PROSPERITY OF SOUTH
PREDICTED BY CLARK
Country'S Greatest Growth Will
Be Southwark, Declares
Democratic Leader

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Champ Clark,
speaker OF the house of representatives,
addressing the Southern society, of New
York. tonight. predicted the south one
day would be the most thickly settled
portion of the United States and that
the greatest growth of the country lin
all desirable ways" would Se southwark.
mo region ever was so lavishly dow
cred by nature. Her physical resources,
scarcely touched as yet, are practically
inexhaustible.< The most sparsely popu-
lated portion Of our country. it will one
day be the most thickly settled. The
least wealthy portion per capita, she bids
fair ultimately to be among the wealth.
est.
THE stream OF immigration southwark,
which has been rapidly increasing during
the last decade, will become as great
as that which has poured into the west
during the last half century. For in
stance, during the last five years, there
has been as much immigration from Iowa
into Mississippi. the northermost of the
southern states. as from the east.
I'VE most cordially welcome these
Hawkeye' immigrants as high class
and thrifty citizens"
Declaring that the country's growth is
the sum total Of all its parts. Speaker
Clark continued:
The size OF the cotton crop concerns
the citizens of North Dakota just as
the size of the wheat crop concerns the
citizens OF Florida. Speaking generally,
the prosperity of one is the prosperity
of ALL for we are all surrounded by sub
stantially the same circumstances. trav-
cling in the same beat, headed for the
same destiny.
That homogenicty of population so
necessary TO national spirit and to unity
Of purpose and of action never in the
history OF the world existed on so wide
scale as IL does here. Our assimilative
faculties have been put TO a severe test
in the last 20 years by the immense army
of foreigners who have sought our
shores. But have proved equal to
that emergency, as we have proved equal
TO every emergency in which we have
found ourselves and it is matter OF
sincere congratulation that most of the
foreigners have been shaped and formed
and fashioned into good and useful citi-
gems. many of whom have risen TO emil
nence in the various fields of patriotic
endeavor. An American is an American
whether .he halls from Arizona or from
Maine; from Texas or from Rhode Is
