REED STANDS ON RECORD
Senator Defends His Course Before
Large Audience Friday
Evening.

Senator James A. Reed spoke in de-
tense of his senatorial record here Fri
day night to a crowd estimated at
from seven hundred to eight hundred
people. The circuit court room
where Senator Reed spoke was
crowded to capacity. All available
seats were occupied and standing
room was at a premium.
He was introduced by Hon. T. w.
Silvers, who stated that Senator Reed
had so often spoken in Bates county
that an introduction was unnecessary.
The Senator opened his speech with
a tribute to the late Congressman
David A. DeArmond.
He began his speech with the state
ment that he was here to render an
accounting to the only bosses whom he
would recognize, the people. He said
he was willing to admit he might
have made mistakes, but insisted that
upon all important matters he had
been right. Claiming that his course
in the senate had been misrepresented
and magnified by unfriendly and dis
honest newspapers he said that he had
not been given credit for the thou-
sands of times he had upheld and sup
ported President Wilson, but that the
few times he had differed with the
President had been given the widest
publicity.
He reviewed a number of instances
The Butler weekly times and the Bates County record. (Butler, Mo.) 1918-1950, 1922-06-01

in which he had differed with the pol
icies of the president and adroitly de-
scribing the possible consequences
asked those of his audience who would
vote for such things to come to pass
as he pictured, to so indicate.
He stated that much capital had
been made over his refusal to support
for confirmation some of the presi-
dents appointments, and said that OF
ever forty thousand names sent to
the senate for confirmation by Presi-
dent Wilson, he had opposed only
seven or eight.
H defended his fight on the So
called maternity bill, claiming it
would permit an invasion of the sane
tity of the American home and would
place motherhood under the control
Ct board OF spinisters who had only
theoretical knowledge OF the subject,
and he paid glowing tribute to

At the close of his defense, he
launched an attack Upon the Repub-
llcan national administration and pic
tured President Harding as kindly
jovial person of very limited ability
Senator Reed at all times held the
undivided attention of his large audi
cnce, and at no time was he inter-
rupted or heckled. Applause except
upon two occasions was light and

DON'T SELL YOUR
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Owners of the 1918 issue of wal
savings stamps are being advised by
Postmaster Turner to hold them un.
til their maturity on January 1, 1923
about eight months hence. In that
period they viii earn over Is pei
cent per annum on the average cost
price, it was pointed out.
To give some idea of the advantage
OF holding these 1918 stamps until
their maturity date, Postmaster Tur-
ner stated that $1l,00 worth of the
stamps, costing 1886 in 1918, are
worth 1926 during the current month,
but in eight months they win be re-
deemed in cash by the government
for $1,000, or s74 more than their
present cash value.
In order to finance the redemption
of these stamps the treasury depart.
ment is issuing a series of treasury
savings certificate in denominations
of $1,000, 500 and SIS, costing $500,
$50 and $50 each, respectively. These
certificates run for five years and
pay 4 - per cent interest compound
ed semi-annually, and are free from
all state, county and city taxes, and
Postmaster Turner states that he can
supply any desired quantity of these
certificates.

Curiously enough, the fact that the
