sixteen Abreast. Sixteen abreast, the men and wom ?n marched, with close ranks and at i brisk step. The marchers passed at the rate of about 380 a minute. The parade took an hour to pass. The route was from Twenty-fourth and Farnam to Sixteenth, to Capitol avenue, to Fifteenth, to Douglas, to Thirteenth, to Farnam, to Fifteenth, to Harney, to Sixteenth, to Leaven worth. Everybody in the parade walked, excepting only the Grand Army of the Republic contingent. These gray haired veterans of the flag in the Civil war rode in automobiles with their wives. Their spirits, indeed. were willing to walk, but their "flesh" is weak. But they waved their flags as vigorously as anybody from their Flag-decked vehicles. The one thing in the way of a "fea ture" in the parade was a group of three men dressed to represent the famous "Spirit of 76" painting, sorely (Continued on Page 2, Column 1.)

PLENTY OF FLAGS IN SIGHT Coliseum Makes Pretty Show When Multitude Waves Old Glory in Its Applause, PRESIDENT'S PICTURE LACKING BY E. C. SNYDER. St. Louis, Mo., June 14. (Special Telegram.) The keynote speech of 1916, so far as democracy is con cerned, has been delivered. Former Governor Martin Glynn of New York is some keynoter, you can take it from me. There was one thing about the speech that impressed me pro foundly and that, was that at least President Wilson would be nomin ated. That one thing stood out pre dominantly and commanded the en tire situation. Of coarse, there were other features in Governor Glynn's address, particu larly with reference to the glory that was big enough to go around. In fact, there was glory enough to go around several times, to go around the nation, or the world, for that matter. Campaigners in the country districts will be able to carve out whole sections of the keynote and spread several layers of it over the surrounding country and then go back again and find an inexhaustible sup ply of good carboniferous fuel left. Measured in Long Tons. . If the coal supply of this continent was as deep and broad and wide and long as (jovernor uiynn s Keynote, the geologists would hasten to cast their estimates that the Pennsylvania coal fields are good for a million cars a year. No one imagined that Mr. Glynn, who is slightly built, could sound a keynote that would last most of the afternoon. The keynote showed that this campaign is going to be fought out with an inexhaustible supply of words; and that after the keynote, when the diapason of the full-toned political organs of the country begin to rumble, the dome of reason will begin to totter. Don't forget, however, that there will be forty-eight speeches to second the nomination of President Wilson. Flags in Evidence. Of course the convention's opening was a irreat iovfest for democracy, andwhooping big time for the demo crats wno nave come nere unuiviucu for their president and glad tb be" given a chance to let loose. ine city ot ot. louis, or me con vention managers, or some one saw to it that the American nag snouia be in evidence. Boy Scouts with great sheaves of flags went tnrougn tne convention, early, giving a flag to ev- erv man and woman there, so tnat when a cheer started, there would be a sea of waving nags, and it was a most beautiful sight indeed 01 our flag's natal day. There were flags in the galleries and bunting hung from every niche and corner and projec tion, and the inevitable convention band, seated in a sort of bird cage hifrh ud at one end. played merrily on all kinds of wind instruments capable of producing martial airs. No Portrait of Wilson. There is but one thing missing in convention hall, and that oddly enough is a picture of the president. Nowhere is there a portrait of democ racy's leader. There are several fine plaster medallions of Grovcr Cleve- and. George Washington, 1 nomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, but none ot VVoodrow vvnson. A round of the various headauartcrs fails to disclose a single Wilson portrait, with one notable exception, and that is, strangely enough, the Tammany headouarters. This is quite possibly due to the fact that in many instances portraits, dodgers, buttons and badges are brought to the convention by the manufacturers ot the commodities. At this convention, there being no contest for anything except the vice presidency, there is no great neces sity for buttons, badges and pictures of the leader. In the national committee head quarters there is a large box full of Wilson buttons with the slogan, "America First." A man on the out side of the hotel is selling buttons marked "Safety First." Take your choice. O'Keefe True to Traditions. While the clans were assembling in the hall, and a mighty fine hall it is, too, a fine old Irish gentleman, whose name is Patrick O'Keefe, and whose long residence in the state of Texas