SPEAKER CLARK TOLD
OF NATIONS PROGRESS

The progress of this State, espec-
tally the Ninth Congressional Dis
trict and the United States was re-
viewed by the Hon Champ Clark,
Representative from this District and
Speaker of the House, Monday even
ing. A very large and interested au-
dience listened to Mr.. Clark, who
made a most excellent address, de-
spite a severe hoarseness, due to
outdoor speaking.
Col Fred A. Morris, chairman of
the Audrain County Democratic com
mittee, introduced the Speaker. In his
Introductory remarks Mr.. Morris
said it seemed strange that he or any
one else should be called on to intro
duce Champ Clark to an Audrain
County audience. Mr.. CLARK knows
more people in this county than any
other n man, he said.
Mr. Clark spoke on the great o
ress of the United States and the
growth Of all of its industries. He
then came back TO the Ninth Dis
trict, which he calls home, and told
OF the many resources-natural and
otherwise-to be found in these ten
counties. Although the address, was
IN no way political and Mr.. Clark new
er touched on party matters, he took
occasion to thank the voters for their
loyal support. 1t was the people Of
the Ninth District, he said, who
made him Speaker, in that they elect
ed him time after time without oppo-
sition.
On the platform with Speaker Clark
were Mrs. Clark, Fred Morris, Post
master W R. Jackson, A. H. Whit
ney and their wives.

Mr.. Crum was anxious for a higher

need of his services than h. was Of
schooling, and he enlisted in Co. b.,

high state of cultivation, he sold it in
1905 came to Mexico, with the avow-
ed intention of making this place his
permanent home.
