Champ Clark Compares National
Gatherings to Boiler Factories /.

Kansas City, Mo July is. Con
gresham Champ Clark came 10 this
morning, after a business trip which
he said "a necessary to his health
and pocketbook after mis- trying ex-
p~erience In Denver.
"Ofall the idiotfc performances on
the face OF the earth In modern times
national conventions are the worst.
You can 40 mora deliberate In one OF
them than you can in a boiler factory.
Nominating president and vice.
president and formulating a platform
is n Of the most serious and impor-
tant functions among men, and a nat.
ional convention should be held fol
that purpose, and not to entertain q
miscellaneous multitude.
I'm Chicago men OF national re
nown, who had spent weeks in pre-.
pairing speeches, we're outrageously
treated, insulted and booted down. In
Denver the galleries took the conten-
ton away from the chairman dele
gates time after time.
"There is no sense in trying to let
everyone into a national convention.
Ii can't be done and most OF the spec
tators would go to see a ive-headed
calf as soon as to see a national con-
vention.
Therefore be 1t known l am Ia IA
p0r Of cutting down the number of
delegates one-half and OF holding the
conventions in halls seating no more
than $500 persons.n
Congressman CLARK said that after an
absence of three weeks he was slightly
out Of touch with Missouri politics.
NBut Dave Ball is gaining strength
for the governorship, he said, EVERY
report l have received indicates that

~ ~ WANTS 1eAsNAf AeN4Se, ~
Mexico, NO., July Is, 1905. Recent
changes In the list Of candidates for
Governor on the Democratic ticket
have left Judge William Fl. Wallace
Of Kansas City, as the only aspirant
this honor whose past record fully
sustains the demands Of the Missouri
people for law enforcement.
Declarations from prominent Dem
ocrats, heard on the street and In the
home clearly show that Judge Wallace
is held the highest esteem and is re-
garded as the parties ideal candidate
for governor, BY a remarkable large
per cent Of the Democrats Of Mexico
and Audraln County, reports OF this
same character and to the same effect
are coming in from almost every part
Of the state; wherever be appears be is
met by large and enthusiastic au1lances
and leaves behind him many converts,
and by his words of good cheer and
good democracy produces IN enthusi-
asm which will prove a lasting i'm
preston for good; many where he has
been unable to visit, are sending out
letters Of inquiry, and saying, as the
City went out from Macedonia, come
over and help US.
To these who know there is no
question that Judge Wallace is the
man Of the hour; thatEthe time is ripe
for his triumphant nomination, that
his selection by the people means
another victory and new meaning to
"the Missouri ldea' which has adj
ded so much TO the prestage Of our
state In the last few years and given
it a leading part In the councils Of our
party as we'll as the affairs Of the Ma
ton.
Missourians by his selection, now
have an opportunity to add to and in
crease this prestige and increase the
power Of the state for good. There is
no reason why they should not ad.
vance. and In order to gain this result
every Missouri democrat who believes
as does Judge Wallace ought to see tc
1t that he receives his full vote on
August 4th;if this is done his plurality
will be overwhelming and his nomi.
nation assured.
There is no sufficient reason why
Judge Wallace's friends should not
have the courage Of their convictions,
nor do l think 1t possible that the
M~issourians shall vote a second choice,
and by their act defeat the end they
hope to attain, no matter how strong
the appeal may be; his friends and op.
ponents alike know that il all who
believe that he ought to be nominated
will give their support in the field and
at the polls his success is assured by
large majority.
Let every n who believes In law
enforcement speak to his neighbor on
his right and on bis left and send The
word down the line to stand by the
Guns"
Yours for the Missouri Democracy
