Democracy as a guiding principle and the three mile limit debates
The Corunna Headlight quotes William Allen praising democracy as a fearless humane force upholding liberty and equality. It cites Chicago News and Toronto Mail on Canada’s seizure of a schooner near Alaska, three mile limits, and U.S. reactions. It also references editorials from Philadelphia and Omaha on Missouri politics and the “bloody shirt” earthquake metaphor.
