William Jennings Jen-nings Bryan had no word to say today to-day on tho first presidential ballot at tho Democratic national convention After the adjournment of the all-night session tho Nobraskan hurried to his hotel, where he retired for a needed rest He Indicated that the delegates alrcad yhad spoken their mind against Underwood and Harmon, but was noncommittal non-committal as to whether his choice was Clark or Wilson, although he added add-ed that ho bad voted for Clark. Mr. Bryan believes that he has achieved a great moral victory In obtaining ob-taining tho passage of his Morgan-Ryan-Belmont resolution, which waB hurled into the convention like a bombshell last night Over the breakfast break-fast table Mr. Bran talked frcoly of tho resolution. Asked what tho effect would be, he replied: "You wait for a week Thero never nev-er has been such an alignment of a political party against an Interest. Just see the voto that was cast for tbo resolution." "Is not tbo resolution nullified by the elimination of the last clause, demanding de-manding tho withdrawal of any dole-gales dole-gales representing tho Morgan-Ryan-Bolmont Interests?" "No," replied Mr Bryan with om-phusls. om-phusls. "The last clause was niorely putting Into effect tho first olaube. When before in any convention havo we had such men named?" "What do you think of Virginia's voto in faor of this resolution. There weio 23 1-2 votes for It and 1-2 vote against it. And Thomas F Ryan was sitting in tho delegation. Brought Delegates in Line. "ThlK resolution has mado th del- ogatos get in line Thoso who nominated nomi-nated a reactionary after passing this resolution would never go homo If thoy lived west of tho Allegheny mountains. Tho convention has gono on record." An Inquiry whether ho would support sup-port a reactionary candidato scemod to nottlo Mr. Bryan and he gavo no definite answer. "Mr. Bran. It has been suggested among delegates that conditions might arise that would causo you to bolt" "1 don't reply to eery report that is started about me," answered tho Nobraskan "I don't think any man has tho right to ask me that question. When this convention started could you tell what was going to happou? A man's course of action must bo determined de-termined as circumstances arlso " Mr. Bryan's friends say tho passago of the "bombshell" resolution has shown that "this Is a progressive con- I vcntlon" and that "a progressive must be named."
