cLARk's NOTABLE CAREER

In the Democratic national conven- tion at Baltimore in 1912, Champ Clark led on twenty-seven ballots for the nomination as candidate for president and had clear majority on nine ballots, prior to the final naming of Woodrow Wilson. The tWo-thirds rule of the convention alone prevented MT Clarks nomina. tion. The honor which his party thus paid him was the most notable Of his public life. In American poli. tical history Martin Van Buren was the only other man who failed of the Democratic nomination for the presi. dency after having received a ma. jority of the votes in the national convention, but he enjoyed the unioue distinction of being elected subse. quently.
 William J. Bryan's sensational at. tack on MT. Clark at Baltimore, charging him with being affiliated With leaders representing the in terests," held the convention in dead lock for more than a week when if ended in the nomination of Wilson, bryans speech, declaring that Thomas F. Ryan, August Belmont and Charles F, Murphy were support Ing Clark, was bolt which made the Clark ranks waver. Clarke supnort. CTS declared afterward none of the three leaders mentioned were for Clark as first choice, but that the unit rule carried the New York dele gation to the Clark forces,
 The breach between Bryan and Clark never healed, although they met at luncheon arranged bv mu- tual friends a few months later and exchanged perfuntory speeches. Cool ness between Clark and Wilson wore off after the president entered the white House and on legislative poli- c1es they worked in harmony except Tn one notable instance, the repeal or the Panama tolls exemption, which Speaker Clark opposed unsuccess- fully
 The failure of his candidacy At Baltimore never ceased to be the dis appointment of MT Clark's life. He reused nomination as vice-president and told the house on the eve of his defeat that he preferred to remain as speaker.
 His election to the speakership of the house came in the Sixty-second congress, prior to the Baltimore con- vention, and it was by a united De- mocracy in recognition of the con- test MT. Clark had made against the rule of Speaker Joseph Cannon. MT. Clark had served in every congress since and including the Fifty-third in

ATTACKS BONUS BILL

ActiUe Life Of Famous
 Missouri Legislator
 Ends at Nati0n's CapitaI

1893 except the Fifty-fourth when he was beaten.
 Although Champ Clark was krowri as Missourian he was born in Anderson, Ky, on March T, 1859. He was christened James Beauchamp Clark, but early in life he reduced this to Champ Clark. His first work was as a farm hand, clerk in gen. eral store, and on a country news- paper.
 He was educated at Kentucky uni yersity and Bethany college, and the Cincinnati law school. For a short time he was president of Marshall college, and, at 22, held the record of being the youngest college presi- dent in the United States. In 1875 he moved to Missouri where he took up the study and practice of law, and became prosecuting attorney in Pike county. His next step was into the Missouri legislature where he framed the Missouri primary law, an anti trust statute, and an Australian bal , lot law. He was permanent chair man of the Democratic national con- vention at St. Louis in 1904 and head ed the committee that notified Alton B. Parker of his presidential nom- ination.
 He was first sent to the national forum in 1893. Although then re. garded as green" his strength in the house developed rapidly. When John Sharp Williams left the house for the senate. Representative Clark was made minority leader by virtue of his seniority on the ways and means committee which drafted the Payne-Aldrich tariff act. His ser vice on that committee in trying to keep duties down won him the re- gard of the Democrats and his speech of five hours against the bill was one of the notable addresses of that con gress.
 MT. Clark's sincerity, friendship for opponents and adherents alike, his fairness IS a presiding officer and his knowledge of history, his love of clean anecdotes and humorous stor- ies, and his marvelously retentive memory ranked with his attributes of leadership. He welded the minority a virtual Democratic unit when he was minority leader, and after the busting of Cannon, which robbed the speakership of many of it's powers, he divided with majority leader Un- derwood the control of the Democrats in the house and they formed a great working team.
 Physically he was a giant of man, standing over six feet two inches in height and weighing a trifle more than two hundred pounds.
 Speaker Clark and Mrs. Champ Clark, familiar figure in the speak er's bench in the gallery, entertained not only at an annual New Years house and at other functions but gave informal weekly luncheons at the capital to which members and others were invited. Genevieve Clark, whose engagement to James M. Thompson, a New Orleans news paper editor, was announced in the waning days of the Sixty-third con- gross, and Bennett Clark, parliament tarian of the house at the speakers appointment, whom the speaker hoped to have succeed to his seat in congress, comprised the rest of the immediate family.
