election of President Wilson and put

Notable among the callers, last

the party split, and was one Of the
founders of the Progressive party in
Missouri, being made a member of
the State Committee.

Stone. "Not half way, but all the
way, for l shall do all in my power

The report from the Hughes trip
across the continent are all to the eff
feet that he is making an unfavorable
impression on the country. The PEG

President. The country will give MFR.

THE RIGHT MAN

The Democrats of Missouri have
done well to renominate without OPP
position their Junior senator, James
Reed, The United States Senate is
entitled to the ablest, most patriotic
and best of American citizenahip.
Reed Of Missouri has brought to his
position in the Senate class of char
acter, courage and independence that
is worthy the best traditions of that
great deliberative body.
For one thing, Senator Reed is
fighter. His record in Missouri be-
fore he went to the Senate proved
this. In the Senate he has shown
time and again that he has no person
al friends to favor when the great IN
terests Of the public are at stake.
Missouri has become a politically
doubtful State, The Democratic par
ty controls there only on the strength
of its national and local issues and
personalities. Barring unforeseen cir
cumstances, the State should return
Senator Reed on his record. He is
one of a group of senators whose ser
vices are of value to party and nation
alike His record entities him to the
support of that increasing body in che
national electorate that acts and
and votes independently and seeks to
serve the country by the selection of
the best men offering for Office re-
CARELESS of party utilization. James
Reed has made enemies in his public
career. No influence has been too
strong for him to tackle. And for his
merits as well as for the enemies he
has made he is highly esteemed in the
several sections of the Republic
