For CHAIRMAN
Your friend,
CHAMP CLARK

CLARK FOR CHAIRMAN
is RESOLUTION.
The following resolutions were
adopted unanimously:
1t is pleasing and gratifying to
know that the Ninth Congressional
District of Missouri is represented by
a man whose abilities are recognized
by his political associates and who
has by them been made the leader OF
the minority IN the present Con
-gress; but 1t is more gratifying to
know that by his efforts he has been
able to convert that minority into a
majority, as witnessed by the recent
triumph under his leadership over
Cannonfsm.
1t Is our fond hope that our repre-
sentative and great leader, The Hon
orable Champ Clark, will, in the APP
preaching election, not only be able
to secure a majority for the Demo
Gratis in the next Congress, but thai
his great capacity as a leader will
be recognized by the representatives
of the party throughout the entire
nation in his election as the Speaker
Of the next House Of Representative
for which we now put him I'M nomina
\ ton and pledge our support.

bulwark Of Democracy from the days
of Jefferson-and 'twould be a pleas
ure as well as an agreeable duty to
participate in your counsel for a unit
ed party and q glorious victory In
the coming campaign. The two are
inseparable in Missouri. The gener'

Champ cIark's LetHFr 70 Editors.
Hon. r. M. White,
Vioe-4President, ETC.,
Mexico, Mo.
My dear Bob
1 received your letter inviting me
to the meeting of the Democratic
editors Of the Ninth District at Mex
leo, Missouri, on April 18th and
18th. l would be delighted to be
with you on that occasion, but my
duties here absolutely prevent my
leaving the corporate limits Of
Washington while Congress is in
session. Things are in such a fever
ism condition here that no man car
tell when there win be another up
heaval. which may begin as sudden
ly as the last one did.
/ would be delighted to be with
the editors Of the Ninth District
for a general conference and the
taking of stock. ! am under a debt
of gratitude to them which l can
only repay by making the very best
Congressman / know how. They have
stood by me in the most unselfish
manner and / appreciate their loyol-
ty more than l can express In words.
The fact that the Democrats in
the House Of Representatives, after
years Of wrangling, have gotten to-
gether at last and are making the
fight for good government shoulder
to shoulder ought to encourage Dem
ocrats everywhere to get together.
The signs of the times indicate that
we will elect the next House Of Rep
resentatives which, in all probability,
will lead to the election of a Demo
cratic House and a Democratic Pres
ident in 1912.
Ever since the Democratic love-
feast at Kansas City on January Sth,
/ have believed that the Democrats
Of Missouri will elect a Democratic
Legislature, which will elect a Dem
ocrattc United States Senator, and
fifteen Democratic Representatives in
Congress out of a possible sixteen.
The result i'm the DeArmond Dis
trict, coupled with the result in the
Fourteenth Massachusetts District,
demonstrates that the same general
causes are operating everywhere.
Please give my love to all of the
editors.
Your friend,
CHAMP CLARK.

"The arrogance of this assumption
is unconcealed. 1t appears in the
sordid disregard Of all but personal
interests, in the refusal to abate for
the benefit of others n iota of self
ish advantage, and in combinations
tc perpetuata such advantages
through efforts to control legislation
and improperly influence the suf-
frages of the people,"
Tariff reform is the main ques-
tion now before the American peo-
pie. II that a be accomplished, the
Industrial and commercial questions
will work themselves out to a large
extent so that the practical maxi
mum of efficiency in all other things
will be accomplished. The Demo
cratic party, historically and practi-
cally, on this great proposition, is i'm
line with sound economic princi-
pies and sound constitutional princi-
pies.
The principles for which that
party stands are the same as those
upon which the Government for the
people was established, and in the
hands of competent management, If
the way of right and justice be fol-
lowed as a matter of duty, regardless
of immediate success, we know that
we will ultimately prevail.
1t may not be amiss i'm this great
hour of our bright prospects to in
culcate a little of the spirit Of the
Texas editor who fearing that some
thing may go wrong. seeks aid In
the following prayer;
20 Lord, now that everything is
coming III way, purge every Demo
cratic soul of hot-air and vain-glory
and insert large installments Of com
mon sense in every Democratic crani
UNI, and o, remember, Lord, our
proneness to make fools of our
selves just when we have the world
by the tail and a downfall pull, and
see that we don't get I'm bad this
time"
But seriously at this time, and
in this hour of reasonable expecta
tions and high party hope, Let us
look for guidance to the principles o.
True Democracy which are endur
ing because they are right and in
vincible because they are just"
