CHAMP CLARK HITS
At THE MAEPl0TS
isSuEs NEW YEATS STATEMENT
PREDICTING GREAT PROS.
pERiTY.

WASHINGTON. Dec. SIN a new
years statement calling attention to
the great prosperity OF the country.
Speaker Champ Clark, of the house,
denounced tonight the calamity howl
ers who are predicting a panic under
the incoming Democratic administra-
ton
Taken all In ALL" said Clark. 1912
is one of the most prosperous years
the American people have ever known.
and the signs of the times indicate
that this great prosperity will con-
tinue through 1913. and let us hope
through the series OF years. Agricui-
ture Is the basis of all prosperity, and
the crop of 1912 was ose OF the larg-
est in history. Factories are running
overtime. and are behind with their
orders. Everybody that wants en-
ployment can find It. There Is no
necessity for q panic.
Certain malignant marplots keep
croacking about impending disaster.
Some do 1t for their own selfish pur-
poses, and some for lack OF sense. It's
a pity that all such unpatriotic and
inhuman folks cannot be sequestered
In come place remote from the haunts
OF man while the rest OF us work at
he pleasant and important task OF
promoting the prosperity and happi
ness OF the American people. OF
course, IL enough Cassandras keep on
predicting calamity. they may be able
ito precipitate an artificial panic; but
1t is to be fervently hoped they will
giil in their criminal endeavors and
I believe they Will fail"
