State
Democrats Ready
To Support Reed
BY United Press Leased Wire

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Feb. 29.-Sen-
ator James A. Reed Of Missouri
stood today as the unanimous cholce
of Missouri Democrats for the pres
idential nomination
The state Democratic convention
il its closing session yesterday not
only adopted the Democratic slate
endorsed by Reed, but voted to
send an instructed delegation OF
Sd members to Houston, Texas, &c
vote for Reed in the national con
ventiOn.
The action of the state convent
ion was in marked contrast to its
attitude eight years ago when Reed
was read out of the party because
of his feud with President Wilson.
In a resolution the convention de-
clared Reeds services in the United
States senate had excited the admir-
alton of all the people and we ac-
claim him a peerless champion in the
cause of good government.
''ln way unparalleled in public
annals the resolution sadi, "hC
has seourged those who have
bought and sold public offices and
made public office a private oppor-
tunity. He has held as sacred the
privilege of the ballot and driven
from office those who would lay
their corrupting hands on it.

ed as merely pioneering. He declar-
ed that there is a great future in

HOOVER FRIENDS
WORKING HARD
FOR CANDIDATE
Committee Ready For
Aggressive Action In
His Behalf.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. % The
Hoover and antiHoover groups
showed fresh activity today.
Hoover organization work was be-
ing started in Maryland following
an application at Annapolis late
yesterday to place Hoover's name
upon the ballot in the May pri-
mary.
Senator Moses, Republican, New
Hampshire, manifested displeasurc
that Hoover had failed to get more
than two or three prospective Iowa
delegates. He announced he would
eo with Senator Edge, Republican,
New jersey, to the Hoover head
quarters here with an urgent de-
mand that the leaders "get some
fight into the campaign. -
Vice President Charles G. Dawes
invited to lunch Governor Adam
McMullen of Nebraska and thereby
set political tongues wagging. Nc
Mullen protested several weeks ago
against the favorite son candidacy
of Senator Norris of his state. Nc
Mullen wanted to support former
Governor Lowden of Illinois. More
recent reports indicate, however,
that McMullen Will go along with
the Norris movement for the time
being.
Norris told the United Press he
did not know McMullen was coming
to town and that he had arranged
no conference with the Governor,
although he would like to see him.
Dawes is supporter Of Lowden
and is himself regarded as a posi-
bilitv for the nomination, although
he publicly announced he was not
a candidate. Candidates for the
nomination must file for the Ne
braska primaries before March 10.
The situation in Maryland is said
here to be favorable to Hoover, al
though there was some disagreement
recently over the action of j. Craig
McLanahan in forming a "Hoovel
for President club.
The Moses Edge agitation over 10
wa results was not accepted by par
ty leaders generally as any serious
dissa tsisfaction with the progress o.
the Hoover campaign. Iowa gener
ally has been accepted as a Lowdel

PARIS, Feb. ga severe
blow to the American divorce
trade was dealt today when dhe
Versailles court refused a de-
cree to former Secretary of
State Bainbridge Colby, declar-
ing it had no jurisdiction to act.
The decision caused a sensa-
tion in American legal circles.
1t was regarded as the first inn
portant effect of recent court
announcements that restrictions
were to be placed on American
divorce applications.
Anxiety among fashionable di-
vorce applicants was enhanced
by the fact that the first vic
tim was a statesman of interna-
