Telephone, loom and long distance, No. 112. Entered at the postortlre at Fort Altll, 8. C., as malt itfntter of the second class. THURSDAY, MAY 11 f1922. v If United States Senator Jim" Reed does not go down to defeat in the Democratic primary in Missouri on August 1 it wilt not be the "fault of Wood row Wilson, who is taking an active interest in the eaiupuign by urging his friends in that State to use their influence to prevent the senator's renominution. Of all the men in the United States senate when Mr. Wilson submitted the Ver( tiillno ^ ?inii *? ? *!? ?* ? iminvn jivovi" iira^V IU lliai UWU? and asked for its ratification, .Senator Heed was its inost uucoinproiniuing opponent, lie had 'fallen out* with Air. Wilson gnu allowed his dislike for the president ~to run wild with his judgment. Not only on the floor ot the senate but elsewhere in pub ' Ijc addresses he made in opposition to.the treaty, Senator Kceil charged Mr. Wilson with insincerity and dishonesty. The Alis / souri senator, is a man ofbrilliam parts and the tight he made on the treaty had a telling effect. Now. Mr. Wilson sees what he "thinks is an opportunity to even scores with Senator lieed and at the same time aid humanity l>\ helping to bring about his defeat. What will be the effect ot Mr. Wilson's opposition to Sena tor Heed f Only the election itself will toll, but those who agree with Mr. Wilson that Senator Heed has beep a liability rather thafi an asset to the Democratic party and to the country are _ hopeful that the efforts of the lurmer president will turn the tide against liiiu; but even these cannot deceive themselves into believing that Breckinridge Long lveecL's opponent for the nomina tion, is in the senator's cluss ae a campaigner. Others doubtless are wondering why " Mr. Wilson should display such keen interest in the senatorial primary in Missouri when the party is to put up candidates for the senate in 30 odd other Stutes. To The Times , the reason is obvious.-. While the former president shows himself huuiun in his desire to see Sena lor Reod beaten, there is behind bis opposition to the senator more than a desire to 4'get oVTii." Mr. Wilson believes tlia. the next president of the United States will be a Democrat, and that in the election the Leagm "ol Nations will be a factor. He wants to see the senate ratify the Versailles treaty, iucluding tin League of Nations covenant, anu he knows tliut should a l)emocra> be elected in 1924 the treaty will again be submitted to the senate. -Mr. Wilson very rightly concludes thai Senator Reed would be as hostile to ratification of the treaty at an^f time in the future us he has been in the past. But looking at Mr. Wilson's opposition to Senator Reed -from the. viewpoint of the senator's sup-" porters, one sees it in a different light. They are saying that it . shows the inordinate desire of the former president to dictate ndt only the policy of the Democratic party but the selection of its candidates, and they are "certain the fight Mr. Wilson is making on Senator Reed will do Jiim more good than harm. Of coursethat remains to be seen. Reec^ is ' not the sort of Democrat racist members of the party would likte to see in the senate from Missour ri, but his election is to be de\ aired above that of any Republic t 0 can, and we shall be surprised if (V he H not . renominated. Mean- y while the .Republicans are ahow-1 ui(jr quite &8 much interest ss the Democrat in the Missouri contest. Should Senator Reed be renominated the Republicans will ? claim that his victory more than - offsets the defeat of Senator New by Beveridge* in Indiana last week and that it-is another evi .. i '""- ',;' / ..% > > -deuce of the country's attitude i of hostility toward the League of Nations. There would be no basin in fact for such a claim, but that would make no* difference to the Republicans. We have said The Times- will be surprised if Senator Reed is not renominated Why? Because in the Democratic primary iu Missouri there is 110 such obligation as we have in South Carolina for the voter to support the party nominees. Such being the case, Republicans by the | tens of thousands will vote in the ' primary for Reed and we believe insure his nomination. Then in the general election most of them will vote against him. ^ Says the Columbia State of yesterday in its news columns: "Ed T. Hughes of Marion, chairman of the ways iujd means commiuee 01- the house, was here y?sterdav and -in talking with friends he intimated he might make the race for governor this summer. . .-.
