BIG AND STRONG MAN
WHY SPEAKER CLARK IS LOGICAL
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENCY.
Sound Reasons Advanced by Promi-
nent Democratic Organ Why He
Should Be Selected to Lead
Party to Victory In 1919.
new Orleans Item.)


Washington and New York believe
that the Democrats are going to win
the presidency in the 1912 election.
Mr.. Roosevelt sidestepped the tarifr
and passed 1t on to President Taft,
and Mr.. Taft sealed his fate when he
signed the PRyne-Aldrich bill and In
dorsed it as the best tariff measure the
country has known.
The Democrats came into control
of the house of representatives and
made Champ Clark speaker. Mr.. Clark
was able to organize the house Of rep
resentatives in such fashion that the
czarlike authority of the speaker was
delegated In great part to the rank
and file of the house from which 1t
should never have been taken.
1t requires bigger man and an
ADLER man to successfully head a legls-
lative body which has powers Of its
own than it does to act as an autocrat.
MIR. Clark successfully piloted the
house through a session that refunds
to the credit Of the Democratic party
and the country, who exercise author
ity and accomplish things never wholly
please anyone-but the average result
of the experience, brains and honesty
is success, and Mr. Clark is in the for

tunate position of man who has done
a hard job we'll
The speakership OF the house Of
representatives is the most important
position in our public life next to the
presidency. Mr. Clark, therefore, comes
into direct and natural contrast with
Mr. Taft. Both have absolute standing
among the people of America for hon
est intent in what they are doing. Taft
has succeeded in making series of
blunders in handling men and in pass
ing on affairs. Clark has worked along
broad lines and has made a brilliant
success of the big work he has had
to do.
Since Clark was elected speaker, he
has been mentioned for the presi-
dency. No public man could fail to be
1attered by the prospect of the Demo-
cratic nomination. The speaker has
subordinated his personality and what
ambitions he may have to the good of
his party. He has sought harmony In
the house of representatives, harmony
among the leaders of the party in the
country. He has steered the cause of
his party so as to render good serV-
ice to the country, and has sought to
make 1t sure that some Democrat will
win rather than to insure the nomina-
ton for himself.
1t requires big man and a strong
one to hold true to a position like this
The speakership offers thousand
chances for advertisement and for
political advancement If its holders
will but use it. Mr.. Clark has kept
himself in hand His only important
public deliverance was his defense Of
the Democratic majority in the house
against Mr. Taft's charge that the
Democrats were playing politics. Mr..
Clark carried off the honOrs in this de-
bate.
The qualities of tried experience. of
personal eligibility, of conservatism
combined with honesty, will count in
Mr. ,Clark's favor when the Democrats
meet in convention next year. The
speaker comes from the west the
doubtful west He knows Washington,
yet has not become of Washington as

Although there has been but
little said of the matter, there has
been strong sentiment develop
ing all over this district which will
probably result in the election of
John Kelley of Hugoton as a dele
gate to the national Democratic
Convention which meets at Baltl-
more this year. There is proba-
bly, not another man in this dis
trict who has given more literally
of both time and money for the
good of the cause than John Kelly
of Hugoton. He is a strong booster
for Champ Clark, and is familiar
with the wishes of the people of
the Seventh District. We believe
that the delegations for the state
convention from this district
should be chosen from the sup
porters of John Kelly.

The campaign for the nomina-
ton of presidential candidates has
begun in earnest! With the open
ing in Washington of headquarters
by the managers of the various
candidates of both parties, Wash
ington, the National Capital, has
become the center of the stage in
politics, and from now on the eyes
of the country, will be focused
there. Nearly all of the Democra-
trio aspirants for the presidential
nomination have established head
quarters. The managers of Wood
row Wilson have been busy for
months. Last week headquarters
for Gov. Harmon were opened in
the New Abbitt. and on Wednes-
day, Champ Clark headquarters
were opened in the same hotel.
II is understood that Underwood
headquarters will be selected with
in few days.
With the establishment of these
central offices for the booming of
the various candidates, the parti-
sans of the presidential aspirants
are getting very busy, and the
hotels are filling up with lieuten-
ants of the directors of each mans
campaign.
Politics are buzzing in the lob
bies of all the big hotels. The
topic uprermost is, Whom will
the Democrats nominate for presi-
dent9
While there is intense interest
among the Republicans as to the
probable nominee of that party,
chief interest, naturally, is cen
tered in the Democratic party, be-
cause it is believed, even by many
Republicans, that who ever may
be nominated as the Democratic
standard bearer, will be elected at
the polls in November. Feeling
generally among the Republicans
is that President Taft will be re-
nominated, but the Taft support
ers are visibly worried over the
activity of the Roosevelt shouters.
This is evidenced by the opening
of Taft headquarters in the
Raleigh Hotel, and by the state
ment given out by Representative
Mckinley of Illinois, who has
been selected to manage the Taft
campaign, that henceforth, the
campaign for the renominatlonSo of
Taft will be carried on aggressive
ly. Medill Mccormick has opened
Roosevelt headquarters here, and
declares that the former President
will be the winner in the Chicago
convention.
The most significant develop
ment of the week is the announce
ment by Democratic leaders in the
House and elsewhere that Speaker
Clark is the second choice of near
ly every state in the country
where he is not the first choice.
Some of the most astute politicians
men who have gone through many
hard political campaign, do not
hesitate to say that although the
Speaker may not be, at this time,
the leading candidate, he is most
likely to be nominated at Balti-
more. They give as a reason that
it is becoming more and more APP
parent every day that Woodrow
Wilson cannot be nominated.
Particularly significant is the
attitude of Democratic Members
of Congress in Ohio and New Jer-
sey. While Missouri has already
spoken and decided that it will
solidly support Champ Clark for
the nomination, 1t is conceded by
members of Congress from both
New jersey and Ohio that neither
Wilson nor Harmon can get the
