Audience in Baltimore Theatre
Goes Wild Over Picture of
Big Democrat.

BALTIMORE, June Pm. A. Mil
Ter, Democratic national committee
man from Oregon. arrived yesterday
In his opinion the Democratic conven-
ton will make a mistake If 1t does
not nominate Speaker Clark. Tht
Oregon delegation is instructed foi
Wilson, but in the recent primaries
Mr.. Clark carried every county o.
the State outside Of the city OF Port
land. where no strenuous effort WA
made to get out the Clark vote.
"Mr. Clark's principal source o.
strength with the voters OF oregon
MIR. Miller said, ''is his unblemishee
and consistent record in Congress
For the better part of a quarter OF
century he has striven manfuily aho
effectively In Congress for the vita
principles on which the Democrati
party will appeal to the country In ths
coming campaign. Oregon a AWAY
admired MI. Clark. We feel that VIII
MI. Clark at the head of the ticket W.
can go before the country with
strong candidate and a resourcefu
cantain. Oregon is for tariff reform
Mr. Clark is the very personln'
cation of the movement for a ioWe'
and better tariff, which VIII distrlputs
equally the burdens of government
We admire his stand on the income
tax proposition.
All Are Men of Integrity.
.arhe various statesmen that Demo
Gratis are considering as p~resiuentia
material are men of integrity anu
force. but, in my opinion, none o'
them can boast of as many qualinca'
tions as Mr.. Clark. A shreWd aho
discriminating observer, Mr.. Clarf
has studied the multifarious problems
of government from every ~conceiVapit
angle. He is sanely progressive aho
fnteIigently conservative, n tnert
Is no more impressive taMer WIN
nut descending TO the arts by whicf
a demagogue appeals to an audience
he nevertheless compels attention anc
wins sympathy"
Among the visitors convention weef
will be ]. r. Foster, of st. Louis. MT
Foster is coming to be present. wner
Speaker Clark is nominated. Iht
Clark candidacy has a peculiar inter
est to Young Mr.. Foster. In 1880 MI
Fosters father introduced Champ
Clark, then a school teacher in louis
lana, Mo-, to Miss Genevieve Benne
who also was teaching school, and
after a short courtship, on December
IA. 1881, they were married. Mr.. carr
had seen Miss Bennett at q socia
gathering and asked to be presented
to her. Young Foster will come t.
Baltimore upon the special request o.
his father.
. CIark's "Honn' Dog Gets Applause.
One of the hits OF the cabaret show
l at the Maryland this week is the pres
entation of the Champ Clark "Houn
Dog" song, by Maurice Levi and a lit
tie & street urchin with a yellow
hound. which he pulls across tine stage
by a bit of Irvine.
After the playing of the march OF
the Presidents, during which all the
heroes of the nation are applauded
the stage becomes dark, and the pit
is Illuminated only by the candle
lights at the tables. Accompanied by
the sonorous sound of cello and drum
music, the urchin makes his appear
ance with the yellow hound, chatting
all the while the slogan of the Champ
Clark camp. The audience applauds
and the boy is showered with silver
from the audience, but when a large
picture af the speaker Is carried
across the stage the audience goes
wild.
Papier Mache World-trotter.
Around the world in eight months
is the record established by a PAPER
mache hound just received at the
Clark headquarters from San Do
mingo. That the dog Is much Travelled
can be seen at a glance at its express
tags.
The canine is on exhibition at the
Clark headquarters in the Emerson
Hotel. It was made at Bangor, Me.
and adorned a mantelpiece in COM
fort until his owner heard the "houn
daWg'' song. A copy of the sons
and the dog, which has been briefly
and affectionately named "Bau-
champ, was sent to a friend in
BOSTON. and the silent but expressive
Clark delegate started on his journey,
From Boston the dog did Europe
and the Far East, as the tags indi-

Nobody seemed to be selfish enough

splendid souvenir long ago. The first
