CLARK SAYS HE'LL
SUCCEED WILSON
Predicts He Will Defeat SEN
ator Borah, Republican Can
didate, in 1916.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 80. - Speaker
| Champ Clark, in a speech at the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation banquet, showed last night
. that he has not yet forgotten the
defeat which he sustained at the
hands of his own party at the Demo
cratic national convention in Balti-
more.
He suggested in no uncertain man.
ner that he would be the next Presi-
F. dent of the United States, and he pre-
dicted that Senator Borah, of Idaho,
would be the nominee of the Repub-
lican party in 1916 and his opponent
/ in the general election.
! The speaker said that Theodore
Roosevelt knew a little bit about more
things than any other man on earth,
and he declared the Monroe doctrine
! stood as warning to all nations of
Europe to keep their hands off this
continent or die. He paid a warm
tribute to the administrations Next
can policy, which he proclaimed to be
invulnerable.
Address by Speaker.
The speaker said:
II believe that a man, even myself,
should be praised for deeds well done.
I like truth, 1 like courage, 1 like
patriotism. If what our POSTMASTER
says Is true, therefore, I say to you
in all truth that l 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, I originated II
myself
Politics is the greatest science in
the world. 1t is the hope of every
man, woman and child. Thomas B.
Reed said that the difference between
a statesman and a politician was that
statesman was a politician who
| was dead. I 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 a great in
stitution 1t produces some great
men.
Borah Nominee, He Predicts.
Here, before you tonight, I make
this prophecy of one of its greatest
members. The gentleman who will
follow me in addressing you-William
F.. Borah-is going to be the next
Republican nominee for President OF
the United States
Speaking of foreign relations, Mr.
Clark said: There is not a king
emperor. car, prince or potentate in
Europe who is not suffering from in
somnia because he cannot imagine
what the United States is going ia
do next.
And while we ourselves are re-
joicing over what we have achieved
thus far, we must not forget that the
other nations of the earth have been
growing too.
There is one thing that we agree
on though-that is that articles that
can be made abroad and in the
United States should not be allowed
to be imported.
There are things that we, with
extreme views. can agree on. We
can agree on the rule of the people.
I'VE tear each other to pieces dur
ing a primary campaign, and after
cursing and swearing for three days
we get out and work for an OPP
ponent's election. When a man is
elected President of the United States,
therefore, l support him because he
is my President.
"And when I am President l want
YOU to ask me to come over here to
your banquet. If you invite me I'll
come"
