The Monticello Express notes six states weigh bonds to widen roads and retire debt via auto and gas taxes, with Iowa proposing 60 million of a 100 million bond issue for county hard roads. It also previews national politics, stock trends, and safety concerns from traffic.
The text notes an irony as a dry Missouri senator is expected to succeed Jim Reed, who is described as wet, with both Democratic and Republican candidates presented as upholders of the same stance.
The message argues for state road bonds and criticizes county bonds, claiming no property tax will pay the bonds and that roads would improve in six years under state bonds versus sixteen with county bonds. It endorses Herbert Hoover over Gov. Smith for agriculture policies.
The piece portrays Mr. Smith as a bold and clever politician who promises all things to all voters. It accuses him of pushing temperance reform while advocating changes to the Volstead laws to appeal to supporters. The article suggests Republicans are kept busy countering his deceptive front ahead of the election.
Herbert Hoover shows superior intelligence and fitness over his opponent in a campaign claim. The piece notes opposing speeches in Kentucky and Boston to argue radio influence favors Hoover.
The Atlantic News Telegraph revises its view of Senator Reed calling him not a statesman but a narrow old fashioned political figure. The piece suggests he may have lost some power and compares him to a fish woman dealing in voodoo tales and old wives' rumors.

Hoover holds 63 percent to Smith 38, with about 1 percent scattered, and leads in 42 of 44 states surveyed while several Southern states favor Smith. Hoover also leads in Wisconsin North Dakota Minnesota Montana Kentucky Maryland Oklahoma and Tennessee, with a comfortable plurality overall.
