Vetroit Free Prtss Sajs Clark Was
L«d from Platform, Lights Cut Off.
~“W»s FuddlaJ by Liquor."
Washington, Dec. 6.—Speaker Clark
is still tonfined to his home. He may
out a general statement about
his trip through the west later, but
Trill not refer to his condition at De
troit.
This: is the infor^tion given our,
at hi5 office at th® capitol yesterday
lay his'wecrtftary, Wallace Bassford.
Mr, Bassford said that Mr. Clark
would ignore the newspaper stories
that report^ he was forced from the
lecture platform at Detroit by the
inanager of the hall, who turned out
the light for that purpose.
The story referred to was contained
in the ftetroit Free Press of December
3 and follows:
III the n^iddle of a lecture by Speiik-
tr Champ Clark of the national house
•f representatives, after the speaker
iad shown c^'idences in his action and
words of being under the influence of
}iquor, the board of directors of the
Betroit board of commerce Wednes
day night suddenly terminated ihe
Kddrss by turning out the lights.
Mr. Clark had been invited to l^avK
the lecture platform by Secretary
•yres H. GitchelJ of the board, W't
refused to listen to him. The lijfhts
then were tui’ucd off and relighted, but
the speaker continued in his ramalinjj
talk. Finally the lights wore again
tcmed off and Mr. Clark was led off
tha platform.
One-third of the audience of moio
than 1,000 had left their seats abrupt-
iy and walked from the hall befiro
any attempt was made to silence *:he
speaker. Most of those who left won-
ffojnen.
From the first it was apparent timt
he spoke the less coherent his speech
demeanor. His fi?estupe| were un
steady and halting. The greater por
tion of the tiine his hand drooped
faJm inward and hi.'i chin sunk low
cn his chest. His voice too broke
noticeably after the first 15 miinites
and became hoarse growl. Tlie inoro
the spoke the less coherent his speecb
and thought became.
After Speaker Clark had been taken
from the building Mr. Gitoheil ap«i!-
ogized to those of the audience who
lemaitjed and slaied that any ’.vhu
had purcha.ied sJ)ec^al ticket.'^ for the
lecture couid have their lio'.laiH vi?-
funded a!, the door.
Speaker Clark cantc to the Bu;u J
of CommeiTe buiidinK from his hc-xel
l»aif ait hour after he was schedukd
to begin his address. The delap was
4ae to Mr, Clark's evident condition,
and the comn-.ittoe of Democrats
which had i>een attending him durinrr
the day worked to get Sum into shope
for his appearance in the board hall.
WTien he came to the building Mr.
Clark was accompanied by Confrrtss-
man Frank E. Doremu.s and Postmas
ter W. .1. Nagel. His condition >vas
«pparent to those members of the
board who had charge of the lecture
l»ut after a confereno; it was dacideil
to follow the program.
After it had been decided that Mr.
Clerk was able to eo onto the ros
trum he wa.s taken upstairs in charge
*f Mr. GitcheU, Mr. Hi(fginaon, C^n-
gressmas Oorcmus and Poi^master
Naget. M:. Higginson assisted him
to mount the platform where as ho
walked to his seat he was greeted with
a hearty applause. He bowed vory
alightly in response.
As Mr. Higginson finished hia in
troduction Speaker Clark rose slowly
and walked unsteadily to the front
of the platform. Mr. Higgirison tak
ing his arm in an intimate sort of
way. Standing with his left hand on
the speaker’s table and his right hand
fumliling his watch chain, Mr. C'ark
launched del:l>erately into his speech.
Co'igressman Doremus was the sub
ject of the speaker's first remarks. In
a' fairly even voice he paid the De
troit congressman a hearty compli
ment * * * But as he attempted
tc recite examples of repartee he had
heard on the floor of the national house
his thoughts appeared to v^ver and
the point of the first example dwin
dled away into a meaningless, incom
plete. sentence. . * " *
Hastily Mr. Gitchell and other momr
bers of the men in charge held a con
ference and it was decided to ask
Speaker Clark to stop. Before :Ms
could be done fully- a third of the
audiencis had left the auditori'am.
When Mr. Gitchell approached the
speaker the latter turned his head |
to listen, pausing in the midst of a
sentene^, but inunedi.itely turned
apaiii to the audience and launched
upon another sentence.
From the switchboard.in a drftssin.cc
room at the side of the platform the
st-age !isht.s were firi^t turned off and
then, the light.s o£ the auditorium.. .A
moment later they were turned on,
but still the speakf r proceeded. A sec-
orid darkening of the house sect the
speaker off the platform to the dress
ing room at the right, where he w^s
n'et and e.scorted from the place. * * *

I been in as prood standing since the
•day Adam made Kis first move fvom
jthe Garden of Eden as he is today.
And yet all ihe powers of this great
nation are united in trying to .^ave
him, trying to tide hint over, when
these is nothinpc to save him from
but his own shiftlessness.
He says with ■wheat, corn, nil kitids
of meat, and ev^ry thing that :.tan
or beast can eat selling at tip top
prices, and tobacco bringing fancy
prices, it tickles him almost to death
to hear the farmer complaining, and
saying he can*t stand it much longer,
for if the farmer can’t stand it, how
in the world d?»es he expect olher
folks to ^tand it?
AUe say.s this November snow was
not down on his program, but he had
plenty of wood ami watci*. and had
just heen to the mill the week before,
but th«r most of his neighbor farmers
had to hitch up okl Boh, call the boys,
an(i tackle the snfswbank before their
wives and babies could get warm, and
he wonders how leginlatioii can hertc-
fit such a man as that.
Wi* told Abe just to wait until Billy
Bryan and a few of oui* North Caro

lUlow OUI' women folks to vote .liid
then he"d nee how such men could be
beaefited. And wt* though Abe was

Consider oome of the nieasures to
\.'hich the Farmers’ Union gives its
support: The State-wde le’gaiized jri-
ira;ry; the reduction, of cotton acre
age in 1915 to not.exceeding fifty »>c-r
cents of the ctiltivated acreage; e:c-
te.-idrng the anti-jug law by means of
county action looking to the final pas
sage of a law which will embrace ali
the State; the fullest indorsement of
the Torrens land title law; strong c*>m-
mendation of the value of “Comniun-
ity Service Week”; that attorneys of
public service corporations sever iheir
connection with such corpo2*ations be
fore entering upon public iffice 'n.
which they are supposed to represent
the people and not private interests;
establishment as soon as possible of
a State institution for the help of
j wayward girls: improvement in our
J taxation system; land segregation be* |
Iween the races; party convention's at
such seasons as "will permit of the
fullest partiripation of the farmers.
Such measures as these are among
the ii\*e issues of cho day, and that
they are being presented and urged
by the farmers m.eans that these citi-
zens of North Carolina are forward
looking, that their desire is that this
State secure for itself the very best
that is to be had. For this reason it
is timely that the Farmers’ Union
sets forth to the State the program
which it endorses, that it may be fully
diJHruRsed, and that all classes of the
people may ‘oe heard as t» these mat
ters. Whether one agrees with ali of
fh'j .^laLter.s proposed or not. all mu.st
agree that it is a sign of progreris for
