Mellon Backs Reed as 1928 Republican Hope
Washington, Jan 7. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon favors Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania as the 1928 Republican presidential nominee. Reed, a 47-year-old Pittsburgh attorney aligned with Mellon interests, entered the Senate in 1926 and could carry Pennsylvania at the next convention. Mellon's stance is not a personal bid, and he has opposed other leading candidates though Hughes previously surfaced as a possibility.
