Taken in 1912, the year he sought the Democratic presidential nomination, this portrait shows James Beauchamp "Champ" Clark while he was Speaker of the House of Representatives, a post he held from 1911 to 1919. The Missouri congressman led several early ballots at the party's Baltimore convention that summer, but he never reached the two-thirds majority required, and the nomination went to New Jersey Governor Woodrow Wilson after 46 ballots. The portrait captures a politician at the height of his national standing, just before that contest ended his bid.
