A longstanding editorial voice rails at national party antics and a lack of constructive policy. It surveys wartime era rhetoric, questions the role of women on juries, and cites suffrage debates with references to Spokane and Chicago conventions.
The column muses on Parley Parker Christensen's campaign manager and the mood of American patriots. It notes limited enthusiasm for politics, a looming hard winter with coal concerns, and mixed signals from Raleigh on suffrage, while joking about election outcomes and public sentiment.
A partisan column mocks campaign headquarters and officials about Mr Cox and Mr Harding, contrasting Democrats error with Republicans claimed savings and lampooning a schoolboy essay about pins, highlighting national political humor and skepticism.
Excerpts recount suffragist caution on discussing jury duty for women. A Seattle murder trial in 1917 had six women jurors, including Mrs. Timmer, who faced long service while her children had measles. Judges and lawyers arranged family access, highlighting pressures on women jurors.
