Test nf letter. The text of his letter follows: "Dear Major Stark: In your c'osing speech of the primary cam pa Sen. you said 'an honest ballot Is the foundation stone of democratic Of course that Is true, and a dishonest ballot Is the foundation stone of a corrupt political machine.

Further, a dishonest ballot Is one of the worst crimes, since in Its wake flow brib ery, lawlessness, gangsterism and all the other crimes on the calendar. Where election frauds prevail, government no longer controls crime, but criminals control the government. "Yet In Missouri we have election frauds on a gigantic scale. You know that in St. Louis the fplendid service of our newspapers recently exposed over 44.000 fraudulent registrations.

In Kansas City there are not less than 73.000 spurious names upon the books. If the recent returns from Jackson County were to be believed, you received a primary vote of 163 94A. although running against a capable and respected opponent. "The entire Democratic vote of Jackson County given to President Roosevelt in 1912. however, was only 172.4."6.

Both of those figures Oe entirely out of accord with the We can judge what the conditions of the primary must have been by the comments of some outstanding Democratic leaders. Hon. Joseph Shannon, Democratic congressman, said: ''I would not stan for what I saw mvM'lt in the 12th Ward for all the honors In the United "Judge Henderson, another leader, said: "The Democratic party cannot exist with this kind of outrage.

"Next month there will be a complete new registration both in St Louis and in Kansas City, and the same political crmmals. unless they are stopped, will put this mas of fraudulent rames hick upon the new lists. It is a plot to overpower tiie free ar.d true votes of the rest of the state.

Prevention rather than punishment, ar.d action before rather than after the election Is the present need.

What Noted People Are Saying Copyright, 1938 WILLIAMS BAY, WIS. Methodist Episcopal Bishop Ernest Lynn Waldorf tells mankind how to correct a fundamental weakness. "Recovering the sense of value, a new scale of values, and a method of weighing and comparing values are probably the most urgent tasks confronting us today." NEW YORK The Rt. Rev. Stephen E.

Keeler, Episcoal Bishop coadjutor of Minnesota, passes along a bit of advice: "Dare to be big enough to live and act on the basis of your convictions, never on your prejudices."

John English, retiring chairman of the Democratic City Committee, disclosed today that he has requested Gov. Park to remove the Board of Election Commissioners. English said he favored naming an outstanding business man to head the board. The present chairman is James A.

Wacchter, an attorney. Waechter. a Democrat, was appointed with the three other board members when Park took office in 1933. The request of English was made while the governor was in St. Louis last week.

A similar demand has also been made by Fred W. Pape. chairman of the Republican City Committee. English said he believed that the "chief trouble" with the election Board is that the members do not give sufficient consideration to the wishes of members of the city committees. Recently certain committee members claimed that they were denied judges and clerks on primary day because the committee members were unfriendly to the city administration.

Recently English was defeated for re-election by L. Jean Gtialdoni. Gov. Park conferred here Friday with members of the election board. Following the meting the governor said he had no comment to make on the demands that the board be removed from office said before reaching a conclusion in th matter hp wished to study reports which had been sent him through "private hannels." It is Lkelv that he will lssu a statement within th" next few cays, it was said in Jefferson City today.

Some 'Not Found' Names Said to Have Been on Books in 1932 Clerks in the effire of the Board of Election Commissioners todav are completing their comparison of the 1932 voting h'ts and the June 18 lists of this year in an effort to determine how many of the 46.252 per- 'sons "not xouna in tne latest. re- convaas were on iaajks hi crk is being cone at me re quest or gov. par. Although no statement was given out on the proeress of the check It was understood that the clerks would report that some of the 46.252 names "not found' were on the bocks in 1932. When the work is completed the figures will be turned over to the Board of Election Commissioners who will then send them to the governor.

Gov. Park wilt make any I announcements about the findings and his decision on them from Jef-Uersion City. and Market streets in 1836, Mr. Paddock traced his ancestry back to Robert Paddock, who landed at Plymouth in 1634. On his mother's side, he was a descendant of a Bailey family which settled in Maine in 1638.

Educated in Springfield, III. When he was 4 years old, Mr. Paddock's family moved to Springfield, 111. There he attended school and became a "summer clerk" in the general store of John Williams on the public square. Open until 9 o'clock in the evening, the Williams store was the rendezvous of lawyers and cracker-box sitters who enjoyed talk of politics and the spinning of yarns, and the youthful Gaius Paddock observed much during his summer clerkships.

Among the lawyers who visited the store was a 6-foot-4 lanky, smooth-faced young man who was one day to be known as the Great Emancipator. In later life, Mr. Pad dock recalled that the young Abra ham Lincoln was one of the most quiet of the general store philosophers, saying little, but always saying It pointedly and with great con viction, and brightening the discus sion with his characteristic droll cries. Talked River Navigation. One of young Lincoln's favorite topics, Mr.

Paddock recalled, was the possibility of navigation on the Sangamon River. During the Mexican War this was one of the major parts of the conversation in Williams' store, since Illinois soldiers bound for the front were experiencing suffering because of lack of easy transportation. One night, when Lincoln's belief that the Saneamon River was navigable suffered unusually strong scoffing at the hands of the crowd in Williams' store, the future President quietly said: "Well, I'll convince you that I'm right. Meet me at the water trough tomorrow." The next day, Mr. Paddock remembered, the crowd gathered at the water trough in the center of town.

Lincoln appeared carrying under his arm a wooden model of a boat he had whittled with a inxket knife. On the surface of the water trough, he launched his new model, demonstrating how it would pass over the dangerous shoals of the Sangamon. Heard Debate In Alton. The last tune Mr. Paddonk saw-Lincoln was the day the Lincoln Douglas debates closed at Alton on Octobr 15.

1858. Two steamboats landed at the dock with excursion crowds and almost 3.000 persons formed the audience that gathered at the west side of the City Hall. Twenty-two vears old at that time, Mr. Paddock later recalled that Douglas was a great speaker, full of fire ar.d enemy, but that Lincoln on the sympathies of moit of the audience with his earnest manner and the sharp witticisms with which he punctuated at. The descendant of a hardy, pioneer strjek.

Mr. Paddock attributed part of his longevity to the fact that he never used tobacco, and thought that life was too short for shows and other amusements. "I have always trusted in God and kept my stomach in good condition," he once told a Star-Times reporter. "My hours have been recular. I am up shortly before 6 o'clock and" retire at 9 p.

Mr. Paddock is survived by two sons Robert Paddock of New Ycrk; Orville Paddock, and three daughters, the Misses Sarah. May and Alice Paddock, with whom he mad? his home. He wall be buried In the eld family burial grounds cn his 160-acre estate. HOGS $11.80 A HUNDRED, HIGHEST IN 11 MONTHS Hogs brought S11.80 a hundredweight at the National Stock Yards in East St.
