Some of the country papers, sup

Clark's Bitterness Against Bryan.

According to the New Orleans
States, Speaker Clark entertains an
iInplacable hatred of William J
Bryan, which is not surprising, but
is not in the least hurting him nor
causing him to lose sleep. If Bryan
had not, at the right moment in the
Baltimore Convention, deficd the
combine of the political Bosses and
exposed their scheme, Clark would
have been nominated for the presi-
ldcncy. but his defeat before the
people would have been over
whelminG. AS says the States:
In the light of recent events
there is nothing quite so plain as
that the country would have reject
ed Clark, for he could never have
enlisted the sentiment that swept
Wilson into victory.
"Speaker Clark may regard Bryan
with bitterness for having deprived
him of the nomination, but when he
accuses the Nebraskan of keeping
him from the White House he goes
90 far, for had he received the
nomination he would now have
,een among the dead and down po-
litical timber. But while this is true
Hc do not credit the story that
speaker Clark will protest against
the appointment of Bryan to a Cab
met position, because we do not be
itvc ne is the sort of man who will
allow a personal grievance 10 make
aim forget his duty to his party"
But should Clark in his madness
protest, what will it avail? ClaI X
would only be ridiculed, and he
would discrcdit himself.
The Democracy of the Nation IS
indebted to Bryan for the nominal
ion Of Governor Wilson. Without
Wilson the Roosevelt parry would
nave overwhelmed the Democracy
n defeat, and this is as plain to
common sense men as Clark's nose
s on his face.

Mr.. Conant referred to the pressure
of population upon food supply and
the necessity of increasing the area
of cultivated land by improved methods
of extending credit to the farmer. He
pointed out that bitter experience had
proved projects for issuing money upon
land to be unsound, but that europe
had solved the problem of the ready
transferability of mortgage loans and
low rates of interest to the borrower
by taking leaf from the experience OF

the other from Charles A Conant, OF

Discussions as to plans for extend

possible that the convention will take
official action in asking that the gov

view of introducing more agriculture
courses into schools and attempting to
place scientific farming on higher
