have to fight the Reed Folk combina-
ton, mighty strong one in Missouri
politics at this time.
1t is said to be the intention OF
warm admirers of Clark In other
states to go ahead and acquire dele
gates for him without his sanction or
consent and have these delegates pre-
pared to lead stampede for him at
the right moment.
The campaign to nominate Folk was
started with the opening of headquar-
tiers by the Missouri Democratic
league in st. Louis. A
The efforts of the league officers for

These states include North Dakota.

No attempt is TO be made to garner
the New Jersey delegation, which is
conceded to Governor Wilson. The
Folk campaign, however, will be ex-
tended throughout the west and north
west. after which attention will De
paid to New England.
Despite Clark's attitude there is a
disposition among Democrats in GER
tain parts of the country to keep alive
boom for him for the presidential
nomination. Precedents, however, do
not strongly support the promotion OF
d speaker of the house of representa-
tives to the presidency. There have
been thirty-five different speakers since

John r. Walsh of Chicago was con-
victed through the efforts of the bu-
reau. Charles w. Morse also met the
same experience at their hands.
In these cases, it may be noted, the
evidence was so intimately interviewer
with the law that it resulted in that
chaotic confusion on which the shifty
criminal lawyer can count almost with
certainty of aequitting his client. But
the bureau men who worked up the
cases were both detectives and law
yers, and In preparing and sitting the
evidence they accomplished what the
old time sleuth was not expected to do
and never did do.

~ HAMP CLARK has stepped
81 aside to give Joseph w. Folk

support for the Democratic
presidential nominat ton. Clark had
received offers of support from his
Gown and other states, and the story
behind the declination is that at the
Missouri state convention in 1903 and
since that time certain things have
happened to make Folk the Missouri
candidate.
At the state convention resolutions
were passed pledging the Democrats
to support Clark for speaker of the
house and Folk for president. Those
resolutions were agreed TO by CLARK
and the other Democratic leaders.
Then in 1910 three candidates entered
the state wide primary for the Demo
cratic nomination for senator. They
were Ex-Governor Folk, ex-Secretary
David r. Francis and James A. Reed.
who finally triumphed.
Folk pulled out of the race at time
when his doing so meant much to Mr..
Reed, and there is said to have been
a positive understanding that If Folk
would get out Of that race and give
his support to Reed the latter would
do everything in his power for Mr..
Folk for president In pursuance of
that understanding Mr.. Reed is COM
mitted to Folk and will endeavor to
swing the Missouri Democratic dele
cation to the next national convention
to the ex-governor.
To secure his own state delegation
Mr., Clark would be compelled to dis
regard the understanding at the Dem

he will not do, and he would also
