OF Its most representative meetings.
Every local was represented by one
or more delegates, and there were
quite number of private members.
Consideration Of the Clemson schol-
arship matters, and trying to devise
the right plan to secure from this
county full representation on these
scholarships took up q considerable
part of the time.
IL was decided to recommend the
corn club boys who have reached IS
years for examination for the one-year
scholarships. but up To this writing.
Tuesday morning, the writer has
been unable to locate one Of that
age to nominate for one of the seven

report OF the committee to hold a
conference with the banks relative to
the marketing Of cotton. The COM

BRYAN AND MISSOURI.

Kansas City Journal: In former
years Missouri was regarded as the
most staunchly loyal Bryan state IN
the union. Bryan was the favorite
candidate Of the Missouri democrats
for the presidency and had no difficulty
| in getting instructed delegations from
! this state whenever he ran. Today ne
could not carry county In the state
for any Office whatsoever From Han
nibal to Joplin he is execrated and
| denounced as selfish demagogue
and traitor.
For the first time In a generation
Missouri this year had favorite son
! in the field for the presidency. He
was the strongest man in the race.
There were more instructed delegates
at baltimore for him than for any
other candidate. On nine separate
ballots he was given majority OF
The whole number Of votes Of the
convention. It was confidently be-
lieved that he would be nominated,
and be would have been had 1t not
been for the opposition OF one man
William J. Bryan.
Although not an avowed candidate
Mr.. Bryan went to Baltimore expect
ing to capture the nomination Tor
himself. He held to this purpose un.
til it became clear that it could not
be accomplished Then he determin-
ed to do the next best thing-show
Ibis power, He undertook to boss the
convention and make every candidate
and leader do his bidding and ne
very nearly succeeded. He demanded
Iof the candidates that they actively
support his efforts to defeat the ma
ltional committees choice for temper
Iary chairman. Wilson obeyed, Clark
declined. Thereupon, forgetting OF
disregarding the debt Of gratitude he
lowed Missouri for Its loyal support IN
the past, Bryan turned against CLARK
and succeeded In preventing his noml
nation, Notwithstanding that he was
clearly the choice Of majority OF the
convention.
By this selfish exhibition Of hif
personal power Mr.. Bryan achieved
q victory that was no doubt highly
fattering to his vanity, but it was wor
at the expense Of very large share
Of his popularity. Not only In Mis-
|souri but in a dozen other states
friendly to Clark the Nebraskan's
name today is an anathema. And the
penalty will be paid in November wher
rBryan's candidate Wilson asks these
cheated and outraged democrats tc
cast their ballots for him for the presi
dency. II the national campaign man
ayers are wise, they will require Bry
an to do his stumping elsewhere thar
lin Missouri this year.
