...Attorney for the western district of Missouri with Senator Clark's help and began the campaign to clean up the city's voting which culminated in the celebrated indictment of 199 Pendergast heelers for fraud. Then Governor Lloyd Crow Stark, a prosperous nurseryman elected with Pendergast support, unexpectedly rebelled by appointing a new election board of whose four members, Tom Pendergast howled, only one was a "real Democrat." This year, when President Roosevelt reappointed District Attorney Milligan over Harry Truman's lone Senate dissent, many a Missourian concluded that the nation's No. 1 Democrat...

With less than half New York City's 7,400,000 population, Paris tries to support 120 newspapers to New York City's 24. Most of the Parisian papers are party organs, constantly in hot financial water.
