Independent Review Smears Missouri Campaign Deal
William Marion Reedy decries a Republican Populist lobbyist pact in Missouri aimed at uniting behind Richard G. Kerens for the U.S. Senate. He accuses Phelps, Kerens, and Meriwether of treasonous, boodle ridden tactics, betraying party principles for spoils and municipal ownership. He argues such a coalition destroys reform prospects and leaves the state under flawed leadership.
