err Champ Clark today has twenty-six
additional delegates to the Baltimore
convention, increasing the possible
claim of his campaign managers
from 431 to 457. The entire delega-
ton from Kentucky was pledged to
him by the state democratic conven-
ton late yesterday.
The only contest was for conven-
ton control between Governor Nc.
Creary and Senator Ollie James, and
the governor was victorious in his
election as temporary chairman
The factions of both McCreary and
James were pledged to Clark.
Did Senator Elect Ollie James dig
his own political grave when he nom
mated himself for temporary chair

The old record was 1:14:29 made by
Tetzlaff in Lnzier at Los Angeles
on March 10, 1911.

In hat organization, the conse-

\ plain that Roosevelt is the prefer

fact that the reactionaries have had

however, the peoples will has been
disregarded and the men on the
committee had packed the conyen-

they serve, which we all know to be
the trusts and the special interests,
Roosevelt and the people have

body of men. A choice is left be

carry out their program this year,
with the knowledge that with the
new national committeeman elected
by the various state delegations this
year, another convention will be in
entirely different hands, or to bolt the
present convention and organize an
independent party along progressive
lines that will appeal to the great
independent voters of the country
regardless of what party they are
now affiliated with.
1t seems that Roosevelt has chos-
