The resolution read:

A BEAUTIFUL KENTUCKY GIRL
WaSChamp'S MOther-Reared
in a Wilderness, Close
to Nature.
CHAMPS FATHER A DEMOCRAT

While Champ Clark has risen into
prominence. his road has not been
strewn with roses. and it has been
through the hardest kind of dig
ging that he has reached the Speak
ership. I''@Eaafsa''s ~"
Born in Anderson county among
the cliffs along the Kentucky river,
whose scenery is often compared to
that of the beautiful Hudson. Clark
was immured within the confines of
nature. The home OF Clark was
similar to that of other pioneer
homes, consisting of three rooms
the sitting room. the bedroom and
the kitchen and dining room COM
bined.
At the time of Clark's birth there
were no railroads in this section of
the country, and the farmers rode
on horseback to the nearest gro
Gerry store" and post-office for their
supplies and mail.
Reared in what was then almost a
wilderness, Champ Clark in his ear
lier childhood was a student of ma
ture. He loved the little spring
beauties which were found in the
woods nesting in the grass and
weeds. the old-fashioned thousand
leaf rose, which blossomed in mid
summer, and the goldenrod, which
betokened the coming of winter. He
knew the voices of the bob white, -
the thrush. the hooking bird and a
score of other birds of beautiful
nlumace which made their homes in
the hills.
John Hampton Clark, Champ
Clark's father, was a native of New
Jersey. and was born where Allan
tic City now stands. He was a wan
derer and roved from Philadelphia
to New Orleans. then worked his
way up the Mississippi and the Ohio
to Louisville. The city proved not
to the liking of the vigorous young
adventurer, and he finally drifted to
Lawrenceburg. There he met Ale
the Beauchamp. She was a frail,
beautiful girl. and the wanderer
quickly succumbed to her charms.
He lost all desire to roam further,
and after an ardent courtship, per-
suaded her to become his wife. He
was an educated man, a n;e-hanica
genius. and an enthusiastic e;pon.

WANTS THE SPLIT

South, and Methodist
Church.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-Union of the
Methodist Episcopal Church and the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
was urged strongly by John A. Pat
ton, Chattanooga, Tenn, chairman
of the Book Committee of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church.
There is no reason" Mr.. Patton
said, "why there should be more
than one Methodist Church in Amer
lea to-day"
The split of the church occurred
in 1874 over the question of slav-
cry and Mr.. Patton insisted that
church leaders above and below Ma
son and Dixon's line believe the time
has come when the breach between
the sections can be healed perma-
nently
The spirit of union found express
sion later in the day when it was
decided that the publishing houses
located in New York, Cincinnati and
Chicago should hereafter be incorpo-
rated under one name and be known
as 1.-THE Methodist Book Concern"
The action was the result of instruc-
lions issued by the General Confer
ence. which met in Baltimore in
1908, calling upon the publishing in
terests to seek incorporation and
consolidation.

TAFT AND SURE
DEFEAT" SAY SOME
Or progressive Republic
an Candidate, With
A CHANGE TO VIM" SAY OTHERS
The Ultimatum That is Being
Put UP to Republicans
Everywhere.
GARDNER GIVES HIS REASONS


[By Clyde H. Tavenner Social Wash
ington Correspondent of TheHefaldl
Washington, Feb. 11.-Taft and
sure defeat, or a progressive Repub-
lican candidate with a chance to
win.
This is the ultimatum being put
up to Republicans all over the coun-
try by the recently organized Pro-
gressive Republican league. The
striking campaign slogan was coin
ed by Gibson Gardner, one of the
press agents of the progressive or
ganization.
If what the progressives say is
true, that the denomination of Taft
means defeat for the Republican
party in 1912, it might as we'll be
accepted now that the next Presi-
dent of the United States is to be
Democrat. Mr.. Taft seems certain
of a denomination. This is be-
cause he has the necessary machin-
cry to get the nomination.
Gardner gives seven reasons why
Taft should not receive a re-nomi-
nation:
1. His failure to receive indorse-
ment at the hands Of Roosevelt.
2. His alliance with Aldrich,
Cannon, Ballinger and others gen.
orally credited with connections
with special privileges.
3. The hostility of the progress
sive wing, led by men like LaFol-
lette, Beveridge, Pinchot and Roose-
welt.
4. The public disapproval of
Taft's bad faith in accepting the
Presidency as a progressive, and ad-
ministering the Office as a reaction
airy.
5. The bad effects of his support
of Ballinger and opposition to gen.
uine conservation.
6. Taft's acquiescence in the
Aldrich tariff bill, his use of patron
age to coerce progressives, his de-
feat OF an income tax, etc.
:. The cumulative effect of these
as seen in the reputation of the
party In the late elections.
Opposed to these are the facts
that he has the confidence of Wall
street; that there is a strong sem
timent in favor of giving any Presi-
dent a second term, and that the
regulars in his party favor his re-
nomination. But the facts which
practically cinch a denomination
for Taft are these:
/. That the Republican organi-
zation is controlled by Big Bust
ness;
2. That the Southern delegates
are brought under Taft control by
federal patronage and cash.
3. That the Southern delegates,
combined with the delegates who
can be delivered by State machines
controlled by such as Penrose, Lor-
liner, Crane, Aldrich, Carter and
Warren, make up two-thirds of the
delegates to the national Republic
an convention.
"Shall it be Taft and sure de-
feat" demand the progressives, cor
