Post-Dispatch Endorses Reed, Southside Journal Goes with Shrewsbury

From the Post-Dispatch:

“Mr. Shrewsbury has a solid 24-year record of sometimes plodding, but honest and diligent service. Mr. Reed is a bright, engaging and capable politician who would help bridge the racial gap in city politics. The choice is a close one, but the recommendation here is that voters choose Lewis E. Reed.”

From the Southside Journal:

“Both are sincere, hardworking men who are devoted to making St. Louis a better place to live.

Shrewsbury has been listening to the voice of St. Louis for nearly 25 years.

Reed has a vision for St. Louis that cannot be accomplished from the aldermanic chambers. Reed’s vision is better suited for the mayor’s office. Shrewsbury should be retained as aldermanic president when voters go to the polls March 6.”
