CHAMP CLARK ON THE RESULT.
Says Vote Was Practical Victory
for General Primary.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Jan. 1S.-Representative
Champ Clark said this evening to The Re-
public correspondent:
II honestly believe; that general pri-
mary for all nominations is the best plan for
Democracy. and consequently made as good
a fight for it as was possible with a great
press Of official and private business. 1
am in no way dismayed or cast down,
either as to winning the United States
senatorship or as to seeing a general pri-
mary adopted in the State. 1t is coming
just as sure as grass grows and water runs.
The vote In the State Committee to-day Is
a practical victory for the general primary
When Mr.. Chairman Seibert made his poll
of the committee by letter in November
and December, he reported only three for
the general primary. To-day there were
ten. II its advocates had had one month
longer in which to work we would have
won out. We are the ones to rejoice and
not those who succeeded in temporarily
knocking out a great reform in political
procedure.
without being a prophet or the son of a
prophet, predict that within five years the
Missouri Legislature will adopt the South
Carolina primary law, providing for the
nomination Of all officers great and small
on the same day-a plan which gives every
Democrat an equal voice in the selection of
candidates.
II have no quarrel with the committee
men who voted against the general primary.
1 had right to urge it. They had a right
to refuse 1t. Their action is simply another
Illustration Of the force of habit. We have
always had conventions; therefore, we must
always have them,' is not very sound or
convincing logic, but it won the convention
advocates a temporary victory by a narrow
margin.
Coming from things general to things
personal, and judging by dispatches have
received to-day from Missouri, 1 believe
that the agitation for the general primary
has increased my chances for winning the
senatorship. and that am nearer to it to-
night than ever before; for 1t has shown
that I am not afraid to trust the people,

plenty OF time in which to organize Doctor
Chinn was the spokesman for the agricul-
tural interests. who said that they could
better attend conventions during July and
August than earlier. The chairman then
suggested that a medium be struck and July
8 and 2 were chosen. This will give the
new committee chance to begin active
work by August /.
There was general discussion of the two
resolutions presented by the committeeman
from the Ninth District. Though Glenn and

Committee expunged from the records of

olution had been previously given fo the

DEMOCRATS DISCUSS WORK
OF The STATE COMMITTEE

Politicians found much to discuss In the
actions of the State Committee after ad-
journment yesterday afternoon. The intense
rivalry which was displayed in the fight
for the conventions naturally developed sit
uations that gave much leeway for COM
ment. Yet strenuous as was the campaign
of the cities, there were no sore spots after
the committee had finally disposed of the
various questions.
st. Joseph secured the general conven-
ton by clever maneuvering. Most Of the
cities had declared for the Judicial Con-
vention, so that when Committeeman Ly-
saght announced that he did not care to
present the claims Of st. Joseph until he
knew what other places wanted the gem
eral convention, he had virtually won his
case. All elements were united in its sup
port.
Kansas City stood no show for the Judi
cial Convention, despite the eloquent speech
Of Mayor Reed. Frank Walsh's known op-
position to the majority Of the committee
prevented serious consideration of any re-
quest which he might make. Sedalia's ef-
forts were purely formal, and eclipsed by
those of Springfield. which Is in the same
district.
ton narrowed down to Jefferson City,
Springfield and Joplin. Though Carthage
sent up committee which was supposed
to work for joplin. Committeeman Barbee
of the latter city declared last night that
he was sure the old factiona1 fight had
been carried into the State Committee.

fear or favor"
| CHAMP CLARK WILL
ACCEPT ANY PLAN.
/ E. E. Campbell, who was here looking
out for Champ Clark's interest, received q
telegram from the Congressman, who Is in
Washington, while the committee was IN
executive session. The telegram reads:
while I much prefer a general State
primary. will accept any plan the COM
mittee adopts. as 1t is the organ of the
party. and after it formally announces the
plan there is no appeal from 1t and no
kick. L nope to win on any plan"
E. A: Glenn and Virgil Conkling urged
that the original resolution be adopted.
They said that the general primary has
been successful In the Ninth District. No

primary. T. II. Wagner and ]. NJ. Sallee
spoke against the resolution, urging that
the State Committee could not properly as
sun.e the authority of binding the coun-
ties. They said that the committee should
not go on record for or against primary.
as IL was a matter entirely foreign to any
business that should properly come before
the members.

the Aull substitute: Wagner. Crawford.

man. Cruce. Armstrong. Edwards. Ward,

tute and in favor of the general primary
