‘The Lion Of Democracy’Champ Clark Loses Presidential Bid

This is the final story in a three-part series by award-winning jour-nalist, author and public relationsprofessional Brent Engel ofLouisiana.

A moment that should have beentriumphant instead turned tragic.

Champ Clark was denied the topspot on the 1912 Democrat ticket bythe efforts of William JenningsBryan and a couple of arcane partyrules.

It would be hard to find anotherman who was so viciously malignedand cheated, yet still showed moreclass than all of his foes put together.Equally appalling was that hisstrong-willed wife would not havelegally been able to vote for himeven if he had gotten the nomina-tion. She wasn’t as forgiving as herhusband.

March 7 will mark the 170th an-niversary of Clark’s birth and 2020is the 100th publication anniversaryof his two-volume autobiography,“My Quarter-Century of AmericanPolitics.”

Much has been written aboutClark’s 1912 campaign. Even withthe hindsight of more than a century,the squalid tale remains an odiousexample of staunch mulishness andbackstabbing treachery. Clark gra-ciously promised he would not letrebuke change him.

“I never scratched a Democraticticket or bolted a Democratic candi-date in my life,” he famously said.“I shall not change the Democratichabit now. I am too seasoned a sol-dier not to accept cheerfully the for-tunes of war.”

Unlike today, political conven-tions of Clark’s era carried all kindsof drama. The Missourian had theoverwhelming support of most del-egates as the party gathered in Bal-timore on June 25.

Bryan was a one-time friend ofClark whose presidential aspirationshad met with failure three times.However, the Nebraska senator still

wielded immense power, despitebeing called a “political corpse” byone fellow Democrat. Often nick-named “The Great Commoner,” hewas determined to play a role.

The rules were obsolete dictums.The one the convention decided tokeep required a candidate to get atwo-thirds majority of delegates tosecure the nomination. The decreethat was dumped – the so-called“unit rule” – required delegates tovote as a group for the candidate fa-vored by the majority of each state’smembers. Clark would be hurt byboth decisions.

The goal for Clark and his chiefrival, New Jersey GovernorWoodrow Wilson, was 725-and-one-third delegates. The Missourianachieved a simple majority overWilson on the 10th ballot, substan-tially increasing his vote total whileWilson’s gain was minuscule.

The chicanery came after the 13thvote, when in a prominent speechBryan told the convention heplanned to switch from Clark to Wil-son. It was a gigantic game changer.Howls, jeers and applause at oncearose from the convention floor.

While some praised Bryan, othersoffered contempt. One delegatequestioned whether the war horsewas still a Democrat. Another of-fered $25,000 — more than$640,000 today — to have himkilled.

“This is a hand to hand strugglesuch as has not been witnessed inAmerican politics in our genera-tion,” the New York Evening Newsdeclared.

At the time, Clark had 554 andone-half to Wilson’s 356. The NewYork Sun said Bryan had “cata-pulted himself into the situation”and in “his turn on his old friend pre-sented one of the most dramaticscenes that this extraordinary con-vention has witnessed.”

Bryan claimed Clark was be-holden to Wall Street interests and

wasn’t progressive enough. Clarksaid it was “wickedly false” andhypocritical for Bryan to link himwith Wall Street financiers, espe-cially after Bryan had so eagerly ac-cepted the support of big business inhis own 1900 and 1908 campaigns.

A big California banner champi-oning Clark was forced up to theconvention platform and a fight was“narrowly averted as the officers ofthe convention forced it back downthe steps,” the New York Tribunesaid.

Most, including Clark, believedBryan’s speech was an indiscreet,self-serving effort to throw his hatinto the ring for consideration.While never declaring his candi-dacy, Bryan’s rant certainly causeddelegates to rethink their votes forClark.

“Champ Clark was angry andhurt witnessing his seemingly in-evitable victory being snatchedaway,” wrote historian RichardAllen Morton, adding that it “wassuch a ruthless and unfair twist offate.”

Clark lost only one delegate onthe 14th ballot, but Wilson picked upfive and the tide began to turn.While Clark could in no way haveanticipated or prevented Bryan’smalicious speech, he bore at leastpart of the responsibility for notbeing able to immediately refute it.

Neither he nor Wilson attendedthe convention, which was protocolfor candidates at the time. In a do-main which took the definition oftawdry to new heights, it was some-how considered unseemly to do so.

Had he been there, Clark couldhave summoned his dominantly per-suasive powers of speech to chal-lenge Bryan’s charges. As it stood,the Speaker caught a train to Balti-more and arrived just 15 minutesafter the convention adjourned forthe evening.

