Kansas City, June 30.-From his
sick bed here today. Senator James
A. Reed issued statement in which
he asserted that If a 4" certain candi-
date" whose name is now before the
Democratic National convention, is
nominated for the presidency. the
Democratic party will likely be COM
PEELED to conduct its campaign in a
federal courtroom defending its can
didate against serious criminal
charges for violation of federal sta
tutes. He did not name the candi-
date referred to.
Senator Reed dictated this state
ment:
"Of course, I do not know what
the convention will do. but should
be greatly surprised IL 1t should
nominate as a candidate a man
whom the Republican leaders in all
probability are eagerly waiting the
opportunity to indict for violating
the federal statutes which FORBID
federal employees end officers ap-
pearing before departments within
two years after their employment to
touch any matter of claim pending
during the time of their employ
ment.
1.-THE facts do not seem to be In
dispute and should we nominate
such a man We are likely to be COM
PEELED to conduct our campaign In
some federal courtroom, defending
our candidate against a serious
criminal charge instead OF being leo
by him in a great battle to be
fought out in the public forum.
where the Democratic party would
have the natural advantages
sprineing from the fact that bribery
thus far uncovered has been confin-
ed to officials of the opposite party;
But that kind of an issue would
not get us very far If the RepuoH-
cans were able to truthfuliy charge
that those who had corrupted Fan

that in addition to this employment

fore a department of the govern

two wears after his connection Win
the very department. in absolute
violation of the federal statutes
we'll I do not think the Democratic

mistake as to undertake to force

Chairman Brewster
Committee Makes
Statement on Progress

Alton G.. Wheeler, chairman OF the
Statewide committee investigating the
primary vote in the interest of Ralph
o. Brewster, who was defeated 70" the
race for the Republican nomination for
governor on the face of official returns.
made the following statement Monday:
1t has been necessary for the COM
mittee investigating the various re-
ports about the State regarding the
conduct of the recent primary election
to proceed very rapidly in their work
as a result of the time for inspection
being limited to 10 days under the stat
ute. Some parties in interest raised a
question as to whether a recount OF
ballots could be called for without In
spection and also as to whether there
could be any inspection of the ballots
without legal notice. For theis reason
1t was necessary to send notices to
every town clerk in the State with re-
quest for inspection and the assign
ment of the time.
Arrangements were also completed
as far as possible for representatives
of the committee to he present at ev-
cry inspection. Insofar as this was
not practicable, the committee were en-
tirely willing so far as their interests
were concerned to trust to the check
of the town clerk. This would not, of
course, 9IteCL TIE ElSulS VI any oic eiSS
involved.
The only desire Of the committee
throughout this entire matter has
been to get at the facts as it seemed
to the committee that the people were
entitId to tn fullest information in
matter of this Importance. 1t was
believed that inspection only in those
places where irregularities were ru-
mored might seem to be approaching 1t
from a standpoint of favoring one can
6idate alone and that such action
might subject the committee to criti-
cisnn.
The committee are using their very
best efforts in this matter in the short
time at their disposal and expect very
shortly to have sufficient, information
available upon which to base def
mite recommendation as to future ac-
ton.
1t will be very unfortunate IL any
spirit of controversy shall be permit
ted to enter into this matter by anyone
concerned, as the nomination of either
candidate should have the support of
the united party. Both candidates are
showing the best spirit of cooperation.
