K. K. BREWSTER
BEGINS FIGHT
TO BEAT REED
Defends Harding and
18th Amend
nlent.

"dIseuSUuTS, MO., oept. SV.-(by
the Associated Press)-Opening
his campaign here today, r. r.
Brewster, Republican candidate for
United States senator, declared in
an address that the Eighteenth
amendment, "as part of the organic
law of the nation, must be up
held" He reviewed the achieve
ments Of the Republican National
administration and took issue with
Senator James A. Reed, his Demo-
cratic opponent, for the manner in
which the senator has criticised
President Harding and Governor
Arthur M. Hyde, in his campaign.
Regarding prohibition, Mr..
Brewster said that the Eighteenth
amendment STRIKES squarely at
intoxicating beverages" and that it
was the duty of congress to fix
the alcoholic content that is in
toxicating."
Up to Congress.
Congress must not evade this re-
sponsibility, he said, adding that
the law should not be bent out OF
its legitimate course, even from
the loftiest motives, or in the
name of its enforcement"
If a beverage, containing in ex-
cess Of one-half of one percent Of
alcohol is Intoxicating" he added
then it comes under the ban oi
the constitution and should be pro-
hibited. If, on the other hand, a
beverage, containing a percent in
excess of the 'one-half of one per-
cent standard, is still safely under
the point of intoxication, then il
does not come under the inhibition
of the constitution, and in my judg-
ment, its manufacture, sale and
transportation should not be pro-
hibited."
Would Seek Advice.
Mr.. Brewster said that if this
matter should come before him as
a senator, he would seek the advice
of scientists and chemists. He said
that he did not want the vote Of
any single man or woman upon
the theory of expectation that
will violate my oath Of office, OF
that l will try to nullify the Eigh-
teenth amendment to the consti-
tuition by an act of congress"
The candidate said that Senator
Reeds stock in trade as an orator
has been his ability to criticize
ridicule and malign his opponent.
The senator's recent speech in
Mexico, Mo-, in which he attacked
the administration of President
Harding and Governor Hyde was
referred to particularly.
II remember that Senator Reed
has heretofore abused and other
wise attacked Governor Hyde and
vilified him more than any man ex.
cept perhaps woodrow Wilson,
Mr.. Brewster said.
Reed ~Crucified" Wilson.
my Democratic friends, you who
believe in the principles OF democ.
racy as championed by Woodrow
Wilson, remember when you heal
the senator's criticism Of Governor
HYDE and Of President Harding
that his language is mild and low
ing compared with the Language
used by him to criticize and cru
city the man who was not only tht
head of his party, but the presiden
of his country"
Referring to the record OF thu
present national administration
Mr.. Brewster declared that zone o
the greatest steps ever taken II
human history was taken BY Pres
ident Harding when he called tn
disarmament conference to meet II
the city Of Washington.
