The Lacrosse Tribune presents a worn detailed circulation report for August 1908. The document enumerates monthly circulation figures, distribution patterns, and readership metrics for the newspaper during that period.
The Tribune urges Houston county Republicans to back a progressive slate in the First district primary to replace Jim Tawney a noted Cannon ally. It cites Wisconsin fights against Cannonism highlighting Lenroot and Stafford and appeals to Minnesota Republicans to join Roosevelt era reformers facing Tawney who is said to ignore constituents and back corporate interests.
A terse note proposes that Mr. Tawney retire in the upcoming primary on the 15th, reflecting local political pressure and discussions about leadership changes.

He questions Cannon’s finances and long public service since 1861, noting extended tenure in Congress and salary concerns while urging frankness about earnings from selling wind and ink.
Willis J. Abbot responds to Raymond of the Chicago Tribune who accused Bryan of stealing the idea to guarantee bank deposits from China. He argues that origin is irrelevant if the proposal benefits U S depositors and notes broader historical parallels including China and Egypt.
The article details Speaker Cannon’s evasive responses to William Jennings Bryan’s questions about his wealth. It notes Cannon's quip about Bryan being worth certain sums and criticizes him for avoiding disclosure, arguing the public deserves clarity on a leader’s finances.
