Ousted President Bob Armstrong and Des Moines Paper Changes
The Ames Times reports Bob Armstrong is ousted as president of American Casualty Co of New York due to jealousy by director August Friedland. Armstrongs plan a European trip before resuming business. Frank Bicknell and wife sell Des Moines Mail and Times to C. C. Pugh and S. F. Shhindler, promising continued high standing as leading society and club paper. The Iowa legislature is criticized as a history maker with calls to finish work before state loses credibility shopping for reform. Representative Miller pushes tariff revision but is voted down by the governor’s legislature, seen as political posturing.
