NPEAKER CLARK DEMANDS
PROOF OF BRYkt

Speaker Clark reached Baltimore
Saturday and after consultation
with his managers issued the
following statement in reply to-
Bryan's speech in which he said he
would not cast his vote in the
convention for any candidate
supported by New York or ary
other state under control of tn,
interests:
To-day an outrageous aspersior
was cast upon me and through me
upon the democratic party by one
who of all men ought to be the last
to besmudge or betray his friend.
or his party. So far as | an
personally concerend. it is enough
to say that the charge which
reflects upon my personal or party
integrity is utterly and absolutely
false. 1 might afford to forget
myself, but l am by the choice of
the democratic majority OF the
house of representatives, the raak
ing1 democratic Official in public
life. l cannot be false or corrupt
without rejecting upon my party
in the most serious way.
"Any man who would enter into
an alliance with any selfish
interest or privileged class to
gain the nomination for the prasi-
dency is unworthy of the presi-
dency and of the speakership Of
the house: If ! have not entered
into such alliance, then the. demo-
crat, however distinguished. VIII,
want only charges me with thi.
act is traitor to the democratic
party and to his prnfessed friend

II am not here to plead for

any mans political action. Let
every man proceed in this conven-
tion according to convictions; and

stitutents.. / ask no undue con-
sideration from any man, be he
friend or foe, hut | demand exact
justice from every democrat in
this convention or throughout the
nation. With William J. Bryan

ton today, the issue is proof -.or
