The view held by Southern leaders
is that after the campaigns for

ST. Louis, Jan. 30.--The Cham1

The chief argument by the anti.
clark men of Missouri against
Speaker Clarks candidacy for the
presidential nomination is based on
the action taken at the meeting OF the
stats committee and a number of
Democratic candidates at jefferson
City In 1910. This meeting adopted a
resolution fayoring Governor Folk
as Missouri's candidate for the Demo.
cratic nomination to the presidency in
1912. II is eontended by the friends
OF Governor Folk and the opponents
OF Speaker Clark that this action
taken by this meeting pledged ths
Democracy of the state to support
Governor Folk under all c!rcum.
stances and against all comers for the
Missouri delegation to the national
convention. They put forth the claim
that this action bound the entire
Democratic party Of the state to abide
by the resolution adopted at that
meeting, and that the Democratic
party of the state cannot in honor or
good faith, even though circumstances
and conditions have materially chang.
ed, refuse to carry out the declaration
embodied In that resolution IL Gov
ernor Folk insists upon holding the
party to II. The friends OF Speaker
Clark absolutely controvert and deny
the accuracy Of this position. but on
the contrary maintain that II Is who'll.

The Real Facts.

What are the real facts that lead
up TO this action taken at Jefferson
City7 Early In 1910. Hon. James A.
Reed made public announcement OF
his intention to make the race for
United States senator. Later on dur.
ing that year both Governor Folk and
Governor Fra1eis were frequently
mentioned in the newspapers as pos
sible candidates for the Senatorshlp,
and many Of their friends and ad-
m,rers throughout the state were ad.
vocpting one or the other respectively

before definitely declaring his pur.
pose. During this period Governor
Folk was nursing two ambitions, APP
parently uncertain as to which he
should finally adopt. One of these
pointed to the Senate and the other
to the Presidency. He seemed to be
undecided whether he would take the
chance of running against Reed and
Francis. or either of them, for the
Senate, or whether he would keep out
Of the Senatorial contest and become
candidate for the Presidential nomi-
nation. 1t is known that he was in
frequent conference with his friends
respecting the matter. Whatever
reason or reasons finally influenced
his determination II is known that he
did conclude not TO become a candi.

an effort to secure the Missouri dele
gation to the National Convention.

conferred or just what inducements,

fiuence his conclusion need not be

Folk Out Of Senatorial Race.

Whether he should run for the Sen.
ate or seek the Presidential nomina.
ton was a purely personal question
with him, and a question for him to
decide for himself. Undoubtedly
Governor Folk had a right, the same
right of any Democrat, to become n
candidate for any office within the
gift OF the people to which he might
aspire. He decided that question for
himself. Undoubtedly he conferred
with q number of his friends, and pos.
sibly with others who were Interested
directly or indirectly, in the Sen.
atorial race. Having determined not
to enter the race for Senator, some
OF his friends went to work TO get up
and hold political banquet at ST
Louis with the avowed object of in
auguarting a boom for Governor Folk
as candidate for President. Invita-.
tions to this banquet were sent out 10
a large number of Democrats through.
