MANY DELEGATES
FOR CHAMP CLARK
His Bureau Claims for Him More
Than ALI Other Candidates
Combined.

The Champ Clark bureau announced
last night that thus far five States have
held conventions, with q total of rs
elected delegates to the national conven-
ton. and added:
The fact that Speaker Clark has six
ty-siS instructed delegates, more than
all other candidates combined, is evil
dence, Mr.. Clark's friends say that the
Speaker is the strongest of any Demo-
cratic candidate to-day. They believe
that he will continue to grow In strength,
basing their opinion upon the assurances
of Democratic leaders in every State in
the Union The fact that Maine on
Tuesday voted to send an uninstructed
delegation to Baltimore. and that Of the
fourteen delegates chosen several have
indicated that Speaker Clark is their
preference. Is an evidence, Mr.. Clarks
manager says, that the Speaker is grow
ing in that part OF the country as well
as in every other section"
kilograms received from Iowa at Clark
headquarters yesterday convey the in
formation that Pocahontas and Page
counties, with fifteen delegates, have in
structed for Clark. Up to date lse dele
gates to the Iowa State convention have
been chosen, and of this number 147 have
been instructed to vote for Clark dele
gates 10 the national convention. Iowa's
twenty-six votes in the national conyen-
tion will be cast for Speaker Clark
Arkansas will hold it's primaries on the
9th, and II is said that there is no rea-
sonable doubt that the Speaker win carry
the State without serious opposition.

SAYS Mr.. BRYAN
DEFIES The LAW
Senator Hitchcock Makes Sharp
Criticism Of Nebraskan's
Declaration.

In reply to Bryan's latest attack upon
Gov. Harmon as Presidential candidate,
Senator Hitchcock. of Nebraska, yester-
day said:
Il regard Mr.. Bryan's statement as an
attack to repudiate the new Nebraska
direct primary election law. That law
provides that the Democrats of the State
shall elect four delegates-at-large and
instruct them whom to vote for as can
didate for President in the national con-
vention. 1 expect to abide by that law.
II Champ Clark has the most votes,
shall vote for him and support him Wig
orously to the end. II Gov. Wilson has
the most votes in the Nebraska primaries,
shall vote for him and support him to
the end. II Gov. Harmon has the most
votes in the primary. shall vote for him
and support him to the end.
THAT is the letter and the spirit of
the law. 1t seems the rule of the people.
1t permits voters to instruct their rep
resentatiyes in the convention. Mr..
Bryan's statement is a defiance of the
law. He announces that under no cir
cumstances viii he support Gov. Harmon,
even II he receives the largest vote in
the Democratic primary. He even threat
ems that he will not go to the convention
as a delegate if Harmon carries the pri-
maries, but win then resign Md go to
IIle COnNSHliOn as u private clIizen 10 al
tempt to defeat Harmon's nomination. /
regard this as dictation. II is an at
tempt to overthrow the primary law for
which Mr.. Bryan and / both worked. 1t
is an attempt by threat to reassert the
old doctrine Of the party boss.
Il am frank TO tell the voters that
my personal preference is Gov. Harmon,
but II elected as delegate shall con-
scientiously and heartily support the man
the Democrats Of Nebraska prefer.
THE assertion made by Mr.. Bryan that
Harmon has the support of Wall street
is utterly without proof or foundation. so
far as / know. Whenever Mr.. Bryan Is
opposed to q man. he first assumes and
then asserts that Wall street Is for that
man. Certainly Wall street has no rea-
son to be for Harmon. AS governor of
Ohio. Harmon has shifted S3.oo0,000 of
taxes year of the people onto the rail-
roads. which are largely owned BY Wall
street interests"

TO SETTLE STRIKE
BY MEDIATION
Amendment to Erdman Law Will
Be Passed by the
House.

The Lee bill. extending the provisions
OF the Erdman act TO troubles between
coal operators and their employees. will
undoubtedly be passed by the House
According to Representative Lee. author
of the bill. the President approves the
measure. and hopes 1t will be passed in
time TO be applied to the present situation
in the coal field.
The Erdman act in its present form
provides a means OF adjusting difficulties
between railroads and railroad employees.
II has been invoked on a number OF occa-
sions. with the result that railroad strikes
have been averted. The Lee bill was
introduced early last week. Representa-
tive Lee discussed the terms Of the meas
ure with the President, who. according
to Mr.. Lee, said that he approved the
proposed law, and hoped that II would be
passed without delay.
Some question has been raised as to
the constitutionality of the Lee bin. 1t
is urged that the business of coal mining
does not come within the powers OF Con-
gress, as provided by the commerce
clause OF the Constitution. Nevertheless
the House committee has practically de-
cided to ignore this objection, believing
that the Lee bill will stand the test Of
judicial procedure.

