A store feature reflects on taste for inventions and the rising interest in aeroplanes and flight. The narrator jokes about customers and orders as business hums at a Waterville shop and announces a new batch of pocket knives scissors and shears with unconditional guarantees.
The piece questions Mr Bryan’s honesty and idealism amid revelations about his choice of Haskell as finance chair and associations with Standard Oil. It ponders whether Bryan has abandoned trusted principles for presidential aims and whether he can clear himself of corruption suspicions.
The article argues that while the man’s strength and greatness are clear, suspicion toward him would be a grave blow. Losing his personal esteem and the trust of the nation would be far worse than losing the presidency, in the view of the author.
A recent Telegraph editorial is criticized for pushing Republicans toward Meredith while lampooning Democrats and Congressman Smith. The piece lauds Smith as a strong, reform-minded Republican aligned with Roosevelt and Taft, arguing the House must remain Republican to control revenue and tariff legislation. It condemns Meredith backers as obtrusive and labels the Telegraph as biased, urging unity for party victory without personal vendettas.
The Atlantic Telegraph urges county Republicans and their papers to back the legislative ticket. It pledges support for Walter I. Smith for Congress 2 Massena Keho while criticizing Bryan over national expenditures. It questions how “Boss Alu phy” and associates would spend large sums in the national treasury, labeling Democratic economy as hypocritical.
In Chicago Taft defends his labor stance and accuses William Jennings Bryan of economic failure. He says he favors giving labor a square deal, warns against reforms that could close factories, and urges voters to reject Bryan to restore confidence and business stability.
The Des Moines Capital quotes the New York World praising Republican handling of the Sherman anti trust law and rebuking Democratic claims. It cites four key points about enforcement, executive action, and court rulings, urging voters to compare party records rather than slogans. The note ends by hinting at political shifts ahead.
A charged political letter denounces Governor Haskell as unfit for public trust and urges support for Taft over Bryan. It links corporate abuses to national issues and argues Taft’s deeds prove his fitness, urging right minded citizens to back Taft for moral and material prosperity.
The platform proposes forcing all national banks to guarantee other banks deposits, a move the author calls a financial nostrum that would crush legitimate business by imposing the risks of speculation on depositors. It argues deposits reflect simple loans, explain banking reliability, and warns that guaranteeing debts would invite untrustworthy operators to start banks, lowering standards and shifting losses onto stockholders.
The text argues against socialized banking profits shifting losses and endorses private bank deposits as secure for business people. It notes wage earners and small savers in savings banks enjoy safety and good interest, and proposes a Government backed postal savings system to guarantee deposits while keeping the money under public control.
The Chicago Tribune reports a Muskogee Oklahoma meeting of the Citizens' Alliance where Haskell introduced a resolution. The article argues the alliance aimed to oust organized labor, presenting contemporaneous evidence that Haskell was an opponent of labor at the time.
At the start of Bryan’s campaign he gathered many supporters but now only Boss Murphy Fingy Connners and Tom Taggart remain as the notable backers of the “common peepul.” A political remnant sale is suggested at the Bryan second hand store.
The record of Haskell's actions before heading to Oklahoma suggests no burning drive to serve the public. He sold an account he held against the steel trust for 50,000 dollars for work aiding the organization of that trust.
Bryan appointed Haskell treasurer for the national Democratic Committee. The note implies Bryan is not a strong judge of fiscal policy.
The remark suggests Bryan believed the letter to Theodore Roosevelt was not loaded with malice or purpose, expressing a cautious interpretation of the exchange. It highlights a cautious stance in a politically charged moment without asserting deliberate deception or intent.
The Alfalfa Bills of Oklahoma who rose to prominence in Denver fade from public view as their notoriety wanes and they drift from attention.