has not taken away from him any of the Gaelic attributes which he brought with him from the Emerald Isle, amused the crowd with an elabo rate Irish reel. As the band played, Mr. O'Keefe, who admits to at least 65, astonished everyone by leaping over a four-foot barrier and dancing like a 16-year-old. He spun around on one foot and then jumped up and cracked his heels together and shout ed. He did this three separate times. His enthusiasm could not be con tained. He endeavored to keep it within himsel', but while Bishop James W. Lee of the Methodist Epis copal church, South, was reciting the words of an opening prayer, the spirit within Patrick O'Keefe burst forth, and he yelled at the top of his lungs: "Go to it, old boy, you said something then !" Had it not been in the midst of a prayer it is likely that the Coliseum would have exploded with laughter, for everyone was in an explosive mood, Bishop of Cork is Dead. Cork, Ireland, June 14. The most Rev. Thomas O'Callaghan, Roman Catholic bishop of Cork, died this morning. He was born in Cork in 18,79 and educated at Minerva collcce. Rome, and was appointed bishop of Corn in 1880. PRESIDENT FLAYS HYPHENATES WHO ARE FIGHTING HIM Wilson Charges Foreign-Born Citi zens of United States Are Try ing to Levy Political Blackmail. AT THE HEAD OF THE WOMEN'S SECTION Mrs. Charles T. Kountze, Mrs. Warren Roger and Mrs. Z. T. Lindsey, while behind them most of Omaha's social leaders walked in the great Flag Day parade. DISLOYALTY MUST BE CRUSHED'.? ,e v Chief's Flag Day Speech Sro- Keynote of Issue He W"-M r Make Predentin?-1 V TALKS TO MA1T-" .' sf'jSANDS Washington, mv. A charge that foreign-born citizens of the United States are trying to levy po litical blackmail and to undermine the influence of the national government was made by President Wilson in a flag speech today. His assertion sounded the keynote of one of the foremost issues on which he will go before the country for re-election, and touched upon a platform declara tion which will be submitted by the administration to the St. Louis con vention. The president spoke before a crowd of thousand gathered at the foot of the Washington monument, fter he had reviewed for five hours a great preparedness parade, at the head of which he himself had marched down Pennsylvania avenue. He de clared that not since the civil war had it been tested as it now is being tested whether the Stars and Stripes stood for any one united purpose. Disloyalty Active. "There is disloyalty active in the United States, and it must be abso lutely crushed," declared the presi dent, speaking emphatically. "It pro ceeds from a minority, a very small minority, but a very active and subtle minority. "It works under ground, but it also shows its ugly head where we can see it; and there are those at this moment who are trying to levy a species of political blackmail, saying, 'Do what we wish in the interest of foreign sentiment or we will wreak our vengeance at the polls.' That is the sort of thing against which the American nation will turn with a mighty triumph of sentiment which will teach these gentlemen once for all that loyalty to this flag is the first test of tolerance in the United States." Outlines Predominant Issue. The president' words were taken as an open -challenge to' foreign-born Americans, who, he had learned from foreign-language newspapers and other sources, are opposing him for re-election. Officials close to him said lie was outlining his stand on what he had determined to make a predominant issue in his campaign. While the democratic convention was being opened at St. Louis Mr. Wilson devoted the entire day to the flag day and preparedness demonstra tion. Carrying a large American flag he walked from the capitol to the White House at the head of more than 50,000 marchers, including many high government officials, employes of all the government departments and of the capital's business houses, companies of cadets, national guards men, union and confederate veterans and members of commercial and so cial organizations. Goes to Reviewing Stand. The parade started from the capi tol grounds, and as its head passed the White House the president dropped out and took his place in the reviewnig stand. He was joined there by Secretaries McAdoo, Red field, Lane and Wilson, Postmaster General Burleson and Attorney Gen eral Gregory, who had marched at the head of employes of their depart ments, and by Secretary Lansing. As soon as the last marchers passed the stand, five hours later, the president went to the monument grounds, where his address formed the principal part of an hour's patriotic audience. Almost every man and woman in the president's audience carried an American flag. Before he began speaking cannon fired a national salute of twenty-one guns and the marine band