Same Financial Interests Which Controlled at Chicago Trying to Run Democratic Party and Elect Taft, He Says. BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. ; jabedaias (Copyright, 1912, by Virgil V. MeNitt.) BALTIMORE, June 26.—The smoke of battle has cleared away and the country is now able to look upon the amazing spectacle of a National Con- vention controlled by a National Committee, that committee controlled by a sub-committee of sixteen, the sub- committee controlled by a group of ‘eight men, these men controlled by Boss Murphy, and Boss Murphy con- trolled by Thomas Fortune Ryan. Probably never before in the his- tory of the country have we seen two men attending a National Con- vention and pulling the strings in the open view 6f the public. Mr. l'yan, Mr. Belmont and Mr. ie Morgan have municipal work in New fj Ps 5 | York and Brooklyn that will involve x! | the letting of contracts amounting to more than $250,000,000. This group | of financiers also ave large finan- cia} Interests in many of the great ities and wherever they work they neeé a politica! bors. Some of their bosses work under the name of Demo- crate, and come bear the Republican label, but they all work for their mas- ters. Thos t big financiers have been us- ing the organizations of the two leal- ing parties to do their service, They were exposed last week at Chicago, — and, because of the exposure, Mr. Taft's nomination w pnless they could control the Democratic party and prevent the nom{nation of a progressive around whom both Democrats and progr could rally. FINDS “INTERESTS” IN CONT ROL. I did not believe until I reached Baltimore that it was possible for i "them to control this convention, but I find that the delegates who know what the interests want, and, knowing it, are willing to help the interests, are more numerous than I had supposed. Many of them came masquerading as progressives and supporters of progressive candidates, Besides these, who knows what they want and know how to get it, there are those who can be deecived with the argument that harmony is 1 important than principle—an argument always used when the gang gets control of ihe organization, but never heard when the igang toes control, Then there are some who regard everything from the standpoint of lis Influence upon the candidate whom they favor, Adding these groups together, they coustitute a majority of this convention and they have put the party In a falae light before the country | * The Democratic party is ‘Three-fourths if not nine-tenths| of the rank and file have no sympathy whatever with the efforts to use the party organization in the interests of a few exploiters; but the masses are| temporariiy helpless when they are misrepresented by those whom they | elected delegates.

If the Democratic party has not virtue enough to repudiate this band of | buccaneers, now that it has been exposed, it cannot hope to appeal to the confidence of the people. Any candidate for President who enters into col- lusion with them will find a mill-stone about his neck, I do not belleve that they can eucceed in nominating anybody whom they favor, but the nomination will be a mere formality if they do succeed, ‘This Is no time for protestations of party loyalty, or for the paying of ue crpty compliments. The American people are demanding rellef from the Cegpotic power of organized greed, Unless the Democratic party is ready to give them this relief, the convention might as well adjourn and let the delegates go li trains that arrive near middle of the night— Jate enough to avoid the reception committees that will be ready for some of them if they reach home in the day time. » by to-lay with a gold medal and an il- luminated address of thanks by the city of Liverpool for his work in rescu- hes the urvivors of the Titanlc didaster, ROSTRON AGAIN HONORED. | Liverpool Thanks Tit and Presents Medal.

BY MARTIN GREEN ® (ta Correspondent of Fae Bvesing Worle), BALTIMORE, June 26,—William Jeunings Bryan won two vice tories to-day in a desperate effort to reverse the setback of yesterday, when he was defeated by Judge Parker for Temporary Chairman of the Democratic National Convention. He first reversed the programme of the reactionary faction which intended to make Judge Parker the Permanent Chairman by forcing the selection of Ollie James for that post. Although instructed for Champ Clark in the Presidential fight, James is a progressive and one of Bryan’s closest friends, His keynote speech is expected to be strongly finged with progressivism. Bryan then repudiated the Murphy-Taggart-Sullivan attempt to mole lify him and refused election as Chairman of the Resolutions Committee. He also made it plain that unless an out-and-out progressive platform anne is adopted he will return a minority report and carry the fight back to the: | Fifteen Feet Taken From St. Hs, | floor, or even to the voters of the country if forced to do so. rhc (I 5 4 Ji Mark’s Churchyard Widens | Bryan followed this up by forcing the unprecedented step of having ITV'S PICKAXES.
