Show CHAMP CLARK IS HONORED. Democratic Caucus Chooses Mis-sourian Mis-sourian for Speaker at Next Session. Washington. The Democrats who will compose the house of representatives representa-tives in the next congress in a noisy caucus Friday night chose Champ Clark as their candidate for speaker and Claude Kitchin of North Carolina for floor leader to succeed Oscar Underwood, Un-derwood, who will go to the senate. Speaker Clark never received greater great-er applause on the house floor than that which was given him after he had been nominated by Representative Lloyd of Missouri and elected by a unanimous yell. When the noise had died away he warned his colleagues, who will have but a slim majority in the next house, that "the future of the party was tied up in the sixty-fourth sixty-fourth congress." He gave them a warning against the absenteeism which has marked the record of the present majority. |
