I'LL Be PRESIDENT
Predicts His Election in
1916 in Speech at Balti-
more Banquet.
BORAH HTS OPPONENT.
Displays His Soreness at Being Turn
ed Down by Convention Last
Year.
BORAH HIS OPPONENT.

Baltimore, Mr., ina. 29.-Speaker
Champ Clark in a speech at a ban
quet tonight. showed that he has not
forgotten the defeat which he sus-
tanned at the hands of his own party
at the Democratic National convention
in Baltimore. He suggested in no
uncertain manner that he would be
the next president of the United
States and he predicted that Senator
Borah, of Idaho, would be the nominee
of the Republican party in 1916 and
his opponent in the general election.
He said that Theodore Roosevelt
knew little bit about more things
than any other man on earth and he
declared the Monroe Doctrine stood
as a warning to all nations in Europe
to keep their hands off this continent
or die. He paid warm tribute to the
administrations Mexican policy,
which he proclaimed to be invulnera-
BILE. He said:
81 believe that a man-even myself
should be praised for deeds we'll
done. I like truth, l like courage; l
like patriotism. If by what your
POSTMASTER says is true, therefore l
say to you in all truth that should be
in the White House tonight if the
election of 1912 had been the natural
outcome of the primary election.
Well, that primary law originated in
my district in Missouri, in fact, /
originated it myself
cit is good thing for business
men and statesmen-I shall not stop
to bubble over the differences of a
statesman and politician-to be
brought together on occasions like
this. Politics is the greaest science
in the world. It is the hope of every
man, woman and child. Thomas B.
Reed said that the difference between
a statesman and a politician was that
a statesman was politician who was
dead. suppose that 1 can get some
consolation out of that. =.
"That extra session of Congress
that ran into the regular one was the
most idiotic thing on Gods earth, but
there is no power in the world that
will move the Senate. The Senate,
though, is great institution. 1t prof.
duces some great men. Here before
you tonight l make this prophesy of
one of it's greatest members. The
man who will follow me in address,
ing you, William E. Borah, is going
to be the next Republican nominee for
president of the United States" !
Speaking of our foreign relations,
Mr.. Clark said:
There Is not a king, emperor, car,
prince or potentate in Europe who is
not suffering with insomnia because
he cannot imagine what the United
States is doing to some extent. And
while we ourselves are rejoicing over
what we have achieved thus far, we
must not forget that the other ma
tons Of the earth have been growing,
too. There is one thing that we agree
on. That is, articles that can be
made abroad and in the United States
should not be allowed to be imported.
There are things that we with ex7
IRENE views can agree on. We can
agree on the rule of the people. We
tear each other to pieces during a,
primary campaign and after cursing
and swearing for three days we get
out and work for our opponents cleo
ton. When man is elected president
OF the United States, therefore, sup
port him because he is my president.
"And when ! am president want
you to ask me to come over here to
your banquet. II you invite me-. I'll
come"
