In my opinion" said Mr.. George,
"the democrats are going to win the
presidency on the issue of the tariff
and the high cost of living which is
the result of the tariff Democratic
voters know who began the fight TO
reduce the cost of living; they know
it was Champ Clark of Missouri That
is why Speaker Clark has won in
every state where a presidential pref
erence primary has been held; thas
is why Clark would carry New York
over any man the republicans may
name"

the democrats in November if Champ

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, June with the date
of the Baltimore convention drawing
near, members of congress in both
houses are beginning to discuss the
Availability" of candidates for the
democratic nomination. The shifting
sentiment in the republican ranks
which makes it impossible to predict
the winner of the Chicago convention
is causing leading democratic members
of the house and senate TO consider
seriously who among the men running
for the democratic nomination would
prove strongest against the republican
nominee whoever he may be. PartiCu-
larIy is this question interesting the
members from pivotal states-states
that it will be necessary for the dem
ocracy to carry if victory is to come
in November. There seems to be no
dissenting voice among many of the
/ leading democrats in the house who
represent the sO-caIled doubtful states
that Speaker Clark would be by far
D
out that the present strong position
Of the democratic party is due solely
| to the splendid record of the democrats
I in the siXty-first congress and their
record since they became a majority.
I The consensus of opinion is that to
/ Speaker Clark more than to any other
democrat is due the success of the
party in the congressional campaign
of 1910, and it is further emphasized
that he more than anyone else has har-
monized and held together the once
/ discordant democracy until now it is
united and victorious If the democrats
are to elect a president OF the United
I States, it must be upon the record
of the democratic house, leading demo
! Gratis from these pivotal" states as
sert, and the record OF the democratic
! house is the record of Champ Clark.
( Expressions from numerous mem
I bers Of the house as to the available
ity Of candidates for the democratic
nomination were had today.
+ Said Representative Fowler Of iii
nois:
The democrats Of the house are
agreed that We must make our cam
paign this year upon the record OF the
democratic congress. Champ Clark
made this record possible. It is a
record Of progress that has astonished
the country. He can carry every state
that is labeled doubtful against any
man the republicans may nominate
have no doubt that Clark can carry
Illinois, if nominated, and l have NJ

DR. HARVEY WILEY

After faithful service of twenty
nine years in the position OF Chl"l
of the Bureau Of Chemistry, IN TN"
National Department of Agriculture
DR.. Harvey Wiley has resigned. IN"
Nations eye had rested with som"
decree to security on DR.. Wiley, who
was regarded as the guardian ana
Intermediary between the conSum-
ers and the adulteratOrs OF loodS
and of products which are manu-
featured and sold by INSCRIPTIONS
money getters.
The resignation Of DR.. Wiley IS
acclaimed with rejoicing by the lndl-
yiduals and the concerns who would
profit from this adulteratlon, but
whose attempt at persuasion and
at cajoling were all in vain.
It is said that DR.. Wiley is a
crank which he should esteem as
compliment and in his case may
be Interpreted as a recognition Of
his fearlessness and his integrity.
His reason for resigning is stated
in his words as quoted:
"One by one I found that the &C
tivities pertaining to the Bureau OF
Chemistry were restricted and va
ious forms Of manipulated food pro
ducts were Withdrawn from cOnsid-
GRAFTON, and referred either to other
bodies not contemplated by the law,
or directly relieved from further
control. The official liberation and
valuation of such practices have
restricted the activities of the Blu
reau of Chemistry to very narrow
field, as a result of which | have
been instructed to refrain from stat
ing in any public way my opinion re-
garding the effect of these substan-
ces upon health. This restriction
has interferred with my academic
freedom of speech on matters relat-
ing to the public welfare"
Who is going to be the informed
isry between the consumers and the
adulterators of food products2
Are these money gelters, regard
less of the general welfare of the
people, SO powerful that they can
snap their fingers at the Govern
ment of the United States.
IL is about time there was an
awkening.
