MIR. CLAY IN ILLINOIS.

But few weeks since, report was
circulated through the eastern prints,
that Mr.. Clay had been nominated BY the
members Of the Legislature of Illinois,
as suitable person to succeed MIR. Mon
roe. When we first saw this report in
print, we knew it to be unIounded be-
cause we. were convinced from previous
information, on which we could rely,
that in Illinois, Mr.. Adams was the most
popular among the candidates for the
presidency. The following letter may
be considered as confirming the opinion
we have formed, although the writer
does not say which ofthe candidates will,
in his opinion, ultim ately receive the
votes of that state. We would remark,
that MIR. Field is gentleman of intelli-
gence and integrity, and as his means
of information were at least equal to
those OF any other member of the Legis-
lature, the fullest confidence may be re-
posed, in the belief he has expressed,
that any attempt to nominate Mr.. C.
must have failed.

LOUISVILLE, MARCH IL, 1928.

Mr.. Permit has been industrously circus
lated through parts of the Union, that the IIli-
nois legislature had nominated Henry Clay, as
fit person for the next President. Having
had the honor to be memb er of that body,
and knowing that those reports had their
origin entirely from the impression that pre-
vailed at an early period of the session, that
Mr.. Clay would be nominated-I therefore
deem it my duty to state through the medium
of your paper, that notwithstanding Mr.. Clay
may have had many and influential friends in
the Illinois legislature, still believe am war;
ranted in saying, that any attempt to have
nominated him for Presiden would have
failed.
