SPEAKER CLARKS VICTORY.

~,aAMP CLARK is TO succeed himself as Speaker Of
-. the House Of Representatives. That has been
decided by Democratic 1t is distinct victory
for him because IL the partisans of President Wilson
and Secretary State Bryan could have retired him
without fear OF disruption of the Democratic party,
they would not have hesitated to do Fortunately
for him. they did not dare attempt it,
II is no secret i'm political circles that Speaker Clark
has little use for President Wilson and less use for
Secretary of State Bryan In the work of the Wilson
partisans IN forcing Woodrow Wilson the ticket
and doing the Presidential boom Of Clark to death in
the Baltimore convention, things were said about
Clark thai never will forgotten forgiven by him
and his friends His patriotism and party loyalty
were assailed and every possible effort was made to
have him appear before his party colleagues as the
creature and candidate of Wall street
Following the Inauguration of President Wilson and
the elevation of Bryan the Office OF Secretary Of
state efforts were made by them to patch up peace
with the Speaker There rather frigid display
of reconciliation that regarded seriously
by the American public The prevailing understand
ing is now that no man in the United States regards
the failure Of the wson-Bryan administration with
greater personal satisfaction than does the Speaker
of the House who was pilloried mercessy by that
combination in Baltimore in 1912.
II is not to be assumed that President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan. unaware Of that state Of the
Sneakers mind If they could have followed their in
cnations they no doubt would have realiaed by pull
ing the strings to bring about his retirement The
temper of the House and OF the public was such, how
ever. that they did not dare attempt such thing
Therefore for two years longer Speaker Clark will
have the supreme satisfaction OF sitting in high legis-
latiye state and watching the Wson-Bryan admins
raton making frantic efforts TO cXtricate itself from
the great slough of public disavor into which it has
fallen and into which il 10 be sinking deeper

w open in the Hotel DUPONT next Monday II
will last four days Many Of the best automobiles
manufactured tho United States will be view. The
show has been arranged by and will be in charge OF
the local dealers i'm automobiles motorcycles and the
accessories incident thereto. II will be the greatest
event Of It's sort in the history Of city and state
The TACT that it will be free TO all should con
vince everyone the liberality Of its conception and
management
The Wilmington dealers have displayed commenda-
bic enterprise in arranging for this commercial and
social event their aim make it yearly feature
of the life of our community and far it may be
possible to put Wilmington in line with other pro-
gressive American cities To accomplish their pui-
pose they must have public sympathy and support In
view of the fact that the show is free, that support
only can come through attendance and "a courteous
manifestation of appreciation of what the dealers are
endeavoring do for community and its logiti-
mate trade interests.
Those who have spent their time and their money
TO create this First Automobile Show deserving OF
the public support they seek We appeal to the great

regulative crusade
Mr.. Wilson has been fond of saying
that the industrial depression or tae

II was the same case with the Presi-
dents Mexican policy At one time
he said he was intervening in Mexico
10 "serye mankind" and to help restore
the land to the SO per cent. of landless
Nexican peons. Recently he has aban-
doned the serving mankind" program
and substituted one of keeping hands
off while the Mexican people are en-
gagged in establishing their own form
OF government" But all that any one
but a star gazer can see in Mexico as
the result of those policies is greater
disorder than ever, more rabid rae
tionalism and a swifter descent into
the blackness of anarchy A camera
today in Mexico would make as much
havoc with Mr.. Wilson's phrases about
the objects of his policy as the bread
line picture did with his phrases about
The immense of a new era Of full
wages and full-time employment.
With the ship purchase bill, too. il
is the old story over again. The
President talks about lifting the bur
den of excessive ocean freight rates
from the back of the American far
mer. But it is the farmers enforced
customer abroad who pays those eX-
cessive freight rates. Instead of Of
fering a service which the country
needs, the President is trying TO sad
die the country with an enterprise that
will help nobody and can never pay its
way. When the camera finally passes

ernment ship purchase scheme it will
show that the net outcome of TINS
boasted relief enterprise has been the
purchase of a lawsuit in the British
courts of admiralty.

record of words not matching facts,