Van-Far Indians Are Class 2 District 5 Champs For A Three PeatBY BRICE CHANDLER

STAFFWRITERThe Van-Far Indians claimed the

title of Class 2 District 5 champsafter ending Clopton’s run Saturdaynight. The Indians won 48-36 andwill advance to face District 6 cham-pions, the Milan Wildcats onWednesday night in Hannibal.

The big game began with a slowstart and ramped up as both teamsdisplayed heart and a desire to win.

Van-Far’s Verdell Johnson wasthe big scorer of the night putting atotal of 13-points on the board de-spite sporting an injured andwrapped wrist.

Even though Clopton had thehome-court advantage, the Indiansstruck first when Colin Wilburnnailed a three-pointer early in thematchup.

The Hawks answered on the nextpossession with a series of quickpasses resulting in Kennon Wattsputting in a layup.

Both teams spent most of the firstquarter testing each other out and ze-roing in on the net. Van-Far led forthe first portion of the quarter until

Clopton’s Hoehn landed a three-pointer midway through.

Clopton kept up the full-courtpressure and held a one-point lead toend the firstt (9-8).

The Hawk’s lead was short-livedafter Wilburn landed a two-pointer inthe first minute of the second quarterfollowed up with a three-pointerfrom Hanson.

The Indians maintained the offen-sive pressure and tacked on another10 points in the second quarter.

Bad bounces off the rim plaguedClopton throughout the matchup.That factor coupled with Van-Far’sdefensive game denied their topscorers room to run the ball to the netand kept them off the scoreboard.

Van-Far took control early in thesecond and held on to end the firsthalf with a 21-16 lead.

The Indians continued to domi-nate the match-up allowing Cloptononly four points in the third quarter.Sean Middleton helped extend theirlead with two 3-pointers.

Clopton’s head coach Francis kepthis players in the game despite trail-ing by eleven points going into the

fourth quarter. “Get your head up,”he urged a player on the bench. “Wenever put our head down no matterwhat. Let’s go.” He followed with afirst bumpto the discouraged player.

The move had some effect as theHawks rallied in the final quarterearning 16-points and chipping awayat Van-Far’s lead. Yates landed a 3-pointer to bring them within fivepoints tying the game.

Both McPike and Yates scored offrebounds – Yates picking up his own.However, missed free throw oppor-tunities and turnovers kept the teamfrom closing the distance.

Van-Far outscored Clopton earn-ing 17-points in the fourth quarterand holding on to their lead for thewin with a final score of 48-36.

Along with Johnson, CaydenCaldwell (12-points) and Rylee Han-son (9-points) rounded out Van-Far’stop three scorers.

The Indians move on to faceMilan (23-3) in Hannibal onWednesday.

Keep an eye on The People’s Trib-une Facebook page for more photosof the district games.

Lady Hawks Lose Heartbreaker To ParisBY BRICE CHANDLER

STAFFWRITERThe Clopton Lady Hawks ended

their season with a heartbreaking 50-44 loss to Paris Lady Coyotes.

The Lady Hawks struggled tofind an answer to Paris’s 6’6” seniorTori Hamilton who put up 21 pointsduring the championship match.

Caragan Lockard scored 4 pointsin the first quarter followed by three-pointers from Taylor Akers andMadisyn Parrish. Despite their earlypush, the Lady Hawks found them-selves trailing by five points at theend of the quarter.

Unable to gain valuable groundunder the net, Clopton nailed twomore three-pointers in the secondquarter while attempting to find aweakness against the taller Pariscenter who snatched rebounds andknocked down layup attempts.

The Lady Hawks battled to keepthe game close in the second quarterby only allowing Paris nne-points.Yet they still trailed 24-10.

Coming out recharged in the sec-ond half, Clopton’s Harrelson foundher pacing and earned 12 points inthe third quarter to answer Paris.With help from Akers, the duo

outscored Paris with 15 points forthe quarter, but unfortunately, theLady Coyotes kept up with 13 pointsof their own.

Harrelson was the high scorer ofthe day earning a total of 23 points(including five three-pointers) beat-ing out Paris’s Hamilton. Akers (9points), Lockard (7 points), and Par-rish (5 points) all put points on theboard.

Paris continued to hold on to thelead through most of the fourth quar-ter as Clopton edged closer. In thefinal 30 seconds of play, Lockardput the Lady Hawks to within athree-pointer of tying the gamewhen she scored two points.

