Senator Clark of Montana in Robinson Crusoe of the Senate
The Saturday Evening Post sketch portrays William A. Clark of Montana as the richest but increasingly isolated senator. It notes his vast wealth, a cash-funded Salt Lake City to Los Angeles railroad, and his decision not to seek reelection. Critics say wealth alone cannot buy legislative talent, while Clark displays a keen commercial mind and relentless work ethic, yet remains socially distant and constantly at his desk.
