A political notice praising Democrat Meredith as a practical, businesslike candidate who stands by his convictions. It argues he will speak plainly, deliver clear statewide messages, and seeks to appeal across party lines despite Harding’s influence.
In a talk at the Commercial club, Hon E T Meredith claims President Wilson originated the federal reserve act and tariff commission plan, while a local writer asserts the act and plan were Republican initiatives and that Wilson opposed the tariff idea until conceding a low tariff policy was necessary.
In a cautious note the group endorses practical, businesslike discussion on road issues at the upcoming T. O. O. F gathering, suggesting a calm, organized approach to local transportation matters.
A series of short notices mentions Frank Nebe visiting Omaha, Frank Chapman taking a job at Joyce Lumber yard, cC A Kaufman visiting Griswold on business, Miss Mary Roberts returning from Odebolt to teach, Miss Ethel Hedges coming home for the summer, Mrs. Handy hosting a M E church society meeting, Fred Roush leaving for Carson to join his parents, Mrs. Frank Miller of Creston and Mrs. Henry Miller of Cumberland visiting, and H J Wayward and son Oliver departing Jegan Michigan for Idaho Falls to visit Arthur Hayward.
In 1913 the Highway Commission lacked a permanent bridge. Cerro Gordo County plans full masonry bridges within five years and stresses maintenance for century-lasting structures. Harrison and Shelby counties show heavy past repair costs and flood damage. Meredith advocates revenue anticipation, bond issuance, and graveling to expand the road system, citing Lincoln Highway tests and state gravel deposits across 70 counties. Greene County leads in graveled roads, illustrating regional progress and plans for broader county roads.
A speaker argues for financing county gravel roads by bonds over 23 years, using existing road funds and maintenance at 100 per mile per year. He notes costs average 1100 to 2500 dollars per mile and warns some counties lack revenue for bridges, urging a phased, voteable plan for those who benefit directly.
