A Montana newspaper fragment reports Professor Bauder asserting a device based on mineral resistance and electrical properties near oil wells. He claims a general law explains electrical phenomena and could curb speculative oil booms, reducing hopeless speculation in oil regions.
A vivid account contrasts the San Francisco Democratic gathering with the Republican powwow, praising Wilson's dominance. Bryan and Cochran fail to shift the platform, which remains aligned with Wilsonism and calls for silence on prohibition. The piece lauds Wilson’s iron will and the rally’s dramatic pageantry as evidence of his enduring influence.
Herbert Hadley former Missouri governor and law professor outlines a history of trading Missouri’s national convention delegations for money. He cites 1908 Fairbanks funds 15000 dollars, 1912 Roosevelt Taft split with fifty thousand, and recent efforts to sell to Governor Lowden. He argues a code of ethics dictates deference to Missouri political customs and insiders’ rewards.
Prof. A. R. Bauder of the University of Alabama claims a new electrical divining rod will reveal oil existence and pool limits, and indicate deposit depth. He has applied for patents on the contrivance and suggests it could end wildcat oil swindles if proven reliable.
Tom Marshall in San Francisco suggests drafting a party platform on a postcard with a single good man to carry it. He argues voters will summarize the leading principles, criticizing current shotgun-style resolutions that scatter on many issues in hopes of a broad win.
A Bay Area commentary questions a Wilson renomination and notes voters’ aversion to a third term. It observes delegates at the San Francisco convention leaning toward endorsement but opposing a run for another term. The piece mocks prohibition politics, speakeasies, Volstead impacts, and dry sentiment, while lampooning Ohio hay forecasts and Harding lawn quips.
A montage of quotes notes Senator C H Williams handling publicity and pardons, warns Montana residents to stock coal, praises unions resisting I W W influence, cites Japanese exclusion debate urged by Governor Stephens, and comments on Chicago gang violence and safety in the Windy City.
Billings Gazette argues that growing cities must foster real sociability for families, while The Missoulian asserts the heart of America beats in small towns, where patriotism and authentic Americanism thrive amid a slower pace and genuine community life.
A writer argues the core issue is loving children and knowing teaching, not a teacher's marital status. She emphasizes teachers must understand and nurture students, recalling a child driven from home by a drunken father to illustrate the stakes for pupils’ welfare.
