The Nation as It Is The State As It Should Be
A speaker argues the Democratic party betrayed reform since 1892 and urges support for Jeffersonian Democracy. He critiques Parker and Bryan, names Wall Street ties, and calls for direct public voting powers, initiative and referendum, to curb corporate power and restore government by the people. The talk frames Roosevelt vs Parker as a path to reform through bold constitutional change.

Butler Dictatorship Tied to St Louis Dems in 25 Years
The piece alleges Col Ed Butler long controlled Missouri and St Louis Democratic machinery, ran election operations for labor and city, and held key posts while his son Jim sits on the 12th District state committee. It questions his influence over delegations and nominations to Folk and Walbridge, and accuses Butler’s Indians of registration fraud.
