Speaker Clark issued the. following
statement:
No set of men ever. made a better

naries and caused me to lead on thirty
ballots in the convention, in nine of
which had clear majority. Never
theless, the nomination was bestowed
upon Governor Wilson
''I never scratched a Democratic

nee in my life, Tshallinot change the
Democratic habit now. I am too sea-
soned soldier not to accept cheer
fully the fortunes Of war.
"I will.t suppoft Governor Wilson
with whatever power possess and
hope he will be elected.
'I lost the nomination solely
through the vile, and malicious sland-
ers of Col William ]. Bryan, of Ne

inuendo and insinuation, but they were
no less deadly for that reason.

Indiana; Elmore W. Hurst of Illinois;
Martin J. Wade, of Iowa; James H
Preston, of Maryland, and Speaker
Champ Clark, Of Missouri.
The suggestion of Mr.. Clark for
second place On the ticket was the
feature of the evening performance.
The sentiment of the convention was
strongly in favor of giving the speaker
the place if he would accept it. H. H.
Dean, of Georgia, placed Clark in nom
ination and took the convention un-
awares. The Clark leaders held ex-
cited conferences and the speaker
himself was called on the telephone.
Despite a speech by former Gov. A.
M. Dockery, of Missouri, withdrawing
Clark's name and telegraph state
ment from the speaker himself, de-
claring he would not take the place,
the convention was still hopeful OF
his final acceptance and one of the
reasons for the suspension Of the vote
Oh the nomination was the desire OF
the leaders to make sure of Clark's
position.
