Uninstructed.

from thirty-three counties. which held
county conventions today and chose dele
gates to the state convention here in
June. indicate that the struggle between
President Taft and Col Roosevelt for the
six delegates at large to the national con-
vention will not finally be settled until
thrashed out on the floor of the state
convention.
Gov. Harmon, however. will be prac-
tically sure to go 10 the Baltimore con-

ton, as sufficient counties were bound by
the unit rule to insure him full victory.
He gained $40 delegates today bound by
rule. Gov. Wilson received lis instruct
ed delegates and Gov. Harmon about 100
delegates who are not bound.

We express the opinion that the

that he should make this filing il any
other democrat should announce his
candidacy. We are saying this because
We feel that III. unfortunately. Speaker
Clark should fall to receive the nomna-
ton at Baltimore. then IL is Of the
highest Importance that he should he re-
turned to his seat in the House Of Rep

WHY SPEAKER CLARK
ASKS FOR REELECTION
Files Candidacy for Congress
Because of Pressure by
His Constituents.

While expressing thu conviction that he
would be the democratic nominee for the
presidency. Speaker Champ Clark yester-
day announced that he would file his cam
didacy for reelection to Congress from
the ninth Missouri district. In a state-
ment, which was aternated by another
signed by the entire. democratic Missouri
delegation in Congress. he said he did so
because of the pressure brought TO bear
upon him by his constituents.
Speakers Statement.
Speaker Clark's statement says. in
part:
Matters presidential have advanced 50
far that three things are clear: |, | will
have a long lead at Baltimore; 2. I will
most probably have q majority; 3. no
body will have a two-thirds ma jority on
the first ballot.
II do not know whether the two-thirds
rule will be enforced. 1t has never been
enforced but once. and that was against
Martin Van Buren,. in 1874. In all other
cases the man who received a majority
was given the necessary two-thirds
majority; but. nevertheless. the two
thirds rule may be enforced and / may
or may not secure the two-thirds
majority. | have every reason now TO
believe that | will. but in view of that
contingency and out Of respect for the
wishes OF my constituents. and of the
Missouri democrats in both houses OF
Congress. 1 have concluded to file for
Congress"

Debate Upon Report.

The discussion came up in the section
of the congress which is considering
ocean navigation. The debate was di-
rectly on a report made by c. F. Grun-
sky of San Francisco. who had reviewed
all the papers handed into the congress
on the subject of dimensions to be given
to maritime canals.
The report in part recommended that
government aid should not be extended
to the building or operation of sea-
going vessels whose draught exceeds
1922 feet. and that there should be
an international agreement fixing the
maximum dimensions of vessels built
or operated under government sub
vention. 1t was tentatively suggested
that the following should be the maxi
mum dimensions of sea-going vessels:
Length over all. 900 feet: breadth, 105
feet; draught. 1922 feet. These recon-
mendations were not adopted. but
other recommendations in the report
were approved

Fixing of Canal Tolls.

At the morning session of the ocean
navigation section the opinion was ex-
pressed by delegates that il is the in
herent right of every country that builds
a canal to fix the toll rate as it pleases.
In this discussion no direct reference. was
made to the Panama canal, but it was
evident that that waterway was in the
minds of some of the delegates
In the section that is taking up matters
relating to inland navigation, the ques-
ton of having dimensions assigned to
any given country to canals of heavy
traffic was considered. There were
many views expressed, but TO positive
action was taken.
Several speakers advocated the permit
ting of private capital to take UP and
develop moribund inland waterways
under careful government supervision so
as to prevent railroads from controlling
competing water routes
