The surrounding the nomination
of Governor Wilson furnish the mplest vndcaton of Champ
Clark from the assaults and misrepresentation of Governor Will
sons friend Bryan Because the very influences about which By

the influences which the appointed time brought about
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson
There only thing that ranking the hearts of Clark
is the false accusations insinuations

Mark the hypocrisy Of Bryan
The next day Tom Taggart the corrupt of all bosses
Indianas vote to Wilson and that finally
made Wilson possible
And Bryan sulen and insncere sat silent and
unprotesing in his seat
It was the action of the New York delegation by Congress
