i traveled all over missouri. i drove day after day in the heat and i feel better now than when the campaign began. i have one reservation. i did have a head-on collision in my car and got a sprained wrist and some broken ribs. they are almost well now. i didn't stop. that probably happened around raleigh. went on handshaking and making short speeches. then he turned to politics. politics does sometimes press hard. i have gone my own way. i refuse to let politics into public contracts and i am gratified now to know that the very persons who sometimes criticized me bitterly said i was right. i'm proud of the new courthouse in kansas city and the remodeled building in independence. i did not have nearly as much political trouble with them as with the roads. working on the road program set precedents that were respected on later projects. then he turned to his primary , election victory. i am proud that the latest figures from world missouri show that i received more county votes than in any other election. that prov

missouri democrats meet. they decide to endorse james a reed. , missouri's favorite son and senator. so missouri democrats go into the 1932 convention supporting not franklin roosevelt, james reed. the other individual in the mix clark. is bennett champ bennett champ clark is elected to the senate in 1932. he kind of challenge is tom pendergast. they are not really getting along at this point. franklin roosevelt's trying to figure out, when he is elected and becomes president, who gets the patronage? patronage goes to clark. tom pendergast gets shutout. some of it has to do with the fact that he was delayed in supporting roosevelt. at the convention, he does. pendergast gives the go-ahead for them and they eventually support franklin roosevelt. but preconvention, pendergast was for read -- for reed. that did not go over quite well. that is funny. because after the election, tom pendergast is riding -- writing franklin roosevelt, asking for the patronage and he doesn't get much was of anything -- much of anyth

state of missouri.eveloping in the 1950's and eventually kansas city it's enough to cover the title market. so they came up with the military road which was basically from fort leavenworth to gibson,tt, down and the country down there. they could drive the military road north to kansas city, but almostblem was, it was like a no man's land on the borders of kansas and missouri after the war. they could turn into missouri and not only run into a gang of sheriffs but also former bushwhackers to steal their cattle. but if they turn on the military road, they would run into former j hopper's doing the same thing. writingicular heard was up the military road and the front rider was shot off his saddle. -based mp did the cattle and everybody had to collect what they could. cattle were stolen. one particular drover, he was about 19 years old, they took herdeard from him -- from him and they decided that they would try him for bringing diseased cattle into the country. they decided he was worthy of execution. th

the presiding officer: the senator from missouri. ms. mccaskill: mr. president,

i am proud that the latest figures from her role missouri show that iris -- rural missouri showed that i received more county votes than in any other election. i am proud that it was not engineered by the democratic organization in kansas city. i went out after this country votes, myself, and i got them. what about these two? did they use each other to get what they wanted? who won? that's the question i have are you guys. who won? again, most historians have reenergized,ruman retooled his campaign in 1940. some of that is true. but that retooling began when he ran as senator in 1934. no one has ever argued that. his campaign demonstrates that. the evidence presented to me is pretty overwhelming, otherwise it would not argue it. with that, i will take your questions. [applause] you will have to come up to the microphone. >> harry truman was never tied to the pendergast machine in any way. he was not charged with any crime. that is a fact. harry truman got the vice presidential nomination. and i'm not sure exactly how he did that. [laughter] but he was a yes man in a sense. i don't mean

missouri style cowgirl, cowboy hats to get some sort of theme going. it went over like a lead bullet. [laughter] >> i wonder a few would talk a little bit about the chuckwagon on the drives and how efficient efficient andnot maybe talk about the cook, what his duties were besides feeding the drovers. jim: what is interesting about chuckwagon culture is it is actually a later development of the cattle driving industry. when they drove to louisiana and the shawnee trail, they did not have chuckwagons. they basically carried their cooking goods individually in a tarp packet that held over the back of the saddle. wheelvolved into the two car that came up the trail. joseph mccoy is the author of the first real history of the cattle industry. trade off the cattle the west and the southwest. their he has a draw -- in the re he has a drawing of what he calls a a cooking camp. two wheeled cart being pulled by an oxen. the book was published in 1874. even by 1873, when he is putting that book together, the chuckwagon is not common enough at the end of the trail

the problem is impeachment in missouri is a little more complicated.ost states, crimes are misdemeanors. there's some specificity to it and some question if you can impeach someone for something that happened before he took office. there is a growing appetite for it in the legislature. >> what he's alluding to here, correct me if i'm wrong, you know better than me, but in the state of missouri, you do not have to be convicted of a crime to actually be impeached by lawmakers. is that correct? >> no, craig, that's what kevin says exactly right, the missouri constitution has a relatively long list of potential offenses that are impeachable. one of those is crimes but there are others, there are other potential grounds for impeachment. whether the governor survives the current prosecution in the city of st. louis, he may still face impeachment. >> all right. we will leave it there. again, it's a story we're going to continue to follow closely here. christian, thank you. kevin, thanks to you as well. kevin mcdermott helping us keep our finger of the pulse t

one example is our students who work in the state house in missouri. their stories have included complicated bills, being debated by the legislature and the governor who is indicted on felony charges of invasion of privacy. these are the kind of things many journalists wouldn't have the opportunity to cover until much later in their career. our students are doing it as college juniors and seniors. they do it at a very high level. next, our work involves push and pull principles. the industry is relying on our young journalists to engage and attract news junkies as well as the seemingly disinterested with the relevant content. this means not covering the story in the same way as everyone else, allowing silent voices to be heard and representing other viewpoints and opinion. they receive, for local news coverage, one indicator that we are having some success that this is a daily commitment that we are committed to continuing. point number three, no margin, no mission. journalism needs to be profitable if it is to survive and thrive. the citizenry is depe
