Figures Cited in Review of Vote Frauds
BV Penderaast Machine in Kansas Citv

In 1884 there were alleged to be
21,73l registered voters in Ward /,
from whom Mr.. Truman received
17,845 votes. A later investigation
disclosed that there we're 8,462 pos
sib1e voters in the ward in 1914 In
Ward 2, in 1884 there were 20,097
registered voters. of whom 1915
voted for Mr.. Truman. The 1914
investigation disclosed only 9.018
persons eligible to vote. In Ward 3
in 1884 there we're 13,845 registered
voters, of whom 8.142 voted for Mr..
Truman, while 10 years later an inl
vestigation disclosed only 6,845 ELI
gible voters. This net loss of 81 SAT
voters from Wards l, and of
Kansas City may have been a bona
fde loss, but doubt it. 1t looks as
if the registry had been padded with
ghost voters in 1884
$4,000 Ghosts Found.
While the figures quoted relate
only to three sample wards, the
same situation, in fact, existed in
eight wards in Kansas City. Mr..
Truman in all eight wards had re-
ceived a total Of 82,989 as against
387 votes for Mr.. Cochran. The
1914 investigation disclosed a total
of $4,000 ghost voters in 16 wards
of Kansas City. It seems that these
ghost voters accounted for the Tru-
man plurality. 1t is significant that
Mr.. Truman won over Mr.. Cochran
by only 40,745 votes, which is less
than so per cent of all the number
of ghost voters.
In 1910 Senator Truman was
again nominated. this time over
Gov. Stark His plurality was only
about 1000 votes Again. the Pen
dergast machine with its ghosts"
supported Mr.. Truman.
In the 1886 election, the Pender-
gast machine had again brazenly
stolen ballots. The United States
District Attorney at that time was
Maurice Milligan, the brother Of
Tuck Milligan who had fought Mr..
Truman in 1884 for the Democratic
nomination for Senator. AS the two
Milligan brothers studied the re-
turns coming in on election night
from precincts that they were con-
fident Tuck Milligan had carried,
Maurice vowed to break the Pender-
CAST machine and send the vote
thieves to the penitentiary AS a
result of his efforts, 270 election
officials were sentenced. In l3 jury
trials, 63 were convicted. 36 pleaded
guilty and 160 entered pleas of mole
contendere. The cases that were
nolle pressed numbered 10.
After he became President, Mr.
Truman proceeded to pardon (not
parole a number of these election
officials who had been convicted
When one of them, Mrs. France.
Ryan. who had been a judge 0.

Ross, publicity secretary for Presi

TheGreat Game0fPolitiCs
Blocking of Worthy Truman Appointees
Called Indefensible @. O. P Partisanship

General McGrath resigned to run
for Senator in Rhode Island. On
recommendation of Attorney Gen
eral Clark. Mr.. Truman appointed
Mr.. Perlman early in January.
For five months his appointment
has been held in the Judiciary Com
lmittee The reason for this almost
unprecedented delay seems TO be
the curious hostility of Senator Fer
guson, chairman of the subcommit-
tee. Some silly and trivial charges
by unimportant and clearly biased
persons were made Not one of
these charges has been substan-
ftiated
Yet, largely ignoring the answers,
Senator Ferguson appears to be-
lieve these charges discreditable to
Mr.. Perlman. though he has been
indorsed by the two Senators from
Maryland, the entire Maryland
delegation of the House, by unani-
nous resolutions of the Maryland
Legislature, the Baltimore City
Council, the Maryland State and
Baltimore City Bar associations.
Judges Sign Petition.
In addition, a week ago, re-
markable petition urging his con-
firmation signed by IL members of
the Supreme Bench of Baltimore
City was presented to Senator Fer
guson by Chief Justice Conway
Smith. 1t was supported by the
former Chief Justice, Samuel K
Dennis, by the present Chief JUS
tice of the Maryland Court of Ap-
peals, Charles Markell. and by the
former Chief Justice. Lindley Sloan
Senator Ferguson's manner to-
ward these distinguished judges
was abrupt, truculent, almost in
sulting. His examination of Mr..
Perlman was so unfair that former
Chief Justice of the Court of Ap-
peals Sloan. Republican, said
after it ended: This was an out
rageous performance. It makes me
ashamed of my party"
Exactly what is behind Senator
Fergusons extraordinary hostility
TO Mr.. Perlman is not easy to say.
His statement that all he wants is
to find out whether he is qualified
for the Office is absurdly inadequate
His Willingness to be convinced on
extremely thin evidence that MIR
Perlman is merely a political law
yer is as notable as the lack of
weight he apparently attaches to
the extraordinary judicial indorse-
ment presented in his behalf.
AS things stand now. it seems
Mr.. Ferguson's purpose to continue
obstructing the Perlman con-
firmation until the adjournment of
Congress in July when. under law,
his nomination would automatically
lapse. Not only will this be an
injustice to a thoroughly fit man
but it will have caused this impor-
tant post to be vacant for more
than a year, which is a disservice
to the Nation, 1t is the sort of gross
partisanship well calculated to stain
the Republican record and lessen
public confidence in Republican
professions of piety and patriotism

