The notice reflects daily newspaper boilerplate and $ subscription rate references amid standard Associated Press affiliations and city printing details.
The piece analyzes Republican senate factions led by White Reynolds Highland and the eight holdouts. It weighs motives behind their strike as seeking governor support, protesting tax policy, or shaping party power, noting Democratic maneuvers and press praise while avoiding sensational rumors. It cites Gore Coffman dynamics and presses toward party reform without assigning definitive causes.
An editorial lashes at a Democratic action amid a state crisis, calling it patriotic public service that disrupted a well organized party caucus. It notes the only clear fact is Gore did not support Coffman, while condemning partisan rhetoric and urging acceptance of the Democrats’ moves.
Nick Longworth shows clear disapproval of the insurgent faction, expressing strong dissatisfaction with their actions and stance. The note underscores political friction and leadership backlash within party lines.
The church meeting opened at 2 o'clock noon with Rev. James Shera Montgomery delivering a prayer praising mercy and daily renewal. The prayers asked for deeper understanding of national needs and sympathy for workers, urging upright virtues through Jesus Christ. The text then notes a sugar company ready to resume dividends, but offers no further detail.
Italian American businessman Almerindo Portfolio of New York City, head of a cloak and suit firm, gave his entire business in fee simple to his long serving employees at the end of 1924. He appointed directors, outlined a plan, and departed abroad, praising practical philanthropy over mere profits. The piece also notes mixed views on Kellogg versus Harvey and a tongue in cheek aside about taxing bandits.
Flora Le Breton, formerly of London, stars in a Cinderella play on Broadway. Critics note the premiere drew lively ticket lines and mixed reactions from press and audience, with some disappointment at a fairy tale tone and stage execution.

It recalls stage figures like Eugene O'Neill and mentions a recent rise of drama and gossip, weaving through music, romance, and urban atmosphere as the narrator dreams of future performances and park outings.
The Charleston chapter of the American Association of Engineers hears a protest against Kanawha valley tent colonies. Carl Schulz and John Dickinson present a resolution urging the governor and state bodies to dismantle the camps as health and moral concerns and economic disruption are cited.

A 1925 Kanawha coal region report denounces tent colonies used by miners unions to intimidate new workers.