CLAIM DELEGATES
AGAINST mr.. TAFT
Roosevelt Bureau Insists that It's
Candidate Leads in Repub-
lican States. a

The national Roosevelt committee is-
sued q statement last night showing that
in Republican States the delegates were
not for Mr.. Taft. The election in North
Dakota is cited and, the statement con-
tinues:
Five OF the seven Congressional dis
tricts which selected delegates last week
are in States to which the Republican
party must turn for Its support II it is
TO win In November. The other two are
in Southern States, which have never
yet cast a single Republican electoral
vote since the days Of reconstruction.
OF these five districts. the first was the
Second Oklahoma, which instructed its
two delegates for Col. Roosevelt. The
next was the Seventh Michigan. where
the Taft people were defeated In a stren-
uous effort to secure the instruction OF
the delegates for Taft. The third was
the Fourteenth Missouri where the
Roosevelt men controlled overwhelmingly
and instructed their delegates for Roose-
velt"

quarters yesterday afternoon from Put

maries held there on Friday for the cleo
ton OF delegates to the convention OF

CHARGE ROOSEVELT
WITH BAD FAITH
Senator La Follette's Manager
Makes Public His Side of
the Controversy.

In a letter to ellison Gardner, a news
paper correspondent. made public yes-
terday, Mr.. Walter l. Houser, Senator
La FoIlette's campaign manager. again
asserts that Mr.. La Toilette was en-
couraged to run as a progressive candi-
date for the Presidential nomination by
Col Roosevelt, and that the latter did
not step into the race until II was GER
tain that the progressive movement had
developed into a formidable menace to
President Taft.
In his letter Mr.. Houser says:
You said that Roosevelt declared that
he could not be a candidate; that his
place in history was made; that he
could not afford TO take a defeat, and
that whoever made the fight was GER
tain to be defeated for nomination, and
for election IL nominated; that this was
a Democratic year; that La Toilette
would not be injured by defeat; that
there should be a candidate representing
the progressive movement; that La Fol-
Iette was the logical man, and that II
he decided to make the fight he should
announce his candidacy at once.
That Roosevelt encouraged La Fol-
lette to become a candidate you cannot
deny. That he promised to do what he
could by directing attention in the COL
umns of the outlook or otherwise to the
work accomplished by Senator La Fol-
lette in Wisconsin is admitted by your
self and Mr.. Pinchot. Can you say that
such promise would be no encourage
ment to a man who was being urged to
lead a fight? It would speak little for
the influence of Col Roosevelt IL his
promise TO help should not be regarded
as encouragement"
In conclusion. Mr.. Houser invites at
Roosevelt and Messrs. George W. Per-
kins, Dan r. Hanna, Frank A. Munsey,
and other persons largely interested in
the steel trust, and says that IL Roose-
welt should be nominated and elected he
would be dominated by these interests.

PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE.
House Committee Agrees to Report
Representative Jones' Bill.

Independence for the Philippines was
practically assured so far as the House
is concerned yesterday when the Insular
Affairs Committee agreed to report the
bill of Representative Jones. OF Virginia,
establishing an independent government
in the islands.
Representative Jones declared that he
has been assured by the House leaders
that his bill. WHICH follows the pledge
in the last Democratic national platform.
will receive consideration. He will at
tempt to bring IL before the Democratic
caucus and make 1t a party measure.
The bill provides for a qualified in
dependence for the islands beginning 1913.
From that year until Ig21 1t would give
the President the veto power over the
acts of the Philippine congress, modelled
after the American body. In 1921 the
bin would assure absolute independence.
1t is acknowledged that nothing will
come from the bill except that the Dem
ocrats Will show their disposition to
make good on a campaign promise.

senator Jones NOte an uncertain
Factor ini the Case.
Senator Jones, of Washington, is cred
tied with holding the balance OF power
in the Senate committee that Investigated
the charges against Senator Lorimer, of
Illinois. and there is much speculation
in Senate circles as to how Senator Jones
will vote when the first test of strength
is taken next week. There are eight
members of the committee -Four of them
are believed to favor Senator Lorimer,
and three of them are counted squarely
against him. Senator Jones' position Is
unknown. He has never Indicated his
attitude. and though he voted against
Lorimer in the senate year ago there
is doubt as to how he will In the
COMMITTEES next week.
The pro-Lorimer Senators are supposed
to be Senators Dillingham;. OF Vermont;
Johnston. OF Alabama: Gamble, or South
Dakota; Fletcher, Of Floric8 The Sem
ators counted certainly against Lorimer
are Senators Kenyon. OF Iowa; Kern. Of
Indiana, and Lea, Of Tennessee.
II Senator Jones votes to vindicate
LorImer. the vote In the committee Will
stand five to three for the Senator. and
II he votes against Borimer the vote

WILL DEBATE TEN DAYS.
Discussion of the Wool Bill Is Not
to BE Limited.

Chairman Oscar Underwood. OF the
House Ways and Means Committee. and
Representative Hill. of Connecticut. have
reached an agreement to allow full de-
bate on the substitute wool measure
drawn up by the minority members of
the House Ways and Means Committee,
and the Payne forces.
During the consideration Of the steel
schedule and the sugar bill. the Repub-
licans complained that the Democrats
were unduly limiting debate on the Re-
publican amendments.
After a conference between Underwood
and Hill, however. It was made public
yesterday that the Democrats recognize
that the minority wool bill substitute is
different from an amendment. and are
willing to let the Republicans debate
their measure fully. as long as the DEM
ocrats win have q full opportunity to
discuss their party measure.
II is said that under this arrangement
the debate on the wool bin win continue
for at least ten days. and that II will
probably be called before the House next
Thursday.
