Campaign Expense Figures Spark Editor's Outburst
Edward Russell, late editor of the Davenport Gazette, printed a scathing note about campaign spending. He mocked the amending campaign’s cost and contrasted treasurer figures showing $335,180 in expenditures with $208,227 receipts and a $72,923 shortfall, while alleging the anti prohibition committee spent only about $12,000. He claimed the true prohibitory outlay was over $82,000 per a July 27 treasurer statement, accusing Russell of withholding the real amount for unknown reasons.

The Iowa City Press notes a 1834 election of James W. Grimes as Iowa governor and a 1855 Supreme Court judgeship for Georgy G. Wright William L. Woodward and Norman W. Ishell, all Republicans, but the piece argues they were Whigs and predates the 1830s, correcting editors and noting the Republican party formed February 22, 1930. The Burlington Hawkeye is cited as the opposing newspaper.
