members derouncing Reed and demand
ing his resignation. was passed among
Democratic members In the House to-

an insolent and disrespectful manner of
the President in his Jefferson City
speech. and asserted that the Democracy
of Missouri, through its constituted au-
thorities, should publicly express Its ap-
prevail or disapproval of Reeds position.
Senator Reed smiles when he is asked
whether or not he will resign. He gives
