The st. Louis Republic thus
speaks of the career of the Hon.
Champ Clark:
Champ Clark, Chairman Of the
Convention, is one of the most pic
turesque men in public life. He
made several fights to get into
Congress, which were so bitter
and intense as to gain for his dis
trict the appellation of the Bloody
Ninth" The contests he waged
were so fierce that the Ninth twice
sent a dark horse to Congress. r.
II. Norton, of Lincoln, defeated
Judge Elijah Robinson, of Craw-
ford county by the flip of dollar,
which event has passed down into
history as one of the most dra-
matte in Missouri politics. Twice
Mr.. Clark essayed to down" Col
onel Norton, and he succeeded the
second time only by fight so hot
that the Democratic State commit
tee had to refer the matter back to
Crawford covnty, which was then
in the Ninth District. This coun-
ty sought to decide the matter by
convention, over which there was
a contest. The State Committee
ordered Il primary in Crawford
county, and Mr.. Clark won it. His
first term in Congress was rapidly
successful. He became a national
figure and his triumph was as
complete as his struggle had been
hard. From that day to this he
has never had opposition for the
Democratic nomination. His dis.
trict has been once changed, but
that made no difference, and he
has be elected four times. His
hold on his district is so secure
that the only hope of the states
men from the Ninth who are am
bilious to go TO Congress is to get
Clark into the Governorship or the
Senate. AS a Congressman lie is
the peer of any in Missouri. He
attends to the details as well rs the
greater things of the position. He
polls a great number Of Republican
votes, and always runs away ahead
of his ticket. In '0G lie even ran
ahead of Bryan.
LECTURER AND AUTHOR.
His service in Congress has con-
tributed no more fame to his name
than his work as lecturer and
writer. 1t is well known that his
platform speaking and from his
literary contributions to the maya
zines and his syndicated political
letters is several times as much as
his salary as a Congressman.
One of the most signal services
he has rendered to the whole cOun-
try in Congress was the readOptiOn
of the Chinese exclusion act in
1902. Mr.. Clark is a special ad-
vocate of labor interests, and he
led the fight for the exclusion of
the pauper immigration from Chi
ma, which he regards as the great
est menace to American labor. His
service on this question made him
strong in the Pacific Coast States.
Mr.. Clark is one of the closest
friends of VIM. j. Bryan and a
free silver leader. 1t is great
tribute to his breadth of mind and
fairness that Mr.. Hill, who holds
the absolute majority in the con
vention, was so easily persuaded
by Senator Baily that Mr.. Clark
would make an acceptable chair
man.
Mr.. Clark's simple honesty and
absolute integrity are so well
known that even those who are on
the opposite side of the question, as
Mr.. Hill is known to be, have
confidence in him and are willing
to trust him. Clark is without any

Convention in st. Louis. % r. % ~

of the tricks of the politician. The
act of Senator Bailey in declaring
such an honor as the chairman
ship in honor of his friend Clark
has few parallels in politics and
the tie of friendship between them
reminds one of the story of Da-
mon and Pythias.
BAILEY's EULOGY.
When Senator Bailey was in the
House as minority leader, Champ
Clark was his strong right arm,
and the loyalty with which he sup
ported Baily will never be forgot
ten. Senator Baily told the story
to the Republic, when he said;
1t is easy enough be Demo
ocrat now, but in those days, when
the tendency was so strong to go
off into the populistic ways it tried
the soul of a Missouri Congress
man to stand firm for real Democ-
raCy. Many men in the Missouri
delegation were against me, but
Champ Clark stayed with me like
a brother and a patriot. Some of
his colleagues tried to move him
from supporting Inc and l under
stand that a few of them will still
hold it against him, but they never
shook him. Do You think I would
run against a man like that for
any honor he wants? | would cut
my right arm off before / would
stand in the way of Champ Clark" "
Mr.. Clark was on the Foreign
Relations Committee, of the
House of Representatives for six
years, and in his service in that
position he came to be recognized
as an authority on the diplomatic
service.
He was promoted to the Ways
and Means Committee, the most
important of all House commit
tees, and during successive Repub-
lican Congresses he has climbed
up until he is now in line as the
ranking minority member of that
committee If The Democrats
should gain control of the Houses
he would be chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee. 1t is Mr..
Clark's ambition to be Speaker of
the House, Il position which he
regards as almost as important
and powerful as the presidency.
While on the Ways and Means
Committee his tariff utterances
have been regarded as adequate ex-
pressions of the policy of his par
ty.
Mr.. Clark has had much expert
ence as presiding officer of conyen-
tiOns. He is Il large man with a
commanding presence and a big
voice, and he knows parliamen-
tary rules and how to use a gavel
as we'll as any man in the country.
Mr.. Clark was born in Kentuc-
ky, aud the stirring scenes enact
ed in that State just after the
Civil War profoundly impressed
him in his childhood. No doubt
they led to habits ofthought which
have made him the picturesque,
sturdy character that he is. When
he came to Missouri he taught
school, served in the Legislature
and, was Prosecuting Attorney of
Pike County. When he next ap-
peared in public Office he was in
Congress, and all the hard study
he had done in the Intervening
years made it possible for him to
grow rapidly to distinction
His wife is almost as we'll known
us he is and her talents in ltera-
ture as well as her political acu-
men are conceded. Mr. and Mrs.
Clark have two children, one boy
and one girl, and their home life is
ideal.

'A' Va INV NOluSu hule, I0e
Declaration of Independence start
led crowned heads, for it was the
first utterance in the history of
civilization denying the right of
one man to govern others.
There had been uprisings of
the people before to demand re-
dress from wrongs, but the power
of king to grant or deny them
was recognized.
by this declaration the people
were proclaimed sovereign aud
capable of governing themselves.
Each American citizen is a constit-
uent part of sovereignty on the
throne Of American manhood.
Each is one twenty fifth millionth
of a sovereign. 1t may seem
small, but it marks the difference
between a citizen and the subject.
The right of suffrage which
every citizen has a priceless privi-
lege. Men have died in order that
one might have it; men would
rather die than give it up, yet how
indifferent some are, how careless
some are in its exercise.
1T is easy enough to be patri-
otic in the time of war, but what
we need now is more of the patri-
Otism Of peace. There can be as
much patriotism in the ballot as in
the bullet. There can be as much
love of country in discharging civic
duties as in putting on a uniform
and going into battle.
Every citizen is a soldier in
the army of peace, As in war,
some are laggards and some are
brave and true. History shows
that Republics are in more danger
in peace than in war. Where
wars and pestilences and other ca
lamities combined have destroyed
one Republic, the mysterious
agencies of corruption have un-
dermined score Enemies threaten
our Republic, not from without,
but from within. The givers and
takers of bribes are the greatest
enemies we have to deal with to-
day.
These are the enemies of peace,
more dangerous than the enemies
of war.
In the buildings of other ma
tions at the great Worlds Fair
principal place is given to the tro-
phies of war. In the Belgian
building, in marked contrast, chief
distinction is given the triumphs
of peace. A nation does not ad-
vance by war alone; its greatest
progress must be in peace.
When commerciaIism takes the
place in mems minds of patriotism,
when there is a mania for wealth
without a corresponding desire to
labor for its achievement, civic de-
cay is inevitable. When civic
honor is placed above sordid greed
aud civic righteousness aboye pri-
vate gain, things that dishonor
and oppress will vanish like evil
spirits at the dawn of day"
