Missouri - some thirty-five thousand people attended.
It was my big day.
After the celebration was over I went to Excelsior Springs and stayed a couple
of days. The State Committee met in Kansas City the day after Wilson's death
and nominated Guy B. Park of Platte County. He was a Judge of the Missouri
Circuit Court and a very fine gentleman. He made a good Governor and in spite
of violent newspaper opposition Lloyd Stark had wanted the State Committee to make
him the candidate and he was sorely disappointed when they didn't.
AROHIVESAND
After I was elected to the Senate in 1934 I had many political
contacts and personal ones also in nearly every county in the State. Along in
February 1935 Lloyd Stark called me from his home in Louissiana, Missouri and
informed me that he had a boy at Annapolis Naval Academy, that he was leaving
home on a certain day to go and see the boy and that he would like very much
to see me on the same trip. Of course, I told him to stop in Washington on his
way over to Annapolis or on the way back home from there and I'd be glad to see
and talk to him as long a.s he liked. Mr. Stark had been one of my supporters
in the bitter 1934 primary fight in Missouri and I felt friendly and grateful to
him.
He came in to see me sometime in February 1935. His mission was
to tell me that he wanted to be Governor of Missouri and that he knew he couldn't