Just after a Clopton timeout, theLady Hawks regained possession ofthe ball with just enough time forone last attempt, but a series of foulsended their hopes as Paris ended upscoring three more free throws toend the game 50-44.

A tough and heartbreaking loss toa game well played.

Clopton ends their season (19-7)with the second place Class 2 Dis-trict 5 award.

“Champ Clark was angry and hurtwitnessing his seemingly inevitablevictory being snatched away,” wrotehistorian Richard Allen Morton,adding that it “was such a ruthless andunfair twist of fate.”Clark lost only one delegate on the

14th ballot, but Wilson picked up fiveand the tide began to turn. WhileClark could in no way have antici-pated or prevented Bryan’s maliciousspeech, he bore at least part of the re-sponsibility for not being able to im-mediately refute it.Neither he nor Wilson attended the

convention, which was protocol forcandidates at the time. In a domainwhich took the definition of tawdry tonew heights, it was somehow consid-ered unseemly to do so.Had he been there, Clark could

have summoned his dominantly per-suasive powers of speech to challengeBryan’s charges. As it stood, theSpeaker caught a train to Baltimoreand arrived just 15 minutes after theconvention adjourned for the evening.With radio and television yet to be

invented, he was forced to put outwritten comments. In part, Clark saidan “outrageous aspersion was castupon me...by one who of all menought to be the last to besmirch or be-tray his friend or his party.”“I am not here to plead for a nom-

ination or to attempt to influence anyman’s political action,” he continued.“Let every man proceed in this con-vention according to convictions andthe expressed will of his constituents.I ask no undue consideration from anyman, be he friend or foe, but I demandexact justice from every Democrat, ei-ther in this convention or throughoutthe nation.”Voting continued the next day as

Clark’s lead diminished further. TheSpeaker finally lost his majority onthe 30th ballot. After the 33rd vote, theMissouri delegation — which in-cluded Edward A. Glenn of Louisiana— promptly displayed a banner de-signed to shame Bryan. It featuredwords of praise which Bryan had forClark in 1910.

The demonstration “became a riotwhen a dozen Missourians carried thebanner across the hall and flaunted itin the face of Bryan,” the EveningWorld said. “The Peerless Leaderflushed angrily as a hooting crowdgathered around him.”Bryan shouted from the platform

that “No man living can insult me tomy face.” Of course, the Nebraskanhad thought it necessary to insultClark while the Speaker was 40 milesaway, but that didn’t register. Fist-fights broke out and the police had tobe called to quell the violence.The longer balloting dragged on,

the more delegates became frustrated.The Sun said the “Missouri crowdwas particularly ill tempered” and that“the Clark people have practicallyabandoned hope” that he would getthe nomination.Clark met with his advisers and

urged them to fight on, but it was toolate. Illinois switched to Wilson on the43rd ballot. At 3:33 p.m. on Tuesday,July 2, Wilson claimed the nomina-tion. Though 84 delegates had stillbacked Clark in the final tally, the votewas declared unanimous for the for-mer Princeton University president.Clark declined the vice presidential

nod, despite the urging of many sup-porters. He said that in being Speakerhe “held an office of infinitely greaterimportance,” the Sun reported.Bryan also refused to be Wilson’s

running mate. Showing no shame, heoffered a preposterous speech as theconvention closed in which he said hecould “render more service to mycountry when I have not the embar-rassment of a nomination and havenot the suspicion of a selfish interest.”Clark promised to support Wilson

“with whatever power I possess andhope that he will be elected” beforeadding a caveat.“I lost the nomination solely

through the vile and malicious slan-ders of William Jennings Bryan ofNebraska,” he said. “True, these slan-ders were by innuendo and insinua-tion, but they were no less deadly forthat reason.”Clark’s wife, Genevieve, never for-

gave Bryan, saying he “was alwaysjealous of Champ and never lost anopportunity to knife him in the back.”An educator and gifted writer, she also

wrote a hysterical poem aimed atstates that didn't support her husband.One stanza reads:O, Texas, TexasThy solar plexusI’d like to give it a rap.O, would my name were a magic

spell.I’d give you a slapThat would wipe you off the mapClark remained a man of his word,

swallowing his pride and meetingwith Wilson for 80 minutes at thenominee’s New Jersey retreat on July12, 1912. He told reporters he wouldnot discuss two topics. One was poli-tics. Then, a journalist asked if Bryanwould have a part in the Novembercampaign. The Speaker pulled atoothpick out of his pocket before an-swering.“I don’t know and don’t care,” he

said. “That is the other thing I won’ttalk about.”In the general election, Wilson

handily defeated Republican incum-bent William Howard Taft, who splitthe GOP vote with former PresidentTheodore Roosevelt.As Speaker for the rest of his life,

