SENATOR CLARK ARRIVED
Back From a Three Months Tour Of
EuroLe

NEW YORK. October lo-The financial
depression which has been felt in the
United States is worldwide according 70
former Senator William A. Clark, who re-
turned today from a three 1nonths' tour
of Europe. He attributes tn" condit!o,
abroad partly to what he terms e. decided
lack of confidence In American securities.
Lack of confidence in the stability of
American business men and of American
business methods. France is the only,
country that could lend US any money at
this time" said Mr. Clark TIE French
are thrifty people. But they are not pur
chasing American securities now. I found
a decided lack of confidence abroad In
American securities, brought on, l think.
by what are termed the business scandals
The meat and insurance disclosures. to-
sethcr with those developed in he present
local traction investigation, they regard
in questionable fashion. In q word.
tAey lack conAdence in the stability of
our business men and question our
me thods."

murderer. or a thief. You must love
your father and your mother Never be-

than loving your parents, or a shorter
road to ruin and death by not being loyal

TAFT MEN FESTIVE
Over the Attitude of Roosevelt
Third-Term Boomers.
ADMINISTRATION LEADERS
What Is Said When They Ask fol a
Taft Delegation.
USED AS STALKING HORSE
Assertion Made as to the Secretary.

Party to Scheme.
USED AS STALKING HORSE

There are intimatons, in Do,it cal cir
cles. that the promoters OF Secretary
RATS candidacy Tor the presidency are
iecoming FESTIVE over the attitude of the
Roosevelt th!rd-term boomers and are IN
clined to ask for show of hands Re
ports to this effect have been circulating
lnSiStentiy for some days past.
1T is tnis way said a polit clan to-
day. who claimed TO know whereof he
spoke. The Taft managers in several
sections of the country have been trying
recently to reach some kind of under
standing with the local administration
bosses about Taft delegations. They have
been asking the pump question whether
the delegation from certain district
would be instructed for Taft.
Administration Delegation.
In many instances, the local adminis-
tration men have passed them UP with
the suggestion, Oh, let's get an adminis-
tration deleaatio and then at the proper
time We VIII turn it over to Taft Well,
for while that excuse went all right
But it Is becoming too frequent. At the
same time. they notice these occasional
hurries of sentiment favorable to Roose-
Welt for another term. The Taft people
are disGuieted
The point is this: If the administration
outht ls intent upon securing a renomi-
nation for President Roosevelt. why. of
course the Taft peop.e Will not oppose
Eut the Taft people thought the admins
tTation was for Taft. If So why not
promise Taft delegates outright, and not
ADM .stration delegates to be afterward
turned over to Taft?'
Used as a Stalking Horse.
Having thus unburthened his mind, this
politician went on to explain that perhaps
the Taft men had become little sensa-
tiVa over the repeated assertions that
Secretary TAFT is being used as a stalk
ing horse by the man intent upon forcing
President Roosevelt's nomination and
maybe were seeing things" He admitted
that the thought could not be harbored
Tor moment that President Roosevelt
would be party to any such scheme
That was an unspeakable thought which
no friend of either the Secretary of War
or the President could entertain
Anyhow. he added, as he sayag galy
Dit on the end Of a cigar, Just the same
