SENATOR REED
CONDEMNS ACTS
OF REPUBLICANS

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 21.-Senator
James A. Reed, of Missouri, opened
his stump campaign for the Democra-
It's presidential nomination here last
night with a plea that the Demo

more in the hands of the American
people,
Senator Reed addressed meeting
of Democratic leaders of Texas as
sembled for the opening speech of
his campaign of the southwest.
Reed declared the most import
ant decision before the American
people is to drive the Republican
party from power.

influence OF the great interests up
on the government, Reed said, deS-
clibing the opening of the Harding
administration. But in this case

Reed referred to former Attorney

Attacking campaign contributions
the Missouri Senator declared "cen-
tain interests regard campaign con
tributions as mere option purchases
of the government.
The present farm situation was
laid at the door of the Republican
tariff by Reed, who went ahead to
criticize the work of Herbert Hoover
as food administrator during the
war.
"The American farmer, whose
prices have been regulated down by
Mr.. Hoover during the entire war
upon the bankrupt markets OF
Europe and the price of the surplus
of course, fixed the level of the
domestic market, " Reed said.
