The article portrays Senator Clark as a frugal figure known as Mr Tightwad who avoids lavish entertainments and lives on roughly double his salary. Described physically as short yet lean with a large head and a long, wavy brown mane, he wears a tight Prince Albert coat and gray trousers. His thin whining voice contrasts with his fondness for singing, especially The Star Spangled Banner and The Last Rose of Summer, though Arizona Delegate Mark Smith quips he’d rather have Clark’s income than his singing.
