WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 10.
Dear Dad: Much credit is due TO
Champ Clark for the manner in which
he has squelched the proposed "Balu-
more conference" OF Democrats. Ihat
conference is off, and jackson day
banquet, under purely Maryland aus
pices, will be held in its place. The
conference" was merely an early
move by certain self-constituted
leaders" OF the Democratic party 10

uses the recent Democratic victory.
The Joe Bailey and other Standard
oil members OF the democracy plan
ned 10 get their hands ON the steering
gear OF the Democratic machine, ana
to head things for a Judson Harmon
nomination in 1912. Champ Clark had
the courage to tell the promoters OF
the conference that there were a lot
of Democrats who did not recognize
the right of special privilege TO lead
them round by the nose, and that as
one OF them, he would not be bound
by any action taken at the Baltimore
gathering And that settled IL.

Did the local Republican Club meet
and elect officers last night?
When Olin Brashear, who has been

asked this question this morning, bel
said 4 don't know anything about
It ii any meeting was held I heard
this morning that a bunch Of fellows
met and aid something, but don't

announcing that the meeting was post
poned.
Whether the latter notice was not
seen by the crowd that met and did
the business or whether it was not re-
garded as official is one Of the dark
points in the transaction. Mr. Hamil-
ton said he knew nothing about the
meeting being called Off
Several interesting facts in regard
to the meeting stand out in a manner
which cannot escape attention. The
aold guard among which the names
of Hamilton, Speake, Payne and San
ford appear conspicnously. who have
4 been trampled on rough-shod for q
couple Of years, are again in the saddle
so far as the organization Of the club
4 is concerned. Whether the fellows
who had previously ousted them will
accept the action Of the meeting last
night remains to be seen.
Supporters OF J. a. Rose for posi-,

meeting and that adds fuel to the
