Campaign to pick permanent convention chair unsettled
The July 5 bulletin notes no decision on a permanent chairman and defers to the permanent organization committee. Champ Clark and Patrick Collins are frequently suggested, with some favor for John Sharp Williams to preside from start to finish. Mayor David Rose of Milwaukee and others are mentioned but not urged strongly. Parkerites push a potential Gorman preside bid, but no contact has been made as the matter remains in abeyance.

St Louis July 5 Parker backers claim the New York jurist remains strong as anti Parker delegates fail to unite. Pennsylvania’s 68 votes stay in Parker’s column though not instructed, complicating hopes for an eastern candidate. Bailey or McMahon may head the resolutions committee, with Hill not chairing. Bryan’s waning influence appears as Illinois contest shifts away from his control.
