State Ticket and Convention Talk Targeting Voters
The Columbus Herald lists a slate for state offices headed by John W. Kern and other candidates including capt. J C Lawler, Adam Heimberger, Jerome Herff, Chas P Drummond, Henry G Yergin, Chas A Greathouse, Edward Horuff, Geo L Reinhard, J W Adair, Allen Zollars, Nicholas Cornet, Carl E Wood, and Francis M Griffith for Congress. It notes the Democratic National Convention at Kansas City on July 4 and criticizes the administration over Cuban self government, entanglements, and a hostile vote climate. The piece calls for a city cleanup ahead of hundreds of visitors and criticizes the Indianapolis Journal for opposing a tariff on Porto Ricans.
Turning Back to the Revolution Era and Scalping Controversy
The piece cites Henry Cabot Lodge’s Life of Washington noting British raids by Tryon and others and condemns wartime brutality. It links Lodge to McKinley era alliances with nations that supplied scalp knives to Indians, and mentions Hamilton’s recapture of Port Vincennes and the Hairbuyer General. It questions Republican leaders and a supposed secret alliance.
