from Mr., Clark's great legal
experience and learning, his

proper to be made. He was
admitted to the bar in 1914,

position In his profession. He
was elected Prosecuting AT.

iih1S46, during which term OF
service It'll is said he never lost
an indictment and seldom
failed to convict when convlc-
lions were proper, notwith.
standing he was yet young and
sollen brought in opposition to
nthe best and ableSt legal tai

was elected to the Legislature
where he took rank as an able
lawyer and as an industrious
and influential member of that
body. Returning from the
Legislature he devoted him.
