The Green Forest tribune., 1912-07-05

the speakership of the house. If 1 have not entered into such an alliance, then the Democrat, however distin- guished. who wantonly charges me with this act, is a traitor to the Demo- cratic party and to his professed friendship to me.
 q am not here to plead for a nom- nation or attempt to influence any mans political action. Let every man proceed in this convention according to his convictions and the expressed will of his constituents. I ask no undue consideration from any man, be he friend or foe, but I demand ex- act justice from every Democrat either in this convention or throughout the nation. With William J. Bryan and his charge made in the convention the issue is proof or retraetion. shall expect him to meet that issue. (Signed) Champ Clark" Saturdays balloting follows: Thirteenth Ballot.
