Champ Clark
James Beauchamp Clark is an American politician and lawyer who represented Missouri in the United States House of Representatives and was Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1911 to 1919. Born in Kentucky, he founded a law practice in Bowling Green, Missouri. He won the election to the House of Representatives in 1892, lost his seat in 1894 and regained his seat in 1896. He became the House Minority Leader in 1908 and was elected Speaker after the Democrats took control of the House of Representatives in the 1910 Elections. He unwittingly helped defeat the 1911 Canada-U.S. Mutual Treaty by arguing that ratification of the treaty would result in the annexation of Canada to the United States. A participant in the 1912 Democratic National Congress, Clark won the support of a majority of the delegates, but lacked the 2/3 majority necessary to win the presidential nomination.
