It argues the new election commission skews party power, contrasting it with fair representation under the old system and praising Maury County’s three commissioners Kannon, Brooks, and Courtney as honest, principled leaders.
The piece argues that high interest rates and tight money are global, not state specific, citing Berlin and Paris against New York. It warns against blaming Gov. Hooper for a condition caused by market forces, attacks political opportunism, and condemns legislative corruption and cruel responses to distress.

Hooper.
