Discussion centers on Governor Shaw and Dolliver's senate appointment with claims of a mortgage on the congressional seat. The Sioux City Journal urges caution, while sources deny a formal bargain, noting Fort Dodge pressure and preappointment talks among candidates without turning into personal scandal.
In the Marshall town Times-Republican a series of political notes emerge. Bickrell backs Judge Conner of Crawford for Dolliver's successor. Webster and Carroll counties press Conner amid Governor Shaw's moves. Senator Erickson and Judge Stevens are named as potential Boone county successors. Larrabee reports Norwegian and Swedish people as thrifty and happy. Lincoln quotes and Bryan's use of Lincoln's speeches are noted amidst minor campaign rhetoric.

The Fort Dodge Chronicle reports the congressional committee reserves the right to approve the nomination and to appoint a suitable candidate if the nomination proves unacceptable. Despite a convention resolution the committee retains full power and authority.

The text presents a damaged political appeal urging support for administration policies and Republican principles. It references wartime sacrifice, four generations of American soldiers, and a call to vote, but details are obscured by illegible wording and errors.
