CONGRESSMAN CLARK DEFIES LEGISLATURE Tallahassee, April 16. In a speech before the Florida house Representative CWk asserted that he is responsible fo his constituents and not to the legislature. He was replying to a resolution denouncing him for his utterances in congress. Mr. Clark asserted that he did not attack Champ Clark or say that the Florida legislature instructed him to speak against Bryan.

He reiterated his attacks upon Bryan, designating him as "that Nebraska Populist," and said that Bryan is already a prospective leader for 1912. vHe declared he had done more for the party when Bryan was the standard bearer than all the backers of the resolution together. "Yes, I'll work for him again If he is nominated by the party in 1912," he said in reply to a question. "The people of the south in 1872 had to hold their noses and vote for Horace Greeley." Under government ownership of railroads, he asserted, negroes would hold all positions on the railroads, as they now hold them in the free delivery service. Crying Babies, Teething Children MRS.
