The Hearst papers over the coun-
try are abusing Missouri Democrats
because they refused to put them
selves in the anomalous position of
endorsing Mr.. Wilson and the DEM
ocratic administration and then send
ing his bitterest enemy and most I'M
compromising critic to represent
them in the National Convention.
To Mr.. Hearst, Senator Reed is the
greatest statesman of the age, be-
cause he thinks and acts along Hearst
lines. To Missouri Democrats he is
not too big to be disciplined when he
refuses to represent the wishes of his
constituents.
