St. Louis, october S.--Speaher thdhnp Clark and Gov. Woodrow Wilson cam paigned together today in Illinois and Missouri. the two states which showed preference for MT. Clark by heavy vote in the primaries for the democratic presidential nomination.
 Enthusiasm marked the greeting the two men received as they appeared in several cities.
 "The office of President of the United States is the greatest in the world - Speaker Clark said at Springfield, Ill. That's why l wanted to be President. l don't have to tell this audience that Woodrow Wilson was not my first choice. My first choice was defeated. However, I am now for Governor Wilson for the presidency as every true democrat ought to be-" The governor and Speaker Clark shook hands amid great cheers.
 Respect Taft and T. K.
 My thought about both MT. Taft and MT. Roosevelt" the governor said in his speech at the fair grounds is that of en- tire respect, but those gentlemen have been so intimately associated with the powers that have been determining the policy of this government for almost a generation that they cannot look after the affairs of the United States with the view of a new age and a changed set of cir- cumstances Their thought is in close habitual association with those who have framed the protective tariff, have devel- oped the trusts. have co-ordinated and ordered all the economic forces of this country In such fashion that nothing but an outside force breaking in can disturb A. tf..Al Hhsr. Aff.4&s. the dsmocfndc party stants Up in the presence of these gentlemen and says;
 We are not denying your integrity, we are not denying your purpose, but the thought of the people of the United States has not yet penetrated to your consciousness. You are willing to act for the people, but you are not willing to act through the people.
 On the train from Springfield to st.. Louis en route to Chicago there was a host of democratic leaders. The gov ernor's party never was so large be- fore.
 The governor at Springfield, Ill. laid a wreath on the tomb of Lincoln. He was accompanied to the tomb by the mem bers of the supreme court of Illinois.
 The governor and his party reached St. Louis late today. After a motor ride to East St. Louis and brief speech the governor went to the banquet of the Dem ocratic Editorial association of Missouri and then to the coliseum for big meeting
 Comrades, Not Rivals
 "Mr Clark and are not rivals; we are comrades" Governor Wilson said at the banquet of the democratic editors of Missouri tonight He had been introduced by the toastmaster as having been a ''rival' of MT. Clark's.
 'T feel infinitely strengthened in hay- ing the counsel and experience of such men as be- the governor said
 The presidential nominee referred in his speech to the revelations of the Clapp committee in Washington.
 You have not been taken by surprise by these revelations, he said. There is nothing in them that you did not know before, except the detail. You knew that the great interests were contributing to the success of the republican party. l dare say corporations have contributed to the democratic funds, but never with the same expectation with which they have contributed to the republican funds.
 You have known always that the big interests of this country have supported the republican party with the expecta- ton that the republican party would take care of them. That is the system, with big s, by which the republican party has been maintained. It Is the accepted and acknowledged fact.
 Must Break Partnership
 Now, we are face to face to this prob lem: How can a party saddled with this system govern the country? There is no problem that can be solved unless this partnership is broken up.'
 Iovernor Wilson's reception In St. Louis was almost continuous demonstration in the halls where he spoke and In the streets where thousands with torchlishts and in campaign garp paraded. The Coli scum was crowded to the doors. In ap- plause and noise. it was the longest dem onstration the nominee had received.
 "If the enthusiasm shown over the country is as great as it is here, Speaker Clark said, Governor Wilson would be elected President hands down
 The governors voice was so far spent that he hardly could be heard and many people began to leave the hall. It was with difficulty that the police maintained a semblance of order.
 The governor made every effort to reach his audience but his voice failed him. He cut short his speech discussing the trust question. He left for Chicago. where he will speak tomorrow.
