governor Wilson of New Jersey

and Congressman Champ Clark
of Missouri are admittedly the
strongest candidates for h {
Democratic Nomination. The
best informed political writer's and
thinkers admit the former to be
the strongest before the people at
the present time but many con
tend that the Clark sentiment is
increasing. Last week we pre-
scented in btief our reason for
thinking Governor Wilson the
most available candidate. 1t would
not therefore seem out of place at
this time 10 set forth some of the
apparent weaknesses of the Mis-
sOUrian.
The much exploited increase IF
strength is not the least Of these.
To one who has followed the
trend of events, it is apparent
shat Clark is Inheriting the
strength of Governor Harmon
who seems to have failed to show
any great popularity with the
masses. Tits following is essen
TALLY composed of the conserva
tive element. a fact that will not
increase his chances of election in
even of nomination because the
people are radical these DAYS.
Not wild eyed, tear hair socialists
by any means but restless under
present conditions and looking tor
something different and better
and this progressive element who
place the man above party align
ment, and NOT the Regulars" will
hold the balance of power in Sc
lectine the next occupant Of the
Willie house.
Con parisOn ofrelative capacity
is also against Clark. As a man
o! trained, studious mind. classi
cal as speaker and with a great
individuality Mr.. Wilson takes
precedence over Clark who is ap
propriatelv described by the New
York World as typical polititian
whose nomination would mean
Democratic suicide.
Probably the greatest objection
to MIR. Clark's nomination, from a
tactical standpoint, is Lis lack of
strength in sections necessary to
be carried. In the last election
MIR. Bryan needed O. additional
votes 10 win. Giving the nominee
this time Missouri and Arizona in
addition to those carried by Mr..
Bryan II will still be needed and
they, or majority of them. must
come from New York or New
Jersey or else more Western
States must go Democratic than
ever before. 1t IS safe to say that
Wilson will be sure of New Jersey
and will be stronger in New York
than Clark. The conclusion that
ne IS the more available candidate
is inevitable.
Ii should surely be the desire of
every true Democrat to see the
sire ng est man nominated (provid
ed he be a good MANI ahc with
that idea in view we have written
these two editorials hoping in a
small way TO give our people ad
.ditional light upor the subject.

Claimed Mrs.
DeImar Is Alive.

Woonsocket, r. T., July 10-Rumors
that Mrs. Angelo Parmentier- Delmar is
alive and would be produced in court,
next Saturday, at the trial of Henri
DesLouvre for. the crime, led Detective
Sergeant John T. Sutton to offer a re-
ward of $500, today, to anyone who would
produce the woman alive. The police are
firm in the belief that the headless body
recovered from the Blackstone river is
that of the woman who was DesLouvre' s
housekeeper, but the attorneys for the
defendant claim that there is no con-
elusive evidence to prove the identity of
the body.
The prosecution is expected to ask for
a continuance when the case is brought
into court. next Saturday. This move the
defence will oppose. Archambault and
Jalbert, the defendants counsel, stated,
today that they had secured additional
evidence in Lawrence and New Bedford,
Mass, where the woman had friends.
