The campaigns of all contestants closed tonight with each of the four aspirants for. the Republican nomination for governor freely predicting his own triumph and.

with political observers counting on them to supply an exceedingly close race. Motor Vehicle Commissioner Harold G. Hoffman said he wasn't "worried at all" and his campaign manager stated he would carry 19 of the 21 counties And lead by 75,000 votes.

KANSAS CITY, May. -A duel of power between two of Missour's strongest political leadersThomas J. Pendergast, Kansas City political "boss," and Senator Bennett Champ Clark- -was presaged today by the announcement of Harry S. Truman for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator in the August primaries. Pendergast today.

announced his support of Truman, presiding judge of the Jackson county (Kansas City) court. Clark has announced his support of Congressman Jacob L. (Tuck) Milligan of Richmond, who today formally filed his candidacy for 'the Democratic nomination for the seat: now held by Roscoe Patterson, a Republican. Added interest has been created by the possibility former Senator James Reed also may seek the senatorship. Upon his" return recently from Chicago, where he was quoted as saying he "might" make the race, Reed said "anything is possible." but then said "I haven't in mind running for anything.

Some political observers have discussed the possibility he may run as an independent instead of entering the primaries. For the moment, however, major interest in Missouri centers on the two leaders who face each other across a state that has produced long line of rugged political fighters. In St. Louis in the east side of the state is Senator Clark. He grew up on a diet of national politics.

In Kansis City, in the west side, is Pendergast, product of ward polltics, former saloon keeper, now building material executive. Using political knowledge learned on the Missouri river front he whipped together a city organization that has record of consistent power. Clark and Pendergast each tip the scales at 5 over 200 pounds, Both are Democrats, Entrenched in the city after an election marked by four killings, strong in the state where Guy B. Park, the man he sponsored, is governor, Pendergast is ready to bid for national influence. The man who beat him in his first attempt is the man now opposing him.

Clark defeated a Pendergast-picked man for the party senatorial nomination in 1932 and went on to win.
