It notes party fractures, accusations of bias toward Republican influences, and a wait for an eventual candidate lineup. The piece ends with humorous asides about streetcar cigars and dust.
A column argues voting machines are not yet safe or honest and warns against spending $100,000 until invention improves. It cites doctored counters showing inflated votes and urges thorough testing of all machines, noting political risk and urging cautious progress. It also mentions Belgian industrial decorations rewarding long service in factories.
