Readers in Elkhart are reminded of 1908 campaigns with Taft and Bryan, praise for the Middlebury Independent on local option, and calls to elect Taft allied candidates. The piece notes Republican prospects, Democratic platform critiques, and parallels farm prosperity with steady manufacturing like Oliver plow works, while warning against Democratic policy changes.
A 1892 Bryan speech, cited by Omaha World Herald, condemns pensions as a debt owed to soldiers and questions patriotism of the Grand Army of the Republic. The piece portrays Bryan as hostile to veterans and questions whether future generations will bear such debt, noting questions of change in view.
A terse editorial attacks Samuel Gompers and his stance in the ongoing campaign, labeling his attitude as hostile to reform and urging voters to reject his leadership in favor of stricter labor policies. The piece argues for accountability and a shift in labor movement direction.
The Labor World commends President Lewis of the United Mine Workers as an honorable contrast to Gompers. The open letter notes UMW members include prohibitionists populists independents socialists Democrats and Republicans and urges wage workers to vote with independent judgment. It condemns partisan activity in the labor movement and warns against pushing labor to Bryan, urging workers to learn about Bryan and his ties to foes of organized labor before voting.
United Mine Workers President T L Lewis issues a circular stating the union will not influence members votes. He explains he will not express political views or advise for any candidate, urging members to vote according to their own judgment. He notes the union’s long existence and a diverse membership across political beliefs and nationalities.
The piece dismisses the myth of a returning star like the biblical star. It identifies Venus and Jupiter as bright eastern bodies, explains their orbits and appearances, and notes their relative distances, albedo, and oppositions. It also mentions a Congregational church supper and the death of Emanuel R. Wraase, age eighty eight.
