If CLARK SHOULD WIN.

New York Globe-It will be most I'M
fortunate for the democratic party If
it's nomination goes to Clark. 1T will
show again the party's ability to
blunder. Mr. Clark is man of per
sonal amiability, but he is as loose OF
mind as he has been of mouth. what
he would do as president no one could
foretell. AS speaker he has been un-
der the control of group of younger
men and he has been steered straight.
In the white house it is probable he
would be easy for the interests.
Hearst would probably be among the
first to repudiate and denounce him, al
though, if Clark is nominated it will
be largely due to Hearst.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION:

- Il = >
William Randolph Hearst. who has
heen hacking Mayor Carter Harrison
IN an attempt to GUST Roger Sullivan
from control Of the democratic ma
chinery in Chicago, sent the star OF
the Hearst establishment, Arthur
brisbane, out to Chicago to stir them
M. Arthur stirred them. Conse-
: nuently when the Cook county demo-
cratic convention assembled. yester-
dav 81 required section of the Illinois
national guard and the bulk Of the Chi
ca9o police department to add that
harmonious setting which Mr.. Hearst
believes Is SO necessary In one OF mis-
conventions. The Sullivan forces had
the militia and the Hearst-Harrison
forces had the cops, who we're fort1-
fled with instructions to, throw the
guardsmen through the windows II
they got chesty. The ambulance corps
was called out as precautionary
measure, but the services OF the M.
DIS were not necessary, for the militia
officers had the good sense to make no
resistance when the police battered
down the doors and seated the Hearst
Harrison delegates.
OF course, it is none Of our business
how the Chicago democrats settie
their family quarrels, but we are sure
we may be pardoned for suggesting
that 1t is stretching political quarrels
too far when the police are turned
against the militia and the courts are
utilized to aid the INSCRIPTIONS plans
of politicians seeking leadership.
Such situation might easily have
reached the point Of tragedy, and evil
IDENTIFY it was no fault of the rival lead
ers that there was not riot and blood
shed.
The events here chronicled give
striking evidence of two very patent
facts. The first is that Illinois in gen
eral and Chicago in particular have
gone crazy over politics. The second
is that the much Wanted democratic
"harmony' this year is more or less OF
\ delusion and a snare. &.

THE TITANIC DISASTER.

Additional reports of the sinking OF
the White Star liner Titanic show tnls
to be the greatest tragedy OF marine
history. Wireless reports received
Yesterday indicated that all the pas
seneers had been transferred to other
steamers and that the Titanic was De-
Ing lowed into port. The hopeful feel-
ing that all lives would be saved was
fortified by statements from oillcers
Of the steamship company that II was
impossible for the Titanic TO SINK.
Then came the tragic story over tne
wires of the sinking OF the Iltahlc
hours before the ships hurrylng 10 hes

less than half the passengers VINO
were put off in the ships life ooats.

The list of the survivors is made up
largely of women and children. only

vailing in the democratic party

Gratis are giving some beautiful evi,
dences of harmony this year. For in
stance over in Chicago both demo
cratic factions were so intent on har.
mony that one side called out the
militia and the other side the Chicago
police force to preserve it. The ex'
change of sentiments between Bryan
and Harmon, Hearst and Wilson,
Roger Sullivan and Carter Harrison,
the Iowa Clark boomers and the Iowa
Wilson boomers these are indlca
tive of a desire on the part or the
democrats to get beyond the stage OF
unity and go into a clincn.

combinations marked on the presiden
tial and delegate ballots were actual
" funny in some instances. A large
number would vote for d certain per
son for president and then mark the
names of the delegate for the other
man. It is very evident that there
were many who did not understand
the delegate ballot and simply mark
ed it because it was there to mark.
Some even went to the trouble Of
marking all the names on the dele
gate ballot. One man voted for B..
n. Goggins for Vice President and
also for District delegate. Those were
all the marks on the ballot. Who
ever marked that ballot was evident
