Missouri began take hand and long before the day Of the
primay-Augs 2we-inormed experts in calculating results
in political campaigns Of the Show Me" State predicted the fall
Of the mighty lord of the banks of the Kaw.
Vtuperaon and blngsgate became the order Of the day
Liquor flowed freely Claims
foated around like 50 many leaves In the wind
And long before all Of this pass Stark still
further incurred the enmy Of Mr. Pendergas appointing
election board for jackson County that promised
sure Kansas City fair election Pendergast looked them
and said there only Democrat in the bunch Newspapers
auded the Governor for his STEP They said they all

Congress from Missouri selected Penderra and
who has stood firmly back everything he has asked
for Stark followers declare that under present set-p he can

Champ Clark Of States House of
senior Senator from Missouri dehed Mr. Penderpast
and won his nomination without Kansas Citjans snno
showed IN the last primary that really strong in the State
He poled more than half million votes This time he had the
approval and support Of the Pendergast organization
senator Clark also is friendly to Mayor Dckman Of st.
LOUIS who while not yet having announcement is
avowedy grooming himself for Democratic nomination for
Governor OF Missouri two hence It beyond the pale
OF possibility that Senator Clark might line up with the star
Ddckmann machine especially after proven itself capable
OF wrestling with Mr. Pendergast and downing for the
count Of ten. ~

the entire Democratic ticket coming November election
I'm Democrat through and throush and vii, .t,ct .
