Gov. Smith of Montana Believes Clark

San Francisco, May 17.-Gov. Smith
of Montana who is enrOute to Helena,
is quoted as follows concerning the
resignation and reappointment of
Senator Clark:
Il came to California on business
and never thought that such action
would be taken during my absence
from executive duties or l never
would have left the chair in the power
of the lieutenant governor The
trouble is the cause of my early re-
turn and | pray that l may reach
Helena in time to prevent it's consum-
nation. There is no way of revoking
the act, as the lieutenant governor is
vested with the same rights as the
governor during the latter's absence.
l knew that Spriggs was favorable to
Clark, but did not think he would be
guilty of such an act in the face of the
fact that not 25 per cent of the Mon
tana people are favorable to Clark as
their representative in the senate. II
the appointment is made before
reach Helena. I will be compelled tc
accept the inevitable"
