Princeton Social Circles and Democratic Convention Debate
Local notes from Princeton cover social visits, travels, and illnesses with many residents visiting Bluefield, Huntington, and Roanoke. The text then shifts to a Democratic National Convention in New York City where debates over naming the Ku Klux Klan and anti Klan planks unfold among Senators Owen Pattengall Morrison and other leaders amid protests and calls for religious liberty. The report ends with a Chicago boating accident: sixteen year old Helen Francis drowns in Lake Michigan while retrieving her hat.
