A wealth of decorations in white and gold, and the national colors greeted the early arrivals on the scene of the democratic national convention. The big hall, ordinarily a steel beamed brick walled armory was transformed by thousands of yards of bunting, the ugly steel girders under the roof, were hidden by a false ceiling of light net- ting. From the galleries hung the banners of the various states, terri- tories and Shsiilar possessions. The crowd came slowly.and when the band Degan to play at 11 o'clock the galler- fes and guests sections surrounding the delegates floor held but a sacred few. The delegates as usual on the open- ing day of the convention were slow in making tWelr appearance. A pour- ing rain and a scarcity of vehicles made progress from headquarters and hotels to the armory a somewhat ser- ious problem. Everyone was expecting a great demonstration when Mr, Bryan ap- peared in the hall and was quiet in anticipation when, word came to the convention that Mr. Bryan was con- tinuing his. conferences. right up to the hour of opening. The committee in charge of the con- vention- arrangements. had given. the most prominent places on the floor to the states having avowed presidential candidates in the field. * To the right of the main aisle and directly in front of the stage was Mis- souri, the home state of Speaker Champ Clark. To the left was New. Jersey, with Woodrow Wilson as a favorite son. Back of Missouri came Ohio with Gov. Harmon in the field. Back of New Jersey was Alabama, the home of Representative Underwood. North Dakota, nominating Gov. Burke of that State, was no more fa orably-located than Indiana, both bi ing in fourth and fifth positions from the front, At 11.35 it was discovered that the slow arrival of delegates was due in part to the Close scrutiny of the tickets and credentials by the door Keepers, a long line of delegates and others being held up outside the building. Senator John Sharp Wil- liams of Mississippi, had a great deal of difficulty in getting in. The first cheer of the convention went to Gov, Wilson, As the dele- gates seats began to fill up, a stand- ard bearer marched up the centre aisle carrying a big white silk ban- ner, bearing a gold fone star, and the inscription Grand Old Texas. For forty votes for Woodrow Wilson, th Peoples choice. As the banner ap- peared a cheer swept the scattered crowds in the galleries, The dele- Bates then on the floor - did little cheering. Cardinal Gibbons who was to make the opening prayer, entered the hall at 1145 accompanied by Chairman Robert Kern of, the local committee on arrangements, and proceeded by a squad of policemen the Cardinal in his red robes made a picturesque fig- ure amongst the soberly clad who wore rainy day clothing. He was cheered and if made his way to the stage. The hall was filling rapidly. There was a spreading murmur of excite- ment as word came that Maggprran hod started from his hotel*for the convention. A short time later a Con- neotieut delegate entered the hall with his big blue banner inscribed Choice for President, Simon J..Bald- win. No Applause, Baldwin banner. The California delegation in a large Champ Clark banner. Scattered cheers kreeted its appear ance. vention by slipping in without any- it 1 shook hands cordially with Gibbons. 1 am very Slad indeed to meet you, he sald, and)am sorry not to have met you before. The Nebraskan then slipped into a seat well secluded from the gaze of the crowd. The delegates at this time were in great comfusi n in finding thelr seats-and- apparently were-not concerning themselves with Mr. Bryan or anyone else. 5 At 12.08 o clock Mr. Mack arrived and climbed the staffs leading to the platform, A few delegates Who went to speak to Mr, Bryan found him somewhat nervous and irritable. He confirmed his intention of mOMinating Senator John W. Kern of Indiana as candi- date for temporary chairman in op- position to Judge Parker, the choice of the national iMittee. His aides at this time were claiming victory. . lt;i At 12.10 Cardinal Gibbons took his place at the chalriian s back. Chas. R. Cripp, parliamentary man of the house of representatives, took a seat near Mr. Mack, He was to act as parliamentary advisor to the chalr- man. Representative Robert M. Hen- ry of Texas, chairman of the house fardinal to the stage and Comversed for a mo-. ment with Mr. Henry Bryan, who ted the Bryan. supporters in the house was expected to lend