Grinnell Crops and Pledges in a Turbulent Era
A fragmented 1908 era clipping mentions Clem ents eating 36 bananas in 20 minutes and jokes about vice presidents, tax exemptions, and politics. It notes Minnesota plans 7,000 harvest workers, Bryan’s relinquishment of the Commoner, and Republican optimism for another 1908 victory. The Eldora Herald defends Rockefeller, Cedar Rapids Republican reports Judge Evans is in Europe, and friends push his name for the supreme court.

Frailorial Comment and Political Jests on Taft and Bryan
A collage of cheeky notes on suffrage in English jails and Bryan vetoes, plus jabs at Taft waltzing and Hearst as his own treasurer. It riffs on Hitchcock and Cannon, then shifts to mock news items: a St Louis swimmer, Denver convention timing, and American millionaires skipping European health resorts. Includes local notices, garden-variety society briefings, and a long polemic on fiction in literature.

He mocks the middle class and farmers as the support base and notes politicians will learn to rely on less traditional donors. A stray ad for Dean's Regulats follows.
