The Middletown Journal, founded in 1857, announces Edwina Blackwell Clark as publisher and M. David Goodwin as editor with Michael Williams serving as editorial page editor.
The piece argues that State Issue 1 is a backward, divisive and vague amendment risking economic health and drives away young workers. It contends gay marriage is already illegal, votes to reject the measure, and urges focus on education, economy, and national policy rather than constitutional amendments. It cites Gov Taft and conservatives warning of ambiguity and harmful consequences.
A reader recounts repeated theft and bending of political yard signs after a presidential debate. The author frames the culprit as the Bender and notes irony as he redoubles campaign support and even offers party volunteers and phone lines, suggesting the theft may influence voters in Florida and Ohio.
Roger L. Miller notes Henry Howe’s Historical Collections of Ohio shaped state history after 1847, recounting Howe’s travels across Ohio, funding battles, and the 581 page first edition. It cites Middletown’s brief 1847 entry with Lebanon Street drawing and local early settlers.
Kerry slips behind Bush as base enthusiasm fades. A key factor is gay marriage splitting Democratic supporters, with minority groups and older voters pivotal. Daschle faces ads tying him to anti-marriage positions, stirring South Dakota debates and wider national implications ahead of November elections.
