SENATOR CLARK WILUNOr RESIGN PLANS FOR RETAINING HIS SEAT IN THE SENATE. Reliance on Friends on Both Sides of the House Democrats Inclined to Make It a Party Matter Mr. Clark Has the Assurance of Sup port from Several Leading Demo cratic Senators. Washington, Apill 13. Senator Claik of Montana, has decided to make a light to retain his seat in the sen te He has assuiance ot suppoit fiom sev eral leading Democi title senatots and he has some friends on the Republican side, notably HanHbiough. Woltottanl Mason. It Is piobable that Senator Hacon, of Geoigla, will undertake the management of the light and the divis ion will be almost entlielv on paitv lines. Immedlutel nftei the announcement of the decision of the committee on pi i lieges and elections It was assumed geneially that Claik would submit to oen helming odds In lew of the fact that the foui Demociats on the com mlttee united with the Heupbllran in the opinion that his seat oiuht to be tlecluicHl acant Hut aftei consulta tion with his counsel Claik came to tin conclusion that he hnd a lighting chance, and that he could at least dif fer tho lesult He has been actlo In the last twent-four hours buttonhol ing senatois, and bus listed lonsller nblc suppoit nnd no little sympathy tor he Is personally well liked and theio are several senatois who will ote against him leluetantly b leason of theii ftlendly lelatlons with him. No Sentiment. Theie Is no llttlesentlinelit on tho Democratic side in making a sn ty matter of It It is understood that oiv reason toi this is u llbe-al contribution fiom the Montana mllllonniie to ihe Democi atle campaign fund. The politi cal exneits on the Democi. itle side ciltlclze seeiel the coiuse of the Demociats on the committee. They a , tlat Caffeij, Tuiley and Pettus are political accidents no one of whom has ever had am piactlcal experience l-i politics, and no one of whom under stands what it means to conduct an acllf cam ass foi tho senate. That they weie appalh d b. ibe though' of expendltuics which seemed to thun out of leason. but which weie ieall not txtiaoidinaiy. That foi Claik tospcml JloO.ooo in advancing his own political Intel ests was not In anj way icpre henslble, and that If liffei. Tmly and Pettus had not been childiin ill politics thej would not have attachtd any special importance to it. The Demociats who are uolng to make the fight do not expect th.it thej an com mand a majority of tne senate They will dliect their effoits to opposing the Idea that a senium can be unseated by a malotltv ote. holding tbat to de' chue Claik not legally eh tied amounts to exnulslon, and that a two-thiids vote will be neressniy to tucnmplUh this. It Is undeistiiod also that the fiiendsif Senator Claik aie counting on an anangement with the Quay p o ple. The two casts aie closel allied in their politic il healings. The icpoit of the committee will he made in a few daj.s, ami It Is believed that the piesentntlon of the eao against Claik will be so stiong that senatois will nnd a good deal of dllll cultj In lotlng against the lenoit.
