Democrats Renominate Atwater Leader As Unified City Ticket

Preservation of democracy urged by Lloyd George

In Chicago on October 14 Associated Press reports that five years after World War I democracy faces a global autocratic wave. Former British Prime Minister Lloyd George warned democracy is periled yet resilient, citing Britain, France, and the United States as guardians against dictatorships sweeping through Germany, Italy, Spain, and Bulgaria. He said democratic institutions train citizens to sacrifice for freedom, and that Britain and France would stand with the United States to resist autocracy. The piece shifts to local politics, detailing party nominations and platform talks at a convention with Archibald McNeil and others outlining candidates for city offices and committees. The report ends with a coroner’s note on a separate accident death near Castle Bridge.
