Reed of Missouri Seeks Delegates Role at Democratic Meeting
San Francisco June 24 Members of the national committee meet tomorrow to finalize the temporary roster of delegates to the Democratic convention. Senator James A. Reed of Missouri arrives to press recognition as a delegate amid opposition to the League of Nations covenant. Reed claims election from Missouri's Fifth district, but his name is not on the committee’s submitted list. The Missouri state convention had rejected Reed’s selection, and records show the Fifth district did not choose a delegate to fill his seat during the life of the state convention, though Reed was later reelected.
