Reformers mock the campaign style as supporters prepare for mudslinging against Supreme Judge Salinger in the Senate race and possible presidency. The piece notes the slim chance of positive public reception amid imagined grievances and political attacks.
A long Iowa editorial column defends Ben Salinger and denounces editorials against him. It urges unity in wartime, supports Woodrow Wilson, and argues for or against constitutional prohibition while urging civic participation and loyalty to the American cause during World War I. The piece condemns German aggression, praises loyal Germans, and calls for citizen action and restraint in criticism.
The piece denounces the large number of exemption claims from army service as unmanly and unpatriotic. It condemns those who seek exemptions hypocritically while praising volunteers and those who accepted service when drafted. Legitimate exemptions are acknowledged but the “exemption slacker” is scorned.
Readers rail at meat conservation delays while contemplating a future indulgence. The piece cites German wartime terms Spurlos Versenkt and criticizes government hypocrisy quoting the National Tribune about sinking Argentine vessels without survivors.
