young Jim Pendergast on hand to urge upon his uncle the political potential of Harry Truman Aylward agreed with young Jim about the Truman potential There was a great war record He was a leading Mason of the state His Southern Baptist affiliation lent a natural appeal to outstate He had conducted as county judge a great roadbuilding program and had built a both without scandal So it was that this man later to be a world leader who was to make some of the most important decisions of our times was catapulted from his role of county candidate to the national level He won the nomination and be won the election So political history was made Truman began his quick march to the top of the national picture On what little things seemingly so turned momentous pathways in history Heir to Position When Tom Pendergast was sent to Leavenworth prison for income tax evasion the mantle of leadership of his once-power-fdl political machine fell upon his seemingly well-prepared nephew Jim father Mike Pendergast was the leader in the then 10th ward There the Goats and Rabbits had fought it out It was a tough school to go to The battles were classic and often engrossed city-wide attention But Jim Pendergast was not out to be the ruthless big boss He have the heart for it or the desire He was essentially a very decent fellow and a friendly one but not tough enough for the political battles ahead He loved hds home ana family more than he loved politics He loved a quiet bridge game and preferred to be with his family rather than out with the boys He was proud of his family name and tradition He tried to carry on but the one-man leadership began to show cracks Growth of Factions John Lazia and his Italian faction already had left Judge Mike Ross the Pendergast North Side leader The distance widened under the continuing leadership of Carolla Binaggio and today Alex Presta The same process of fragmentation set in with the Rabbits with McKis-sick setting up his own group on Fifteenth street and the Gallagher family taking over the faction when it became obvious that Frank Shannon son of the famed congressman could not hold the group together Out of this debacle has 'grown the Democratic coalition system known to the voters of today Through the years there was great loyalty to the Pendergast name In the years of adversity it gradually dissipated The organization today is a relatively small group with Magistrate Bernard G-nefkow Tom Pender-gast's old office manager taking over most of the leadership duties Jim Pendergast kept the presidency of the Jackson Democratic chib He continued to attend national conventions of His party most of the time as a full delegate He enjoyed those sessions and the chance to keep fresh his many friendships with party leaders from across the nation It came to the point that about the last symbol of Pendergast power was state committee post He finally dropped that because he just have the desire and thirst to keep his leadership So with his death the last of the Pender-gasts has left politics Nobody ever hated Jim Pendergast He was essentially friendly too much so ever to become a boss in the image of his uncle
