reports from the committees on perma-
nent organization and credentials.
Lie committee Oh permanent Organiza-
ton met at once and elected Representa-
tive Champ Clark as permanent chair
man. The choice was unanimous

time needed to prepare the report Of the
committee on credentials. This commit
tee disposed Of the last contest at an
early hour this morning, but was unable
to have its report ready for the conven-
ton.
Bryan to Speak.
An interesting feature OF the proceed
ings before the committee ON credentials
was the appearance at 3 a. M. OF Will
ham J3 Bryan after the Illinois contest
had been disposed of. He asked for a
reconsideration Of these cases that ne
might make minority report. The COM
mittee ruled that no reconsideration was
necessary and Mr.. Bryan was told to
make his minority report. He asked
these members who would sign it to
stand up and the delegates from Okla
homa, Wisconsin. Minnesota and Rhode
Island arose. This action foreshadowed
that Mr.. Bryan would make a fight on
the floor Of the convention. The COM
mittee sustained the action of the ma
tional committee in all Of the contested
cases save that from the Twenty-frst

SENATOR CLARK WE'D
HIS WARD IN 1901.

the fact that he had married his ward
Miss Anna E. La Chappelle, in Mar
settles, France, May 25, 1901. There is

about years old.
The announcement adds another chap
ter to romance that began about nine
years ago in the city of Butte and in
which the handsome child of the western
mining fields and the many times mil
llonaire United States senator are the
leading characters. It was while in one
of the mining towns where his interests
lie that Senator Clark was present when
ihe miners and their families were enjoy
ing Fourth Of July celebration. There
young men and women, but that which
particularly caught the eye of Senator
CLARK represented a goddess of liberty.
1t was gracefully worn by young wom-
an, probably thirty-fve years his junior
Senator Clark made inquiries and
learned the goddess was impersonated by
Miss Anna e. La Chappelle.
He learned that La Chapelle, the father
of the girl, was French Canadian ply
stefan who, with his wife and family,
had turned to the United States and it's
western fields for livelihood. La Chap
pelle died suddenly and soon after this
Senator Clark decided to extend financial
assistance to the family, not for Anna
La Chappelle alone, but for her widowed
mother and children. He was introduced
to Mrs. La Chappelle and thus met her
children. He recognized Anna as a girl
endowed with unusual intelligence.
Senator Clark made the girl his ward
and soon after this provided her with op-
portunities for such tuition as he consid-
cred she should have. Mrs. Clark is at
present in Paris

CLARK STILL FOR SILVER.
Montana Senator Says, However, That
Question Has Been Shelved by In
crease i'll Gold Production.

Kansas City, Mo-, July William
A. Clark, United States Senator from
Montana, today said, regarding the ticket
named by the Democratic national con-,
Yention:
1T is a good ticket and the platform
is all right The silver question as
political issue is dead.
II am Just as much a bimetallist as
ever. but the unusual increase in the
production of gold has temporarily
shelyed the free silver issue. The plat
form is not one that particularly appeals
to the west, but we will not fight it. We
will carry New York by 100000 and
West Virginia will go from the Repub--
Hcan to the Democratic column.
