CLERK THE STRONGEST MAN
Michigan Journal Recognizes Speaker
as Most Able Exponent of
Democratic Doctrine.

Speaker Clark has been for about
1S years in the limeight as an able
exponent Of Democratic doctrine. He
has been tried thoroughly and has ac-
quilted himself with great ability in
one of the most trying forums in the
worId-as the leader of the minority.
most critical position in any repre-
sentative government. He has led the
party last year, and established a
splendid record as the second man in
the nation politically. record which
must commend itself to the People.
and by and by through which the ma
tional Democracy must make great
gains.
Our presidential leader should come
from the ranks. Who in the ranks
of the Democrats stands such a show
of success as does Speaker Champ
Clark?
We like Clark. He is a man OF
great natural ability. thoroughly pol
ished and educated; but what is
more, he is man of experience and
ripened judgment He is competent
and has done the most difficult work
of craftsmanship with a breadth of
mind and a thoroughness, which is
very refreshing and should appeal to
Democratic minds. This is why we
favor Champ Clark for president

President Champ Clark sounds good
to us. Many people in Texas express
the conviction that Champ Clark and
William H. Taft will face each other
next fall as candidates for the pres

proved himself" is our foremost man
before the public and hence has a
foundation to support nomination at

he will be wholly acceptable to the

From Mr.. Hilburn.

In your issue of January 4th,
you say, 'No, am not in favor
of the parcels post. Government
is an exacting step father and it's
parentalism comes too high for
him who values unlet freedom
above censored ease and regulated d
favors." And then, "there must be
no compromise with the in
terests." And a little further
down you say, 81 am awearied of
the repeated assurance that the

islate as to hurt business. II it

If this be true, Mr.. Editor, one
good way to hurt this kind of bus

Washington Correspondence.
BY CLYDE H. TAvENNER.


WASHINGTON, January 29.-
Here is some more evidence of
how "Protection" does not pro-
tect the workingman.
The following is an appeal sent
by the $4,000 men, women and
children striking textile workers
at Lawrence, Mass, to VIM. M.
Wood, president of the Woolen
trust:
"We are of the opinion that you
have had ample time to consider
the demands of the men, women
and children, who have made the
American Woolen Company what
it is to-day. In view of the fact
that machinery has been inn
proved, the workers turn off more
and more work but they are not
paid accordingly, even though
the price of food, clothing and
shelter has in many cases in
creaeed so and even 100 per cent.
within the last few years.
We, the committee, are willing
to meet the officials of the COM
pany any time and submit the
grievances of the strikers. So if
you believe in square deal you
will not refuse to meet with us,
but will come forward at once and
try to bring the trouble to a final
conclusion. You must bear in
mind the fact that these men,
women and children have not
gone lon strike for light or tram
sient causes, but because they
could no longer bear up under the
burdens laid upon their shoulders.
The American Wooden Company
has within the last few years built
several mills, which are paid for,
according to your own figures, and
the company has even in the
worst of times managed to pay
dividends.

that the only competition left is
