CLARK IS SURE
TO Be SPEAKER.
OF THE DEMOCRATS
HAVE PLEDGED TO SUPPORT
MIssouRlAN.

Washington, D. c., Nov. H. Champ
Clark of Missouri will be the speaker
of the house OF representatives IN the
next congress. Any doubt on this point
vanished Saturday when it became
known that Champ Clark had re-
ceived pledges of support from $50
democrats who will sit in the next
house. There ID democratic strength
of 227 in the house and in the demo-
cratic caucus ia votes, therefore,
will be necessary to choice Of can
didate
AS to the leadership Of the republic
can minority there has been resump-
arrived in Washington. Uncle Joe de-
clines to discuss the matter for publ
cation, but indications are that he Is q
candidate for the honor. His friends
contend that he is entitled to the po-
sition and they believe that by the
time another year rolls around the
agitation against Cannonism will have
died out.
Proeressives Plan a Fight
On the other hand the progressives
assert that under no circumstances
will the leadership be conferred on
Cannon. A majority of the 1853 repub-
licans in the next house pledged them
selves in the campaign to vote against
Cannon for speaker, and the progress
sives maintain that this promise ap-
plies also to the minority leadership
Several other republicans are under
discussion for this Office. One is Rep
resentative Madison of Kansas, a pro-
gressive who has many friends among
the standpatters Walter l. Smith OF
Iowa is a strong possibility, but he Is
not liked by some of the standpat lead
ers. A possible compromise candidate
is Nicholas Longworth.
w. ]. Bryan, who is supposed to be
dead, politically speaking, has bobbed
up as factor In the plans for shaping
the course OF the democratic party in
the next two years. 1t has been learned
that Champ Clark, acting in harmony
with the views of Bryan, brought about
a change in the character of the meet
ing of democratic leaders to he beld
in Baltimore on Jan. II.
Clark Opposed to Conference
This affair was originally advertised
as "a conference" to enable leaders to
formulate policy to guide the party
in it's conduct of the presidential cam
paign of 1912 Clark made 1t known
that he was opposed to ga conference"
that might be construed as conspir-
acy on the part Of the eastern demo-
Gratis to organize with a view to nulli-
flying Bryan's influence in the demo-
cratic national convention of 1912.
According to friend of Mr.. Clark.
the Missourian told the Baltimore
leaders that Mr.. Bryan would decline
to participate lin any conference
dominated by eastern or local leaders"
Mr.. Clark thereupon suggested that
Instead of conference rally be held
as means Of celebrating the recent
democratic victory.

overlooked. Milady comes in for no
little share of these articles OF mer-
chandise. The men and the little ones
are also we'll provided for, and no end
OF novelties will be seen in the various
stores. The merchants look forward
to g big holiday business and are hop
ing for ideal winter weather to enable
the stock to move in seasonable man
ner. No sooner has the turkey festi-

merchants RELOCATED it to the has been

ward making the Christmas holiday

WANT MINISTER TO EXPLAIN
Bishop Burgess to Make Heinzs
Marriage Inquiry.

Bishop Burgess of the Protestant Episco-
pal diocese of Long Island was asked yes
terday concerning the marriage by the
Rev H. A Handel. of No. 81 Jefferson
avenue. Brooklyn, of Mrs Bernice Golden
Henderson. who divorced her husband
some time ago. She was married on
Wednesday 10 Fritz Augustus Heinze, the
Montana copper capitalist.
Bishop Burgess replied that he had not
been officially informed Of the marriage.
He added, however, that he would COM
municate to-day with the Rev. Dr. Handel
and ask for an explanation.
The canon of the Episcopal church Pro-
hibits the marriage of a divorced person.
and q. minister performing such a mar
riage Is liable to expulsion from the min
istry if an ecclesiastical court so, wills.
There Is some difference of opinion
among the members of the Church, how
ever, TO the construction 70 De Pvt
upon the canon. Many hold that it pro-
hibits the marriage of the person against
whom a decree of divorce has been pro-
nounced. but does not prevent the mar
riage of the innocent party in divorce pro-
ceedingS.
