section. In his campaign. he has re-
manned quietly at his post Of duty. He
has not Afforded the spectacle Of a
Presidential candidate DANGEROUSLY
parading the country with brass bands
and red lights, soliciting votes.
His campaign has been made by
the people for him. 1t has been con-
Quoted almost without money and
without organization. He counts in
his column substantially all of the del
egates of twenty-five sovereign States
His popularity has swept across the
sea, and he will be supported here on
every ballot by substantially all of the
delegates from the territorial and in
sular possessions.
"He carried his own State by a un-
animous vote. He carried every
state touching it's borders with the
home states of his distinguished op-
oppontnts. He carried almost solidly
that great domain known as the Mid
die West. With two exceptions he
swept all states west of the Rocky
mountains.
81 have said he carried these states:
let me rather say, the loyal Demo
cracy that has never faltered, that has
with unwavering allegiance followed
the flag, carried them for him.
What are the great issues upon
which we must fight the battle of
1912 1t is not upon the record made
by the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives? That record is a story
OF achievement, of promises redeemed,
and pledges kept; of patient, wise,
brave craftsmanship.
81 would not detract hairs weight
from the honors due to all Democratic
Congressman. l would not pluck a
single leaf from the brow of the pres
ent great majority leader I give to
all due need of praise. But yet say
here is the real leader. He is the
man who most of all has borne the
burdens and responsibilities, whose
counsel has guided, who pointed the
way; whose keen intellect, superb
courage, and mastery generalship
have forged the force which has been
driven like a wedge through the body
of the Republican party and split 1t
asunder.
1.-THE army of the Democracy is
forming in battle array. The sun of
hope glorifies the horizon of the flu
ture and sheds its splendor upon our
banners. Above us bends the myriad
hued bow of promise We have been
led to the very gates of success by a
veteran grown gray in the service
Let him continue to lead, and the eel
estial bow will become an arch OF
triumph, beneath which Democracy
will march in glorious victory.
"And so nominate this man, who
has fought a thousand battles for
Democracy and not one against her;
who has never lowered his flag or ask
ed for quarter; who has never deserted
or taken a furlongh; who does moi
know how to quit friend or betray
a party; whose back the enemy has
never seen, but whose breast is GOV
cred with the scars of many hard
campaign; who leads today and who
should continue to lead--the Lion o.
Democracy, Champ Clark of Missouri.

til their shadow covers all the land.
Roosevelt's policies in all their funda-
mentals have been perpetuated by
Taft. If either is elected, these pol
icies will continue
1.-The situation is epic. In such
struggle as lies before us, give me
for a leader no summer soldier or
sunshine patriot Give me no politi-
cal diletanti, who comes into camp
when honors are most ripe to pluclz
| want no half-fedged chanticleer who
is only just beginning to acquire a
Democratic crow. Let me rather
have for general him who has suffer-
ed the hardships of the camp, the tolls
Of the march, the dangers of the field;
who has stood at the bloody angle;
who has proven his mettle in the bap-
tism of fire.
Let me tell you of such a leader.
He was not born to luxury. He sprung
from that stock which produced the
men who subdued the West, the peo-
pie whose hearts are instinct with
patriotic love of country and liberty.
1--WE hear much today of Progress
sives. The term has perhaps never
been clearly defined. But if you mean
by progressive one who studies con-
ditions, and recognizing an evil, brave
ly seeks for and applies remedy,
then I assert this man has a record
unsurpassed.
He does not cling to thing SIM
ply because it is hoary with age.
Neither will he embrace one because
1t is new. He is conservative enough
to believe that nothing should be de-
troyed merely because it has lasted
long time. He is progressive enough
not to reject an idea simply because
it is not covered with the mildew OF
antiquity.
"Twenty-four years ago he placed
upon the statute books of his State
a law guarding the secrets of the bal
lot.
"He advocated the direct primary
system twenty years ago; and applied
| ii in this congressional district.
at is thirteen years since he con
tended for the enactment of the mosl
rigid corrupt practice act to be found
upon the statute books.
Five years ago he advocated the
initiative and referendum in his owl
State. He was not, as some Others
are, disturbed lest the people should
destroy themselves
"As early as 1885 he declared fol
the direct election of Senators. Five
times has he voted for that measure
and for years in Congress has beer
its distinguished advocate.
During all of his long public ser
vice, he has been one of the mos
valient champions of tariff reform.

BLAMES WOMAN FOR
 HIGH LIVING COST

KANSAS CITY, Mo- April 23.- The cause of all this clamor about the high cost of foodstuffs lies in the fact hat women pay more al tention to bargain counter sales in the dry goods stores han 10 the grocery storeS'
 That is the conclusion of Miss Grace Ferguson, domestic science teacher at the Central Higl School. who directed a score coed wait resses, serving 14S persons that wis tied the school yesterday to see a l2-cent meal.
 Women do not search after sales in food produc S." Miss Ferguson said today. They take it for grant ed because one thing is high-priced every hing is. So they sigh over the telephones and tell the grocer that they guess they'n take that. And that is always higher than something else equally palatable and nutritious. The average woman is too content to let the groceryman prepare the menu for her. Laziness is not the least of the evils attend ing this high cost cry"
 Here is what the sch -olgirls serv- ed: BOuillOn WaferS veal loaf cream potatoes, cranberry jelly, pickles, bis cults. butter, cabbage salad. cheese sticks, sponge cake, whipped cream and coffee.
 Do not think that family of four could have a meal like this for F cents head said Miss Fergu- son, for l purchased this in larger quantities. The same meal for ur would cost 9 cents or possibly 20 cents per plate"

BULLDOGS BRUSQUE
 WAYS BEAT BURGLAR

SAN FRANCISCO. April 29.-For ! m re than ten minutes a burglar. no had attempted to cnter a saloon on The waterfront by lowering him self by a rope from tie end of his rope with a bulldog attached to his rOusers.
 Time and lime again he tried to pull himself up the r,pe and ger away, but the bulldog had too strong hold on his garments To jump to the floor meant that he would be al the further mercy of the dog, so the burglar remained in his precari- ous D sition until policeman came to his rescue. He submitted to ar rest with a sigh of relief.
 lhe proprietor closed his saloon in early morning and, as is his usual custom, he left his watchdog in the place. An hour later the burglar climbed up the roof, opened the skylight and fastened 70 it a piece of knotted rope. He lowered himself to the end and was about to drop to he floor, when the bulldog sprang at h~m. The dog bi, into his trous- CTS seat and hung to him like leech
 The burglar kicked and squirmed. but he could not make the dog re- leasae his hold Then came a po- liCeman, who had been attracted by the mans cries. It was with diff culty that he dog was made to let go and then he did it with a mouth full of the burglars cloth held in his teeth. The burglar gave the name of Bjor Knobson and said he was a sailor.
