CLARK DESERVES CREDIT
FOR RECIPROCI I BILL

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Your article stating that the fight for
the Democratic nomination for President
is now between Governor Wilson and
Speaker Clark strikes me as being in
the main an exceedingly we'll written
and closely reasoned forecast. Your
last statement, however, to the effect
that President Taft's record on reci-
procity will pull him through will hard
Iy hold water.
The Republican statesmen who hope
that by making reciprocity the chief is
sue in the next campaign, President
Taft may confound his opponents, fail
to take into consideration the fact that
his probable opponent, Speaker Clark.
has a far better record on reciprocity
than the President himself. ForSmhile
Mr.. Taft was twice unable to secure a
bare majority of his own party in the
House for the reciprocity bill, Mr.. Clark
twice rallied the united Democratic
strength AND MADE ITS PASSAGE
POSSIBLE. Further. the Senate Demo
Gratis, following the example Of the
House Democrats, are giving the bill
their almost unanimous support, and
will furnish most Of the votes to pass
the bill. Since, then, the bills passage
through Congress will be due to the
President Taft, 1t is difficult to see
where Taft could make any capital in a
race with the Speaker.
This Is one of the things that makes
Mr.. Clark's nomination by the Demo-
cratic party a logical necessity II the
party wants to win. For by his record
he would spike the leading gun of the
Republicans, something that neither
Governor Wilson nor Governor Harmon
could do. Mr.. Clark has a long record
in national affairs on which he could go
before the people and defeat Taft. while
Wilson and Harmon have merely local
records to offer against the President.
With Clark's record on reciprocity, Taft
would not have a leg to stand on.
Moreover. many other things point to
Clark as the logical nominee. 1t was
the record of the minority in the last
Congress, under Clark's leadership, that
made the Democratic victory possible.
But for that record, the old story of
defeat would have been repeated. II
election, II will be on the record made
gress. Victory in 1912 does not depend
upon what Harmon or Wilson or Mar
shall may do, for their influence Is To-
cal, but upon the sagacity, the courage,
the skill, and the wisdom of Champ
Clark and his lieutenants. 1t is upon
this record that the party must stand
or fall. Clark's leadership is making the
record of the party in national affairs.
The man who makes victory possible
is entitled to carry the banner. In this
case It is not only Just, but necessary,
for Clark is the one Democrat certain
of election. GEORGE r. WILSON.

Foes of Reciprocity
In Canada Planning
Assault on Measure

OTTAWA, July 24.-While the pas
sage by Congress Saturday of the
Canadian reciprocity bill will aid the
cause of the liberal leaders who are
trying to secure it's approval by par
lament. the fight promises to be bit
ter. The forces which tried to kill
the measure in Washington have now
transferred their activity to Ottawa
and the opponents insist that the gov
ernment program will be fought at
every point
The conservatives who want to kill
the bill, aided by anti-reciprocity
liberals, were insisting today that
they would talk the measure to
death" Wherever the government
can be embarrassed, it will be, but
the lisutenants of the premier say
the bill, as approved by Congress,
will be adopted by parliament, al
though just when the vote will be
reached is hard to say
The opponents of the bill would like
to force a general election with reel
procity as the paramount issue. There
is a chance that they may yet be
able to do so. although the liberal
leaders will fight to the last to avoid
this, because they want to keep fai
with President Taft and have the
present parliament pass the bill.
