Interesting letter From Champ Clark
Citing the Record of the Demo

Is Ills Platform as a Democratic
Candidate Sentiment in His Ka
vor" GiouIiib The Situation in
Missouri.
Timet Bureau,
Congress Hall Hotel,
H. E. C. Bryant.
Washington, D. C , June 24-Thls
correspondence herewith presents
Speaker Champ Clark's platform as
a candidate for president of the
United Stutes, written by his own
hand. It Is a plain citation of the
record of the house under his guid
ance as its principal leader.
The speaker does not himself de'
scribe the specially .prepared utter
unce as a "platform." Neither does
he admit he is a candidate for the
democratic nomination next year,
but Senators Owen and Gore, of Okla
homa, Senator Taylor, of Tennessee;
other .senators and numerous repre
sentatives from the south, Boiithwest
and the east, have publicly spoken
of Speaker Clark as among the. very
first in the list of available men
for this high honor and responslbll
ity. In short the "political talk or
the day" here ranks Clark along
with Governor Harmon, of Ohio, and
Governor - Wilson,, St New Jersey, s
beingibremoRt in the publio'eye for
the democratic nomination at this
time: The Clark argument Is based
upon his Identification with the pro
irresslve and remarkable record i of
the house.
According to the St. Louis Repub
lic correspondent asked the speaker
to use the columns of The Repupllc
to point out briefly the Importance of
that record. Mr. Clark did so and
went further, showing how the chief
items in the house programme are
now deadlocked because ot "legisla
tive legerdemain" in the senate. He
writes: . - :
"In the last two months the dem
ocrats of the house have experienced
a brand new and most pleasaut sen
satlon that of being praised for
what we are doing and trying to do.
Heretofore for sixteen years we re
ceived little praise for anything and
what little we did receive was for
fighting bad measures. . .' Now the
praise is bestowed for ; good meas
ures. Insfead qf being sneered at as
a party of mere negation, the house
is everywhere lauded for its pro
gramme 6f constructive legislation.
"It is a splendid record. . We have
passed a resolution submitting a con.
stitutional amendment for the elec
tlon of United States senators by the
leople; a bill compelling publica

BEER INDUSTAY 10
BE INVESTIGATED
Washington, D. C, June 24 The
beer Industry of theUnited States
will undergo a searching inquiry at
the hands of the board of food and
drug inspection. Dr. Harvey W.
"Wiley, chief chemist of the depart
ment of agriculture, and chairman of
the board, has given notice of a gen
eral hearing on beer here July 31.
For those attending the hearing
Dr. Wiley has prepared a formidable
list of questions. These cover every
phase of the manufacture of beer,
ale, porter and stout. One of the
points upon which the board desires
light Is the meaning of the terms
"lager" and "bock" beer. If any
domestic brews of beer, ale, porter
and stoiit are masquerading under
names of foreign products, the board
will likely ascertain it.

Kohlsaat Before Committee Today-
Tells of ProMsitioii to Funk by
. Hines Had ToUl Senator Root
: About Fund.
Washington, DC, June 24 The
scope of the Lortmer investigation
was materially widened when the
senate investigating committee de
cided to allow Lorimer's counsel to
question the motives which might
have prompted anj official of the In
ternational Harvester Company to
oppose Lorimer's political advance
ment. This gave Lorimer's counsel
all the latittude they desired in at
tacking the statement of; General
Manager Charles S. Funk, of the In
ternational Harvester Company, that
Edward Hines, of Chicago, asked
that company to contribute $ 10,000
on account of Lorimer's election ex
pense, '
Funk testified that Hines asked
hlmi on behalf of the Harvester Com
pany, to commute tnat sum towaru
reimbursing those who raised $100,-
000 fund to meet the costs of elec
tion.''
That Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has
known since early last fall the entire
story of how Edward Hines is al
leged to have asked Clarence S. Kuhk.
general manager of the Internal 'tonal
Harvester Company for $10,0(10 contri
bution tq. the $100,000 fund, "Used 10
put I.oiitnei' across at Springfield,"
was testified to before the senate Lor-
Imen committee by Herman Kohlsaat
publisher of the Chicago Record-Her
ald. Kohlsaat said he told the story
to Roosevelt just before, the Hamilton
club dinner nt Chicago which Roosevelt
refused, to attend until Lorimer's in
vitation was withdrawn. It was upon
this Information, Kohlsaat said the
former nresident based his action In
ieclining to sit at the same table with
Lorlmer, Kohlsaat further testified he
wrote an account of the conversation
between himself and fc"unk bvri without
mentioning- ' Funk's name to Senator
Lafollette and Root.
This was done at the request of
Walter L. Fisher, now secretary of
the interior and others.
Root wrote me in reply thanking
me for tne --. information.. He saui it
had greatly Influenced him In "making
his speech against Lorimer on the Hour
of the senate."
What," exclaimed Senator Gamble.
Dou you mean to say Senators were
Influenced In arriving at their deci
sion by matters not In evidence?"
I did not discuss that question'., with
Root,'' replied Kohlsaat.
The witness said that Lafollette tried
very hard to get him to Washington
to tell about the conversalon, even
threatening to send the senate's ser
geant-at-arrns after him. "1 replied
It would merely result In my spend
Ing a hot summer In Washington,'
said Kohlsaat.
The witness explained he gave his
word to Funk he would not reveal his
name but he considered he was free to
tell"' the' "Story, Answering questions
about why he did .not give the story
to members of the Committee without
the name of Kohlsaat said, referring
to 'his experience before the Helm
committee that only time he had ever
done such a thing they threatened to
send him to Jail If he did not give the
name.. .'' : : -:.
By what code of morals or good
citizenship I should like to know," de
clared Senator Gamble, "could you
keep secret such information as you
believed you possessed when your sen
ator and fair name of a state was in
question."
As. an. editor ." began the witness
when 8enator Lea, himself an editor
Interjected that '"good citizenship does
not require the sacrifice of personal In
tegrity." '. "
Kohlsaat agreed with that, adding,
"Senator Gamble, If you ever bestow
upon me such confidence I assure you
will keep it."
Kohlsaat said besides Roosevelt he
had only divulged Funk's name In
connection with the conversation to
Victor F. Lawson, owner of the Re
cord-Herald and Mrs. Kohlsaat.
Did you believe what Funk told
you; tne witness was asked.
As Implicitly as if my wife had told
me, replied Kohlsaat.