such times. and usually apply this
tactic, but win admit that it makes
my conscience hurt. even when I
achieve victory.
Certainly many a wife would like
to know If there is an unwritten
law which makes her always feed
the pets. although the pets are
claimed for their very own by her
children and husband. In 80 out OF
100 American homes it is the wife
who has the responsibility of the
dogs, cats, etc, but is this fair?
If a husband opens the car door
for his wife, after not having shown
such courtesy since six months after
the honeymoon, should the wife
smile appreciation or gre him a
look which says What in the world
has come over you?r

support Mr.. Pendergast had already
announced that he would be for Mr.
Slaughter. Notwithstanding this,
the President called Mr.. Pendergast
to Washington and insisted that he
desert Mr.. Slaughter and support
Mr.. Axtell He did, and on the face
of the returns, Mr.. Axtell won the
nomination. But the returns from
the political bad-lands dominated
by the Pendergast machine were so
grotesque as to arouse suspicion that
votes had been stolen for Mr. Axtell
1t appears that in the four wards
in President Truman's congressional
district, the total vote for Mr. AK
tell was 12104. That for Repre-
sentative Slaughter was 2.075. Since
the Axtell plurality In the entire
district was only about 1000, this
means that the additional 10000
votes for Mr.. Axtell in the Pender-
CAST hunting ground nominated him
The next chapter in the story was
of indictments by the grand jury
involving II persons. The theft of
the ballots followed as matter of
course.
Returns in Senate Race Cited.
If the foregoing figures are inter-
esting, the following will not be less
so. President Truman wanted to
be county collector in 1884 But
Boss" Tom Pendergast made him
Senator instead. The returns from
the Pendergast strongholds in Kan
sas City in the primary election held
in August of that year were also in
the Pendergast pattern.
At that time Harry S. Truman
was an obscure county Judge,
whose duties were really those OF
a county commissioner. He was
nominated after a hard fight with
I the late John J. Cochran of st
Louis. In that primary the fol
! lowing votes in Kansas City wert
significant: Ward l, Truman IT ,485
Cochran 49; Ward 2, Truman 15,.
l45, Cochran "a; Ward 8, Truman
1882, Cochran "a. The total II
these three wards was Truman 40.
8l2, Cochran LOT, or a plurality il
four Pendergast wards alone of 40.
! 705. Truman carried the State ovel
Cochran by 40.745 votes.

