Now, In conclusion, I want to reiterAte that
the Wilson Club at its meeting last Thursday
passed resolution esAGs' Z En-
paper purporting TO be the action OF that Club
and to verify my statement, herewith attach
a letter from VIM. 7. Stockton, Secretary OF
that Club; also a letter from Claude L'Engle,
wherein he acknowledges that his article was
untrue and OF his own makeup. He told me
this morning that he did 1t Of his own voh-
placed upon the matter than that he did so
because I had told him N emphatic words
that / could not support man Of his eali6er
10 represent this State in the halls OF the Ma
tional Capitol. The Wilson Club came to the
conclusion at its Thursday meeting that It was
best to let every member stand upon his own
bottom, refusing to endorse anybody. At that
time I offered to withdraw Il the Club thought
best. There was not a man present that did
not think that it would be wrong thing TO do
and urged that / continue on the ticket.
will say right here that if I am elected, I shall
so to Baltimore and do everything in my
power for the nomination of Wilson. In the
event that Mr.. Wilson cannot be nominated,
I shall then vote for the man who at that
date that the Democracy can offer. At this
time, feeling that Champ Clark being my sec
oad choice, but ] will not be hidebound to
Mr.. CLARK and shall never desert Mr.. Wilson
as long as he lie in the race for feel that he
is today the greatest exponent Of progressive
Democracy, and know, from my travelings
confidence Of the people in that part OF the
world: that one Of his strongest characteristics
as shown By his actions as Governor Of the
is man that does his q own Vi' thinking; that
he is not dictated to by fixed rings, or party
bosses He Is exceedingly strong in upper
New York State, where / have resided for
the past nine years about five months each

Of party bosses My opinion today being that
he IS the strongest man before the people
Republican Party to cope with Mr. Wilson
would be man OF his same stripe in the per
son of Ex-Governor Hughes OF New York
State.
If the people of this District want me to
represent them at the National Convention
to be held in Baltimore June zsth, am
perfectly willing TO do so, il not, would
be glad to a Woodrow Wilson delegation
elected from Florida,
Very respectfully,
JE T. BowDEN.
Now, my friends, this is the brother
in-law Claude said was supporting him.
What do you reckon he would say if
he WASN'T supporting him?

Better let me tell you something
about Golly. She is better known as
Nellie Gray and is Baude's side part

certain liquids.
Why, she is so awfully, dreadfully
ferocious that she has even been show

to slyly lap it up. He was shy and
cautious at first, but became holder

until finally, he rolled over on his
back, and defantly putting up his
four "scratchers," yelled out: "Now,
here l am! Come take me if you can!
Come on CATSl"
He has told you he was going to be
nominated, and be has made some of

you pretty little story that especially
fits his case.
