Bisbee daily review., 1911-06-01

perienced and is wasting All lis strength in the first burst of speea. The brilliant governor. they ray. Is rushing along thinking he sees the white house in the vista, while in ie- ality he sees a political graveyard; while Clark, not being yet prepared for funeral. is going along conserv- atively and sanely.
 Cool and Calm.
 Nothing can disturb the equanim- ity of Champ Clark--not even the Harmon publicity headquarters es- tablished under his nose. nor the dramatic rush of Wilson into public favor, nor the possible re-entrance of Bryan into the presidential race The speaker is tusy making new friends and concluding old enemies He IS more responsible for the present har- mony in the democratic ranks in the house than anyone csc. It is absurd to think he does not sec a reward Tn view for his efforts
 Still Champ Clark Is not losing lit of sleep listening for the buzz ing of the presidential bee. He is as calm, cool. collected and poiseful as his first lieutenant. Oscar W. Under wood. who steers the house through the mazes Of lesislation as chairman of the ways and means committee. Not even the sinister figure of Bali --- '-- 'Na senate. who is sure to dom mate the reactionary influence in democracy. can disturb him. Senator Bailey. it is safe to say. does not look with favor upon the Clark pres idential aspirations. Not merely a case Of personal an.tipathy or oE professional iealosuy. but of motive far Jeeuer, will bring the Bailey ;tn- tagonism out at the propCr mcrlent and setting.
 Stands on Record.
 The speaker says in effect that he is going to stand or fall by the rec ord made by the present house of representatives. In this respect he is believed 10 have an advantase over Governor Wilson. It is admitted that the legislative program put through the New Jersey legislature by the governor was an extremely ambitious one, reflecting great credit on hr Wilson. The New Jersey legislature has adjourned, however, and much that has been done there has heen sorgotten outside of the state. Mir Clark's friends figure that the eyes of the country are now cente-od cn the democratic house, and that, If the house performs as Mir. Clark wishes and hopes it will perform. he uill be in an excellent position to co1r msnd a majority of votes in the dem ocratie national convention.
 Good Feeling Prevails.
 While Speaker Clark may not have the undivided support Of the demo crstic members of the house. it IS today an admitted fact that there is a better feeling, on the democratic side of the house. than ct any time since the rules fight in the last con gross At that time Mir. Clark. then minority leader, made no secret of his bitter feeling against Represen. tative Fitzgerald and the twenty-two men who voted against Clark on the committee Of committees. At that time the minority leader told FitZ- gerald he would have no more of his slack jaw" It is now learned that more than a year later. at demo cratic caucus, MT. Clark too occasion to apologize to Fitzgerald for the use of that language. This apology WAS in accordance with Mir. Clarks deter-' ination tO maintain harmony in his own ranks. and it had the effect of healing the old wounds Now MT Clark is just sitting tight waiting for the democratic house to complete le7islative Trogram which will provide him with a platform on which he m stand as Q candidate for the presidential nomination.
