Lawrence meeting notices list state and county officials and campaign calls urging support for George J. Barker for State Senator. The text mixes endorsements, rival arguments, and old political excerpts urging voters to back Barker or oppose Char Robinson, with references to Prohibition stances and historical figures.
A fiery critique attacks Gov. Robinson’s stance on law and conscience in a Missouri race. The author likens his views on prohibition to a dangerous juror mindset and accuses Robinson of aiding unlawful railroading and Qua ntrill raid claims. George J. Barker is urged as the Republican alternative.
The Labor Standard, a workingmen’s journal, cites an 1880 Maine interview between New England Ten Hour League representatives and James G. Blaine. It argues Blaine favors shorter hours while Cleveland supports longer ones, claiming this split defines labor support and votes against a candidate hostile to labor hour reduction. The piece rails against political mudslinging and notes Indiana politics and Republican figures amid a murky scramble.
