Portland Wants Elks' Convention.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 1.-THE
opening of the weeks program for
the entertainment of delegates and
visitors to the annual reunion of the
grand lodge of Elks was held today
and thousands went to Pasadena
where the first exercises were held.
1t is estimated $4,000 visitors have
now arrived and $4,000 more are
expected by tonight. The battle for
Office of grand exalted ruler is a
merry one. J. U. Sammis claims the
endorsement of more Elk lodges than
any former candidate ever had. and
August Hermann is entertaining Law
ishly and William H. Atwood of Dali
las is regarded as a dangerous dark
horse There is no contest for other
offices of grand lodge.
Portland, Ore, is striving for the
honor of entertaining the Elks in
1910 with Detroit in the lead and
Portland contenting themselves with
getting into a favorable position to
command the convention in 1911.

The Clinton boat club has issued
invitations to the members of the

the races which are to be held in

ever given by the Clinton club and
promises to bring together a large
number of boats and boat owners
from this section of the river The
program includes the usual races for,
small boats, cabin cruisers and rae
ing models and some excellent prizes
have been posted. The prizes are all
in the shape of silver loving cups and
there will be three for each race.
A special meeting of the Island
City boating association will be call

business left over from the last meet

CHAMP CLARK FOR PRESIDENT:
BOOM FOR 1912 LAUNCHED

Mr.. Clark" said Nelson I'VE fully
realize that it is to the interest of the
democratic party to have Cannon and
the old rules retained. Are you will
ing to lay aside this opportunity to
gain political capital for the good of
the cause of the people in general?"
Il am said Clark. q will do my
best to get every democratic member
in line"
Since that day Clark has been sized
up carefully by leading democrats. and
the deeper they investigate his quail
fications the more enthusiastic they
become in their conviction he will re-
ceive consideration for the. nomination
Today Clark's fitness is being urged
very quietly by men that have been
impressed by his conduct as leader in
the house. Some day within the next
year or two full-fiedged Champ Clark
boom is certain to be chronicled in
dispatches from Washington.
Has Broken Out Twice.
Twice the Clark enthusiasm has
broken out in public. AT a caucus of

on the Cannon rules Ollie M. James
of Kentucky declared that "if we dem
ocrats stick together on this PROPOSE

for president" Some time later ]. C.
Cantrill nominated the minority leader
on the floor of the house.
| No concerted effort will be made by
Clark's friends to advance his inter.
ests toward the goal mentioned until
following the congressional elections
of 1910, which, even in the opinion of
Isome republicans, is likely to send a
democratic majority to the house and
elevate Clark to the speakership.

Yesterday in Congress

Washington, May 15.-Following is
a summary, compiled from the official
proceedings, of the work of both
houses of congress yesterday:
SENATE-Again the committee on Fl =
nance was upheld when the senate vot-
ed. down an amendment by Senator
Cummins to lower the duty on round
IRON, etc, by a vote of 80 to AZ and up
netd the house rate, which was recon-
mended by the senate committed AL
most the entire session was given up to
debate on the profits of the United
states Steel corporation. and toward the
end of the day personalities were freely
indulged In by senators. This occurred
when Senator Root had spoken in de-
tense of theEfinance committee and in
criticism of senators who had com plain
ed of the failure of Mat committee to
provide more ample information con-
Icerning various schedules. Mr.. Money,
addressing himself directly to the SEN
ator from New York resented what he
characterized as lecture to the senate
and said that if the senator from New
York desired less ,speaking. in the body
'he should do less of it HIMSELF Sena-
tor Beveridge proposed an amendmen,

tobacco and its products and charged
that by continuing the shortweight
packages of the Spanish war period tn.

votes. About 100000 voters live with

for a democratic victory Clark could
also carry Kentucky, in which state he
was born. AS a lecturer, Clark has
come close to having visited every con-
gressional district in the United States,
which is unquestionably great boost
to man in politics Clark already
has dates booked for IA weeks for the
coming summer.

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, May 13.-Champ Clark
for president in 1912!
A canvass among the leading demo
Gratis now in Washington reveals that
the minority leader of the house is
one of those being discussed as avail
able presidential material.
Clarks wholesome stand on tariff
revision. his public record, personality,
experience; his popularity with Bryan
as well as Bryan's enemies within the
party; his close association with the
people as. a result of having lectured
in nearly every congressional district
in the United States, are points urg-
ed by the Missourian.s friends as rea-
sons why he is the logical candidate
for standard bearer of democracy in
the next presidential election.
Due to Recent Fight
Mention of Clark at this time, how
ever. is probably due to the great pub
licity given the recent fight of the
democrats to overthrow Speaker Can
non and the Objectionable house rules,
particularly in Golfers Weekly, and
|Eyerybody's and Success magazines
The accounts of this fight as printed
lin the periodicals mentioned gave
Clark considerable praise because OF
his attitude in the contest.
When the republican insurgents met
and decided to oust Culnon and the
Cannon rules if possible, they doubted
very much if the democrats would aid
them.
Cannon will do the democrats more
good as speaker than if he is not speak
err" theorized the insurgents. "If Can
NON holds the speakership it willain al
probability defeat the republican party
in the congressional elections of 1910
Therefore, the democrats will not as
sist us to dethrone Cannon"
. However. committee of the insurg
ents. headed by. John M. Nelson o
Wisconsin, decided to lay the matte
squarely before Clark