Clark supported many of the progres-sive ideas Wilson put forth during twoterms while never abandoning hisown more conservative principles.Wilson suffered a massive stroke in

1919 that left him partially paralyzed.The seriousness would be kept fromthe public. In an ironic twist, Wilson’swife, Edith — who couldn’t legallyvote — controversially took overmost of his responsibilities as a proxydespite objections from Vice PresidentThomas Marshall. Wilson died at 67on Feb. 3, 1924.Had he been elected in 1912 and

again in 1916, Clark would have diedin office at age 70 two days before Re-publican Warren G. Harding took overon March 4, 1921. Thousands at-tended his funeral in Bowling Green.The California flag displayed by

Clark supporters at the 1912 conven-tion is prominently featured amongdisplays at the Speaker’s BowlingGreen home, Honey Shuck, whichhas been preserved and is available fortours.Bryan served under Wilson as Sec-

retary of State, but resigned on June 9,1915, due to concerns after the sink-ing of the Lusitania that the Presidentwas leading America toward joiningthe war in Europe. He would becomea crusader for religious values, includ-ing participation in the famous 1925Scopes Trial that challenged teachingabout the theory of evolution inschools.Bryan died at 65 on July 26, 1925,

and is buried in Arlington NationalCemetery. Part of the inscription onhis tombstone reads “friend to truth.”Historian Boyce House called

Bryan’s efforts at the 1912 conventionhis “greatest triumph” and Collier’sWeekly said he “reached the fullnessof his strength at Baltimore.” CharlesWillis Thompson, a political reporterfor The New York Times, said Bryan“left the convention a conqueror, anda bigger figure than he had ever beenin his life.”Clark’s supporters were equally

fervent. Louisville Courier-JournalEditor Henry Watterson calledBryan’s actions “unforgivable.” Bryan“hoists the standard of hatred and re-venge over what should be a march-ing army of brothers.”The Sun said that although Bryan

may have felt himself the victor, heactually had been “beaten, exposed,humiliated and discarded” and thatnot a “drop of toxin remains in the

hidden fangs of this gentleman.” TheWashington Times added that Bryanwas “politically shattered”Missouri U.S. Sen. James A. Reed,

who in nominating Clark for presidenthad called him “The Lion of Democ-racy,” said his friend definitely wouldcampaign for Wilson.“A Missouri Democrat is one of

those fellows who takes off his coatand starts to work for the ticket assoon as the convention is over, andChamp Clark is a Missouri Democ-rat,” Reed said.Clark and Bryan finally reconciled

after Wilson was inaugurated. Bryanapologized, saying he “did not intendto reflect upon (Clark’s) personal orpolitical integrity.”“It is beyond the power of Colonel

Bryan or any one else to correct theinjustice that was done to me at Balti-more,” Clark replied. “The loss of thePresidential nomination was a smallthing compared to the injury done tomy reputation in the eyes of the world.But now that Colonel Bryan in hispublic statement has done what he canto remove the injurious impressionsthat were created by his Baltimorespeeches, I feel that we can all the bet-ter cooperate for good of the adminis-tration.”In conclusion, the Pike County

icon again showed his magnanimousnature.

“I can only repeat what I have de-clared time and time again, that allpersonal or selfish considerationsmust give way to the duty all Democ-rats owe to our party and to our coun-try.”

MDC and CFMalso thank the more than 100 partic-ipating meat processors throughoutthe state who grind the donated deermeat into ready-to-use packages,and the many sponsors who finan-cially support the program.

Meat-processing fees are coveredentirely or in part by numerous localsponsors, along with statewide spon-sors that include: Shelter Insurance,Bass Pro Shops, Gateway AreaChapter Safari Club International,Missouri Chapter National WildTurkey Federation, Midway USAInc., Missouri Food Banks Associa-tion, and MDC.

The donated deer meat goes tolocal food banks and food pantriesto help feed hungry Missourians allaround the state. To get Share theHarvest venison, contact local foodbanks or food pantries.

Share the Harvest is coordinatedby MDC and CFM. Since the pro-gram was started in 1992, it has pro-vided more than 4.3 million poundsof lean, healthy venison to help feedhungry Missourians, including thispast season’s donations.

