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. * * * THAT WE GO FORWARD. j 'i DUNG WIFE KILLS KAITHLF.SS North Carolina is a State that is ! .

Abe ss\ys that farmer, socially, cJu- cationaily, and financially has not 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 lina great men get a bill through lo lUlow OUI' women folks to vote .liid then he"d nee how such men could be beaefited.

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 tlio i>tate wliej) there aro such reso- lulior.s adopted by an organization of farmt^rs, thes? dealing with the large .*r.juters of the future of the State.
