HUTCHINSON. Kan. March H. Kansas joined hands with Missouri today in the support of the candi- dacy of Champ Clark for the demo- cratic presidential nomination.

If il becomes evident to tWo-thirds of the delegation that Clark cannot be nominated. the dele gates are instructed to cast heir votes for Wilson as scconc choice.
 Although the Clark men had safe majority all the time on the floor of the convention, they met with stub bern opposition in the committee on resolutions. where the motion was put through. The Clark resolution later adopted by the convention failed of passage by a tie vote. The same tie in the committee prevented the Wilson men from getting through a resolution for an uninstructed delega- ton. Thus the fight was thrown to the convention floor. The convention endorsed Norman r. Mack for na- tional chairman and instructed the delegation to vote for his re- e-elecion at Baltimore. W. r. Sapp Of Galena was unanimously reelected national committeeman for Kansas. Delegates at large are E. Sheridan Of Paoli A. NJ. Jackson of Winfield. F. S Gaitskiu of Girard. II. L. Martin Of Marion.
