BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES

Champ Clark (1850-1921) was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1892. He was defeated in 1894, reelected in 1896, and served until 1921. During his tenure, he was twice elected minority leader, 1907-1909 and 1919-1921 and, from 1911 to 1919, he served as Speaker of the House. Clark was a candidate for the 1912 Democratic presidential nomination, losing to Woodrow Wilson on the eighty-fourth ballot at the national convention. Clark was a supporter of tariff reform and advocated isolationism and creation of a volunteer army prior to and during World War I.

Genevieve Bennett (1856-1937) married Champ Clark in 1881 and played an active role in the political careers of both her husband and her son. She also promoted such causes as women's suffrage and progressive labor legislation.

Bennett Champ Clark (1890-1954) served in France during World War I and then established a law practice in St. Louis. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1932 and served there until 1945. He selectively supported Franklin Roosevelt's policies, opposing some more liberal domestic programs and the administration's moves to escalate U.S. involvement in World War II. Although Clark was mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 1940, he supported Roosevelt's bid for a third term. In 1945, following his defeat for reelection, Harry Truman appointed him to the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., a position he held until his death.

Genevieve Clark Thomson (1894-c. 1982) also took an active interest in politics, campaigning for her brother in each senatorial race. Her husband, James M. Thomson (1878-1959), was a newspaperman first in Virginia, and then in New Orleans, Louisiana. Following his retirement, they returned to Virginia.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

This collection provides a fairly comprehensive overview of the political careers and family relationships of the Clark family, who held a respected position in Missouri politics from 1892 to 1945. The collection focuses most closely on Champ and Bennett Clark, the bulk pertaining to the latter.

The papers are arranged into the following series and subseries:

More complete descriptions of the series are in the folder list that follows.

The bulk of the Champ Clark materials were created during his tenure as a congressman. They reveal the inner workings of Capitol Hill, chronicle partisan party politics at the state and national levels, and document the congressman's activities on the Chautauqua circuit, in the political arena, and as a family member. There is considerable correspondence relating to his candidacy (and defeat) for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1912.

Most of Bennett Clark's materials coincide with his senatorial career. His opposition to some Roosevelt administration policies is evident, as is his leadership in the isolationist movement. Earlier letters describe his World War I experiences in France. Materials from his judicial career on the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., are also included.

Genevieve B. Clark's materials reveal her roles as confidant and supporter of both her husband and son's political ambitions. Her advocacy of such issues as suffrage for women and nonintervention in World War I is evident.

The correspondence of Genevieve Clark and James Thomson focuses primarily on family matters. However, Thomson's correspondence with Bennett Clark does discuss Democratic Party politics, particularly in Louisiana.

This collection will be of value to researchers interested in the Democratic Party, both at the state and national levels, and many national events during the first half of the twentieth century. Information on particular subjects will be found in more than one series; for example, personal feelings may be found in the journals while more public attitudes are discussed in letters or speeches.

FOLDER LIST

Correspondence, 1871-1973 Series.

This series includes the correspondence of Champ, Bennett, and Genevieve B. Clark and Genevieve C. and James M. Thomson. Most of the material is dated between the years of 1890 and 1954, with the bulk concerning Bennett Clark. There are primarily two types of correspondence within each of the subseries--material dealing with business and public interests and personal correspondence, which highlight the close relationships within the Clark family. The most significant correspondence is that of Champ and Bennett Clark, which contains information on politics in Missouri and the inner workings of Capitol Hill during much of the first half of the twentieth century. Each subseries is arranged in chronological order with undated correspondence at the end. Miscellaneous correspondence and fragments appear at the end of the series.

Champ Clark, 1871-1921, n.d. Subseries.

The bulk of the material in this subseries pertains to the years that Champ served in the House of Representatives; there is little correspondence prior to 1908. Correspondence for 1911 and 1912 contains many letters concerning Champ's candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination and includes letters from party leaders across the nation. Also of interest are Bennett's letters to his father during World War I.

Letters dated 1890-1892, appearing here as photocopies, were used as scrap paper for an article written in 1892 and apparently were not mailed.

Bennett Clark, 1893-1954, n.d. Subseries.

The bulk of material in this subseries coincides with Bennett Clark's two terms in the U.S. Senate, 1933-1945. Material before 1932 is primarily family and business correspondence, while the majority of material after 1945 pertains to his legal and judicial careers.

This subseries can be divided into four units. From 1893 to 1921 most of the correspondence is between Clark and his father and pertains to family and political affairs. Included in this are letters Bennett received from Champ during World War I, depicting the mood of those who were less than enthusiastic about American entry into the conflict. Correspondence for the years 1921 to 1931 concerns Clark's law practice in St. Louis and personal affairs, including the settling of his father's estate. A noticeable increase in Clark's attention to political affairs occurs between 1925 and 1931.

Correspondence from his senatorial years constitutes the third unit. Information on Democratic party policies at both the state and national levels is readily available, as is material on the default of Brazilian and Bolivian bonds. Clark's leadership in the isolationist movement and opposition to the Roosevelt administration's foreign policy is also evidenced here.

The final unit is composed of correspondence from the years Clark served on the Circuit Court of Appeals for Washington, D.C. and includes some information on court cases. Clark's continued interest in politics is evident and information on the Democratic party is plentiful. Material on Clark's financial affairs appears throughout the subseries. The following cards provide more detailed listings of the subseries' contents.
