Heed were so many. so varied, and so in
consistent with one another that | recall
speaking to him about them in CONVEX
sation. Having spoken of reading a
certain parody on well-known novel,
told him that his course in the commit
tee reminded me of the conduct of the
hero in that parody who, when re-
jected by the heroine, rushed from the
house, mounted several horses and rode
off in every direction.
Statements such as the one quoted from
Mr.. Merriweather appear to be INTENDED
to create the impression that Reed and
have hello the same principles and advo-
Gated the same policies and that he is
entitled to and may be assumed to have
my Endorsement as a candidate for re-
election to the Senate. This Is far from
being the case.
To those who have closely observed Mr.
Reeds career in Washington, he has
shown himself incapable of sustained
allegiance to any person or any cause.
He has repeatedly forfeited any claim ia
my confidence that he may ever have
been supposed to have and shall never
willingly consent to any further asso-
citation with him. l beg that you will dc
me the courtesy to publish this letter
Very truly yours,
WOODROW WILSON.

James A. Reed, declaring the Senator is

Wilson emphatically stated he would
never willingly consent to any further
association with him" adding Reed had
repeatedly forfeited any claim to my
confidence that he may have been sup
posed to have"
Tie former Presidents letter was
forthcoming following statement by
Lee Meriwether, st. Louis lawyer, and
supporter of Senator Reed in which he
said the Missouri Senator had been
warmly thanked by Mr.. Wilson for the
great service which the Senator rendered

Mr. Wilson flatly denied be had so
endorsed Reed. Il have no recollection
he said, of ever having written any
such letter"
Mr.. Merriweather today reiterated ne

Of the Globe Democrat follows:
My Dear SRI note in your issue

from me to Senator Reed warmly
thanking him for the great service the
Senator rendered in perfecting and pass
ing the Federal reserve bill
II have no recollection of ever hav-
Ing written any such letter. On the con

no vote. lie said he believed the great

WILSON NOT
OUT OF POLITICS

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Woodrow
Wilson, sick and broken in health as he
may be, has not retired from politics
and has no intention OF doing so.
Washington generally interprets the St
Louis letter denouncing Senator Reed as
meaning that even though retired from
the political spotlight, MI Wilson has no
intention of forgetting his political
enemies.
The feud between Mr.. Wilson and Sen
ator Reed is Of long standing. 1t is al
most continuous throughout the eight
years of Mr.. Wilson's administration, and
became pronounced and bitter when Sen
ator Reed became the implacable foe Of
the League of Nations.
At The San Francisco convention In 1920
Senator Reed was denied his seat as a
delegate from his own State in a contest
brought by Administration supporters in
his district.

Because he's running around devoting
too much time TO politics and not enough

around threatening to get everybody's
job if they don't vote for Beveridge. And
don't forget. this is just the beginning"

he would get the ordinance repealed
and let them run. Personally / very
much admired what he said when he
promised them he would buy tires by the
car load lot and sell them to the jitney
drivers at wholesale cost.
We're going to make a thorough in
vestigation of that affair at the pool
room. Several policemen in plain
clothes came in. They said there was
gambling going on. This Patrolman
Bensley rushed back to a man fifty or
sixty years old who was sitting at a
table and grabbed him by the neck. The
man put his hand in his pocket.
Don't put your hand on that money,
shouted the policeman and struck the
man in the face four or five times with
his fist, then pulled out his gun and
teat him over the head with It. The
man was in such condition we had
= take him to a doctor
Now l know that gambling was njt
going on in that place. It's right odt
in n home neighborhood and I was il
that place not five minutes before tn )
happened. l went to see the big Repub-
licau boss Of Indianapolis, Bill Armitage,
aud he told me he would get right after
the matter. | saw Jim Armitage (mem
Der of the board of public safety and
brother of BID and he told me he did
not approve of any policeman doing such
a thing and would investigate. | went
to see Chief RikhOff but he was never In.
Nothing has ever been done about tue
affair.
WONDERFUL THINGS
FOR SOUTH SIDE.
The mayor come out on the south side
and told US what wonderful things he
was going to do for US. He was going
to give Us playground at Fletcher ard
State avenues. Instead of that he's buy
ing ground for parks up north and es-
tablishing a golf course in lryington. lie
was going to clean the sewers and lot
OF things. see today that he's going 10
ask us TO approve $4,000 worth Of bonds
to clean the sewers and the reason he ;
doing Il Is because Of complaint az
Twenty-Third and Pennsylvania streets
I was furnished reports OF where the
cinders and gravel We're spread upon the

I don't concur in the mayors ideas. lie
was going to give the councilmen lot
of appointments to make. The minute
that was published in the newspapers
dozens of people after Jobs began TO look
me Up. I'll venture the same thing hap

They were after me day and night. They
