 in His Speech
Ry RevieN neased vvirel

JEFFERSON CITY, llo-. March 19- The preamble to the resolutions de. manding Senator Reeds resignation discusses the conditions under which Senator Reed was invited to address the legislature and state that much to the surprise, the discomfort and the dfsapproval of the democratic repre- sentatives," Senator Reed referred to President Wilson in "a most sneering, sarcastic and disrespectful manner" and that by his utterances plainly indi- cated 1t is his opinion that President Wilson "in his advocacy of the league of nations was encouraging and advo- eating the adoption of an English policy to the detriment of the United States and that the statesmanship of American patriots and American lead CTS was second to that of the states men of Great Britain"
 Speech Called Insult
 It is charged that Senator Reeds address was an attempt ito belittle and belle" the leadership of the demo- cratic party and it's accomplishment in the last six years and was an ef- fort on his part ito bring dissenssoss and strife" into the ranks of the party, and that the speech was "a direct in- suit to the party and the people who had given him his political prestige and made it possible for him to ac- quire any degree of prominence as democrat and statesman"
 These resolutions were then adopted:
 Resolved, By the democrats of the house of representatives in confer ence, that we do hereby denounce the distinguished senator as not entitled to claim any title or standing as a democrat, in the democratic party from Missouri, and suggest to him that if he is so confirmed in his opin- ions, that the democracy of Missouri, as we'll as the people thereof, are not advised and have no convictions upon the subject of the league of nations and are not in harmony with the lead ership of President Wilson. that he resivn his position as senator and again submit himself as a candidate for the high position which he now occupies to the entire dissatisfaction of the party which nominated and elected him, and again submit hlmseI as a candidate to fill the vacancy which would be occasioned by his resignation, and be it further
 Praise Wilson
 Resolved, That we deplore the fact that Missouri should have had in the senate of the United States nem- Der thereof who has so consistently and persistently for the two years, prompted as we believe, feelings or personal hate and jealousy, attempted to thwart the purposes of President Wilson not only in matters of peace hut in matters of war when individual opinion and individual pride should have been surrendered to the express will of the majority so that unity could have prevailed; and be 1t further
 yResolved, That weS again express our confidence in the congress, pa trfotism and wisdom of our president Woodrow Wilson, and express the ln- tention of following in the settlement and adjustment of all questions grow ing out of the recent war until we are convinced by the judgment of fair CT minded men, prompted by higher motives and cleaner purposes than the Honorable James A. Reed, that the urestdent of the United States is wrong and that his policy should no longer be pursued and that he should no longer be followed"
 The resolutions were presented to inc conference by Representative Frank H. Paris of Phelps county, one of the I6 democratic members of the house who withdrew from the cham Der yesterday afternoon while Senator Reed was speaking
