Eastern View of Clark.

Col. Harvey, editor Of the North
American review, has not been
known as in favor uf Champ Clark
a. randidat" for the Democratic
presidential nomination, says the
Carthage Democrat. IN that maya
zine for the present month he has
devoted nearly twenty pages to Sc
ries Of extracts from speeches by
Clark at different times from 1888 to
the present, with some expression
OF admiration Of personal character
and the following resume of opin-
ions on that point;
"This article is purely expository.
IL Is no part of our purpose to Mt
tack, excuse or defend. Certain
deducations, however, may be MAD =.
Champ Clark sprang from that hardy
stock which produced the American
pioneers, virile, intense, honest. pa
triOtiC, headstrong. The red blood
Coursed swiftly through his veins
till the mellowing influence of time
checked its speed. Responsibility
hcgat reflection and calm, tolerance
Of the opinions Of others, eveuness
Of disposition, III q dcration in
thought, word aud deed That he
achieved his present eminenCc un-
aided Is no more significant than
the use tu which he has put his pow.
or. 1t is n simple fact, surely wOr-
thy of consideration, that never he
fore has the business Of the House
of Representatives been conducted
with more decorum, greater dignity
or true efficiency than under his
guidance as speaker. That much of
his success is attributable to eXcep-
tioual popularity achieved by win.
ming personality Is plainly evident
Bat ii is no less uhviOus that under
meath are qualities of native ability,
of rugged common sense, Of un-
doubted integrity, Of intense patri-
otism. OF sympathy with human
/ kind, which constitute character.
That his strength should be greater
in the West, where he is known,
than in the East, where he is com
paratiVely stranger, is fact neitn-
er discreditable nor uncommon. 4
like condition existed half century
ago when another son Of the plain
people, also Kentucky born, was
under the scrutiny Of those who be-
held him from afar.

The Country Democratic.

Delegates to the Democratic M.
tional Convention will do well to
seriously ponder on an editorial
printed in the Nashville TennesSeau
and entitled The Country is Dem.
ocratic.' The editorial follows:
"This country is more Democrat
ic now than ever before. Even the
Republican party is trying to he
Democratic.
MANY of tn" Republican Con-
grcssmen hav" been voting for
Democratic measures, They have
done this III response tu the demand
Of their constituents. They have
been forced To follow the trend of
the times in accepting those things
which the Democratic party has
long been fighting for. They have
demonstrated 10y their votes that
they aud their party are getting to
be Democratic.
Just at this time, when the whole
country is getting to he Democratic,
it would he the height of absurdity
and the essence Of folly for the
Democrats to retrace their steps
from their rightful position AS pro-
anu luhf UP lllf ItdtllDtl-
AIRY policies about to he abandoned
by the Republicans. 1t would he
suicidal for the Democrats to now
become Republicans, as it would be
the salvation Of the Republicans to
become Democrats
There are some Democrats who
want these inter-changes of posi-
ton to take place, but the number
is small; constituting helpless
minority, that will not be able to
direct the nomination or to write
the platform at Baltimore. This
being true, the Democratic party
will remain democratic aud meet its
obligations to the American people.
"A cowardly surrender in the face
of public DUTY to boldly and fear
lessly meet the public issues would
be fatal.
THE Democratic party must con-
tinue to be progressive.
ITO become reactionary in the
moment of its prospective triumph
would mean disaster to the party
and the things for which II has so
long existed.
Let the Republican party he
what IL may in this hour OF It's ex.
IRENE peril, the Democratic party
must remain democratic.

