Republicans.
GOES AFTER MR.. HEPBURN
Takes the Iowa Nan to Task for Soma
Recent Utterances-Speech Re
sarded as a Democratic
Campaign Document.

tive Champ Clark OF Missouri today
added a comprehensive chapter to the
campaign material of the democratic
party for the coming presidential cleo
ton in the delivery of a carefully pre-
pared speech on the tariff question in
the house. Mr.. Clark said IN opening:
I'VE go forth to battle with tariff
reduction and genuine reciprocity in
scribed on our banner"
He then drew a line of demarkation
between the tariff ideas of the two
parties and dwelt at some length on
the standpat declaration Of the repub-
licans. He called attention to the dis
senting element Of that party, who, he
said, marched under the banner of the
Iowa idea, n inferentially he classed
this element as democrats. He pre-
dtcted the denomination Of President
Roosevelt and conceded that the re-
publicans may be able, by hook and
by crook to get together for this cleo
ton" but a that there would be a
Struggling off Of the party which would
amount to a split in the heal future"
MI. Clark referred to Representatives
Hepburn n Grosvenor as "Lurninar-
les of the first magnitude in the con
gressional galaxy, n high priests in
the temple OF protection He pictured
these two republican warhorses'' in
their seats side by side in the house and
remarked: Occasionally these two
statesmen fall afoul of each other, but
their spats are lovers quarrels. They
sooh Kiss ana MAKE up again, ana
usually fight in pairs"

II live in a county of 24,0C0 people, a
farming community. There is not a
protected industry in that county" and
commented on it as follows:
"By thai one declaration, unwittingly
