James A. Reeds commission as SEN
ator was held up for some hours be-
cause he failed to Ale his campaign
expense account, but for some reason
the fact escaped the notice of nearly
all the democratic papers in this sec.
ton of the state. One paper attempts
to Justify the new senator by saying
that Senator Warner failed to file his
expense account. How silly and ig-
norant it must think its readers. SEN
ator Warner made no race for the Of
fee and was elected by the legislature
las compromise candidate after the
legislature had been dead locked for
many weeks.
A. democratic paper OF the first con-
gressional district is much wrought up
because Congressman Lloyd vas not
mentioned in the list OF candidates
for the gubernatorial nomination. Al
though Mr.. Lloyd has been congress.
man from this district for many years,
and while he has accomplished moth
ing, or practically nothing, for his
constituents. he is coed man and
must be given credit for the fact that
he has too much political sense to
throw away a sure job in sure dem
ocratic district and go chasing after
political job to which he could ney
err be elected; and we are taking into
consideration the fact that another is
said to be figuring on his political
scalp in this district. The next gov
ernor from Missouri is going to be a
republican, and Mr.. Lloyd is wise
enough to know it.

senator from the Twelfth senatorial
district is surely getting his "crimps
| by the senate committee on bills
They have reported adversely on his
49-pound sack of -four and his pri
mary bill. The former should have
become a law There is a question
as to the advisability of the latter
measure. But the signs Of the demo
cratic times in Missouri is changing
front on the direct vote on United
States senator scheme since the state
is republican, and since IL this ha6
/ been the law both Senator'S Stone ant
Reed would now be private citizens
where they really belong. The strange
part of the matter is that Senator
Carter has not had the politica
acumen to discover the fact.
