The Machines in the South and The Mysterious Man
Ex Senator Bruce of Mississippi denies speaking for General Chalmers in the South. He says he travels at Republican leaders’ invitation to defend party principles, not to promote Chalmers. Other Republicans discuss straight party delegates and administration strategy in southern states ahead of the next convention. A separate dispatch reports Pat Dunkle, the alleged fourth Kewanee bank robber, captured near Battle Mount Montana with $1500 recovered. Dunkle, twenty five, once trusted Des Moines salesman, is said to have a $4000 share. A Chicago meat-trade note says Chicago meat shipments to Eastern cities will expand, with demand from Baltimore to Washington continuing as Western exports grow.
