BRYAN AND 8FEAK&R I JSSSZ BURY THE HATCHET ? Commoner and Champ Clark Make Up Quarrel?Issue Statements of Pacific Nature. Washington, April 19.?Speaker Champ Clark and Secretary William Jennings Bryan met at a private lnncheon here yesterday, shook hands and issued public statements declaring they had buried the hatchet and put the personalities of the Baltimore convention with the bygones. The luncheon was arranged by Theodore A. Bell of California, temporary chairman of the Denver convention in 1909, and chairman of the Californai delega- | tion supporting Champ Clark at Baltimore, and was given by Ira E. Bennett, editor of The Washington _ Post. i Intense interest was aroused in political circles over the reconcilia- * tion of the two antagonists, whose differences became acute as a result of events at Baltimore convention. 1 Ronrofortr Urvot* 'a I MWVivvai j m* i jail o cptl 1 CU OlUirment, issued last night, is as fol")W I 27TCLEARS MISUNDERSTANDING. ' "My meeting with Mr. Clark has served to clear up a misunderstanding as to my exact position towards him at Baltimore. I have tried to i make it clear to Mr. Clark that I ' have always regarded, and do now regard, him as a good, clean, progressive Democrat. If my language gt Baltimore created any impression that I was charging Mr. Clark ? with being in sympathy with any of the reactionary forces, I am glad of a the opportunity to correct any such misconstruction of my words or acts, for I did not intend to reflect upon either the personal or political I Integrity of the speaker. It is my j earnest wish that there may be cor- * dial co-operation between the state I department and the speaker in j carrying out the policies of the ad- ' * ministration." 1 Here is Speaker Clark's statement: WILL WORK TOGETHER. "It is beyond the power of Col- " onel Bryan or any one else to cor- , rect the injustice that was done to me at Baltimore. The loss of the presidential nomination was a small thing as compared to the injury done to my reputation in the ? eyes of the world. But, now that Colonel Bryan in his public statement has done what he can to rei move the unjust impressions that J^were created by his Baltimore speeches, I feel that we can all be better, co-operate for the good of the administration. I can only repeat what I have publicly declared time and again, that all personal or selflsh considerations must give way to the duty that all Democrats owe to our party and to our country." SAW MIST DISSOLVE. Those who sat at the table with the other already mentioned and j saw the disappearance of what many poltlcal sages thought the most embarrassing situation confronting President Wilson's admin lsirauon were: vice president Marshall, Secretary Lane, Senators ! Kern and O'Gorman, Represent- ! tlve Crisp, Secretary Tumulty, As- I sistant Secretaries Osborn and Ma- < ' lone of the state department, , Thomas L. Logan and L. L. James. Those in charge of the affair said j ; Speaker Clark and Secretary Bryan ! exchanged jokes and had a good t ; time. The statements were given \ i out through Mr. Bennett. So far as it is known it was the first time the two had met since the Baltimore convention. Speaker j ^ Clark's friends always have said j **- ijryan prevented his nomination ~rc? that it was through Mr. Bryan's 'ivity and influence that the con- ; ventlon, contrary to custom, refus- ' i i e dto give the speaker the necessary I two-thirds vote after it had given him a majority. Strong statements of a somewhat personal nature were also issued by Mr. Bryan and Mr. Clark at the time. The reconciliation was looked upon in political circles as the most I significant political development of the administration so far. 5 OGDEN CONTINUES HEAD OF EDUC ATIONAL BODY R?vElerte<l President of Southern Conference?Dr. 8.
