Political skirmish over mortgage allegations in Iowa race
A Chicago Tribune special reports the Republican state central committee countering a Democratic scheme to flood Iowa with anonymous mortgage lists about Mr Shaw. The circular, sent to many regions, quotes Bible verses and falsely links Shaw to Usurious mortgages. Shaw’s firm holds no such debts, having loaned over 2 million to eastern investors and never foreclosed. The Republican response reproduces the circular in full across newspapers. The piece recalls a similar tactic against William Larrabee and notes the ongoing party struggle in the governor’s race.
