Especial emphasis Is laid on the

FORMER SPEAKER
Of HOUSE CALLED
CHAMP CLARK, DEMOCRATIC
LEADER, SUccuMBS TO ILL.
NESS At AGE OF n,
Veteran Congressman Began Service
In 1892, and Was a Candidate
for President at the Bal
timore Convention.

Washington Champ Clark, former
speaker of the house of representa-.
t.ves, and floor leader in the house
died March 2. He would have been
II years of age on March Z. Three
days before his birthday, Clark would
have retired from congress, where he
had served continuously since 1895.
Clark had been i'll for some time
suffering from pleurisy, complicated
by stomach trouble. Death had been
expected for several days, his physi-
clans having given up hope of his re-
covery.
| His death, coming within forty
eight hours of the departure of Wood
row Wilson from the White House
marks with dramatic emphasis the
close of decade of Democratic party
leadership in the nation.
Friends said the veteran died as he
wanted-with his political boots on.
Until two weeks before his death he
had been on the floor of the house
daily, directing his party there.
He was speaker of the house for
eight years.
In 1910 Clark, as Democratic leader,
played part in the near overthrow
of Speaker Joe Cannon, and his
prominence in that fight made him
a leading contender for the Demo-
cratic nomination for president at
Baltimore in 1912.
He had majority in the conven-
ton, but was beaten on the forty
sixth ballot by Woodrow Wilson.
The veteran congressman was
known and loved by young and old
members of the house. One of his
friends was James Mann, long his
opponent on the floor, where he led
the Republicans while Clark led the
Democrats.
Immediately after the death of Mr..
Clark was announced, the house re-
cessed for thirty minutes. Representa-
tive Rucker, Democrat, of Missouri,
who made the announcement, said it
was Mr.. Clark's wish as expressed
through his son, that there be no in
terruption of congress in it's closing
days. Il
Mr.. Clark presided over fhe house
throughout the world war, relinquish. /.
