Auditor Race Is Test in Missouri Election
In Sedalia Missouri AP James Spain Democratic state chairman called the statewide race for state auditor a key test of party strength. He told Pettis County Democrats that if George Lehr loses Democrats would be a minority party. He warned that family dairy farms may vanish as small operations like the Kozuszek farm struggle to survive and that farmers must organize similar to union labor or face bankruptcy. Clarence Kozuszek, age 21, describes leaving farming for factory work at $3.80 an hour and the uncertain life on a dairy farm with little to show for long hours. Casimer Kozuszek adds that farmers need organization to stay afloat and avoid ruin.
