It mentions Washington payrolls and party dynamics in vague terms.
The piece notes Howatt’s stance against Governor Allen in Leavenworth and criticizes a Democratic rally speaker in Lawrence for denouncing the U S press while backing a journalist as president. It highlights Bourbon county dairy profits, Fort Scott milk premiums, and a broad price stability with higher white paper costs in 1921. It also mentions rising labor efficiency and cautious business expectations about price levels.
