Political clashes and 1916 campaign din in Shepherdstown
June 29 1916 editorial notes General Lilly keeping Judge Robinson busy through the year while John Cornwell’s campaign becomes simpler amid crossfire over President Wilson and German American sentiment. It questions Prohibition funding in Baltimore and WV suffrage support, mentions Theodore Roosevelt backing Hughes, and previews possible court contests over governor election results in McDowell and Mingo counties amid party bitterness.

Two battalions of U S Cavalry attacked in Mexico
The article reports a clash in which two battalions of colored troops from the Tenth U S Cavalry were nearly wiped out, about fifteen killed, many wounded, and seventeen captured. The United States demands the immediate release of prisoners and an explanation. Carranza’s government is said to threaten war, with rapid U S military mobilization along the border. News later suggests Carranza may yield and release the captured soldiers, though readiness remains high.
