The piece critiques Hughes as a front for big interests, defends Wilson, blames party editors for syndicated content, and condemns lenient justice in the Orpet case while urging strong punishment for crime.

Another Railroad Plot by W. J. Bryan
W J Bryan argues the Republican platform calls for federal control of all railroads, removing state oversight and boosting national politics by railroad influence. He cites Hughes and the Minnesota rate case, contrasts with Democrats favoring state remedies added to national ones, and warns of Roosevelt’s support. Mountford invites readers to contact him by phone.
