Stirring Scenes at Convention Opening
Denver, Col. Thomas Taggart of Indiana called the Democratic national convention to order at noon Monday. Theodore A. Bell of California was named temporary chairman and a large slate of convention officers and clerks was announced. Bell’s address upheld honesty in public life, opposed abuse of corporate power, and urged tariff reform and regulation of campaign funds. The roll call adjourned until Wednesday for permanent organization as Alabama’s Henry Clayton was named permanent chairman.
