It is one of a series by Fred L. Lindelton, Washington correspondent for International [llustrated N etws, The series is about personalities, and na attempt is made to make political forecasts. By FRED L. LINDELTON Interr.ctional lilustrated News l!l!l » Correspondent HERE are almost 100 men T in the Senate, but gener- ally speaking, there’s one that stands out from the rank and file, and that one is Jim Reed. He's a born fighter, but claims to love peace. Anyway, he’s always willing to fight— even for the sake of peace. He's a master of withering sars casm, but in spite of all this, a rare | bit of humor modifies his attacks. Typical of Jim Reed was his famous tilt with Wayne B. Wheeler, legislative lobbyist of the Antl- Saloon League. At a committee hearing Reed gravely lifted a glass i of water, pretended to blow the foam from ft, and deferentially bowed to Wheeler, saying "Hero- to you." CHAMP “CHAWER" Reed is the champlon “chawer” ' and spittar of the Senate. He al- ways has the frayed butt of a stogie in his mouth. He can't really orate unless there's a cuspidor within range. Reed was following the plough on a farm at the age of eight. He continued until hs was 21. But he bears noe resentment for his early hardehips. He never attacks wealth as wealth, noc does he ever make a pet of poverty. He travels the middle road. He started his political career as ‘county counselor of Kansas City, then became prosecuting attorney, iand twice was elected mayor. He jreached the Senate in 1911 and has ;been there ever since. | Reed was one of the leaders in |the Insurgents’ continual warfare upon Woodrow Wilson and his poli- /cles.
