Theodore Roosevelt lavishes praise on independent candidate John J. Blaine, labeling him progressive while critics warn the endorsement signals a blend of Kansas Populism and New York Bourbon strains. The piece questions Blaine's stance on Wilson and war policy, and notes weather and crops as tidbits amidst the political debate.
The piece discusses the Clayton omnibus trust bill's uncertain impact on labor and industry, contrasting it with the Sherman Act, and notes a new trade commission's potential to curb trusts. It also covers Taft's pardon decision, Morse fortune, and reflections on Wilson's presidency amid Washington politics and a marshland jog road dispute in Marshfield and Grand Rapids.
A reader defends the county road project along Rishfield Road near Marshfield, arguing the jog results from city and county work plans and a Cameron town crossing.
