LOYAL CLARK MEN
PRESENT SILVER SET
I FOR HIS BIRTHDAY
Washington, March 7. Speaker and
Mrs. Champ Clark left this evening
for Manchester, N. H., and will' con
tinue on the lecturing tour the speak
er has arranged. Last night and to
day many friends, including practi
cally all the members of Congress re
maining in the city and many others
in official and social life, called to con
gratulate the speaker upon his 61st
birthday anniversary.
Last night the family was surprised
at the Clark home by the District of
Columbia delegates to the Baltimore
convention, who stood by the speaker
to the last ballot. They brought with
them a birthday present in the form
of a chest of silver. Upon it was en-
graved, "Presented to Champ Clark
by a Band of Loyal Friends, Who '
Never Will Surrender." The same
friends last year presented Mr. Clark i
with a candelebra bearing the same !
inscription. j
Robert E. Mattingly, chairman of
the District of Columbia Democratic
Central Committee, made the presen
tation speech, which was responded
to by Mr. Clark. Senators Reed and
Stone and Representative James R.
Mann, minority leader of the House,

ties of the speaker which drew to him
such loyal friends, chief among which
was his own intense loyalty to them.
William S. Riley, who headed the
District delegation at the Baltimore
convention, was in charge of the ar
rangements. The annual celebration by these del
egates and a few friends who were
anxious to join with them had its ori
gin in the mammoth meeting held in

here in 1912, the year he was defeated
for the presidential nomination.

KINGS PRAIRIE
It seems rather unfortunate that
for six or seven weeks the Sundays
have been very unpleasant, either cold
and stormy or very bad roads, making
church going in the country bad.
As far as we can learn there has
been less plowing done in these parts
fall or .winter, than for a long time,
and now the hope of the farmer is
that the bad weather will come now
and when it does let up it will last.
There are a good many within the
bounds of Monett that will not have
the opportunity to attend the big re
vival that js now on in Monett, that

to religious life are not all the needy
ones. Many that are in the pale of
the church need regenerating and to
