RESULT IN KANSAS IS
VICTORY FOR WILSON
Governors Friends Pleased al
instructions to Delegates.

Washington. March 1S.-The result
in Kansas is very gratifying indeed to
Governor Woodrow Wilson's friends.
The delegates were instructed for him
as second choice and authorized to
cast the vote Of the entire delegation
for Governor Wilson when two.thirds
of the delegation so desired. This is
all that could have been expected
when it is remembered Kansas Is real
ly Speaker Clark's front yard" Not
withstanding the fact the Missouri
papers supporting Mr.. Clark went to
every precinct throughout Kansas and
the speaker himself wrote innumera-
BILE personal letters to his friends, tho
overwhelming sentiment of the masses
was for Governor Wilson.
Had there been presidential pri-
mary instead Of convention the
friends Of Governor Wilson in Kansas
insist he would have swept the state.
a few trained professional politicians
in state convention frequently
thwart the will of the majority Of the
people. The result in Kansas demon
strates the great need of presidential
primaries If the people are to rule.
Kansas was flooded with literature
calculated to promote Mr.. Clark's in
terests. Many false and scurrilous ar
ticles, in the main anonymous, against
Governor Wilson were circulated in al
most every precinct throughout that
state, but seemingly without effect.
The significant evidences Of Cover
nor Wilson'S strength in Oklahoma and
Kansas the united support which the
south will give him, his great populari-
~ in the New England states and the
nation wide growth of his strength.
significantly stamp him as the candt.
date who can win for the Democratic
party.
