Kentucky and Missouri are standing
together. They will do Just as Clark
says. The speaker is bitter against
Bryan for trying to name Wilson, al
though instructed for the speaker by
the preference primaries held in Ne
braska, and the Clark men express
the belief that the nomination Of In

Nebraskayn would force the latter to
bolt the ticket.
The Wilson leaders we're aware OF
the plans Of their opposition and
we're taking active steps to oppose
them.
Anticipating that Bryan, who has
openly characterized Underwood as q
reactionary, will try to take the
platform to make a speech against
his candidacy, the Missourians openly
stated today that they would not per-
