Pinchot v. Reed

"I am a candidate against David A. Reed for the U. S. Senate. Reed as Senator has run the errands and taken the orders of Mellon, the international bankers and the steel interests long enough. He should be replaced by a man who will take his orders only from the people."

Thus last week, recuperating in a Manhattan sanatorium from a siege of shingles, did Pennsylvania's Governor Gifford Pinchot announce his intention of seeking in the primaries next May the Republican nomination he failed to get in 1914 and 1926. An oldtime Progressive with New Deal sympathies, Governor Pinchot if defeated by Senator Reed may run next November as an independent.

Commented Senator Reed: "An unscrupulous politician and a common scold."
