REQUEST is MADE OF
GEN. CLARK BY CAMP
Com. Davenport is Urged
for Vacancy.

Camp Sumter 642, United Confed-
crate Veterans. will urge the APP
pointment of its commander, H. T..
Davenport, for the position as
brigade commander, made vacant
by the death last week of Brigadier
General William DeVaughn.
The appointment is to be made by
General John w. Clark, general
commanding the Georgia division, U.
G. V. and the local camp is urging
Commander Davenport therefor
Yesterday the following telegram
was sent General Clark:
Camp Sumter, No. 642, United
Confederate Veterans, urges the ap-
pointment of their commander, H. T.
Davenport, as Brigadier General
of the Western Brigade, Georgia
division, of U. G. W
(signed) w. B. HEYS,
Adjutant
Commander Davenport was a gall
liant soldier in the Southern Army,
and no one more than he reveres the
memory of the cause for which the
South contended. AS commander of
of the local camp he has made it one
of the strongest.
Confederate veterans throughout
south Georgia would be highly graft
fed at the appointment of Mr. Dav-
enport to the vacancy.

DIDN'T VOTE FOR CRISP
AS SPEAKER OF HOUSE
Bryan Gave Ills Every Vote
to Springer.

Williams Jennings Bryan did not
vote for Hon. Charles f. Crisp for
speaker of the National House of
Representatives, and the statement
attributed to him wherein he said re-
Gently that he did not vote for a
Confederate soldier is correct
Quite recently Mr. Bryan is said to
have declared that he could not go
before the. voters of the Platte (his
home) having supported an Ex-Con-
federate
Denials of this statement have been
made by some of his friends, but it is
doubtless correct.
The ;. Times Recorder yesterday
sought Judge Charles R. Crisp, who
was his fathers private secretary
during his long tenure of office in the
National Congress, and asked con-
corning the Bryan episode now under
discussion.
And his statement was that Mr.
Bryan did not vote for his father, ex-
cept upon the floor of the house In
the first caucus, where he was
nominated by the democrats of the
House, Bryan's every vote was
against Mr. Crisp
He steadfastly supported Mr.
Springer, of Illinois, and only upon
the floor of the house, afterwards did
he come to the distinguished Geor-
gian with his ballot. This, as Judge
Crisp states, is a matter of official
record.
Speaker Crisp and Congressman
Bryan were good friends, notwith-
standing, and afterwards Mr.. Bryan
visited Speaker Crisp at his home
here in Americus for several days.
