Clark, speaker OF the house OF
representatives, led his caravan
of followers tortuous way
along the dusty roads Of Seagirt TO

Governor Wilson met them half way
down the walk stretching away from his
front porch to the roadway, escorted
Mr.. Clark TO the wide porch, and there
completed the pilgrimage by grasping

and travelled down to Seagirt to get
acquainted with the next president.
