Washington, October 2s.-The friends
OF Speaker Champ Clark, In Washing

fort being made by q certain set of
Missouri politicians to prevent Mr..
Clark from receiving the presidential
nomination. An interesting story
reached Washington day or two ago
regarding an early frost which the
anti-Clark people are preparing in
Missouri.
This story is that the Speaker has
a right good job now. commonly cs-
teemed the second best in the national
government. Naturally. he is not en-
thusiastic about giving it up in order
to conduct presidential campaign
with very uncertain results.
But the story comes from his dis

Speaker are getting ready to announce

STRIVES TOBREAK

AT Madison she worked hard in the

Now, in view of the treatment she has
received. Miss Wagner declares that
she will continue the fight IL she has
to go 1T alone
Unless we can bust the suffrage
trust, there is little hope OF our win
ming suffrage In Wisconsin," she says.
Many women are not aware of the
TACT that there Is suffrage trust, but
my experience during the last year
proves 1t beyond doubt Neither can
we hope for success without the pro-
gressive, independent methods used in
Washington and California. and, above
all, the women must learn to be abso-
lutely honest with themselves and one
another.
Until we bust the suffrage trust
SO that every woman In the land feels
that she has right to work. to or
ganize. to speak and to do what she
can In her own way. we never can sue

The most wholesome thing that
could happen would be to have fifty
Independent organizations started in

men Is appalling, and unless the good
suffragists from all parts OF the caun-
try come to the rescue quickly with
