The News Telegraph recalls an Yepgard article citing a former Farm Bureau president, arguing Hoover aided farmers during WWI by promoting wheat profitability and stable prices. It rebuts charges from farm groups, noting Hoover influenced price supports and kept wheat from speculative loss, with debates over 2.20 a bushel as a minimum, not a maximum. The piece urges readers to avoid snap judgments and predicts farmers will see Hoover as a friend.
In Cass County the Democratic committee reopens debate after official notices from Attorney General and Secretary of State denying Zellmer’s placement on the state representative ticket. Chairman G G Jeck hints at seeking further opinion as Zellmer contemplates independent or write-in campaign while the party remains bound by primary law.
The text references an attorney named Towa and a rotary of state, with unclear dialogue about actions a person named Jegk might take.

Champion Gene Tunney clashes with Tex Rickard over travel to New York for his bout with Tom Heeney.

Observers note his independent stance challenges prize ring norms as Thursday’s weigh-in approaches.
A commentary questions the long gap between election day and presidential inauguration arguing the notice and ceremony are outdated. It suggests modern travel makes the March 4 date unnecessary and proposes candidates could declare policies to the nominating convention or assume office on January 1. It warns of potential political awkwardness if the process remains unchanged.
The article mocks gimmicks in political campaigns and mocks both Al Smith and Herbert Hoover for using or avoiding boloney antics. It notes claims about a photographer staging stunts and Hoover declining to kiss a baby, arguing both candidates should avoid counterfeit showmanship and run on genuine substance.

The piece critiques district judge candidates and Republican leaders in the Ninth District, noting suspected political pressure and broken presumptions after Vincent’s nomination. It laments shifting loyalties, mocks the party’s internal dynamics, and urges the party to test its delegates while noting long-standing Republican service.
Iowa editorials from Marshalltown Times-Republican Sioux City Journal and Des Moines Register critique the republican platform and Hoover farm program.
