CLARK s WIDOW
F[AYS BRYAN
IN ARTICLE:
Says Commoner Failed to
Support Champ as
Per Promise.
BY the Associated Press.

BOWLING GREEN. Aug. s.-Mrs
Champ Clark, widow of the late speak.
er of the House of Representatives, in
an article for publication here to-
declares the late William Jennings
Bryan will be held responsible at
the judgment bar for many lost souls. "
In tribute, she says Bryan was a
kind son, a kind husband, good
grandfather and a good great-grand-
father.
Carrying the events of the Baltimore
convention of 1921 before the ma
terial world and practical politics,
Mrs. Clark asserts, the great Com
moner caused many faithful Dem
ocrats to lose communion with God"
This, she states, was result of
Bryan's efforts to defeat Clark Sin
stead of keeping true to his promise
to use all honorable means to NOM
mate Champ Clark for President"
SCORES BOWLING GREEN.
"Mr. Bryan's strength up to 1912
was with the common people.
Mr.. Bryan could always get huz-
zhh lIOln inc CEOWu WutH
up to his full height and declared if
you believe in God believe also in me !;
If it were not SO. would not have
told you.'
Mr.. Bryan was kept so busy talk.
ing that he never found time to stop
and think.
AT the present time the Republi-
cans own Missouri and we common
people creep about under their huge
legs to find ourselves dishonorable
graves.
Listen, friends of Champ Clark,
the state of Missouri by legislative en-
actment has appropriated $4,000 to
put a statue of Champ Clark in the
Courthouse Square at Bowling Green.
"Why should $4,000 of the states
money be expended upon Bowling
Green!
CLARK VS.. BRYAN.
"This is the substance of thousands
of queries from all parts of the world,
which have been received here.
"If you ask me, Champ Clark's
widow, / have no answer ready. only
this: I can say to the state of Mis-
!Souri. in which ! was born, take back
1.-THE 81, 900 which you gave TO Bowling
Green on Champ Clark's security. 1t
has no need of it,
Bowling Green hitched its wagon
Ito the star of either Wilson or Bryan,
both of them moneyed men. and let
Champ Clark and his posterity hustle
for place in the sun or 20 down I'M
|wept, unhonored and unknown"
Mrs. Clark closes with quotation
from the Public Ledger, saying:
-Champ Clark hated Bryan to the
day of his death and that feud has
colored Missouri politics since 1912
and will for n generation"