played "The Star Spangled Banner" while a huge flag was drawn slowly to the top of the white monument, 555 feet above the ground. Lansing Presides. Secretary Lansing presided, and in introducing' the president emphasized the duty of present-day Amreicans to preserve unsullied ideals handed down by the founders of the re public. Speaking of disloyalty in the United States, the president said: "It prpceeds from a minority, a very small minority, but an active and subtle minority, working under ground, but also snowing its ugly head where it may be seen, and it , this minority that at this very moment is striving to levy a kind of political blackmail or wreak its vengeance at the polls. That is the sort of thing against which the American people will turn. That is the lesson which I come to remind you of today.'' Flag Day Exercises At Betsy Ross House Philadelphia, June 14. Speaking at the Flag day exercises at the Betsy Ross house here today, Dr. C. J. Hexamer, president of the National German-American alliance, declared that true Americanism knows no dis tinction of race or creed and does not take sides with any foreign nation. "True Americanism," l,e said, "de mands a true neutrality, solely for the defense of American rights and in the best interest of the United States against any aggression from whichever side it may come. It fol lows faithfully and loyally where our flag leads." VJJNi t.-nrTi: . in. r irT NEBRASKA DEMOS SELECT THOMAS Compromise Eeached Over Member of Resolutions Committee After Three Days' Wrangle. OLDHAM IS NAMED CHAIRMAN St. Louis, Mo., June 14. After three days caucusing the Bryan and anti-Bryan factions of the Nebraska delegation compromised today and elected J. J. Thomas of Seward, Neb., member of the platform committee. Thomas, though elected on a Bryan ticket at the primaries, was referred to by the anti-Bryan faction as a sympathizer of their cause. W. D. Oldham, the anti-Bryan can didate for platform committee, was named chairman of the delegation in pursuance of the compromise agree ment and W. H. Thompson, the Bry an candidate for platform committee, was named in the committee to no tify the president of his renomina tion. C. M. Skiles was elected secre tary of the" delegation. Herbert E. Gooch-member of committee; to no tify the vice president and W. F. Moran member of committee on cre dentials. Reply to Carranza Will Rebuke Him For Tone of Note Washington, June 14. The United States answer to the last note from General Carranza probably will not be made until after the St. Louis con vention ends this week, it was said in administration circles today. The de lay was considered advisable t elim inat chance that any action toward Mexico at this time might be inter preted as prompted by political in fluences. That course has been laid out par ticularly in view of Carranza's strong intimations that the the United States' dealings with Mexico have been determined by questions of in ternal politics in this country. The answer which Secretary Lans ing is preparing will rebuke General Carranza sharply for that insinuation, it is said. Administration officials are still visibly worried over the possibility of serious anti-American outbreaks in Mexico, but they are determined to take the initiative in any aggressive action. Newly Elected Officers of Rotary Club Installed The newly elected officers of the Omaha Rotary club were installed at the weekly meeting and luncheon this noon at the Hcnshaw rathskellar. The new officers arc: Dr. E. C. Henry, president; W. H. Clarke, first vice president; John Mellen, second vice president; Dan Johnson, secretary; W. G. Silver, treasurer. The last two were re-elected. Speeches made by the new officers and Harlcy Moorhead, past president, who presided as chairman, told of what it means to be a Rotarian, re viewed the past activities of the or ganization and planned for the future. Harley Moorhead pointed out that the meeting this week was of par ticular significance because of Flag day. Following the luncheon the Rotary club members marched in the parade. Frank F. Drcxel, a new member, was introduced. Sheriff Cole and Bert Whitcomb to Recover in Time Hastings, Neb., June 14. (Special Telegram) Both Sheriff Cole and Bert Whitcomb, wounded in a pistol duel Monday when Cole attempted to enforce a writ of ejectment against the latter arc now expected to recover. Whitcomb will be prose cuted on the charge of assault with intent to kill. Following his attack on Cole, inflicting a wound which necessitated the amputation of one of the sheriff's Jegs, he complained of his poor marksmanship and threat ened to do a better job later on. Wilson Vetoes Plank Aimed at Judges Washington, June 14. Efforts to insert a plank in the democratic plat form favoring a law to prohibit fed eral judges from leaving