The Prairie Pooch Hole
The following text copied from Shorpy...
1912. "Democratic National Convention, Baltimore. Bennett Clark, son of Champ Clark." Beauchamp Clark, favored to win the presidential nomination, ended up losing it to Woodrow Wilson. Son Joel Bennett Clark represented Missouri in the Senate from 1933 to 1945. Harris & Ewing glass negative.
Someone kindly left a comment that corrects some details of the above Shorpy blurb...
The Presidential candidate in 1912 was Champ Clark, who changed his name from James Beauchamp Clark. His son Bennett Champ Clark (who changed his name from Joel Bennet Clark), and who is in the picture, was elected to Senate in '32.
Thank you!
