On the same link, you will find links to three of Reed's speeches, including the speech that Mencken heard in the Senate gallery on the eve of the Harding inauguration, as well as an article that Reed wrote for Mencken in the mid-1920s, etc..

Reed was an absolute terror to phonies in the Senate, even as Mencken describes.

I read through a lot of the first speech of Reed's in the Senate and it's quite a prescient speech that talks quite a bit about colonialism and its relationship to globalism,

Lots of great commentary to finish reading later on. Thanks.

Reed is quite the politician. Honest, articulate, predicts the future. He's a duck out of water in Congress :- )