the bench to accept elective offices, will not be countenanced by President Wilson. Administration officials let it be known that the president had sent word to St. Louis that he did not want any petty politics played. CHAIRMAN M'COMBS CALLSJOR ORDER Head of Democratic National Com mittee Says Convention Meets in Atmdsphere of Viotory, TAKES SHOT AT ROOSEVELT St. Louis, Mo., June 14. In calling the democratic national convention to order at noon today Chairman Wil liam F. McCombs of the democratic national committee, spoke as follows: "Ladies and Qentlemen of the Con; '"vention: '' ' . . "We are in an atmosphere of vic tory. We have not a feeling of guess, but a spirit of certainty. We meet to celebrate the marvelous achievements of the democratic party since it came into power and to place a milestone upon the path of its future success. "Over 2,000 years ago, an old slave related the fable of the frog who wanted to grow to the size of an ele phant. Such was the ambition of his soul that his body was swelled to a marvelous proportion. Indeed, Aesop went so far as to predict that the frog, upon reaching the size of the ele phant, would burst, i commend to your notice the wisdom of Aesop. It took over 2,000 years for his prophecy to come true. Only last week the frog-elephant or the elephant-frog exploded. Republicans Deceive Themselves. "The republican party for years succeeded in deceiving the country. Now it is successfully deceiving it self. In its platform it offers pul chritudinous promise but with vacu ous intent. It promises the country in the main, what the democratic party has already done or is in the process of doing, saving always, the bogus god protection. "It has cloaked its iniquity with a judicial robe, but the cloven hoof of special interests still protrudes. The board of directors has aat In Chicago and again is resolved that they are the country. They have adopted the doctrine of foreordination and pre destination, but have made it applica ble only to themselves. "The rest of the people arc their wards for profit. "Ambition is a noble attribute, btu when it is adulterated with greed, a cataclysm is inevitable. We have recently witnessed the painful specta cle of two great American parties at Chicago, putting self in place of ideals; self-glorification in place of national honor; republicanism and progressivcisin, so-called, in place of our only 'ism' Americanism. "Wt have witnessed the drah spec tacle of two groups of men, trading principles like competitors in a fish market, in the hope that some com promise would win public support. They have not come together they have fallen out over the 'swag.' For the sake of victory, many of these men, essentially opposite in principle, have been willing to become friends with false masks. The result is in evitable, 'divided they fall.' We are proud in the thought that 'united we stand.' We welcome the pent-up Americanism of the progressives, in dividually, to our ranks, offering them a haven, in a principle. Their leader has abandoned them with crass cruelty. Shot for Roosevelt. "The gentleman from Oyster Bay, in a recent letter to Chicago quoted Abraham Lincoln as saying, 'May not all, having a common interest reunite in a common effort to save our com mon country?' Ladies and Gentle men, I beg to call your attention to the word 'reunite I' The words 'save the country' have been the disguise of the opposition for years. There may be a political war today in this coun try, but that war only exists between faction. Why, did the gentleman quote the words of Lincoln in the St. Louis, June 14. With the asser tion that no president since the civil war has had as crucial problems to solve; and no president has displayed a grasp more sure, a statesmanship more profound, as President Wilson, Kon. Martin H. Glynn, former gover nor of New York, opened the demO' cratic national convention here today. Declaring that Americanism and peace, preparedness and prosperity, are the issues upon which the demo cratic party stands, and the heart of democracy swells with pride that is more than a pride of party, as it hails the man who has asserted this Amer icanism, assured this peace, advocated this preparedness and produced this prosperity, he predicted the re-clec tion of President Wilson. Taking un our foreimi relations that has been called into emphatic promi nence by the world-wide war, the speaker declared that "We have en tered this hall as democrats; we (hall deliberate as Americans. The policy of neutrality, he argued, is as truly American as the American flag. For 200 years neutrality was a theory; America made it a tact. "In his policy of peaceful negotia tions today the president of the Uni ted States follows the example set him by the greatest presidents which (Continued on Page 2, Column 3.)

