A critical critique questions Brookhart’s four Senate years citing no relief bills for Iowa farmers, high Democratic voting alignment, and calls him a non-producer of results. The piece also notes broader political turbulence such as World Court opposition and local Des Moines matters. It mixes satire on hats and references to Anita girls and Cass County while recounting campaign strains and public notices.
A collage of political and social musings from a Des Moines era column, attacking Brookhart and Iowa agriculture, noting high farm prosperity contradicting claims of bust, while lampooning public figures, frost risk to corn, and wartime attitudes. The piece blends editorial quips with local references and partisan jabs.
The piece argues that U S membership in the World Court or League of Nations would reveal high taxes. It contends Uncle Sam would be named police commissioner and overseer, funded by the nation, with no one left to pay. It also jokes editors should attend school.
A long critical piece in Des Moines discussions accuses Brookhart of distorting facts to influence Iowa voters. It cites Howard J. Clark campaigning for Brookhart, debates on Russia, farming policy, and calls for independent inquiry. The column laments editor involvement and political manipulation ahead of 1928 primaries.
