Predecessors The Delphi Times and Carroll County Citizen trace their roots to 1848 and 1892 respectively and consolidate into The Delphi Citizen in 1924, marking a major local newspaper evolution in Delphi.
The Delphi Journal outlines how landowners across Carroll County and the Midwest face steep declines in real estate values, widespread foreclosures, and mortgage burdens held by insurers. Economists warn the region endures the last acute stage of rural hardship, urging voters to back the Republican ticket in November.
The piece argues Senator Borah overstates the value of returning Sinclair’s $260,000 to the Republican National Committee. It claims the party bought the presidency twice since 1920 and that restitution would merely return funds to the donors. It notes Borah’s 1920 resolution on campaign expenditures and criticizes leaders like Wood and Lowden for their wealth influenced spending.
The speaker warns that preventing further horse theft is unlikely and argues the same old fence will fail to deter criminals. The remark reflects ongoing concerns about animal theft and insufficient security at the property.
The piece criticizes Col. Solon J. Carter for supporting a Republican candidate while urging broad public action to avert Stephensonism in Indiana. It urges people to act as Lincoln and Van Buren did, backing the people over rigid party loyalty in the Indiana political crisis.
A Benton County Review letter argues the Interstate Commerce Commission oversteps by blocking railroads coal transport to the lake route for the northwest. It warns the nation, from the south to Indiana, resents economic coercion and political shifts toward centralized control, linking it to Mussolini era dicta and party pressures.
A report notes the Republican National Chairman proposed no report of campaign funds to the Democratic National Chairman. It questions whether the Democratic Chairman agreed, but no record confirms any agreement.
In a lengthy remark the writer notes how long it has been since calls for a tariff on wheat to curb Canadian imports. They question which Canadian wheat grower would ship to an American city when Winnipeg price levels are high.
In his talks about reducing taxes Senator Watson misreads the issue noting that the high tariff he supports functions as a tax. He frames tariff policy as economic strategy while critics argue it raises consumer costs and burdens.
A Washington letter accuses the Republican National Committee and President Coolidge of benefiting from Sinclair tied funds. It cites Hays testimony on Continental Trading Company profits and Teapot Dome deals, urging Coolidge to repudiate those involved and demand return of corrupt money. The piece notes Roosevelt's historical links to Teapot Dome.
The report notes a large field of Republican gubernatorial hopefuls in Indiana and suggests that despite heavy spending, a decisive landslide outcome could overshadow the campaign financing. The piece emphasizes the potential power of voter sentiment over dollars.
The note suggests replacing the term duty with tax in customs taxation phrasing. It argues tax is shorter and clearer for official records and emphasizes avoiding archaic wording in modern usage.
