sensation when New York’s ninety

the contest case of South Dakota.

Plan el Murphyites
(By Otto Praeger, Staff Correspond-

Baltimore, June 27.—The fiiery
protest of former Governor T. M.
Campbell of Texas, an insurrection-
ist in the committee on permanent
organization, effectively blocked the
plan of the Murphy crowd to "make
the temporary organization with
Judge Parker as chairman and Urey
Woodson as secretary the permanent
organization.

Baltimore, June 27.—The delegates
to the democratic national conven-
tion filed into the convention hall
this morning prepared for a long and
exciting session. A nomination is ex-
pected today, but the delegates are
apparently as much at sea as ever on
who will be the nominee. Boomers
for the various candidates were pre-
pared to start demonstrations, and
this program threatened many de-
lays. All sorts of rumors are afloat
as to deals and combinations, but
none of these seem to have any
trustworthy foundation.
The Wilson supporters are boldly
claiming he will sweep the conven-
tion, and there is, too, renewed talk
of Bryan as a candidate. Some of
the conservatives were quoted as
Ollie James Elected
Permanent Chairman

BALTIMORE, JUNE 27.—OLLIE JAMES WAS ELECTED PERMANENT
CHAIRMAN. AND IN DISCUSSING THE TARIFF IN A SPEECH BE-
FORE THE CONVENTION, SAID IN PART: “WHEN THE VETO OF

Ollie James of Kentucky for the per-

Urey Woodson as secretary of the
convention by a roll call vote of 24
to 14.
Among the assistant ‘ secretaries
which the committee selected is
Clifford G. Beekhaip of Fort Worth.
-The foundation for this overturn-
ing of the plans of the Murphy-Cl’ark
forces to turn the permanent organ-
ization over to the same forces that
had forced the temporary organiza-
tion, wasHaid Tuesday night imme-
diate!)* upon adjournment of
committee, which had agreed to
meet again yesterday morning. Dur-
ing the meeting Governor Campbell
was sQunded as to whether he would
stand for making the temporary or-
ganization the permanent one. His
answer was brief, but it was of such
a character that the reactionaries
lost* further interest in Mr. Camp-
bell’s views in the matter.
But upon adjournment of the com-
mittee he noticed that about half of
the committee lingered behind and
engaged in confidential talks, so Gov-'
eror Campbell ligered also... He saw
that the process of sounding out was ;
fight for the fourth time.
