HOME MISSIONS
OF BAPTIST CHURCH

Oklahoma City, May 15.-That the
year just ended was the most success
ful financially in the history of the
Home Mission board of the Southern
Baptist convention was shown in the
annual report of the board made to
the convention today. While the board
ended the year with deficit of about
$4,000, the report showed that it col
lected, during the fiscal year ending
April 80, $966,OOO, or about $4,000
more than was raised last year, for
mission work in the Southern states,
parts of Illinois and New Mexico, and
in Cuba and Panama. The report
states that during the past year there
were employed by the board eighteen
trained eyangelists, fifty-fve workers
among foreigners, 81 missionaries
among the negroes, q in Cuba and
five in the Canal Zone. The total num-
ber of missionaries supported wholly
or in part by the board was 1909, Of
whom 269 were maintained entirely by
the Home Board.
One of the most important phases
of it's work, the board points out is
that of schoo Training for mountain
children. 1t conducted last year a
system of 29 secondary mountain
schools for the youth among the back
ward people of the southern highlands,
in which there were 5000 students and
with a property valuation of more
than half million dollars.
Resultant upon the work of the
Home Mission board during the last
year were 26,S99 baptisms and 47,728
additions to the church It's mission
aries organized POI churches and there
were 6S3 volunteers for mission work
and the ministry.
The report recommended the insti-
tuition of a campaign to secure $780,
900 for a church building loan fund, to
aid in erecting churches in needy
places, it being shown that there are
5000 houseless Baptist churches in
the convention. The Inauguration of
a plan for the yitalization and enlist
ment in Christian work, of backward
churches, also was strongly urged.
The Baptists," the report states,
are a very numerous and influential
people in the south, and they accept
their full share of the responsibility
for the inspiration of society in this
district, with ideals that are high and
for maintaining among the people a
Christian life that shall have virility
enough to permeate with high moral
purpose the marvellous powers of the
present intense Industrial civilization. .

The campaign managers of Speaker
Clark conceded "a delegates to Cover
nor Wilson last night. In view of the
fact that the Clark people claim IL
delegates from Pennsylvania in the
fact of iron bound instructions of the
people at the polls and later by the
state convention, that sort of state
ment is in no sense surprising
While denying to Governor Wilson
three-fourths of his actual strength
the Clark campaign managers give to
the others of the allies every vote that
can possibly be apportioned to them.
For instance Governor Harmon is
given his entire strength = his two
votes from Nebraska-and Mr.. Under
wood is given "a votes, which is the
total number claimed by him. The
allies are playing the game together
even to the smallest details.
Speaker Clark has 100 delegates He
will receive the twenty votes of the
Kansas delegation on the first ballot,
but two-thirds of the delegation favor
Governor Wilson and are free to go
to him in pursuance of Instructions on
any ballot.
The speakers campaign managers
claim Massachusetts but the delegates
were elected under pledge to vote for
Governor Foss, and do not consider
themselves bound by any other instruc-
tions. George Fred Williams, who ran
in the open as Clark delegate with
the prestige of being the speakers
campaign manager, was overwhelming
ly defeated by the Foss delegate
ticket
Governor Harmon has two delegates.
Mr.. Underwood 80, Governor Baldwin
a. Governor Marshall 80, Governor
Burke 10, and LOG are uninstructed.

CHAMP CLARK BOOM
WOULD COLLAPSE

Washington, d. c., May 14.-Special.
The New York World has said that
1T would be suicidal for the democratic
party to nominate Champ Clark, and
the New York Evening Post. another
independent paper has said that the
speakers campaign-if he should be
the would collapse in less
than eight weeks. The great independ-
ent newspaper Of Ohio, the Cleveland
Plaindealer in an editorial last Thurs
day said of the possibility of the nom
nation of Mr., Clark.
Results indicate two methods OF
winning primary fight-talking per-
sistently and abusively, and saying
nothing. Cci Roosevelt prospers by
the one system and Champ Clark by
the other.
"Mr. Clark has added another state
to his string of victories. The Bay
States testifies its loyalty to the doe
trine of political folly.
THE speaker, in spite of his mex
Iplicable success in getting pledged del
egates, is an impossibility as a presi-
Dental aspirant AS an actual nomi
nee for president he would be the most
vulnerable man nominated since Gree
Hay. AS president-were his election
possible-he would be the weakest
man the White House has seen since
the foundation of the government.
1T is an affront to the American
people even to suggest Clark for the
presidency.
"IIe stands for no constructive pol
icy in American government unless
one be discoverable in this sentiment
reliably credited to him: There are
but two men in the hoary registers OF
time that Clevelands name ought to
be associated with-Judas Iscariot
and Benedict Arnold
eHe has identified himself definitely
with no government reforms, unless
one esteems it a reform to burn down
l
all the customs houses in the land, as
Clark once proposed to do.
He has shown no conception of the
vital problems which confront this ma
ton. unless such a conception be read
into his senseless harmful and un-
statesmanlike utterance in favor of
Canadian annexation.
The democrats are not fully alive
to the peril which this Missouri man
with Hearst, his patron, personifies.
Once they awake to the real situation
the speaker with his houn' song and
his ehautauqua bow, will be swept off
the political map. 1t would be pity
we're the full awakening to be delayed
until after the Baltimore convention
had consummated the bargain between
yellow journalism and yellow politics.
Speaker Clark can never win the
presidency of the United States-even
the suggestion is absurd.
"He can never win the nomination
for the presidency unless the demo-
cratic electors have lost at once their
discretion and their common sense.
The Plain Dealer believes they have
lost neither"
The weekly chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Craig County, Okla.) 1905-1913, 1912-05-17

A telegram from A. L. Whiteman of
Roswell, New afexiees to Woodrow VIII
son headquarters states that eleven
counties in New Mexico have instruct
ed for Governor Wilson. giving him
143 delegates to the state convention.
Speaker Clark has carried nine coun-
ties, which gave him 12O delegates.
Five counties have not acted or in
structed.
