MISSOURI RETURNS
 WILL BE VERY LATE
Reed-Long Fight for Senate Is Most Interesting

St. Louis, Aug 14-(By Associated Press )-Missour polls opened today for the first primary election in which women of the state have taken part
 Normally because Of the harvest season, the rural vote would be light but political leaders are looking for a fairly heavy ballot because of the ac- tivity of the women voters and the bitterness with which the campaign has been waged
 The democratic race for L. s, sena- : tor. between Senator James A. Reed and Breckenridge Long, third assist ant secretary of state under President Wilson has overshadowed every other issue.
 Compared to 1t the six cornered race for the same office on the repub- licAn ticket in which a regular party man, an avowed progressive, couple of liberals with progressive leanings and two advocates of light wine and beer are participating in attracting only casual notice.
 Friends of Senator Reed, however, see a menace to- their candidate in the activity of William Sac cks. who is mak ing the race on wine and beer plat form Senator Reeds friends have counted on a large numbe of wet re- pubicans in St. Louis voting for him in the democratic primary. Now, how ever they fear Sacks will gather this vote Voters can desert their regular party and cast their ballots in the op- position primary by making an affi- davit, if challenged, that they will vote the same ticket in November. As the Australian ballot is tosbe used in the fall, politicians point out there is little chance of enforcing that pledge.
 There are four parties in the field republican, democratic, socialist and socialist labor The republican ticket alone in St. Louis Is six feet long and carries the name of 21o primary can- didates and 52 committeeman. As a reeult the return tonight will be very slow. Polls close at o'clock.

 Too Much Standardization
 "The country is becoming too much standardized in everything" said Miss Monroe. What we need is room for the creative genius of people to get to work. Everything is made to order for them now.
