Public dissent and imperial sympathy in turn of the century letters
A mixed column laments King Edward VII’s illness and postponed coronation, extends sympathy to England, and mirrors American distress. It notes Kansas harvest labor woes, a humorous pork reform proposal, and critiques Grover Cleveland Bryanism and Democratic elites as multi millionaire backers of the “poor man’s party.”

Kennedy Will Skip Stark County Congressional Primary
James Kennedy, a Republican candidate for Congress in Mahoning County, will not have his name on Stark County’s primary ticket. He studied the Stark County situation and decided to refrain from entering the Stark County race. A Youngstown man noted the Stark County executive committee misunderstood resolutions, thinking $750 entry costs were required, while officials aimed only to cover primary expenses and refund any surplus to candidates.

The PIOWIO Dinner Lunchbox Tips and Tricks

Willis law will stand in Ohio excise ruling
The Ohio supreme court declared the Willis excise law constitutional and refused an injunction to stop the secretary of state from paying $100,000 collected under the statute into the state treasury. The decision aligns with expectations, and no immediate federal appeal is anticipated as the proper avenues for such an appeal were not pursued. The same term also held that railroad rolling stock must be apportioned to counties by miles of track, affecting tax allocations for the Cleveland and Pittsburgh line.
