The Intelligencer notes that Duck hunting is fine and Thanksgiving services await, while commenting on Democratic politics and local figures like Stone, Ball, Painter, and Gmelich. It hints at Missouri football hopes dimming and mentions China and Prince Chun, with remarks on ongoing vote counts and uncertainty.
The piece cites Missouri Democrats on David Francis as a candidate and notes William Jennings Bryan suggesting a future run. It mocks repeated engagement rumors involving Abram and Elkins and ends by preferring a wedding to further rumors.
Dr. Woods leads the National Bank of Commerce in Kansas City. The bank closed last year after remaining financially sound, drawing renewed interest from small bankers in the South and White Ape regions.
Reckless, malicious talk linked to W A Rose sparked upheaval as the Ridgelys seized control. They ousted the old force, then Woods regained authority. With Woods back in charge, the bank’s standing, built by decades of effort, has improved and the public trusts his leadership again.
The observer notes a recent incident where a Black man attempted to assault a girl in Kansas City and was killed. The writer complains newspapers give wide coverage to this case and contrasts it with a later successful assault elsewhere. He urges city dailies to treat assaults like libel suits in reporting.
The piece argues Herbert S Hadley could be a good Missouri governor if he keeps promises on non partisan city police and road improvement. It warns that his race based appointments may rise concern, noting Kansas City support for Negro officeholders and hoping Lexington avoids such appointees.
The Initiative and Referendum amendment passed Missouri by 30942 votes amid arguments it may fail or succeed. Critics cite red tape and costs for petitioning and election logistics, while supporters expect broad acceptance from Democrats and some Republicans.
