MONTGOMERY, Mo-, The people
Of this, Champ Clark's district, were
sorely disappointed, when the news
came that their ideal had gone down
in defeat. They blamed Bryan for
it all.
The ninth district Democrats say
Clark is the biggest Democrat in the
country and all the candidates who
have filed for congress in this dis
trict against him say they will with
draw at once which means that Clark
will go back to congress without op-
position in his own party.
