The writer gently mocks the 1912 Oregon political scene, praising Democrats and lampooning Republicans. He lauds Barrett as leader, references McComas and Newt, and imagines future reconciliations while urging peace, forgiveness, and civility in Umatilla County politics. The piece concludes with a New Year 1912 toast and sign-off by Will M Peterson, Obsstream.
