Jas. A. Reed for U. s. senator.

Se <As ssSSn AOk ps 0s 0SAA0sDEs
The Kansas City Post oi
Thursday, July 8. has the follow
ing concerning one Of Missouri's e
ablest and most distinguished
citizens and truest Democrats:
The passage OF the Union de.
pot ordinance last night ends q
struggle for q new Union station
and adequate terminal facilities
that has virtually lasted q quar-
ter of century, since Jay Gould
promised the improvement to
Kansas City.
The greatest obstacle in the
past seven years has been an
inability to make q contract that
would protect the business inter.
ests and shippers of Kansas City.
The people demanded to be pro.
tected against excessive switch.
ing charges.
At this junoture the shippers
employed James A. Reed as
their counsel in the pending
negotiations. This was fortunate
for the business interests, fortu.
nate for the railroads and fortu.
nate for Kansas City. Me-. Reed,
within q short time, drafted .
shipping clause which gave
ample protection to the shipping
interests and which, at the same
time, eliminated the legal OBJ.
jections of the railroads. His
plan can not be called q compro.
mise; he gave to each side all for
which it hsd contended; the
shippers were given full protec.
ton.
1t is not the first service of the
kind that he has rendered Kan.
sas City. When the Republican
council under the administration
Of Mayor Neff were preparing to
10 fasten on Kansas City 40. cent
gas he, in company with r. J..
[ngraham and Frank Hagerman,
who were employed by another
olass of public spirited citizens,
took up the cudgel for the people,
secured injunctions in the courts
against the passage of the ordi.
nance, carried the litigation to a
successful conclusion and, as q
result, our people o.day have
s5 cent gas.
His record as mayor of Kansas
City is q record of achievement.
Under the most adverse circum.
stances and after the rights of
he city had been granted away
le forced the street railway com-
,any to enter into q new contract
With the city, securing m my in.
,stimable benefits which had
oeen improvidently lost. He in.
reduced telephone competition,
'educed almost one-half the cost
If electric light and created al.
ogether q new and higher
for the conduct OF mu-
licipal affairs in Kansas City.
There is q widespread demand |
hat Mr.. Reed become Q candi.
late for United States senator |
md there is now little doubt that |
le will be in the race next year
{ he does he will have the on
husiastic support of the united |
Democracy of Jackson county |
md that support Joined with the
trong following he has in all |
'arts of Missouri ought to make
i'm easily successful.