LARKIN GIVES APPEAL
WOMAN GOES TO JAIL

On Friday night, May ;, 1912, Roy
Larkin shot and killed Henry Har.
ris near the latter's own home at
lockwood, elimination of the
clandestine meetings and Illicit love
Of Larkin and Harris wife. Both
Larkin and the uufaithful wife were
arrested for the murder, and were
jointly tried the latter part of last
week in the Circuit Court Of this
county. The jury brought In yer.
diet Of murder in the second degree
aud assessed the punishment of
each at ten years in the peniten-
tiary. \ motion for n new trial be.
ing overruled by the court, an ap-
peal was taken to the Supreme
Court, and Judge Huck fixed the
appeal bond Of Larkin AZ - 600, and
that Of the Harris woman at ~ 800.
Larkin promptly furnished the nee
essary bond for himself, hut the
woman whose Illicit love he shared
and whose husband he shot down,
was left to shift for herself. She
was not able ia furnish bond aud
had to go back to Jail. What
ever may have been the sins of the
woman prior to the murder, aud
whatever the seductive temptations
that led her astray, Larkin was
equally if nor more To blame, and
then he did the killing. II Larkin
could obtain bond for himself it
looks as IL he might have done as
much for his partner in crime, or
failing to secure bond for both, man
hood, Ii he has any, would have
suggested that he first procure bond
for her and If necessary go to jail
himself.
1t is always the woman who suf-
fers most In such cases, in reputa.
ton aud otherwise, under the code
of morals az interpreted by the world
in general; but the apparent indif-
ference of Larkin and his friends to
the fate of the woman upon whom
he had lavished his Illicit affection,
aroused the sympathy OF some of
our good people, and on Monday
they Interested themselves in pro-
curing bond for her release from
jail until the finding of the lower
court Is passed upon by the Supreme
Court.

The Times has not vet deter.
mined to support for nomination
any particular candidate for the
Democratic nomination for GOv
ernOr. There are five aspirants in
the field aud we believe they are
all honest capable men and good
Democrats. We would like to see
nominated the man who would add
the most strength to the ticket aud
come nearest satisfying all ele
ments of the party and bring ont n
record vote. Which one of the sew
eral gentlemen that is we are not
yet fully satisfied. In this county,
from all that we have been able to
learn, at the present time Mr..
Cowherd and Mr.. Major appear to
be the more favored ones. 1t may
have been noticed that we have
been running some readers setting
forth Mr.. Houchin's claims for the
nomination. He is running on a
platform specially advocating a
business administration of State
affairs as we'll as a Democrat, and
the articles appearing in his favor
are furnished by his campaign
manager in IA business way and are
published on business basis. In
view of our desire and purpose to
be impartial in our attitude toward
all the candidates, at least until
we have determined upon a choice,
if we should so determine, we
thought it proper to make this
statement.

~HE Chicago Convention con.
. vened at noon last Tuesday
,,1 "a. ToF, C,rnau unn ont

~ vened at noon last Tuesday
and the Taft forces won ont
on the first test vote. The Ma
tiOnal Committee had several days
before finished its labor OF deciding
between the contesting delegations
and had steam rollered enough of
the Taft delegates through to in.
sure him II majority if they stayed
il line. For several days luirrren-
ing Ike close Of the committee :
work aud the converting OF the
convention, however. the situation
was full Of confusion, doubt,
charges of fraud theft, crlmlna.
ton aud rpcrlmlnatlOn, and ct-
forts Of the Roosevelt forces to
seduce by one means or another
Taft delegates to desert to the
Roosevelt side, with the Colonel on
the gtOuud directing his own cam.
paign. The Taft forces were
equally busy trying to hold their
shaky delegates IN line, from which
there were some deserters Both
sides were persistent in their claims
that they would control the con.
convention, aud nobody WAS sure
Of anything. Then the convention
met and the first real test was on
IN the election Of temporary chair
man. The committee had named
Senator Ellhu Root, a Taft stand
patter, for temporary chairman,
and the Roosevelt side put mp Gov.
ernOr McGOvern of Minnesota.
When the calling of the roll was
finished the Taft side had won,
Root receiving jJS votes and Me-
Govern jO2.
Five hundred aud forty votes are
necessary 10 nominate, aud the
first test seems to leave little doubt
that Mr.. Taft will be nominated.
1t all depends upon the cohesive.
ness of his lines. After the siren
nous work of the first afternoon of
the convention it adjourned to Il
o'clock Wednesday morning. and
the day was taken mp with the ap-
pOintment Of committees on ere
dentials, rules, permanent Orgaml-
zation, resolutions, etc, and con.
slderatlOn of a motion 10y Govern.
or Hadley to substitute Roosevelt
delegates for IS of Tafts stolen
delegates. - 1t is probable that
the committee on credentials and
permanent organization may not
report until late Wednesday even.
ING and possibly not until to-day,
so it is not at all probable that a
nomination will be made until
some time late o.day if then.
There is no telling at this distance
from the sanguinary field what
may yet happen, but it looks like
Taft.
