CHAMP CUIRK
0 II 6 LEADER
Noted Missourian Slated , to
' -Head Majority in Con-
- gress His Career. '
: (Special DUpitck to The Journal.) .
' Washington. D. C, Pec I. Though
the congressional mill will not begin
to grind until next week, the usual pre
liminaries . In . the way of , committee
meetings and conferences are already
well under way. Of these preliminaries
by far the most Interest attaches to
. the caucus of the Democrat lo members
of the house, which uas been canea lor
Saturday to choose a leader to succeed
.Representative John Sharp 'Williams of
Mississippi, who retired from . the
minority leadership last spring upon
uis eiucuon o uu eeuwc.
There Is little room to doubt that the
leadership will fall to Representative
Champ Clark of Missouri. ' Mr. Wll
- liams and his frfejids are supporting
the Mlssourlan. There Is little) op
position to Clark, though the name of
representative Henry or Texas n&s oeen
mentioned as a possible- candidate for
the loadershlp. Clark's colleague. Rep
resentative De 'Armond, is understood
to be opposed to Clark. De Armond has
aspired to the leadership for a number
of years and his defeat for that honor
X 3ftjinalis was one of the causes of
the enmity between the two which cul
minated in a personal encounter on the
Itoor or me no use last winter. . ,
Talks with leading Democratic mem
bers who have arrived in Washington
indicate that Clark has virtually sure
thing of the leadership. It is claimed
today by the Clark supporters that nei
ther De Armond nor Henry will de
velop an; considerable strength in the
caucus.
Comparing Clark With Williams.
Champ ,Clark is probably .the best
known figure on the Democratic side
and, without much Question, the most
popular one. For several reasons his
elevation to the minority leadership Is
worthy of notice. There promise to be
some phases of his leadership that will
be in marked distinction to the leader
ship of John Sharp Williams. Many
Democrats believe, and in this number
are some of the best friends of Wil
liams, that Clark will make-a more ef
fective, leader than the noted member
from Mississippi. For one thing, the
Missouri representative will go Into the
leadership with practically the united
support of the Democrats, of the house.
He Is accounted a better politician than
Williams and less inclined to consult
his personal likes and dislikes in the
makeup of committees and other mat
ters. He is expected by the Democrats
of the house who know him to sink his
personal' feelings as to members and to
make up the committees, on the Demo
cratic side, with reference solely to
personal fitness. One of the important
committees to which he will have to
give attention is the ways and means
committee. In view of the fact that
revision of the tariff is supposedly near
t hand. It is not to be undertaken in
the sixtieth congress, but astiis ways
and means committee is made up at
this session it will be for the most part
In the sixty-first congress. ' Clark is
now ins ranKing minority memner on
the ways and means committee. If
he becomes the minority lender he will
leave the committee himself and It is
expected as an act of courtesy will put
m nil place ue Armona or Missouri.
De Armond Is a hard worker and a
strong advocate of tariff reveslon
Clark's Remarkable Career.
Few members of the house on either
side hava had a wider range of experi
ence than has Clark. He is 68 years old
, and a native of Kentucky. He was
fraduated from Kentucky university at
exington and studied law at the Cin
cinnati law school. In 1873 and 1874 he
was president of the first normal
school established in West Virginia.
After his experience there he removed
to Missouri and bcame principal of the
high school at Louisiana in that state.
In 1876 he began the active practice of
law and for several years served as city
attorney of Louisiana. Then came a
period of two years of service as edi
tor of a country newsnaDer.
Clark's public career dates front 1880,
In which year he was chosen as presi
dential elector and also a member of
the Missouri legislature. He was elected
to the fifty-third congress In 1892, and
to the fifty-fifth congress In 1896, and
has since been biennially reelected from
the Ninth Missouri district. He Is an
eloquent speaker and ready In debat?,
as more than one of his Republican
opponents has found out when engaged
in a forensic tilt. Clark Is supposed to
he pretty well fixed financially, a large
part of his wealth having been made in
recent years on the lecture platform.
