CLARK MUST
GET VOTES
OF new YORK
SECOND Choice NOWHERE
Believes First Ballot Will Be
His Largest

Baltimore, June 22.-Many friends Il
Champ Clark, who are not engaged I'M
looming him at all odds, are about
ready to concede that the Speakers
greatest strength will be upon the
first ballot in the Baltimore conven-
ton.
AS representatives of diffeTer.
states arrive, it has been learned that
Clark is not second choice in any,
except a few localities, and some of
his workers fear that they will not
be able to add to his strength after
the first ballot is taken.
The danger which the Clark peo-
pie have to face is that of losing
some of their delegates after the alb
legations of party convention or state
primaries have been discharged
A turn from Clark to another can
didate is feared from Illinois, West
Vii ginia, Massachusetts and Mary
land. If these states determined to
switch, it would leave a serious hole
in the Clark column and practically
put him out of the running.
The only thing which might save
Clark after the first ballot, is a polit-
zeal combination in his favor by New
York, Indiana and Connecticut, and Il
tight leash on the other states al
ready for Clark
That the Clark managers have been
unsuccessful in their deliber ations

Gicated by an interview which CLARK
National Manager Du Bots gave.
The Clark leaders at the Speakers
local headquarters are quite blue
over the outlook for any support t.
their candidate from New York del-
gates and have no hesitancy in say
ing that Clark must win without New
York.

selves of every opportunity presented
to bring about an understanding be.

support or else receive a disappoint-
ing reply from Murphy which would
impress upon them that their votes
for Clark must be secured from sourc-
es other than New York.
1t was admitted by friends of the
Speaker in Washington that Murphy
told the Clark directors in effect that
he could not stomach Hearst's intim-
acy with their cause and that he was
partial to Mayor Gaynor

ANOTHER SIDE

THE Bentztown BardD
There's always another side to things
Another story to hear;
There's always something to say fo'
kings,
For pauper and for peer
There's always another story to tell
Ard another witness to trust
Don't be sure he is wrong at first
And tumble him down in the dust
There's always another side, M
friend,
And the worst are not so bad
That they shouldn't be given a chanc'
to speak,
That their fate may still be glad.
There's always a singular circum
stance
Tat comes wit little light
To help the world in its final test
TO judge through the years arigh
There's always another side at best,
And we'd better not judge at all,
Tdan to Judge when only part j:
known,
However the balance NAV fall.
Wait till the other side is told,
And take no half truth in
To settle the fate of sinful soul,
For that in itself were sin.

TAFT'S EMPTY VICTORY.

Taft must read the letters. He has

of meeting the necessities of the hig1

MRS. OWENS RELATIONS :
WITH CHURCH PLEASANT
Has no Criticism of Committee
Which Decided Upon Change
in Choir-Had Due Notice

The Times has received the follow
ing letter from Mrs. Meta Goebel
Owen, with regard to her departure
from the Fort-st Presbyterian church
quartet choir:
Editor Detroit Times: will you
kindly allow me to correct an er-
roneous statement In an article pub
lished by you on Friday, July IL? 1t
reads as follows: Sunday evening the
quartet warbled together entirely un-
conscious of the dissolution OF sing
ing partnership I, for one, was not
unconscious OF the situation, having
been duly notified by my committee
the last week In June and accorded
ample time TO readjust my affairs, as
well as the generous courtesy of my
usual month of vacation. Changes
occur much more frequently In most
churches than ours. I have held my
position for IL years, though am the
youngest singer In the group. This
10 not altogether an unsat&actory
record. Though change Is awkward
and regrettable 1t Is generally over
ruled for good.
'I realize that to be obliging, per-
sonally popular, or even cnurcn
member, does not constitute the pri-
mary claim upon music committee
who have to secure the appreciation
OF the congregation, of their depart
ment A singer will please all OF the
people some of the time, some Of the
people all the time, but cannot hope
TO please all the people all of the
time until we enter Paradise where,
we are told, there will be no temple!
Many more radical changes will oc-
cur in various choirs Of the city In
the autumn, than in the Fort-st. choir.
Whatever the relation TO the choir of
my church. | shall remain true and
loyal member of its communion and
deeply appreciative OF the kindness
and sympathy / generously received
when most needed It, consider
my musical life as scarcely begun
and am looking forward confidently
to degree Of accomplishment impos-
