Progress notes 60 years ago on politics and local life
The sheet recalls Woodrow Wilson’s 46th ballot nomination by Democrats in Baltimore with Thomas Marshall as VP, Taft as Republican nominee, and a Polk county village meeting voting to build a jail near the water works. It details local visits, Fourth of July celebrations, farm activity, and residents’ travel and gatherings across 1920s era announcements.
