The Sunday Post urges last minute registration for Boston voters, noting election commissioners will operate until 10 pm to place names on rolls. It stresses voting power in the Commonwealth, personal duty, and asks residents to register now to ensure full civic rights and a strong city presence at Beacon Hill.
The column discusses the Manchurian conflict and external intervention, with quotes from Count Hayashi and Count Cassini. It shifts to local notices: Hurtubis to reside at 219 Newbury Street, Al Sheehan touring with Nance O Neill, Wagner fans, a Wakefield pear tree bloom, a second raspberry crop in Bellevue Park, Sacred Heart parish monument plans in Malden, Chief Gowen's hand injury, Mayor Chandler’s Maine hunting trip, Somerville building slowdown, Father Frawley visiting Roxbury, Bishop Coleman’s reputation, Old North Church open days, and a Cambridge cat and squirrel chase ending in comic frustration.
The piece argues against claims that trusts pledged campaign funds to Roosevelt and Cortelyou denies any bargains. It cites the Wall Street Journal denying threats or pledges and recalls a folk tale about Davy Crockett to frame the debate on trust influence and political funding.
A fragmentary passage notes a character addressing a colonel with restraint, while asserting that the trusts have "come down." The text centers on a mythic coon figure declaring willingness to descend despite a threat, highlighting a shift in trust power without additional detail.
Judge Parker insists the Philippines have cost Americans 650 million up to date, while Roosevelt allies and Taft dispute the figure. Taft cites 200 million, Roosevelt friends quibble, and critics blame extended subjugation and salaries. The ledger shows rising defense and empire expenses post Spanish War.
Enthusiasm rises as a mass meeting aims to ratify Democratic nominations for the election. The Massachusetts Democracy rallies statewide under strong issues and a lively ticket led by Douglas and Crosby at home with Parker and Davis in the national arena, signaling a growing, winnable cause.
A narrator recounts falling into a deep sleep at about 10 am waking to discover a missing slat in his body. He imagines rib removal during construction and warns against further tampering. Later, at dusk, a voice calls behind him as he boils bananas but no one is seen.
A fragment lists garments and accessories including petticoats skirts chemises drawers and corset covers with fine trimmings. Prices shown range from 69 cents to 2.50, indicating a mid century sale listing for ladies’ foundation wear and undergarments.
In a Cape Cod fishing village, old Skipper Churchill and Mirinda discover a brass graphophone sending their daughter Betty’s voice from a distant city. The recording, a serenade to a humble home, reveals Betty as a promising contralto speaking to her aging parents rather than to a grand audience.
