Progressives drift back to GOP as suffrage debate deepens
In Shepherdstown Register July 15 1920 notes several Republicans return to the party amid tensions over Prohibition and reform. It cites Senator Penrose and other reactionaries, discusses women’s suffrage status with Tennessee and Vermont as examples, and highlights criticisms of Governor Cox and Senator Penrose, plus a West Virginia price and bond case report with a broad critique of political maneuvering. The item also mentions John Wanamaker aging gracefully and remarks on party infighting and upcoming primaries including Morgan and Montgomery in West Virginia.
