DOG SAVES DAY FOR CLARK
Stray Hound Swings Vote at Critical
Stage.

lola, Kan, March GA sad eyed,
stray "houn' dawg" saved the day for
Champ Clark in the Allen county
Democratic convention here. Dele
gates were about to be named to the
Democratic state convention at Hutch
inson next week. There had been a
spirited fight between Wilson and
Clark supporters all day, with the con.
vention evenly divided.
A resolution to instruct the delega-
ton for Clark was suddenly intro
duced, when F. III. Forrest, an attor-
ney, made an impassioned plea to sub
stitute the name of Bryan for both
Clark and Wilson. He swept the con
vention and the substitute was on the
verge of carrying. In drifted the
hound and the crowd showed and
trampled on him, and he yelped.
Somebody shouted, you gotta quit
kickin' my dawg aroun'," and in few
minutes the delegates were stampeded
A motion was put to instruct the
seven delegates for Clark and car
ried with rousing cheer.

expectation that when the right Of
