as outmoded as @ home brew set McDaniel insists. In Christian county, he said, they let them vote, then let them remove the ballots from the box and change them to suit the G. o. P.
 Democrats also fumed about the accommodations in some of the poll ing places. Take Fancy County, for instance, in the heart of the "Shep- herd of the Hills" country. Me- Daniel ayers there were no polling booths and htet Republican spell binders whooped 1t up for their can didates inside the voting place in an effort to snatch erring brothers who cast sheep's eyes at Democratic names on the ballot.
 Douglas County didoes really set the Democrats afire. In that strong hold of Republicans, Democrats charge egg crates were stacked up to be used as polling booths, that an officer of the law handed ballots to voters and watched them marked, and that one Republican judge counted the ballots without benefit of e Democrat watcher as provided by law.
 Not satisfied with such unconven- tional activities, G. o. P. stalwarts in some counties rounded up willing workers in Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, marched them across the line and voted them for Donnell, the Democrats charge.
 Backlashes from the McDaniel cry of corruption are now pouring

Skaggs and Republican State Chair man Charles Ferguson, the Demo- crats charge the G. O. P. unlaw- fully established headquarters only 25 feet from & voting booth, march, cd voters right into the polls, and paid them off with cash and whis- key.
 Republicans there set up super service for apathetic voters by car- rying ballots to citizens too tired or too busy to get to the polls, Democrats charge.
 OUT-SLICKING

 Some real business went on down in Wright county, where the Demo- crats say a Negro voter, after cast ing one straight for the G. o. P, asked, "Where's my receipt, boss, so can collect for voting like they told me top"

 A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR
 BALLOT-BOX STUFFING?N
 Some Democratic county commit. teemen objected to the McDaniel petition as 1t applied to their coun- ties, insisting the country folks would have no part of crooked elec- ton business.
 A few anti-machine Democratic legislative leaders fought the inves- tigation and insisted Donnell had been elected fairly and squarely They said trumped-up charges against Donnell would hurt their party.
 Now that McDaniel's cards are on the table, however, many believe he holds an ace or two, especially when 1t comes to charges of buying votes on credit and carrying on interstate commerce in vote-snatching.
 What the boys In the backroom really want to know however is whether the fiddle-playing corn growers have developed q technique that will revolutionize the ancient art of ballot-boX stuffing in the bright light districts.

I
 The accusations range from buy ing votes with Ozark mountain dew and giving receipts to voters so that they could collect later for voting right, to herding voters over state lines into Missouri to vote Republi- can.
 The boiling gubernatorial row in Missouri appeared settled after the state Supreme Court ordered the Democratic controlled legislature to seat Donnell-and right now-as the first Republican governor since 1883.
 But that was only the beginning. No sooner did Donnell east back in the executive chair than his bulky Democratic opponent and Sunday School teacher, Lawrence McDaniel, slapped down a contest petition larger than most city telephone d. rectories and containing some of the most amazing charges of ballot-pil- fering ever hurled in this land of the free.
 MCDANIEL VOICES
 DEMOCRATS WRATH Equally upsetting were attempts of McDaniel, labeled the machine and saloon" candidate by his foes, to pin the thievery tag upon the Republicans of the Ozark hill coun- ties--the fountain-head of most of the oratorical skinning given the then high-flying Pendergast ma chine couple of years ago.
 Democratic wrath spilled over for two reasons. First, Donnell won by only 36l3 votes, while the rest of the c. o. P. state and national ticket was sunk by majorities ranging up to almost 100000 for President Roosevelt.
 Second, 1t was mighty important for the Democratic state organiza- ton, and especially the branch bossed by Mayor Dickmann, of St. Louis, to keep control of the gu- bernatorial gravy bowl, Q matter Of four or five thousand jobs.
 Dickmann is running for third term as Mayor, and if the Demo- crats lose the St. Louis City Hall, their state power and Bennett Champ Clark's scat in the U. s. Senate will be gravely menaced.
 Vote.stealing and ghose-voting was once the city slickers shout that the clod -hoppers make them look like an eighth grade class in good government.

those parts and in the legislature aren't angry about the Democrats pointing the finger of shame. Angry is too gentle an adjective. They are "madder than Q wet hen," and in Missouri that is about as wrought up as you can get.
 A chief spokesmen for the heated hill-billies is Buford Skaggs, an ail- gular Republican legislator from deep in the Ozarks with a voice made for hog-calling. Says Skaggs:
 Sure we're hill-billies and proud of 1t and no gol-durned bunch of city dudes who stole all the votes in Kansas City and plenty of 'em in St. Louis Is going to smear us with stinking lies and get away with it."
