Martin of St. Louis, permanent ser- geant-at-aris, and recommended that II other temporary offices of the con vention be made permanent. ' May Nominate Tonight. While the convention waited, the word went around that the rules com mittee would recommend that the nominations be made tonight. The convention managers and officers of the national committee declared their confidence that the plan would go through. It was welcome news to many of the delegates, who have not relished remaining until Saturday. The plan to adopt the platform after the nominations have been made, as was done in Baltimore four years ago, was counted on to fulfill the promises of the managers to the city of St. Louis for a four-day conven tion. It was exactly 11:46 when Tem porary Chairman ulynn called the convention to order. The delegates, still bubbling over with enthusiasm from his speech of yesterday, gave him a rousing reception. Archbishop fbhn J. Olennon of 5t Louis then offered prayer. Credentials Committee Report The credentials committee then re ported on the delegate contests from Washington, D. C; Porto Rico and Hawaii. 1 he delegates trom the Dis trict of Columbia and Hawaii were recognized as placed on the rollls by the national committee. Porto Rico was divided between the contesting delegates. ihe report of the committee on permanent organization was adopted. The announcement of names of oer- manent convention otticers, Chairman Oilie James, Secretary Kremer and others, were cheered. Delegates Norman E. Mack of New York, Governor S. V. Stewart of Montana and Senator P,.:lan of Call fornia, composed the committee which escorted senator lames to the chair James launched into his prepared speech. It was punctuated by applause. Bryan Applauds Vigorously. Senator James departed widelv from the printed text of his speech, but the sentiment he presented was sub stantially the same. When he re counted the horrors of war and the president's efforts to preserve peace. William. J. Bryan, his face flushed with emotion, rose to his feet and applauded vigorously. Cheer -Diplomatic Success. When Tames recounted in imnlied terms the president's diplomatic suc cess in the negotiations with Ger many, the delegates wanted to hear it again. "Repeat it, they demanded. Tames repeated his statement and the crowd rose up and broke loose with cheers. In repeating the phrase from his prepared speech, the senator said : "Woodrow Wilson, without orphan ing a single child, without widowing a single American mother, without firirig a single gun, without the shed ding of a single drop of blood, wrung from the most militant spirit that ever brooded above a batueneld an agree ment to American demands and a concession of American rights." The band swung into "America' and the "Star Spangled Banner." Hats and flags went into the air. Somebody cried : "Three cheers for Wilson !" The crowd roared the answer. Stanchions were torn from the floor and a march of delegates through the hall was started. The aisles becames choked because the demonstration was begun without organized leader ship. The congestion aided in short ening the demonstration. The band played "The Hot Time" as a march ing tune, while Senator James fanned his florid face. After the demonstration had been running twelve minutes the Kentucky standard was taken to the platform and placed directly behind Mr. James. It was the signal for cheers and a tiger for the speaker, while the band played "Dixie, followed by "The Bat tle Cry ot freedom. The applause had lasted eighteen minutes when Mr. James was able to proceed. wnen Mr. James unisnea mere were more cheers and applause and calls for "Bryan." Senator James appealed to the convention to quiet down and hear the rules committee report, but his efforts were futile until he announced that Mr. Bryan had left the building aid would speak in the Coliseum later. That satisfied the crowd and tney beard the rules report. Nominations This Evening. Chairman Glasgow presented the re port of the committee on rules. It provided among other things that no delegates shall speak more than thirty minutes on any subject; that nomina- : j . i . 1UI1S tur prcsiucni uegm i o p. iu., followed by nominations for vice president.

The motion by Senator Reed car ried and a session for nominations will begin at 9 p. m. tonight. ihe report as amended was adopted. It was not decided whether the platform would be presented before or after nominations. At 12:22 p. m. a recess was ordered until the night session. The motion was out of respect to William F.

It was said that in view of the scarcity of dyestuffs because of the EuroDean war the platform would suggest giv ing that industry a measure of protec tion for about five years.
