MANY AFTER SEAT
Of SPEAKER CLARK
.
He Cannot Be Candidate For
Both President and
Congress

st. Louis. Nov. 3.-Fom the interior
OF Missouri comes a pathetic story Of
the EN- mbarrassments that hedge about
receptive candidate for the presi.
dency. Speaker Clark is the man with
the embarrassments.
The speaker has right good Job
now. commonly esteemed the second
best one IN the national government.
Naturally he is not enthusiastic about
giving it up. in order to conduct pres
idential campaign with very uncertain
results.
But the story comes from his district
that several aspirants. for the congress
sional toga now worn by the speaker
are getting ready to announce candi.
dactes for congress, on the assump.
tion that the speaker cannot run for
time, and that he Is now commonly
regarded as candidate for president.
Somebody invented a pleasant story
about Clark headquarters in New
York being closed, in order that the
speaker should not be embarrassed at
home by the appearance of activity
IN the national field. The only trou-
planned. was that there never was any
Clark headquarters in New York. and
consequently 1t was not closed up.
1t seems. however. that aspiring
Democrats in the Clark home district
do want to be shown. If Mr.. Clark
Is to run for president, they want to
know 1t. because they have prospects
OF a fine young shindy over the NOM
tnation to succeed him in the house,
and want to get into the field early.
This Is rather inconsiderate. for the
sneaker has been preserving a highly
dignif1ed attitude, playing waiting
game. and preferring to avoid par.

Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 3.-President

According to the official figures Of

Beverly. Mass, to Hot Sprir by way
Of Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
washington and a few hundred other
cities. Taft has travelled 13,436 miles,
beating his own previous record Just
about 500 miles. Before he returns
to Washington for the winter the
president will visit Ohio. Kentucky and
Tennessee and will add 1884 miles
to the record.
Among the matters to be brought
to the attention of congress are tariff
reform with reference to the board g
report on the wool and cotton sched-
ules, the trust question, second class
postage rates, railroad securities, con-
servation with special reference to
Alaska, naval organization and curren-
cy reform.
Although the president has planned
a four day stay in Hot Springs with
the idea Of resting, he will do some
work on his annual message to con-
gress.
Mrs. Taft met him at the station
and they were driven Immediately to
the hotel that will be the white house
until Monday. Almost as soon as
breakfast was over Taft hurried out
to the golf links to play his second
game since he left Beverly on Septem-
Der Is.

icipation in an open contest for dele

His supporters have figured that
his best chance was to slip in be-
tween Harmon and Wilson, as COM
promise candidate, neither so conser-
vative az Harmon, nor yet as radi-
cal ar Wilson. ="
The Folk supporters have been
making themselves troublesome with
their insistence that Folk has been in
dorsed by Missouri Democratic con-
vention for the presidency. and is
therefore the states official candidate.
Mr.. Clark was chairman Of the con-
vention that did the indorsing. and
under the circumstances he is estop-
ceptive attitude. But the ambitious
Democrats in his home district are
complicating affairs by insisting that
he get right out into the fight or else
give 1t up entirely.
Meanwhile the Wilson boomers are
displaying more activity than anybody
else on the Democratic side. A group
Of Princeton alumni are looking after
the sinews. and 1t Is promised that
enough Princeton money will be forth
coming to make very reasonable
campaign. But the Wilson people de-
clare that the spontaneous uprising ia
what they most count upon.
They declare that the south is being
Rept by the sentiment. and that or
anizations are forming every day,
without any outside inspiration what
ever. to make the contest for Wilson
delegates.
This sentiment has become so strong
that southern senator's and congress-
hostile to Wilson when they went
home few weeks ago, are recognizing
the uselessness of opposing the popu-
lar disposition. The practical politi-
clans in congress felt that 1t would be
bad politics to name the Jerseyman,
because they had word thae he could
positively get no support from big
business.
They believed that between Taft and
contributions would all be on the side
OF Taft. and he might be elected.
Wilson they regarded as likely to
develop the same popularity as an ora
tor and leader, and the same weakness
in vote-getting, that Bryan developed.
But the Wilson case is much like
that of Bryan in former years. Bryan
was always vastly stronger with the
people back home than with the SOU
thern politicians in Washington.
The politicians here would agree
that Bryan was the deadly incubus.
would talk about eliminating him
and then would go home to support
him, because it was good for the poll
tical health to do SO.
Wilson boomers are worried greatly
about one spot in the south. It is. of
course. Alabama and the Underwood
movement. Most Of them believe the
Underwood candidacy is wooden
horse Of Troy. designed to get Har-
mon delegation, under the Underwood
disguise. from state that without q
favorite son would be certain to go
to Wilson,
