The speaker demands to know how many farmers have fulfilled even one pledge from Brookhart's 2 year old Senate campaign. He argues a man should achieve something beyond making noise and drawing a salary during that period.

In the Iowa race for United States senator, Burton Sweet leads over Brookhart as Republicans organize to boost Sweet and deter Brookhart. Dr. Porterfield reports state support for Sweet, while Brookhart is criticized for anti Republican voting and comments on Russia.

It covers timing, procession order, wall displays, multiple flags, window arrangements, half mast procedures, and proper handling at ceremonies and funerals, concluding with respectful disposal of worn flags.
A satirical note on a politician singing old hymns with new words. The piece casts the politician as confident of gaining everything while risking nothing, likening the public to an unsuspecting audience swayed by blue sky rhetoric. It contrasts such boasts with distrust of John the Baptist.
The text states Brookhart refused to give allegiance to the Republican party or its leadership during his short Senate tenure. It notes he was nominated and elected as a Republican under Iowa's primary law, but did not receive consideration or support from party leaders or presidents Harding and Coolidge.
The Guthrian notes Brookhart faces a June 2 Iowa state primary with a potential record on the MeNery Haugen bill. Farmers back it while Union laborers and the Homestead oppose. Backers fear voting against farmers could cost Brookhart the primary.
