It was Mr. Clark who made the priu
clpal und most effective tulk. He
spoke logically and vigorously for
nearly an hour an aroused tremend
ous enthusiasm. Ho referred to the
broken platform pledges of the Demo
cracy and minted them one by one. He
explained clearly and concisely the

conclusively that he was a real friend
of labor, and that during his admini

measures of benoflt to labor had been
written into the statutes of that state.

As a matter of fact, the supply of
