Outlook for 1912 Democratic ascendancy and Republican disarray
Irvin Pepper of Taxa assesses the 1912 political landscape. He argues the Democratic House is productive and disciplined under Speaker Clark, while Republicans split between old guard and La Follette insurgents, risking a strong Democratic campaign in 1912. Pepper cites investigations into trusts and industrial power as a key Democratic strength.

Pastor Edson and Miss Abbey Leave Church Amid Scandal
In New York, Rev J Clement Edson, 35, pastor at the Long Street Presbyterian Church, and Miss Gertrude Abbey, 20, living at No 87 Yrehald Street, vanished together after rumors of an affair. Elders confronted Edson, who would not explain. Mrs Elizabeth Campbell cried as the pastor packed and left. Miss Abbey left with no stated destination, seeking relief from the pastorate’s turmoil. The congregation learned of the departure as Dr Bosworth opened services late, while the church prepared to report to the Presbytery and seek Edson’s resignation.
