McKean Democrat reports on local politics and moral tone
The paper notes Austin E. McCollough of Lancaster backed by John A. McSparran as Democratic State chairman in Harrisburg. It critiques Republican tensions in McKean and Kane counties, cites Gifford Pinchot’s costly governor bid, and questions GOP loyalty factors, urging voters to judge candidates by policy over liquor divides. It also mocks Prohibition era debates and previews church commission moves on the Ten Commandments.
