WHERE THE ORATOR WAS.
Witty Stenosrapher's Graphic Dos
cri ption of Position.

]. S. Willison, Canadian editor,
in recent speech told story of the
Hon. Edward Blake now M. p. for
Longford in the British House of
Commons. Mr.. Willison was of the
press gallery force at Ottawa when
the Canadian Pacific railroad con-
struction was up for discussion. Mr..
Blake was then leader of the Liberal
party in Canada, and was opposing
the building of the transcontinental
railway in speeches that were noto-
rious for their length. Mr. Blake was
an orator who required little notice
to make telling speech, but at this
time he had fallen into the habit of
writing out his speeches and reading
them off at a tremendous rate. He
had been speaking for six hour when
one stenographer, in relieving his fell
low, asked: Where is he now?"
Quick as a flash came the answer
from the man who had been rushed to
keep up with the orator:

The Democratic party is in q posi-

The work OF the st. Louis convention
as exemplified by it's platform and
candidate, enables the party to go be-
fore the people with a spirit OF conf
dence which should be accentuated by
the lack of faith in. the Republican
candidate. We do not believe that
the country is ready to place itself in
the hands OF Mr.. Roosevelt. II it does

Time was when Mr.. Roosevelt made
great pretensions as a reiormer. he
wanted to reform everything-ever
many things which did not need re-

his battle cry. But his subsequent
course has shown that 1t was al
sham. There seems to have been nc
sincere conviction.
In order to secure the privilege o
debating to his party he not only
assents to but lauds the worst things

like to say harsh things about the

says nothing Of the widespread shut

CHAMP CLARK BELIEVES
DEMOCRATS WILL WIN
Black in Missouri, He Discusses
State and National Politics
and Tells of New
Albany Affair.

Mexico, Mo-, Aug. 19.-Champ
Clark, congressman, lecturer, chair
man of the national convention,
chairman OF the Parker notification
committee, and Democratic bigwig
was in Mexico last night, as plain
and unpretentious a commoner as
when he plowed corn down In Ken
lucky.
Mr.. Clark was on his way to Iowa,
where he has some engagements to
meet Congressman Grosvenor in
Joint debate before the Chautauqua
assemblies.
Mr.. Clark is very hopeful OF the
election of Parker and Davis. He
has the reputation OF being a mon
who Is anything but sanguine in his
ante election calculations, being in
clined to overestimate the strength
OF the enemy rather than underesti-
mate II.
As to the state ticket Mr.. Clark
believes In speedy harmony and a
big victory.
In reply to a question as to the
New Albany incident, Mr.. Clark said;
"Mr. Lands had dragged in the un'
pleasant subject OF Taylor, the Ken
lucky fugitive from justice, who Ii
now being harbored by the governor
OF Indiana. Why any Republican
should choose that subject is almost
past comprehension.

"While still believe the Republi-

conclusion has been forced upon me
that, both In theory and practice, it
has been frequently wrong. Further

MILLlONAIRE'S POOR STOMACH

The WORKOUT stomach OF the over

OF evils attendant on the possession
OF great wealth. But millionaires are
not the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. Incorporation

pepsia and indigestion are rampant
among these people, and they suffer
far worse fortunes than the million

and try to secure the election oil the
nominees OF regular Democratic con-
ventions.
There has BEEN q good deal said
lately about the local democracy be-
coming disorgauized, and some dis
cussion alb nut whether certain candi-
dates regularly nominated would be
supported. When the Democratic
convention spoke at Jefferson City
and at st. Joseph, 1t spoke for the
whole party in Missouri. Its voice,
therefore, became the Democratic
law for this campaign. No man call
ing himself a Democrat has the right
to set his Judgment up against the
Judgment OF these conventions.
No member of this club has the
right either as a Democrat or as
member OF this organization to ad
vocate the defeat OF any man elected
at these conventions. II he does 81
