Logic of Events Will
Nominate Clark"

BALTIMORE. June 25.-"The logic of
events viii nominate Speaker Clark The
fight for Democratic success in this cam
paign will be based mainly on the record
of the Democratic congress now in SEES
sion Nebraska is for him.
This statement was made today by Ar
thur F Multy, of Omaha. Manager Multy
said further:
This convention will indorse the Demo-
cratic record in congress in the strongest
terms. Speaker Clark. more than any
man. is largely responsible for this splen-
did record. If this convention fails to
nominate Speaker Clark, the party will
lose the advantage gained by being in
control of the house of representatives. 1t
would be neither sensible nor expedient
to conduct campaign on the record of
congress without Speaker Clark as the
nominee Of the party. In addition, he is
satisfactory and agreeable to all leaders
and all factions"
Frank Lucey, candidate for attorney
general on the Democratic ticket in rli-
nois, declared Illinois will roll up an I'M
precedented Democratic majority this fall
for Clark, if he is nominated
A. H Kallmeyer. of Los Angeles, who
helped nominate Mr.. Clark to Congress
twenty years ago, is also here to help
nominate his fayorite The California
delegation is pledged to Clark.
From the birthplace of the speaker, the
Eighth district of Kentucky, came DIR. w
R. Rhea and Colonel Robert Evans, dele
gates. They claim all of Kentucky for
the speaker.
Former Governor John Y. Stephens, of
Missouri, who has been managing the
Clark campaign at st. Louis, declared
that his champion will get every Demo
cratic vote and some Republican votes if
he is nominated. He claimed Missouri by
$1,000 majority.
viii H Merritt, of Seattle, declared
that although his state is normally Re-
publican by 10000, if Champ Clark is
nominated he will pull the state into the
Democratic column. The Washington del
egation is solid for Clark Similar OPP
timistic views were expressed by P. c.

he would deliver it-or raise trouble. OF
course there was nothing of truth in
the story.

gone up since noon yesterday. Last
night and this morning one hears the

A great Underwood meeting was held

at which much genuine enthusiasm was
aroused The Underwood boomers are
well organized and aggressive. One

Bautimore-in the street cars, on the

in the hotel lobbies-and everywhere
the burden of their song is the same.
Underwood is the logical man, they
say, and must eventually be nominated.
The Alabama man has profted some
what, too, by the attitude Mr.. Bryan
has assumed on the eve of the conven-
ton. 1t is not generally predicted even
now, that Underwood will win the nom
nation, but it is agreed that he is
showing far better form in the prelimi-
naries than even his friends suspected
he would, and in the event of a dead
lock would make a formidable candi-
date for the nomination. The Geor-
gians are standing stoutly up to I'm

as there is chance to nominate him.