“Hunters started Share the Har-vest because they saw a need in theircommunities and hunters remain thedriving force behind this popularprogram that helps feed our fellowMissourians who are in need,” saidMDC Director Sara Parker Pauley.“We sincerely thank the thousandsof deer hunters who support Sharethe Harvest, along with the manyparticipating meat processors andsponsors who help make it possi-

ble.”CFM Executive Director Tyler

Schwartze added, “We greatly ap-preciate the hunters, processors, andsponsors for their support of Sharethe Harvest. The donated venisonstays in the local areas where thedeer were harvested so it truly ishelping out neighbors in need.”

The National Institutes of Healthstate that children need protein intheir diets for proper growth and de-velopment, and adults need it tomaintain good health. Yet manyMissourians can't afford or can't getto good sources of protein. ThroughShare the Harvest, Missouri hunterscan help provide those in need withhigh-quality protein in the form ofnaturally lean, locally harvested deermeat.

State Seeks Organizations To Provide Nutritious Meals To ChildrenFederally-Funded Program Helps Fight Childhood HungerThe Missouri Department of

Health and Senior Services (DHSS)is looking for organizations through-out the state to help feed thousandsof children who would otherwise gowithout meals during the summermonths when school is not in ses-sion.The Summer Food Service Pro-

gram (SFSP) reimburses organiza-tions for meals they serve to childrenunder the age of 18 who are at riskof not having enough to eat duringthe summer months. The program isone of the ways Missouri is workingto fight childhood hunger. Duringthe school year, nearly half of thechildren in Missouri qualify for, andreceive, a free or reduced-priceschool breakfast and/or lunch. Or-ganizations that choose to sponsorthe SFSP will help ensure that chil-

dren in needy areas of the state con-tinue to receive nutritious mealswhen school is not in session.

“Preventing food insecurity inchildren is an important step in im-proving the health of Missourians,”said Dr. Randall Williams, DHSSDirector. “Without the assistance oforganizations across the state, manyof Missouri’s children would gohungry during the summer months.”Organizations eligible to partici-

pate in the program as sponsors in-clude schools, faith-basedorganizations, camps, private non-profit agencies, and local govern-ment entities. The sites are requiredto be located in areas where at leasthalf of the children are eligible to re-ceive free or reduced-price meals.

The federally-funded program is

administered by DHSS. The depart-ment will accept applications fromorganizations March 1 through May15 to participate in the program. Or-ganizations interested in serving nu-tritious meals to children through thesummer are requested to apply.Training in the requirements for theprogram will be provided.

More information about the Sum-mer Food Service Program is avail-able online atwww.health.mo.gov/sfsp or by tele-phone at 888-435-1464 (toll-free).Hearing-and speech- impaired citi-zens can dial 711.

of catch-and-keep trout fishing in Mis-souri at the state’s four trout parks:Bennett Spring State Park nearLebanon, Montauk State Park nearLicking, Roaring River State Parknear Cassville, and Maramec SpringPark near St. James. The catch-and-keep season at the trout parks runsthrough Oct. 31.The Missouri Department of Con-

servation (MDC) operates trout hatch-eries at all four parks and stocksrainbow trout daily throughout theseason.Trout anglers need a daily trout tag

to fish in Missouri's trout parks. Dailytrout tags can only be purchased ateach of the four trout parks. Missouriresidents 16- 64 and non-residents 16and older also need a fishing permit inaddition to the daily tag.The cost of a daily trout tag to fish

at three of Missouri’s four trout parks-- Bennett Spring State Park, MontaukState Park, and Roaring River StatePark – is now $4 for adults and $3 forthose 15 years of age and younger. A

daily fishing permit for Missouri resi-dents is $7 and now $8 for nonresi-dents. The daily limit is four trout.New this year, MDC is conducting

a pilot program at Maramec SpringPark where the daily limit has beenraised from four to five trout and thecost of a daily trout tag for adults hasgone from $3 to $5 and from $2 to $3for anglers 15 years of age andyounger.

Trout hatcheries are just one waythat conservation pays in Missouri.MDC staff stock more than 800,000trout annually at the state's four troutparks and approximately 1.5 milliontrout annually statewide. Trout anglersspend more than $100 million eachyear in the Show-Me-State, whichgenerates more than $180 million inbusiness activity, supports more than2,300 jobs, and creates more than $70million dollars in wages. About 30percent of Missouri trout anglers comefrom other states, so a substantial por-tion of trout fishing expenditures is"new money" for the state's economy.

Missouri also offers excellent troutfishing throughout the state on riversand streams that support naturally re-producing trout. For more informationon trout fishing in Missouri, visitMDC online athuntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fishing/where-fish/trout-areas.Buy Missouri fishing permits from
