Prominent DoopLe Seems Slated For Speaker
The speaker’s chair may soon go to Champ Clark of Missouri as the Democratic frontrunner, with rivals James Hay of Virginia and Robert L. Henry of Texas active. Clark, born in Kentucky in 1850, built a long political career in Missouri after moving there as a youth. His wife Genevieve Bennett trained him in elocution and speechmaking, shaping the candidate who rose from a modest lawyer to congressman. The Clark home life is described as tidy in its quirks, with a domineering library and an ever-present request to not disturb the books. Clark shortened his name from James Beauchamp to Champ, a nod to his father’s surname.
