The Herald discusses how political advertising is used to sell candidates and their organizations to voters. It notes newspapers may express editorial opinions on political or social questions despite advertisers' messages and urges readers to understand the display ads as persuasive.
A fiery call questions whether patriotism is dead in Illinois as voters prepare for the Republican gubernatorial primary. The piece names Len Small, Chicago power, and Benjamin Thompson with wartime loyalties, urging voters to reject the “gang” backing Small and uphold wartime sacrifice and Republican ideals. It invokes figures like Grant, Logan, and Yates to mobilize support.
The piece argues that Republicans split between allying with Thompson and Small while Joe Cannon vacillates on the platform. It contends Chicago backing shapes Small and laments Cannon's two faced stance, predicting voter loss to Dr. Coolley.
An obituary reflects on James Wilson who died in Iowa and championed government focus on production and economic welfare. It credits his push for durum wheat and other advances, noting his belief that government should stimulate production over routine political battles.
The piece notes 11,000,000 farms still for sale at moderate figures amid freight car shortages and energy gaps. It contrasts automobile ownership with envy of wealth and warns against viewing richness as disgrace while aiming to move goods along.
