Returning to Michigan Reflects on Taxes and Elections
The letter from W. Conrad of Mount Clemens, Michigan dated October 5, 1922, describes plans to return home soon and notes the country’s sights. He urges restraint on profanity and party prejudice, calls for action over votes, and discusses Michigan's tax and tariff issues, Fordney Tariff and Newberryism, and hopes for Republican support in the Senate. He mentions election fervor and a push to “turn the rascals” out, urging readers to vote Nov. 7 and to consider conscience over party.
