The piece argues that the current contest in England threatens the political framework and social structure, foreseeing potential upheaval not only to the House of Lords but also to the Anglican establishment and possibly the throne. It likens the stakes to the Long Parliament and frames the debate as deeply consequential.
A political rant argues Republicans air long abuse against Governor Butler while shielding their own candidates and record. It cites Boston Herald insults, slander, and a strategy of discrediting Butler through attacks on Clarke and insurance issues. The piece accuses Republicans of stoking slander to boost their ticket and calls for reform of Republican ethics in Massachusetts.
Governor Murray argues Utah should be effectively under martial law. He labels the Mormon church a conspirator against the government and says legal remedies are useless while the church grows. He warns of inevitable armed conflict if Mormon power is not weakened.
A second article from the same pen as in The Globe condemns the majority report of the Tewksbury committee. It accuses counsel of insinuating lies about Dupelay and of discrediting witnesses like Mr and Mrs Barker. The piece argues testimony was vilified and reputations damaged by insinuation and biased argument.
The Massachusetts Supreme Court defines a public bar in Commonwealth vs Roarks, Berkshire County. A public bar exists where liquor is sold to be consumed on premises by customers not ordering meals, clarifying that a lunch counter for meals is not a bar. The ruling signals near prohibition and prompts Law and Order League action and potential legislative debate.
Those directly affected see that until the law is changed facilities for providing meals are needed to keep licenses protected under the law. The grave mistake may be rectified to align with official intent.
