Political Wrangling and Draft Debate Plague Eaton County
The Eaton County scene features A. E. Preston and C. D. Holmes labeled as renegades on the National ticket, amid accusations of voting for reduced pay, endorsing a flawed equalization report, and approving a high janitor salary.

A veteran soldier appeal condemns Canada draft sympathizers, and a Constantinople dispatch warns of depreciating paper money amid a weary finance commission.
