BALTIMORE CONFAB
PROGRAM CHANGED
Champ Clark Intercedes In Be
lial! ot Bryan.
Washington, Nov. 28. According
to announcement mado here, it was
Representative Champ Clark of Mis
souri, acting In harmony with tho
expressed vlows of William J. Bryan,
who was Instrumental In bringing
about e change in the character of
tho meeting of Democratic leaders to
bo held In Baltimore on Jan. 7. This
meeting as originally planned waB to
bo a, "conference," it was announced,
to enable tho leaders to formulate a
policy for tho party in tho presiden
tial campaign of 1012.
Champ Clark, a close friend of Mr.
Bryan and prospective speaker of tho
Democratic house, was ono of tho
Democrats who attended a prelimi
nary meeting in Baltimore, and It is
believed that ho opposed the confer
ence Idea on tho ground that it
might be construed as nothing more
or less than a conspiracy on the part
of eastern Democrats to reorganize
with a view to nullifying tho Bryan
influence in the Democratic national
convention of 1912.
Mr. Clark and other Bryan leaders
showed their teeth when the "Balti
more harmony conference" was pro
posed. Mr. Clark discouraged the
idea and hostile utterances concern
ing It appeared in tho Commoner. It
was said here by a friend of Mr.
Clark that the Mlsoourlan told the
Baltimore leaders that Mr. Bryan
would probably decline to participate
In any conference dominated by east
ern or local readers.
Mr. Clark thereupon suggested
that Instead of a conference a rally
be hold as a. means of celebrating the
recent Democratic victory. If pres
ent plans nro can led out this raly
will bo attended by approximately
1,000 Democratic leaders from tho
various states. A meeting will be
held' on the morning of Jan. 17, at
which speccbos will be rdade, and
the night will bo set aside for a mon
ster banquet at which 1,000 covers
are to bo laid.
