SCORES
SENATOR REED
Ex-President, Still in Politics,
Declares Missourian Inca
pabIe of Personal Loyalty.
ny Internatlensi Ne~a Service,

woodrow Wilson, sick and
broken in health as he may be. has
not retired from politics and has
no intention OF doing 80.
This fact stood forth in bolder
relief than ever before today as a
result OF the former Presidents
letter TO st. Louis newspaper. in
which he scathingly took TO task
Senator James A. Reed Dem9 OF
Missouri, who IN coming. up for
reelection at the hands OF the Mis-
souri, electorate this year.
ITO those who have -closcfy OBJ
served Mr.. Reeds career in Wash
ington," wrote Mr., Wilson, he
has shown himself incapable of sus-
tanning allegiance TO any person OF
any cause. He has repeatedly for
feited any claim TO nay confidence
that he may ever have been sup
posed TO have, and / never shall
willingly consent 70 any further as
sociation with him"
Washington generally Interpreted
the letter as meaning that even
though retired from the political
spotlight, Mr.. Wilson has no inten-
tion of forgetting his political
enemies.
The feud between Mr.. Wilson and
Senator Reed Is of long standing.
1t was almost continuous through.
out the eight years OF Mr.. Wilson's
Administration, and became pro-
nounced and bitter when Senator
Reed became the implaccable foe
of the League OF Nations
At the San Francisco convention
in 1920 Senator Reed was denied his
seat, as delegate from his own
state in a contest brought by Ad.
ministration supporters In his dis
trict. After an all-nieht bearing be
fore the Administration-c n-controiied
committee, Senator Reed was barred.
A hot comeback from the Missouri
Senator was expected today. At his
office Il was stated that Senator
Reed has Photographic copies of the
letter which Mr. Wilson, said he
had no recollection OF having written.
