Four Missouri candidates warm up with speeches
Four Missouri candidates for major offices spoke in cities yesterday and last night. Francis M. Wilson, Democratic candidate for governor backed by the Pendergast machine, told 500 from Kansas City to Platte City he could not serve as a cog in a political machine. Russell L. Dearmont denied Wilson’s charges about the Pendergast group and denied Klan ties, saying he helped block the Ku Klux Klan in Cape Girardeau and that he proposed reducing small loan rates from 42 to 36 percent. In Brookfield, U S Senator hopeful Charles M. Howell urged resubmission of the prohibition issue to voters, blaming Republican administration for current economic woes. Charles M. Hay also spoke in Brookfield, stressing unemployment as a central issue and warning against ten million unemployed.
