PROMISES HIS 1 NEUTRALITY PLAN LINE OF STEAMERS
TO CHAMP CLARK IN CHINESE FIGHT FROM
Entire Missouri Delegation to
Be Behind Speaker Candi
date for Presidency as Long
as He Has Chance to Win.
(raited Press Leased Wire.)
St. Louis, Feb. 10. Joseph W. Folk
of Missouri today withdrew from the
presidential race, when he agreed to
vote the entire Missouri delegation for
Speaker Champ Clark as long as Clark
thinks he has a chance to win the
Democratic presidential nomination.
Folk's withdrawal from the race for
the presidency admittedly places Champ
uiarK in the position or being a serious
opponent or wooarow Wilson and Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio for the Demo
cratic nomination. What strength Har
mon may really have is rather an un
known quantity. Wilson Is admittedly
strong, but he is also opposed by many
persons, whose enmity Is Ukely to be a
potent factor when the ballot casting
time arrives.
Prominent among those on whom
Clark apparently may rely Is William
R. Hearst. Hearst at present is losing
no opportunity through lils newspapers
to ridicule and abuse Wilson. He has
already gone on record as being favor
able to Clark, and if he sees no chance
of capturing the nomination for W. R.
Hearst, the one time Callfornlan may
come out as a "first and last" Clark
man.
Clark's record as speaker of the na
tional house has admittedly been such
as to make him friends, and from his
associations there with Democratic
leaders is expected to result no little
strength to his candidacy at Baltimore.
Folk and Clark had been fighting to
secure the Indorsement of the state con
vention which is to meet at Joplln.
Eighteen Folk delegates will be in
structed to vote for Clark aa long as
he appears to have a chance to get the
nomination.
If it becomes apparent that Clark can
not win the nomination and there should
appear a chance for Folk then the Clark
delegates will support Folk. In ex
planation of his withdrawal Folk this
afternoon said:
"I shall now ask my friends to make
no further effort in my behalf, I believ
ing that Clark, owing to his prominent
position, has perhaps a better chance to
secure the nomination than any other
Mlssourlan, and I therefore release all
claims that I may have had on Missouri
delegates. I shall ask my friends to
unite in giving Speaker Clark the unan
imous support of the Missouri delegat
ion."

are regarded as the most Important
step yet made toward German-American
diplomatic cooperation. The official
statement follows:
"The scope and object of the Amor.
lean-German exchange of notes were to
make known that preservation of neu

events, is necessary in the mutual In
tercets or both countries.
"The Knox note contains valuahls
statements of promises made by differ

assure Joint mutual agreement before

"It Is hoped the notes favorably ef.

ment of difficulties between conflicting

The exchange of notes is believed in
diplomatic circles to have a two-fold
purpose. The exchange notifies the
world powers that America and Ger
many are unitedly opposed to individual
Intervention with possible territorial de
signs, ana it notifies China that iolnt

It is today learned from a soure