his influence to the Nebraskan in the convention. Up to that time, Chairman Murphy, Alton B. Parker, Senator Ogorman and sevarl other fervative leaders were still absent. There .was one barp contrast in the convention ingements be- tween here and at(Chicago. At the republican convent the hall fairly swarmed with blue-poated policemen, a cordon of them being always at the front of the stage, Jn the hall today to find a Cop was like searching for the proverbial needle in the haystack. at 12.16 with the gmmouncement convention will be in order. he Sergeantsat lt;Arms will clear the aisles. ee Confusion followed as the official endeavored to get-the delegates and spectators into thelr; Seats. A moment after, Chairman Maek:began pounding for order. Judge Parker accompanied by Judge Morgan andiJ. A. O'Brien of New York, appeared) making their way up the wrong iisle in search gpf. the New York delegition. A cry of Parker, Parker, came from the galleries, but the former leandidate was not generally recos- nized. i Tom Taggart arrived and place on the.stage. Delegates late in getting by the door-keepers, caused much confusion on the floor and delayed the beginning ot the proteedings. Mr, Bryan received word that In- diana, Senator Kern s'home state, had decided by a big mafority to support Judge Parker and thus back up the national committee. The news was taken by many of the delegates to mean defeat for the Nebraskan in his first great fight of the convention. Mr. Bryan appeared not to be dis- turbed, As the Sergeant-at-Arms en- deavored in vain to subdve the con- fasion, an excited disheveled individ- ual forced his way to the front of the hall and yelled: Tell Chairman Mack there are 150 delegates in line outside who cannot get in. Again the con- vention was delayed to allow the del- egates to get into the hall. i Delegate Plaitt of New Jersey forc- ed his way through the crowd carry- ing a big bunch of bananas. He dis- tributed the fruit among the New Jersey delegates, Just exercising a Little foresight, he commented. We don t intend to starve if this session id, At 12.53 another attempt was made for order. There was a semblance, of quiet and Chairman Mack decided on reading the call for convention. It Was read by Thomas F, Smith, Secre- tary of Tammany Hall, New York. The aisles were still pretty. well crowded up but the delegates were good natured about.t and endeavored to help. After the call had been read Chair- man Mack introduced Cardinal Gib- ons for the invocation.

MEDICINE. HAT, ALBERTA, CANADA, TUESDAY. JUNE 25, 1912 was a remarkable demonstration as the Cardintal concluded. There was a scattering applause and then a reat wave of hand-clapping and cheering. As the demonstration sub- sided, Senator Kern, Bryan's candi- date for temporary chsirman, enter- ed the hall. In a moment one of the galleries behind the platform started -eheer-for-Bryan,- Bryan, Bryan, they shouted,+and disorder broke loose again. Mack pounded his gav- el in vain for several minutes and finally secured enough quiet to pro: ceed. Chairman Mack dire. ted the an- nouncement of the temporary organ- ization and Assistant Secretary Smith began to read. Temporary Chairman Allen B. Park- er of New York. He was interrupted by a cheer. The band started. Ob, you Neautiful doll. The secretary then proceeded with the announce- ment of the other officers. As the fist was concluded Mr. Bryan stepped forward. The crowd caught sight of him for the first time and there was a storm of cheering. Mr. Bryan, shook his head, held up his hand and made other attempts to quiet the outburst. Other bands began to play. Mr. Bryan sat down, fanning himself ner- band stopped and Mr. Bryan motion- ed for silence. The crowd yelled Hurrah for two minutes, The bal- cones were the last to subside. Gen- tlemen of the convention, I rise to place in nomination for temporary chairman of the convention the name of John W. Kern of Indiana. A cheer greeted the announcement.

The old national committee chosen by-the politician four years ago made up a temporary roll including some fraudalent delegates. This fraudulent temporary roll in turn chose a fraudu- lent credential-committee and all the fraudulent. del gates voting on each others cases thereby made up a per- manent roll which constituted the fraudulent convention. This fraudu- lent convention chose a new and not less fraudulent national committee. The vicious circle must be broken.
