United States Government; and in this campaign
the trucking Truman had the braZen effrontery
to say:
81 am Jackson County organization Demo-
crat and proud Of it. That is the way got to be
County Judge. u Senator and the candidate for
Vice President"
This is the Harry S. Truman that Sena-
tor Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky came to Mis-
souri, to help from defeat in his primary
campaign against Governor Lloyd c. Stark and
United States District Attorney Maurice NJ Mil
Ggan. Truman's plurality was 1916 in Il total of
656,50l votes cast
Senator Humans tainted political background
was well known to the New Deal clique in Wash
ngton. but his value a yes man" to Franklin
ID. Roosevelt outweghed the elements Of common
decenty, and Dear Alben' was rushed to Mis-
souri, 10 save him from defeat.
The prosecution and Imprisonment of election
crooks. and the appointment Of an honest and
fearless board of election commissioners purged
the Kansas City registration rolls Of SG569
ghost voters
In editorial headed, "NIissng: $4,000
Ghosts" the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch, comment
ing on the purge of Pendergast potroons, said,
in part:
"The new registration figures reflect,
first the series of vote fraud trials conducted
by Federal Judges Reeves and Otis which
have resulted in many convictions and no
acquittals second, the appointment by Gov
ernOr Stark of Election Board free of
Pendergast control. 1t is these things that
have caused the rats of the PendergaSt
machine to run to cover"
Young men and women now old enough to vote
in the coming general election had not reached
their teens in grade schools when newspaper com
nent and radio programs rocked under the rot
tenness of election frauds under the infamous
Pendergast Democratic machine, which about that
time began to extend its Shiny tentacles into all
sections of the State of Missouri.
Older citizens today, heads of families occupy
ing places Of responsibility and trust in business
professional and official circles Wracked by New
Deal experiments and abuses and with their
emotions stirred never befor. by the about
allied effort to save the world from tyranny and
destruction, and as their prayers go out to our
fighting forces, may not have considered clearly
the records Of politicians who now seek promo
ton.
The purpose of this editorial is to warn the
reader against the danger Of elevating to higher
office colleagues of stalking ghosts that are
getting perilously close to the seat of govern
ment in Washington.

CHICAGO, July 21-R-
1914 electorate today with ;
The democratic party wooed the
platform calling for a fourth
term based on President Roose
velts record Gin peace and ir
war" and a promise to seek mill
tary backing to prevent another
blood bath of conflict.
The road ahead was paved with
party dissension over the raci;<
issue-sparkplug of q vain but
bitter southern revolt unallayed
by a plank ignoring definite
commitments sought by advo-
Gates and opponents of the
white supremacy" status quo.
PEACE OR WAR
THE democratic party stand:
on its record in peace and in
war;" said declaration bearing
the approval of the quadrennial
convention. ITO speed victory,
establish and maintain peace,
guarantee full employment and
provide prosperity-this is its
platform"
Asserting its 1,500-word state
ment of principles and promises
does not detail scores of planks,
>but instead cites action" the
party's short, short story por-
trayed its four-time candidate
as 1.-THE champion of human lib
erty and dignity"
In 40-word "racial plank
stripped alike of states rights
proposals and demands for en-
dorsement of anti discrimina-
ton, anti-poll tax and anti-lyn-
ching legislation, the party de-
clared:
eve believe that racial and
religious minorities have the
right to live, develop and vote
equally with all citizens and
share the rights that are guar
anteed by our constitution. Con-
gress should exert its full con-
stitutional power to protect
those rights"
A motion by tn Missouri de-
legation, apparently DETECTING
feeling among many southern
essary one-fifth support for q
democrates, failed to get the nec-
poll Of the convention on this
plank.
There was every outward sign,
however, of unanimity over the
foreign plank pledging affilia-
ton with other United Nations
in an organization to maintain
peace and prevent aggression by
using armed forces when nec-
essary."

N E AR OBSCURiTY SUR
ROUNDS DEATH OF STAR
OF SILENT SCREEN

HOLLYWOOD. July 2l-(R,
Death in comparative obscur-
ity has taken Mildred Harris,
one of the silent screens most
beautiful and highly-paid &C
.tresses and link with the opu-
lent Hollywood of the gold
doorknob and expansive swim
ming pool era.
Miss Harris, Al, a native of
Cheyenne, Wyo., died yesterday
of complications following an
abdominal operation. She had
so far faded from the public eye
that few knew she had resumed
her screen career about five
years ago and had been steadily
employed as a bit player, where
once she was reigning star
adored by millions.
Miss Harris was the first
wife of Comedian Charlie Chap
lin. She married him in 1918
when she was only l6, but was
an Observation-Disclosures star. She
resented the more or less gen.
eral belief that it was Chaplin
who launched her on her film
career, as he had done a num-
Der of other young actresses.
She often pointed out that she
never was his leading lady and
never appeared in a Chaplin
production.
Divorcing the actor in 1920
she resumed her film work,
playing a number of important
roles between 1921 and 1880.
She then turned to the stage,
made appearances in theaters
and night clubs and even had a
fling at burlesque.
But somewhere along the line
her fortune, which included a
sizable settlement from Chaplin,
disappeared, and she went
through bankruptcy in 1922.
She bore Chaplin one child,
who died shortly after birth and
whose grave is marked by
simple stone bearing the single
word "Mousie."
