Delegates Claimed for Clark.

The following has been issued from
Champ Clark's headquarters:
With the exception Of the states Of
Oregon and North Dakota, the latter hav-
ing instructed for Gov. Burke, Speaker
Clark will have in the Baltimore conven-
ton the entire block of western states
and an unbroken chain of states extend
ing across the continent to New Eng
land. Every one of the New England
states, save Connecticut and a part of
Maine, will support the Speaker on the
first ballot in the convention.
With such a vast area of territory
and population supporting the Speaker s
candidacy, covering every section of the
United States, the managers of the
Speakers campaign need present no ar
guments to support their claim that Mr..
Clark is the choice Of the great majority
Of the democratic voters. Wherever
presidential preference primaries have
been held, except in Oregon and Wis
consin, Champ Clark has won overwhelm-
ingly. In Oregon he lost the state by a
very small margin, due in a large meas
ure to the lack of organization.

have every state west Of the Missouri in

INCIDENT OF YEAR 1892
Resolution Adopted in Convention

MISSOURI'S CHOICE IN 1919
Seven Brothers Combine in Support
of Their Fellow-Citizen
for High Honors.

Should Speaker Clark be nominated for
the Office of President of the United
states at the coming Baltimore conven-
ton there will be direct connection be-
tween that piece of history and the Ball
family Of Missouri. W. S. Ball, who
lives at 1886 B street northeast, in this
city, says his brother. David A. Ball,
was the original Champ Clark booster,
and that 1T was the strenuous work of
the entire Ball family which set Mr..
Clark's feet toward the Baltimore con-
vention. This happened twenty years
ago in Missouri.
Gives the Details.
The story which Mr.. Ball related to
Star reporter is this:
THE district from which Mr.. Clark
comes is noted for one of the bitterest
and most stubborn political fights ever
seen in this country. Champ Clark
figured in this fight in 1892 He was op-
posed by Dick Norton in his campaign
for the nomination for Congress- My
brother David. now candidate for Gov
ernor OF Missouri, was at that time Mr.
Clark's partner in law, and started out
to manage the Clark campaign. After a
terrific contest David succeeded in diyid-
ing the delegates of the ninth district
equally between Clark and Norton.
Then followed two solid weeks of bal
loting, and neither side could make a
gain over the other. No compromise can
didate could be found, and, in fact the
delegates refused to name another man.
1t was an even break between Clark and
Norton, and there appeared to be no way
out of the deadlock. The convention had
to adjourn, leaving the situation entirely
up to the state central committee, which
decided to hold another primary in the
ninth district.
