The piece notes a bipartisan bill to repeal wartime powers died as President Wilson refused to sign. It argues Congress moved to demobilize idle agencies while Wilson held back treaty ratification and emergency authority, accusing him of blocking domestic and international peace moves.
The piece argues that backroom deals and opposition to General Wood dominate pre convention activity. It claims Wood has the widest primary support, with the most instructed and uninstructed delegates, and is the legitimate heir of Roosevelt's policies. It warns that corrupt tactics and manufactured lobby opinion threaten the party and urges New York leaders to take decisive action.
The Chief Obstructor President Wilson sent Congress a message vetoing the Federal budget bill. He used pocket vetoes on two other measures including the water power bill and the repeal of part of emergency war legislation. The vetoes are criticized as sacrificing nonpartisan laws. The budget bill had a minor executive power issue that could be fixed later. The water power bill followed years of Congressional compromise.
The Supreme Court rules decisively that the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act are valid and enforceable across the United States. It rejects state objections, asserts Congress's broad power to enforce prohibition, and says concurrent state power cannot undermine national law.
The article reports on Samuel Gompers' response to Governor Allen’s face to face question about public rights during strikes that affect production and distribution. Gompers concedes public rights exist but argues strikes rarely threaten public peace or health, a stance many doubt given recent industrial history.
The text questions who holds supremacy in strikes relating to public peace and health. It critiques Gompers for avoiding a direct answer and asserts the public has no rights above a worker’s right to live and defend against oppression. It cites Kansas coal miners and Governor Allen’s tough public-right stance as decisive.
In Chicago Johnson fences with critics over treaty stance. He votes aye with reservations in the Senate after holding a no position, prompting congratulations. A poster questions his past radical label, noting big California business figures now praise his conservatism led by Herbert Fleishhacker of a major bank. A rumor links Pussyfoot Johnson to the figure in Britain news.
The Teschen dispute between Poles and Czechs hinges on a plebiscite delayed by the Supreme Council. Ethnographic Polish claims clash with historic and economic Czech arguments, with roughly three quarters of the province likely to Poland and Oderberg to Czech. A timely vote with strong Allied presence could curb rising tensions and reinforce peace in Central Europe.
A long letter argues why the phrase Anybody to beat Wood echoes Roosevelt era politics and urges independence if a sanctionary candidate is nominated. It mixes editorials on Chicago prices, naval jokes, and social notes with notes about presidential dispatches and journalistic commentary. It cites Horace and Meadville reports, ends with reflections on political reporters in Chicago.
Frank Avery Skilton of Auburn New York writes to commend an editorial urging General Wood as the Republican candidate. He argues voters are independent of party leaders and warns politicians to heed popular will, predicting a November surprise if not conceded. Dated June 6 1920.
A 1920 letter to the editor argues for a presidential candidate who upholds duty and unity, condemning partisan brinkmanship while contrasting phrases with biblical platitudes.

Nitti’s return highlights Italy’s fragile parliamentary divide between Socialists and Clericals with conservatives on the right. His moderation contrasts with the stark opposition from Bolshevik-tending factions over Russia, Fiume, and Adriatic policy. Greek-Italian tensions ease as Nitti supports Hellenic rights in Epirus.
Analyzes Nitti's cautious path after Paris and Rome's postwar burden. Italy's $4 billion external debt to the U.S. and Britain, limited gains from Trieste and Fiume, and the risk of drifting toward Germany if France wields influence. Britain's support helps prestige but not debt relief. Domestic pressures threaten Nitti amid shifting European power.
