James Alexander Reed Papers, (K0443) THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MISSOURI RESEARCH CENTER-KANSAS CITY K0443 James Alexander Reed (1861-1944) Papers 1903-1950 59 cubic feet, 45 phonograph recordings Personal and professional correspondence, speeches, case files, legal documents, scrapbooks, and subject files of Kansas City Mayor and United States Senator James A. Reed. BIOGRAPHY: James Reed was born, November 9, 1861, on a farm near Mansfield, Ohio. When he was three years old, his parents, John and Nancy Reed, moved their family to Iowa. He attended public school and worked on the family farm on land which later became a part of Cedar Rapids. For a few months, Reed was a student at Parsons Seminary (now Coe College), but withdrew in order to work on the farm. For a while he studied law at night in the offices of Hubbard, Clark and Dowley, one of the first law firms in Cedar Rapids. Reed was admitted to the bar in 1885. In 1887, Reed married Lura Olmstead, and they moved to Kansas City. Within a short time, Reed became well-known in the city, and in 1898 he was elected Public Prosecutor of Jackson County, convicting 285 cases out of 287 cases tried. In 1900 and 1902, Reed won the Kansas City mayoral elections, after which he directed his energies to building up a successful law practice. One of his most famous local cases was the prosecution of Dr. Bennett Clark Hyde in the Swope murder trial in 1910. Reed, a Democrat, won a seat in the United States Senate, replacing Major William Warner, Republican, for a term beginning March 4, 1911. He held that position for eighteen years. He was involved in such issues as child labor, Prohibition, the League of Nations, and tariffs. In 1924 and 1928, Reed was a candidate for President. In 1932, it appeared he had a very strong chance of receiving the Democratic nomination, but it went instead to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Throughout Roosevelt's terms as President, Reed spoke strongly against the New Deal and its effects upon the Constitution. Reed was a founder and honorary president of the Jeffersonian Democrats. Although Reed had always SHSMO-KC March 21, 2014 REVISED K0443 James Alexander Reed (1861-1944) Papers Page 2 been staunchly Democratic and never formally switched political parties, he supported Wendel Willkie, a Republican, for President in 1940. In the autumn of 1932, Lura Olmstead Reed died. In December 1933, Reed married the popular and successful businesswoman, Nell Quinlan Donnelly, whose kidnappers he had prosecuted the previous year. Reed’s law firm was embroiled in lengthy labor and fair competition litigation directed at the Donnelly Garment Company, of which Nell was founder and president. In the final years of his life, Reed continued a full speaking engagement schedule, alternated with stays at his ranch in Fairview, Michigan. He died of pneumonia at Reed Ranch on September 8, 1944.

  • Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance
    Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City By Lance Russell Owen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael Johns, Chair Professor Paul Groth Professor Margaret Crawford Professor Louise Mozingo Fall 2016 Abstract Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance Russell Owen Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Johns, Chair Between the World Wars, Kansas City, Missouri, achieved what no American city ever had, earning a Janus-faced reputation as America’s most beautiful and most corrupt and crime-ridden city. Delving into politics, architecture, social life, and artistic production, this dissertation explores the geographic realities of this peculiar identity. It illuminates the contours of the city’s two figurative territories: the corrupt and violent urban core presided over by political boss Tom Pendergast, and the pristine suburban world shaped by developer J. C. Nichols. It considers the ways in which these seemingly divergent regimes in fact shaped together the city’s most iconic features—its Country Club District and Plaza, a unique brand of jazz, a seemingly sophisticated aesthetic legacy written in boulevards and fine art, and a landscape of vice whose relative scale was unrivalled by that of any other American city. Finally, it elucidates the reality that, by sustaining these two worlds in one metropolis, America’s heartland city also sowed the seeds of its own destruction; with its cultural economy tied to political corruption and organized crime, its pristine suburban fabric woven from prejudice and exclusion, and its aspirations for urban greatness weighed down by provincial mindsets and mannerisms, Kansas City’s time in the limelight would be short lived.

    el~ .li.LIO X"IK>li. MaN li.VM<IVOllll 66~ s.ta'IlldWVd: 'IVNOILVNll:il.LNI THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LIBERTY LEAGUE BY GRACE HUTCHINS IF YOU were listening in on the radio one Saturday night not long ago, you may have heard Jouett Shouse, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, now president of the American Liberty League. On a nationwide hook-up he described the kind of man Wall Street wants as the next President of the United States: "A man of prudent caution, of hard-headed business sense, of inflexible will and determination is needed for the job." Does Alf Mossman Landon, Governor of Kansas and Republican candidate for President of the United States, fit this description? Is he the kind of man the American Liberty League wants in the White House? That is one of the questions we shall seek to an­ swer in- the following pages. And what is this Liberty League that claims to be "non-parti­ san"-whose members are supporting Landon and the Republican Party in the 1936 election campaign? What is this organization that claims to speak in the name of "American Liberty"-two words that mean a great deal to all true Americans? Why is it so much concerned about "liberty"? Liberty for whom? What Is tke Liberty League? At the expensive Union League Club, corner of Park Avenue and 37th Street, New York City, a private meeting was held one day in the Summer of 1934. John J. Raskob, vice-president of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 'and director of the du Pont­ Morgan General Motors Corp., and other representatives of du 3 Pont munitions were present at this meeting to form the American Liberty League, which was incorporated on August 15, 1934.
