The men in charge of the various candidates are doing all in their power, however, to create notse and enthusl- asm for thelr principals. In contrast to the methods of the Chicago conven- tion the statements put out merely ex- tol the respective candidates without casting aspersions on the others. The principal campaigning is in the way of distributing copies of the ‘“Houn' Dawg Song,” hat bands stamped with their candidates names, banners, post- ers and all manner of contrivances. Song clubs have been imported to sing of the famous “Ozark Hound"—the Battle Cry of the Clark forces—while others are rendering selections, more or less meritorious, extoiling the vir- tues of Wilson, Bryan and other can- didates. There are plenty of bands and marching clubs in town, too, and in many of its aspects and spectacular ,the convention resembles some of the old time political gather- ings Good -nature Is everywhere ap- parent.

The Marshall for President club,” reached Baltimore this afternoon, ~equipped with a band. Attached fo the hats of the 200 or more marchers were paper roosters. For a time Governor Marshail's candidacy held the undivid- ed attention of the crowds on the street and in the hotel lobbies. Gaynor Clubs Enthuse. The New York Gaynor clubs and the Italtan Gaynor Club of New York ar- | rived with big delegations today and | were met by the Marviand Gaynor | club. The combination has head- | quarters, bands and parades, to boost | the candidacy of the New York mayor | notwithstanding the fact that there is vet no certainty that his name will | be presented. Burke a Typical Dark Horse. Governor Burke of North Dakota, who 1s to recelve ten votes from that state on the first ballot, has thus far figured but little in the convention ac tvities. He is more nearly the ty- pical “dark horse” than the other can- | didates in the “second line” whose | friends are sparing no device of ad- | ertising to emblazen their virtues to the world. | WILSON'S ATTITUDE.

Baltimore, June 24—The Birming- ham, Ala., contingent, composed most- ly of members of the Underwood Marching club, brought as a mascot a bantam rooster known as “Punch.” When the delegation stopped at Wash- | ington to greet Mr. Underwood, they | formed a ring and threw their hats into it. “Punch” madly excited, broke | from his custodian, flew about ten feet in_the air and came down on the pile of hats. Then he crowed till perfectly satisfied. Former Governor Folk of Missouri, was busy shaking hands in the hotel corridors today. “It would be suicide for the democratic party to select as temporary chairman any man of re actionary tendency,” he said. “On a straight progressive proposition we can win next November.” Mrs. Willlam Jennings Bryan and her daughter, Mrs. R.

The minstrel was J. H | Mering, treasurer of the Bryan league | of Pennsylvania and he lifted his voice in song in the hall just outside Mr. Bryan's room. The chorus of the dl ran: d kinda-like to_vote for Bryan— ‘Willlam Jennings Bryan; I'd kinda- like to vote for Bryan, and that's just what I'll do.” VICTORY FOR BRYAN.

Baltimore, June 24—William Jen- nings Bryan and United Senator Hitchcock, both members of the Ne- braska delegation and formerly inti- mate friends and political allies, cross- ed swords in a meeting of the state delegation tonight.

Buffalo, N, Y., June 24—Every hour today added to the toll of dead taken 100 persons into the Niagara river. The semi-darkness, the ten-mile cur- | rent of the river at that point, the confusion anf swiftness of it all served to cover up for a time the full extent of the catastrophe. Up to nightfall 17 bodles had been recoverea and ident! fied, and there was a list of 11 more who were known to have been at the park and who had not yet been ac- | counted for, No Dock Inspection. The accident has brought out strik- ingly the entire absence of dock inspec- tion, The federal authorities deny any | responsibility in this respect, stating that their duty ends with steamboat | inspection. There is no county official | charged with the responsibility of see- ing that the docks at-river docks are in proper condition. Dead Will Reach 20 at Least. In the terror and confusion of the accident families became separated, and there is a faint hope that some of these listed as missing may be found. | There is little doubt, however, but that the list of dead will at least reach 20. Saw Family Swept Away. George Richmeyer, who lost his wife and ten year old son, saw them swept lear of the wreckage by the current that moves past the dock at the rate of ten miles an hour and carried away in the gathering twilight. He was| clinging to a spile,” holding his infant | son In his arms, and could no nothing to save the other members of his fam- ily, George McKee, who also Jost his wife and infant son, saw them go down in the mass of struggling people and they 1id not reappear. Many others, it is feared, were swept away, and, until a careful canvass is made of the city, the exact number of dead will not be known. Planks Were -Rotten, The settion of the dock which gave woy, precipitating the crowd of men, women and children into the river, was about §0 feet In length and 25 feet In width. The medical examiner who examined the wreckage at dawn | found that many of the broken planks were rotten and that directly beneath the collapsed portion of the structure there were no supporting spiles. The platform of two-inch planks rested on | | | | i of the dock, and many of these showed signs of decay. Boats Search for Bodies. Boats were sent down the river from | le park early today to recover bod- es. A mile below the landing there is a reef running several hundred feet out into the river, which, with a shore swing of the ourrent, forms a natural basin, and into this it is believed that e bodies will be carried.

A Committes Representing the Grover counter Worrisome Proble: Cleveland, O., June 24.—A new parly from the ground up is the Roosevelt programme. After a series of fiscu slons with his lieutenants today before leaving Chicago, in which there were several sharp clashes, Colonel Roose- velt decided to cut entirely away from the party with which his whole public career has been identified. His decision was a disappointment to those Who favored the organization of what might be considered an independent republican party with which various state organizations might co-operals and still maintain nominal reru\zrll,\'.‘ To Communicate With Democrats. “There must be no compromise, no straddle,” Colonel Roosevelt said. As an indication of his determination he gaid that when he returned to Oys- ter Bay he would communicate with a number of democrats who, he thought, might wish to join the new party. Receiving Offers of Support. When he had left Chicago, with the first plans completed and his leaders scitrering to all parts of the country Colonel Roosevelt expressed himself pleased with the outcome of conver tion week, although it was unexpected to him. He said the way in which his action had been received was encour- aging and that he had a mass of let- ters and telegrams from all parts of the country from both democrats and republicans offering support Could Have Had Nomination. s The republican nomination for presi- dent, Colonel Roosevelt asserted tc night, was his for the asking on the day that President Taft was renomi- nated. He declined to accept it, he said, on the terms under which the offer was made. On his way back to Oyster Bay the former president gave a glimpse into the secret history of the last day of the convention when it was apparent that the tide of battle had turned re- sistlessly against him. It was a plan to selze control of the convention at the last moment by a sudden. move, overturn the Taft majority and make Roosevelt the nominee Offered the Nomination. This is the story as he told it 5 “Early Saturday mornin ga group of delegates from southern states ar ranged a private interview with Col- onel Roosevelt They told him they had come to offer him the nomination.
