xu.s,,;ngton February 2s.-(SpeciaL)- p panrssentative Clayton today made the following statement;
 "I am profoundly grateful to my friends in Alabama for the many kind eApies- sions regarding me as one. of the loar delegates at large from the state to 'ne democratic national convention and you may say to the democrats of Alabama that I will be a candidate for delegate from the state at large to the Denver convention, and if chosen shall use my experience and whatever ability nave to forward the best interests of the dem ocratic party and the country
 nMr. Bryan will be nominated. be- lieve he will be surely elected. It ID needless for me to say that l will ialtn- fully observe the wishes of the demo- crats of Alabama expressed in this pri- mary election"
 Cnponents of the nomination of Secre- tary Taft are daily pointing out the activity being displayed by federal office holders in the interest of the war sec retary. For instance, there were three sets of delegates selected yesterday In the Missouri convention it IS declared that of the 1O74 delegates in the conyen- ton 672 were federal officeholders. Even the rural free delivery carriers and the internal revenue officials were not omit ted. Nearly every presidential postmas- ter in the state was on hand and the deputies of the United States marstials were solidiy behind Senator Warner in urging an instructed delegation. At Bay City, Mich, thirteen postmasters ran the convention. In the Seventh Virginia dis trict the four presidential postmasters in the district, practically all the other post masters of the second, third and fourth classes, with their assistants and carriers, overwhelmingly dominated the conven- ton.

Hefiin this aft ernoon says:
 Many of the white republicans here are thoroughly disgusted with their party's position on the negro question and because of being compelled to mix up with negroes in their work and on the cars. Many of them say they will vote the democratic ticket this fall. In fact, six republicans knowing you spoke my sentiments as well as their own, asked me this afternoon to write you a word of encouragement"

 Your committee is of the opinion that there shiuld be no further patchwork, no temporary device, no political expedlent. but that there is to be a genuine and complete reform of our financial and cur rency practices The business interests of the country and danger to our national credit unite in demanding that we now adopt scientific, sound and wise finan- cial and currency sytem. The bill which your committee now has the honor to re- port to the House is comprehensive in character, scientific in principle, political in its application
 The synopsis claims for the bill that 1t will unify the banking interests of the United States; will secure a uniform and adequate reserve in gold coin. to prove all bank credits and thereby protect tho interests of all depostors; will establish a scientific and simple monetary system; will give the country true credit cur rency system by which current credits will always increase and decrease in strict accordance with the demands of business; will give to laborers, farmers, producers. manufacturers and merchants. and to all others having bank accounts, the right to have their credits in that form which will best serve their needs; will give to the masses of the people just as econom- ioa and cheap credits as the rich and powerful have: will establish currency based upon the products of labor and re- deemable in gold coin; will give to the producers and merchants the opportunity to coin their commodities into currency which the banks will be compellel to re- deem in gold coin: will establish in the United States treasury an approximate fund of $7O0 600 to guarantee the re- demption of these notes in gold coin and protect all 6epositors of national banks. thereby preventing panics and stoppinx the hoarding of money; will completely divorce the operations of the United States treasury from the trade and conmercs' of the country and thereby prevent their continuance as a disturbing factor in tho business of the country.