United States Senator Reed Smoot of Utah on his return to Sa': Lake from the Chicago convention last night an nounced that he had been offered the chairmanship of the republican na tional committee and had declined the honor. Senator Smoot said he would be so taken up with the work in con gress that he could not devote the time to the direction of the campaign. As a member of a subcommittee of the national committee, Mr. Smoot will leave in day or two for New York to attend a conference called by Murray Crane for the purpose of naming a chairman ot the national committee.

When Bryan Says He Will Not Press Planks. GLYNN PRAISES THE PRESIDENT Coliseum, St. Louis ,Mo., June 14.-J With the keynote of "mericanism and peace, preparedness and prosper ity, the democratic national conven tion began its first session shortly after noon today with not a single element in sight to disturb the har monious renomination of President' Wilson and Vice President Marshall. When National Chairmaif Mc Combs called the convention to order 12,000 delegates, alternates and spec tators packed the big coliseum to the roof. Members of the national commit tee, members of President Wilson's cabinet and party leaders from all over the country had places on the platform. Plaster medallions of Washington, Jackson, Jefferson and Cleveland looked down upon the dele gates from the decorations, which consisted uniformly of nothing but the American flag. The only pic ture of President Wilson in the halt hung in front of the speakers' desk inscribed "American First." Vice presidential booms wilted by President Wilson's direct word that he desired the renomination of Vice President Marshall, were brought to the -invention hall, but only as fa vorite son compliments. Kremer Reads the Call. When National Chairman Mc Combs had called the convention to order the next business was the read ing of the call by Secretary J, Bruce Kremer. Former Governor Glynn of New York was next with the keynote speech. Down under the speaker's stand di rect telephone and telegraph wires to the White House carried momentary reports of the proceedings in the hall. All prospects of a fight in the convention had gone glimmering over night withWiuiam L Bryatvi, an nouncement that he did not propose to press certain planks before the resolutions committee and that he would make' campaign speeches for the democratic nominee. "We have entered this hall as democrats; let us deliberate as Americans," declared Mr. Glynn in sounding the keynote. "It is the business of this conven tion, representing every section of the United States, speaking for every ra cial strain in America to send forth a message to all the world that will leave no room for doubt." , . Wilson Keeps the Peace, Reviewing President Wilson's con duct of foreign affairs, he declared the president had stood with Wash ington, Adams and Grant, who had preserved peace with honor. "For vain glory or for selfish pur pose," Mr. Glynn declared, "others may cry for a policy of blood and iron, but the president has acted on the belief that the leader of a nation who plunges his people into an un necessary war, like Pontius Pilate, vainly washes his hands of innocent blood, while the earthquakes and the heavens are darkened and thousands give up the ghost. "If Washington was right, if Jef ferson was right, if Hamilton was right, then the president is right to day," he declared. Delegate! Arrive Late. At 11:20 o'clock, forty minutes be fore time for the convention to be Decatur Bank Hits Guaranty Fund Blow (From Huff f orreipondsnt.) ' Lincoln, Neb., June 14.( Special Telegram) According to a report filed this afternoon with Secretary Roysc of the. State Banking board by Bank Examiner T. R. Kelly, who has been in Jiarge of the Decatur State bank since its trouble, $.55,432 in notes, given hy Indians, and $39, 438 in paper where the value is ques tionable, is in the bank. The exam iner has found $12,356 which he knows is no good. An estimate would make the loss of the bank in the neighborhood of $50,000, but the state guaranty fund will probably have to be called upon for a larger amount, a part of which will eventually be returned. There was about $16,000 in cash on hand when the bank went broke and the examiner has collected $2, 000 more. There is $1,100,000 at the present time in the state guaranty fund, and the coming assessment will add about $50,000. Battle on Baltic Near Hovringe London, June 14. A Reuter dis patch from Nykoping, Sweden, gives a report of a naval engagement in the Baltic between midnight "and 1 o'clock this morning at a point near Hovringe. It is supposed that six German armed trawlers, which were seen going northward last night, were engaged. Two hundred shots were heard. The fight lasted for forty-five min utes. A German trawler with five wounded men entered Nykoping this morning. All information was refused. (Continued on Page 4, Column 3.)
