BIG AND STRONG MAN
WHY SPEAKER CLARK is LOGICAL
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENCY.
Sound Reasons Advanced by Promi-
nent Democratic Organ Why He
Should Be Selected to Lead
Party to Victory in 1912.
Mew Orleans Iteml

Washington and New York believe
that the Democrats are going TO WIN
the presidency in the 1912 election.
Mr.. Roosevelt sidestepped the tari1
and passed it on to President Taft
and Mr.. Taft sealed his fate when he
signed the Payne-Aldrich bill and in
dorsed it as the best tariff measure the
country has known.
The DenDcrats came into control
Of the house Of representatives and
made Champ Clark speaker. Mr.. Clark
was able to organize the house OF rep
r~esentatives in such fashion that the
czarlike authority of the speaker was
delegated in great part to the rank
and file Of the house from which IT
should never have been taken.
1t requires a bigger nan and an
ADLER man to successfully head a legis-
lative body which has powers OF its
own than it does to act as an autocrat.
Mr., Clark successfully piloted the
house through a session that refunds
TO the credit of the Democratic party
and the country, who exercise author
ity and accomplish things never wholly
please anyone-but the average result
of the experience, brains and honesty
lis SUCCESS, and Mr.. Clark is in the for

tunate position of a man who has done
a hard job well.
The speakership Of the house of
representatives is the most important
position in our public life next to the
presidency. Mr.. Clark, therefore, comes
into direct and natural contrast with
Mr.. Taft. Both have absolute standing
among the people Of America for hon.
est intent in what they are doing. Taft
has succeeded in making a series of
blunders in handling men and in pass
ing on affairs. Clark has worked along
broad lines and has made a brilliant
success of the big work he has had
to do.
Since Clark was elected speaker, he
has been mentioned for the presi-
dency. No public man could fail to be
tlattered by the prospect Of the Demo-
cratic nomination. The speaker has
subordinated his personality and what
ambitions he may have to the good of
his party. He has sought. harmony in
the house of representatives, harmony
among the leaders of the party in the
country. He has steered the cause of
his party so as to render good serv-
ice to the country, and has sought to
make it sure that some Democrat will
wn rather than to insure the nomina-
ton for himself.
1t requires a big man and a strong
one to hold true to a position like this,
The speakership offers a thousand
chances for advertisement and for
political advancement If its holders
will but use it. Mr.. Clark has kept
himself In hand. His only important
public deliverance was his defense of
the Democratic majority in the house
against Mr.. Taft's charge that the
Democrats were playing politics. Mr..
Clark carried Off the honors | n this de-
bate.
The qualities of tried experience, of
personal eligibility, of conservatism
combined with honesty, will count in
Mr. .Clark's favor when the Democrats
meet in convention next year. The
speaker from the west. the
doubtful west. He knows Washington,
yet has not become of Washington as
Mr.. Taft is. He will beat Taft If nom.
mated against him, because LIE will
have the support of a united Democrat.
ic party and will draw strength from
the dissatisfied insurgent wing of the
Republican party.
Today Champ Clark is the really
consistent and logical candidate OF
national democracy.
Gov. Woodrow Wilson Of New Jer
sey is a brilliant man; but Just now he
seems too new. Harmon, on the 9th
er hand, seems too old. Beth are max

FOUNDER or RED CROSS DEAD
Miss Clara Barton, Most Widely
Known American Woman Of Her
Day, Called at Age Of 80.

Washington.-Miss Clara Barton,
founder of the American Red Cross
and probably the most widely known
American woman of her day, died at
her home, Red Cross, in Glen Echo,
Md, Friday morning at 9 O'Clock. She
was 80 years old.
Miss Barton suffered an attack Of
pneumonia in February, 1911, had a
relapse and the disease became
chronic
Miss Barton might properly be
called the Florence Nightingale OF
America. Like her British prototype
her works Of mercy were not confined
to her native land, but were carried
oven into the eastern hemisphere.
Miss Barton was 40 years Of age
when first she turned her attention
to the great works Of humanity which
have made her name famous. The
