The piece surveys candidates for governor, congress, and state senate in Iowa. It highlights E T Meredith as the Democrat, and Republican contenders Colgan, Joe Allen, Harding, and Carl F Kuehnle with Kuehnle suggested as a possible compromise. Chris Ottosen contends in the Tenth District, while four candidates seek the state senate seat including H L Wildey. The Times urges economy and efficiency and endorses Wildey for state senator, plus notes brief Republican and Democratic slates for representative.
The piece outlines county and precinct campaign dynamics with candidates in sheriff and supervisor contests, noting Democratic and Republican selections.

A breezy, promotional note from Wildey’s Cash Store touts discounts on lawn mowers, doors, plows, cocoa, batteries, and mattresses, claims economy from recent laws, mocks political explanations, and invites customers to shop for Sunshine Cookies, automobile oil, Fisk tires, and fishing gear.
