Misgouri Misreads Reed as Missouri Primaries Favor Other Governors
A Missouri assessment notes Senator Reed failed to attract support in the recent Democratic primaries. It describes him as a free lancer within the party, bitter with Wilson, and blamed for public relations of McAdoo and Doheny. The piece critiques the primary system, cites six gubernatorial candidates, and warns of broader economic woes including currency decline and threshing machine manufacture woes affecting labor. It closes by noting Massachusetts cities cut auto fatalities and suggesting wider adoption of restrictive driver measures.
