Long Sends Rejoinder
to Reeds Letter on
Republican Votes
St. Louisan Expresses Views on COP. Enter
ing Democratic Primary and Again Calls on
Senator to Disavow Such Tactics

behalf Of the ticket The first oc-
casion was on your first appear
ance in Missouri after the primary
election of 1920 when the the state
chairman called on you and asked
you. The second was when let
ter was addressed to you from
state headquarters. Both of these
occasions were prior to the date
of your hiring hall in Kansas
City, in which you made your
speech, asking the people to vote
against the regular Democratic
nominee, after which you repaired
to Wisconsin and came back
through Illinois, making speeches
which were reported in the Hearst
press under the caption: "Reed
Reads Riot Act to Wilson; Demo-
cratic Senator Assails Party Pact;
Bolts Party Nominee and Attacks
President as Dictator"
Purpose of Primary
Now, as to serious-minded nom
political organizations taking a
part in the campaign. First, have
never asked the aid of any such
organization, having a member
ship of persons belonging to all
political parties. But for the pur-
pose of Democratic primary
only such as are Democrats should
vote.
Now, this is all beside the point
and / have written it only because
you have gone into a lot of ex-
traneous matters in replying to a
direct and specific request, which
had as its object to preserve the
integrity of the party which has
honored you in the past and to
which | am proud to belong.
Neither Republicans nor Socia-
lists have legal right in a Dem
ocratic primary and l had hoped
you would be willing to join in q
public request to disavow any re-
ported activity of your managers
and friends to seek Republican
support. l frankly do so, and re-
pudiate any such activity in ?
Democratic primary, but | just a.
frankly will seek Republican vote:
after our party has made its deci
sion. All citizens are invited tc
join with US in November to re
turn to days of prosperity.
Therefore. ] again call upon yo,
to join in an open letter to pre-
serve our party integrity and tt
keep our party decision free fron
confusion which might attend !
our ranks are thrown open t.
those who have selfish and mar
row purposes and who do not be
long to our party.
In closing you mention the fac
of my defeat two years ago, bu
do not mention that in 1916 yoI
ran some thousand votes behin'
your presidential nominee, whil
in 1920 I ran thousands ahead o
the presidential nominee. 0
course, if we had had your sup
port that year we might hav
Jared better.
Very respectfully,
BRECKENRIDGE LONG.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 21-Breck-
ridge Long tonight sent the fol-
wing rejoinder to the reply OF Sen
or Reed to Longs first letter on
Ie issue OF the campaign.
The letter follows:
Hon. James A. Reed, Kansas
City. Dear Senator Reed:
While ! have not received your
letter of yesterday, ] have read it
in the papers. Lest there be some
misunderstanding from it and a.
wrong impression gained from
statements therein purporting to
be statements of fact, l take the
immediate opportunity of bringing
them to your attention and to the
attention of the public.
You enter an emphatic denial to
my statement that your manager
has written to Republicans and
Socialists asking them to vote in
the Democratic primary for you,
You evidently have forgotten
the letter written to Republican
at Paris, Mo-, and could cite to
you number Of other Republi-
cans in other parts of the state of
Missouri.
Mr.. l.. F. Padberg, a Republ-
can judge of election, at St. Louis,
resigned as an election official in
order to help you, as well as adj
vertise in the press.
"Liv" Morse and other Republi-
can leaders are known to be adj
vertising your nomination. No
such activity emanatcs from my
headquarters. We do not solicit
Republican votes in our primary.
AS to letters to Socialists being
addressed by your supporters, |
would like to cite you circular
letter they are sending out carry
ing an appeal from Mrs. Jane
Cooler, secretary of the Socialists
Union League of St. Louis, pub
lished first in the St. Louis Star
of June IL, 1922. This letter urges
the support Of ycur candidacy and
concludes with timely warning
that they will say it with votes at
the polls.
Called at Globe Democrat
You mention my visit to the
Globe Democrat. / certainly did
call upon and had a conversation
with the president of the COM
pany, which publishes that paper,
not to ask his support, but in or
der to discuss with him the policy
of the news columns of the paper
which appeared to me and to my
friends to be discriminating against
me, in the reports published Of
my meetings and in the general
news policy of the paper, as dis
tinguished from its editorial col
umn.
One serious matter you take up
That is what you refer to as hav-
ing been ruled off the platform in
1920. AS a matter of fact, it never
occurred to me that Democratic
office holder of high degree
needed to be asked to make
speeches for his party, but, not
withstanding that, / was party to
two requests to, you to speak ii

Marion Man Afflicted With Leprosy
Problem on Richmond's Hands.

The following from the Times-Dis-
patch of Richmond, Va, will be OF
interest to people of this section:
Despite tie fact that he is afflicted
with one of the most malignant NAL
aides known, William M. Skipper, Of
Marion county, South Carolina, whom
the city bureau of health has declar-
ed infected witt leprosy, takes his
fate philisopaically and was found in
good spirits whea visited by Director
Of Public Welfare Levy. The bureau
of health he's begun the administra-
ton of doses of an esther of the active
principle of Chaulmugra oil, which
regarded as the most effective meth
od of treating the disease, and Skip
ter declared himself greatly pleased
with this. He has been given several
doses of the medicine already. 1t is
the same treatment that is given to
patients il the rational leper hospit-
a. in louisiana by the government,
with highly beneficial results and in
several instances perms nent cures.
Skipper expressed wish to be
with his wife and child in Marion
county, South Carolina, but since this
cannot be arranged he appears to bow
uncomplainingly to the inexorable.
In the meantime the government has
begun an extensive investigation in

EVIDENCE. OF PROSPERITY
CITED IN CAPITAL CITY.
Facts Now Taking Place of Hope for
Return of Nation to State of
Business Normally.

Washington, May 11.-President
Rarding's conference on unemploy-
mens reports that during the month
Just passed has decreased, there be-
ing $50 seekers fer every 100 jobs,
as compared with 226 unemployed for
every opportunity at the beginning
of the year. In January A per cent.
of unemployed could find work, where
as row 62 per cent. can find places.
With the jobless estimated as $500,
600, the figures work out to the open
ing of opportunities for an army OF
1000 men.
Further evidence of returning pros
rerivy is seen ct the capital in the
growing numbers of travellers who
ask for passports for foreign jour
aeys. So great is the rush for the
little green-covered evidences OF
Am ican citizenship that almost w.
600 we.e issued in April, and the
state department, which has !urlsdic-
tion oyer granting them, warns
wou,d-be travellers to apply early II
thew would receive their passports in
time.
Department of Labor statistics in
iicate that living costs are steadily
decreasing, further evidence OF real
prosperity. The fall in the cost OF
living in principal cities between june
1926, and March, 1922, the depart
aert estimated, was greatest in De-
troit. where it amounted to 26 per
cent. In New York the decrease was
a25 per cent. in the sarle period, and
in Chicago 23.1 per cent. The small
est decrease sound was in Los Angeles
where it was 14.5 per cent.
Comptroller of the Currency Crs-
SINGER, sometimes called the govern
ment's official opt;mist, said in an ad-
dress before the Florida bankers con-
yension: "The business outlook 1or
the whole country is brighter and
more encouraging thar it has been
for the past two years. We are well
rid of business and industrial froth'
and in a position to 60 forward on
sound and substantial lines. We are
ready to start, to be off, to be doing.
Business industry, agriculture and
commerce need only the awakening
of American pluck, courage and
initiative to insure the reestablish-
inert of prosperity"
