James Reed Answers
Rooseve|t's 5 Dig With
MY Dear Jim Letter
Missouri Ex-senator
| Shows Democratic, /.
1928-32 Allegiance
6y the Associated Press.

81 the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, July 25.-James
A. Reed, replying to President
Roosevelt's charge that he had for
saken the Democratic party in 1896
and 1892 and probably in 1928. pro-
duced letter today addressed my
Dear Friend Jim" in which Mr..
Roosevelt thanked him for his aid in
the 1882 campaign.
The Democratic former Senator
from Missouri said in q statement
that If President Roosevelt has
forgotten all my efforts for him
In 1882 then his recollections must
be as poor as his judgment"
During q press conference Tues
day Mr.. Roosevelt declared that Mr..
Reed. who has offered to organize
Independent Democrats opposed to
q third term, was well qualified for
the Job because of previous expert
ences in 1882 and 1886.
Worked for Smith.
The former Senator said he went
to Albany in 1882 at Mr.. Roosevelt's
request and later answered speeches
by Herbert Hoover, the Republican
standard bearer, also at the request
Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt will recall
that at Jefferson City, Mo-, I held
an audience of 5000 persons until
he could arrive and then introduced
him." Mr.. Reed said.
Il separated from Mr.. Roosevelt
when he repudiated the principles
OF the platform of 1882 upon which
he was elected"
Mr.. Reed declared he campaigned
for Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic
candidate, in 1928 and Endorsed him
tn a speech at the national con-
vention.
President Roosevelt concluded his
attack on Mr.. Reed with a remark
that I'VE all remember that sweat
shop matter, of course"
Mr. Reed replied that Mrs. Reed
''like Mrs. Roosevelt is in business,
but any statement to the effect that
Mrs. Reed has ever run a sweat shop
is infamously false and has been
found to be false by four United
States judges.
Meeting Is Deferred.
"Wages paid at the Donnelly Gar
ment Co. (of which Mrs. Reed Is
president) are now and have been
tar in excess of the wages required
under the wage-and-hour law and
those paid in union shops in this
section"
The Donnelly company is in itiga-
ton with the National Labor Rela-
tions Board over a union contract.
Mr.. Reed said flood of appi-
cations for participation" led him to
postpone a Chicago anti-third term
meeting.
The Missourian, who organized
the National Jeffersonian Demo-
Gratis" to oppose President Roose-
ve!t's reelection in 1896, added that
a larger gathering than the one
originally called for tomorrow would
be held later.
