havoc with their opponent in many a
battle.
After Mr.. Williams was nominated
for the senate, he resigned the min
ority leadership and on the first Mon
day in December, 1908, Clark was
unanimously elected his successor. 1t
was well known that Williams wanted
Clark to be his successor and had
resigned to insure. his election and
had put him in nomination in the
caucus. The twenty seven months of
Clark's minority leadership were one
long battle. During all that time the
war to reform both the Tariff and
the rules of the house ragged with
tremendous fury. That long and lit
ter contest ended in the election Of
Democratic house and of Mr.. Clark
to the leadership.
leadership would fill a large volume
and it would be one of the most in
teresting chapters in the history of
American politics. From the very be-
ginning Clark fought the Republican
machine to a finish at every point.
He inaugurated his leadership by a
bitter resistance to the infamous ship
ST dy bill, which was defeated by
! one vote after an exciting contest.
Clark and his lieutenants formed the
coalition with the Insurgent Republi-
cans which split the Republican party
wide open; nursed the Insurgents
along and kept them by the side of the
Democrats; IT was Clark who led the
| fight for the liberalization of the
house rules; II was Clark who led the
| fight against the extravaganza of the
Republican house. Most of all 1t was
| Clark who was the central figure in
the fight on the Payne Aldrich bill
He may be said to be the first speaker
of the house to be chosen by popular
election since ii was clearly under
stood in the last campaign that if the
Democrats carried the house, Clark
would be the speaker and If the Re-
publicans won Cannon would be re-
elected.
For two years Clark was in the ex-
| tremely delicate position of radically
| different elements. constantly inclined
to be at each others throats. Clark
not only had to keep the Democrats
| together, but he had to keep them in
| harmony with their Tnsurgent allies
A man of less patience and Of less
tact could not have succeeded, A man
in whom both Insurgents and Demo
