Fight for Aguinaldo by Maurice Thompson in Boston address
Indiana author Maurice Thompson, known for his national fame, argued against Aguinaldo and for loyalty to the U S flag. In Boston and later Crawfordsville, he urged Americans not to praise Aguinaldo over Washington, stating treason lies in opposing the flag and defending freedom through steadfast patriotism. He praised the bravery of those who fought for the country and warned that anyone aiding rebels harms liberty.

Evidence of Democratic incompetency in Indianapolis politics
A political letter argues that Indianapolis under Democratic mayor Tom Taggart and city attorney John W. Kern has depleted the treasury, issued 650000 in bonds, and relied on monthly borrowing. It contrasts Republican state governance, which reports debt reduction and bond payoffs, with alleged Democratic extravagance and public fund raids. The piece cites figures on state debt relief and bond payments, ending with a Bryan quotation from Knoxville, Tennessee.
