Williams predicts Champ Clark for Speaker and reform plan
Congress man at large W Elza Williams told a Whig representative at a Friday banquet that Champ Clark will likely be elected speaker of the next house, with patronage spread equitably and committee assignments apportioned. He noted the move could sideline independents and cited broad support in both houses and among the president’s aides for an early session date of April 16. Williams praised the house back of Wilson and described the current session as among the most strenuous in history while traveling from Washington to Quincy for the armor plant meeting.
