The demise of Senator Dolliver came as a surprise given his age and prior health concerns. A prominent figure since entering public life, his oratorical skill and recent tariff analysis in Congress were noted as a significant culmination of his career, earning praise despite earlier criticisms.
The Iowa Courier weighs the Dolliver vacancy with Gov. Carroll holding appointment power until the 1913 legislature elects Dolliver’s successor. It favors Harvey Ingham as the best progressive choice, arguing he would be an American senator representing national ideals beyond Des Moines or Iowa.
A Burt's Monitor reader notes that the Advance's recent reply misreads its own debate philosophy. The writer argues no essential difference exists between progressive republicanism and democracy, aside from tariff rhetoric, and claims progressives have rarely distanced themselves from infant industry protection.
In Kossuth county and across the nation the debate centers on tariff reform. The piece rejects the Advance's claim that progressive Republicans endorse the Republican platform and argues that true protection aims to match domestic and foreign production costs with a fair profit. It asserts progressives favor no extra profit for protected interests and urges polling locals to gauge support.
The article recalls the 1898 destruction of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor, the ensuing U S war fever, and the court of inquiry that blamed an external explosion. It notes competing opinions from Spaniards Cubans and some officials doubting the finding, and reports Congress funding a new effort to raise the wreck to determine the cause under Major General William H Bixby with a 415 by 276 foot cofferdam to expose the hull.
President Taft asks Spain and Cuba to send observers to the site as the investigation proceeds. Officials promise openness to determine the explosion’s cause. Reporters may photograph and examine findings as the wrecked section is raised piece by piece.
London reports secret talks over months to federate Great Britain and colonies, modeled on the American Union. Earl Grey leads a plan granting home rule to England Ireland Scotland and Wales with a 200 member Commons and a 200 member Senate, while colonies receive six year senators. Support varies by region, with opposition from some Scottish landlords wary of local radicalism.
A strict watch on wealthy smugglers returning from Europe has boosted New York customs revenue from about 487 thousand to over 1.04 million dollars by September 30 1910. Forfeitures and fines near 100 thousand dollars accompany seizures and convictions. Notable levies include Gov Rollins of New Hampshire 9500 Morgenthau 11500 Mrs Adriance 18000 Mrs Cheseborough 37000 and a Minneapolis banker 5000. Proposed penalties include imprisonment in future cases.
The text notes William Jennings Bryan backs Dahlman for Nebraska governor, a stance he refuses to support on conscience. It also cites ex governor John Lind urging re-election of a Republican senator, Clapp, for independence. It questions which prominent Republican has shown similar loyalty to conscience over party, highlighting Cummins and La Follette as examples to consider.
Governor Carroll refuses a mutual debate with Claude Porter. The governor favors speaking alone on the 1893 panic and avoiding confrontation with Porter, deeming a direct clash a risky move and calling Porter a live wire.
Obituary notes the death of Julia Ward Howe, famed writer of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The article mentions her literary achievements and influence on American hymnody and reform movements.
President Taft plans a Panama trip to push winter Congress to enact canal statutes. Col. Goethals backs a military government for the Isthmus, while civil rule is also under review. Toll rates, fortifications, and labor wages will be addressed as the canal nears completion and opening set for 1912.
President Taft weighs road independence versus canal adjunct status for the road and the distribution of coal at the terminal. He considers private concessions with caution over foreign shipping control and will personally inspect the Culebra Cut slide. Taft will sail from Charleston aboard the North Carolina, with the Montana escort, to Panama, possibly taking Mrs. Taft and visiting Cincinnati on the way.
Des Moines reports a push to unite progressive Republicans and Democrats around Rooseveltian and Bryanite ideals. Senator Cummins allegedly backs a convention in Kansas to form a new party based on square deal principles and industrial freedom for all, aligning Roosevelt, Bryan, Dolliver, Pinchot and others opposed to Taft.
