T.” (page 2), about patching up of differences between William Kemper, Sr. ("Democratic national committeeman for Missouri") and Tom Pendergast (Democratic No. 1 man in Missouri"), "concerning an outgrowth of the Lazia case here"; “May We Present Mrs. A. Ross Hill” (p. 5), a photo and profile of Vassie Hill, or Mrs. A.
