Clark. speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, delivered a speech here
this afternoon which was in part az
follows
Under the rules of the democratic
party. Governor Woodrow Wilson Of
New Jersey and Governor Thomas r.
Marshall of Indiana we're az the Bal
flmore convention nominated as our
standard bearers in tht. impeding con-
test. They are of high character and
the party Is united in their support
This is as ii should he. for the chief
work AZ hand. is 10 rescue the gov
ernment from the republican admin
istration AS ! have already said we
have not wha, the British have-'a
responsible government: the nearest
approach thereto which we can have
under the constitution is 10 have the
house. the senate and the president
all of the same political faith Hence
am anxious to See the democrats
capture al three, so that We can try
our theory. Then if il works we'll,
the people will recognize it and re-
ward US. If II proves bad in prac-
tice. the people will throw us out as
they should do. IT, however. all
three are not of the same politica:
faith, neither party gets the oppor-
tunity to try its theory"
Paying tribute 10 Governor Wilson.
Speaker Clark said in part;
SO far i'm this campaign the two
political criticisms levelled against
Governor Wilson ale.
First That he has llal little .x-
, perience in public life
'Second-That his opinion ON GER
tain subjects has changed in the
lapse of tune
AS TO rhe latter. while consistency
is ranked among he virtues il is
much better to he right. though in
consistent than To he consistent
though wrong
As to the lack Of experience as a.
public man l may he permitted to
suggest to those most concerned that
General Taylor had no experience
wharevar. nevAr having voted even a
single ,'m" and that General Arthur
had very little experience. II was
UNIVERSAL 'lv conceded that those presi-
dents disch1rgad their duties as chief

we'll Everybody admits that Abra-
nam Lincoln was 4 great president
MANY deem him th. greatest Of the

dency his entlre public service con-

q great commonwealth Everybody
da'lAres he has made good COVER

dent as Lincoln even the most crit