This Changing World
US. Move to Recognize Red Regime
In Hungary Seen as Bad News Abroad

ing post without helping the op-
pressed Hungarian people in any
way.
Nut these considerations make no
impression abroad. President Tru-
mans Thursday statement was like
shot in the arm for those elements
in Europe which look hopefully to
America to save them from Rus
sian domination.
The State Departments most
recent action is being interpreted
to mean that the American Gov
ernment is doing a good deal of
talking. but pulls its punches when
it comes to strong action and con-
tinues to accept the accomplished
facts of the Moscow government.
U. N. Discussion Offers Little.
The eventual submission of the
Hungarian problem to the U. N.
can nave only academic, not practi-
cal, results. 1t is probable that the
United States Government, sup
ported by Great Britain and other
countries, will present the facts of
the Hungarian coup to the inter-
national organization. Lengthy alb
straet discussions will follow.
marked by bitter words between
the opposed groups of powers.
If the Hungarian question comes
before the Security Council, Russia
unquestionably will use her veto,
claiming among other things that
the government it has set up in
Budapest is a representative gov
ernment of Hungarians.
Early elections are being prepared
in Hungary. 1t is a foregone con-
dusion that they will give the Com
munists an overwhelming majority,
since only one list will be presented
to the voters. This will give the
Soviet representative another strong
talking point when the U. N. de-
cides to discuss the Hungarian coup.
Reports received over the week
end in Washington show that there
is much uneasiness in Romania,
where the government is in Mos
cows pocket. Romania continues
to have nominal opposition on the
part of the liberal leaders. 1t is
feared that these two leaders and
their lieutenants will be arrested be-
fore long, thus ending even the
nominal opposition, as was the case
in Bulgaria.
The situation offers more compli-
cations in Austria, because of the
presence of American, British and
French troops. But the Moscow
trained Austrian Communist leader
is already talking about overthrow
ing the present government, The
U. S. S. R., he says, has so little con-
f1dence in the Austrian administra-
ton that 1t will not consider signing
a peace treaty unless friendly gov
ernment is established in that small,
but strategically important, re-
public.
Evening star., 1947-06-09

But there is a limit, beyond which
this kind of partisanship is inde-
fensible. For example, there is no
excuse when it clearly clashes with
the national interest. And certainly
there's should be some standard to
apply to a situation such as now
exists, where the appointing power
is in the hands of a President of
one party but the Senate is con-
trolled by the other party.
Under such conditions the Senate
is justified in refusing confirmation
of unfit men to important Federal
posts. However, under such condi-
tions a President would be stupid to
nominate an obviously unfit man,
and if his nominee is obviously fit
he is clearly entitled to confirmation.
To refuse such a nominee con-
flrmation is offensive partisanship,
which ignores the national interests.
The point is here made that the
Republican Senate majority is CIV
ing an extremely unsavory exhibit
ton of this kind of partisanship. II
is the sort of thing of which the
more responsible Republican leaders
should be-and some are ashamed.

named for solicitor general of the
United States. And there are num-
bers of others.
AS for Mr.. Perlman, the refusal
to confirm him apparently is wholly
due to the opposition of one man,
Republican Senator Homer Fergu-
son of Michigan, and the case is
almost unique in it's injustice to a
clearly qualified man.

was arrested last Thursday-have
aroused fears that similar steps may
be taken in Austria and Romania
The attitude of the United States
in the Hungarian matter is reported
to have increased confusion and
misunderstanding of the United
States in Europe.
On Thursday at his press confer
ence President Truman did not
mince words He indicated this coun-
try would adopt stern attitude to-
ward Moscow's latest violation of
her pledged word. Mr.. Truman S
statement was cabled abroad and is
reported to have made the front
page of every newspaper in coun-
tries where the press is not actively
controlled by Soviet authorities.
Effect Was Weakened.
Editorial writer's who took heart
when the Truman doctrine was
enunciated last March IL, con-
sidered the statement Thursday as
evidence that the American policy
of stopping Russian expansion will
be continued and will not be limited
to Greece and Turkey.
But Friday foreign reporters in
this country were compelled to
track. They informed their
papers that the American Govern
ment had advised" the Hungarian
minister, who refused to recognize
the Communist government in Bud
apest, to abandon his legation and
had indicated that America would
soon recognize the new Russian
puppet government in Hungary.
The motives which prompted
such action by the State Depart
ment were of a practical nature.
Secretary of State Marshall's politi-
cal advisers believed nonrecogni-
ton of the new Hungarian govern
ment would compel us to withdraw
our military and political observers
from the Hungarian capital. Thus
