In a caustic Chicago Tribune style piece, L. Y. Sherman seeks the U S Senate seat amid accusations of graft and a hostile press. The column rails at Lane Tech abuses, payroll corruption, and the influence of powerful editors while deriding Sherman as a weak candidate. It also attacks political machines, the Sulzer affair, and city patronage schemes.
A public polemic attacks Chicago water policy and a reform agenda. It argues the water department is run for graft, denounces water meters as a burden on the poor, calls for state control of the system, and cites comparisons with New York and Liverpool while urging pumping stations and nonpartisan management.
A letter argues the Wilson administration will not tolerate the current rotten postal service in Garfield Park Chicago while praising continuous newspaper attention to issues. It compares weekly coverage to billboard advertising and notes broad access to telephone service in Sweden with annual costs.
