A delegate, shouting at the top of his lungs, demanded that Bryan rec- ognize him. “How can you stand there and in- @orse a man who accepted money interests In the greatest scandal that has been exposed?” he demanded. The convention was in a turmoil. Bryan beat upon the speaker's table and pleaded for order. OUTCRY FAILS TO bur “I have made speeches for a long time,” he cried at the top of his voice, “and I do not make state- ments unless I am ready to answer questions. Just be quiet and I'll answer your questions.” “Oh, no, get out,” came answering crios. Ed Moore, head of the Ohio dele- gation, jumped to his’ feet and yelled: “Go ahead, name who you think it should be. We know.” There were many cries from the floor that Bryan thought he was the man himself. “What's the matter with Smith?” came a cry. “Give me time to develop my subject in my own way,” Bryan declared. “You have any preference about sections; take your choice.

Balloting was resumed when Bryan retired, There were no changes in the re- | sult and the convention then ad- | journed until 8 o'clock when ballot- ing will be resumed. The 38th ballot gave: Total cast, 1,097. McAdoo, 444; Smith, 321; J. W.

McAdoo, thus breaking the solid 90 of the Empire state that has been cast for the governor from the start, There was a parade of standards and several minutes of wild cheer- ing and band playing. But this raised McAdoo's total to only 444 and the chances of the Californian meeting any success in the drive that he has had on today appeared to be growing less and less, Governor Smith was riding stead- ily, with little change in his yote, and polled 321 on the 37th ballot. The Smith and McAdoo deadlock was consistent and bitterness was appearing thru ballot after ballot, the opposing forces held their trench lines. Both failed to gain.

Here's a chance to have some fun and, at the same time, make a little extra. money during the vacation, Most of you have a pet of some kind. Lots of boys and girls have ,dogs or cats or canaries and some of you have unusual pets, The Seattle Sportsmen's asso- elation, which {s holding a big show at Third and Blanchard from July 12 to 19, wants to include a one-day pet exhibition, So Dr. M. A. Winningham, pres!- dent of the association, has given The Star $25 to divide in prizes to children with pets, On Monday, July 14, there will be a pet parade downtown. ‘Then all thé pets will be taken up to the show grounds, where a spe. celal place will be made for them and crowds will be able to look at them, Kids! Prizes for Y our Big Parade $5 for the best pet in the show; $5 for the best pet-float in the parade; $3 for the next best; $2 for No, 3 and $1 for No. 4. Let's see, that’s $16. $3 for the smallest pet; $3 for the largest pet; and $3 for the most unusual pet. That makes $25 altogether, and gives everybody a fair chance. While dogs and cats aren't barred in this show, it’s the un- usual pet that will get most of the attention, Some of the pets won't be able to walk in the parade, and you kids will have to make floats for them out of coaster wagons. You know what the floats in a grownup's parade look like. Well, your floats should be like them, only fn miniature, Tho Star has divided up the prize monoy this way: Tomorrow we'll tell you some more about.the contest and primt @ coupon for you to send im Sea:
