Billy Sunday Philadelphia Campaign Ends with Massive Farewell
Billy Sunday wrapped up a Philadelphia campaign with more than forty four thousand conversions. At the depot Sunday night crowds of about thirty five thousand sang hymns and cheered as he spoke from the train steps. He praised Philadelphia as a City of Brotherly Love and projected a Baltimore stop in 1916. The Salisbury Advertiser urges voters to embrace direct primaries and civic responsibility, urging informed choices on four Maryland Constitutional Amendments to be voted on in November, covering referendum, Baltimore home rule, property taxation, and sentencing reforms.

U.S. Department of Agriculture data compare 1913 to 1909, noting that while acre values for crops rose, their buying power lagged. An acre of wheat buys fewer pounds of lard and yards of calico, and an acre of cotton buys fewer hoes, signaling higher costs in distribution and marketing. The piece argues farmers and city consumers pay too much for handling and retailing, not just price levels.
