LUG UP FOR CLARK
Clark Sentiment in That State
is so Strong Others Will
Hardly Be in It
Hutchinson* Kin., March 13.-—
Nearly all of the 617 delegate* who
will comprise the Democratic sta'.e
convention to be held tomorrow have
arrived In th© city. . The Democrats
regard the outlook for the success
of their party In Kansae this year as
unusually bright, and the convention
promises to be an enthusiastic and
harmonious gathering.
The work cf the convention will
be confined to the election of dele-
gates-aUlarge to the Baltimore con
vention and the selection of a na
tional committeeman.
The predominance of Clark wen*
tlmsnt Is so marked that it Is not
believed the Wilson adherents will
attempt seriously to prevent the In
dorsement of the Missourian. The
indications are that the name of no
other aspirant for the Democratic
presidential nomination will
mentioned.

The Rooeeveli supporters are ex

SAVANNAH WANTS
ANOTHER NEW HOTEL
Evidence Indicates Greater
Part of Names to Petition
Secured by Fraud.
Salem, Ore., March 14.—Argu.
meat© were 'heard today before the
Stat© supreme court in the Universi
ty of Oregon referendum case—a
can© which Involves alleged fraude
under the referendum phase of tho
“Oregon system.” Before the law
appropriating 6503,000 for buildings
and extension^ of th© University of
Oregon at EujfiPe went lhto effect,
petitions asking a referendum on th©
bills were filed with th© Secretary
of State. Examination ot the peti*
tion© by friends of the University Is
raid to hav© disclose^ fraude and
Irregularities sufficient to justify a
suit, to enjoin th© Secretary of 8tat*
from putting the Question on th© 'bal
lot for next November.
Evidence Introduced In the trial
of th* injunction suit in the circuit
court Indicated that th© greater
part of the 13,000 names on the
petitions were secured by paid cir
culators at a few cents per name,
and that in the case of seven circu
lators gross fraude were charged.
Two lists of names were secured,
le alleged, by hanging tho peti-
tlohs In a saloon In Astoria, and an
other list ’ of 100 names from, the
Unites Is said to have contained the
names of men dead for years. Evi
dence was so conclusive that the de
fenders of the petitions lmd to ad
mit that 3,778 names were fraud
ulent, being forged, and in* addition
©ora© 4,524 names were presented
In a form of declared void by a prev
ious decision of th© State supreme
court.
Elimination of these names
brought the number of unattacked
names below th© limit required to
cnll a referendum. The secretary
of 8tate, however, contends through
counsel that a part of th© 4,525
names should bo considered good—
enough of the*© being claimed to in
sure the referendum.
The University won its case In the
circuit court, the Judge scoring
many of the signatures,
brief $led an appeal, th© University
contends that even the names un-
assaltod by direct evidence should
be looked upon with suspicion be
cause ot fraude admitted on the re
mainder .of the petition.

Savannah, March 14.—One of the
