A political column critiques Democratic contrasts between McAdoo and Davis, notes Pierpont Morgan and Wall Street influence, and mocks high price debates. It rails at demagogues and calls for honest local editor stance while lampooning politics and travel signs in a final quip about a crooked senate.
In Polk county the fight over county attorney candidates echoed past clashes with Democrats attacking officials tied to corporations. The current campaign parallels earlier eras as John W. Davis leaves JP Morgan affairs to pursue the presidency while William Jennings Bryan clings to a Wall Street critique, up to the Democratic nomination.
Political pointers suggest Bryan may aid Davis in Nebraska as Hitchcock did. Names Bond Burke and Berggren are advised to remember at the polls. The tariffication question links a 10 cent sugar price today to the 25 cent price in the past and asks if tariffs caused the rise.
The World Herald notes John W. Davis as a Democratic contender sparring with Wall Street and discusses Democratic hopes for Al Smith and Charlie Bryan in New York and Nebraska. The piece references the Dawes plan, farm values, and party loyalties, urging support for Coolidge and Dawes.
