A column mocks a New York divorce suit over cocktails while offering home life advice. It extols front door hardware and house fittings to improve appearance and security, claiming modern styles keep a home looking attractive and respectable.
Upcoming civic events include a District Court session on September 22 and a Carnival and Fall Festival from October 19 to 24. The General Election is slated for November 3.
The News reviews intra party questions about reimbursements and notes shifting electoral votes. It discusses figures like Foraker Bryan Hearst and Haskell, and outlines doubtful states and the balance of power in the 1908 presidential race with a New York focus.
The piece outlines how adding doubtful states would raise electors from 116 to 207, with Republicans and Democrats clashing over key states. It notes nine states to watch, mentions Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, California, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Ohio and Oregon, and discusses shifts in congressional districts and regional trends impacting party strength. It highlights Ohio as a focal point due to past margins and ongoing intra-party feuds.
The analysis notes Rhode Island North Dakota and Oregon with Democratic governors are unreliable for Taft, while New York remains pivotal. Even the most confident Bryan backers concede only cautious optimism. Taft supporters fear losing several states by margins not less than 50,000 votes.
A Guthrie report by Governor Haskell through Roy Oakes cites a $4 509 221 45 rise in Oklahoma bank deposits since the guarantee law took effect, Feb 4, and a $600 807 87 drop in unsecured banks from Feb 14 to May 14. Critics note external cash coming from Washington and state funds winding through county loans and warrants, arguing the gains are overstated and banks outside the guarantee law benefited. The banking board has pressured unsecured banks to withdraw state funds, prompting some national banks to convert to state charters, a move cited by critics as a manipulation of the system.
