In a recent speech a speaker derides the American Legion as a bunch of cooties while other names address the crowd. Townley and McKaig weigh in with supportive or mixed remarks, signaling a charged tone about the Legion’s standing.
An excerpt discusses Woodrow Wilson and Andrew Johnson in the context of impeachment, noting how leaders in Congress distrusted Wilson as an opponent. The passage suggests inserting Johnson’s name into a quotation from a history text to fit present conditions, reflecting the political tensions and reputations of the era.
Lincoln county farmers face a decisive question over Idaho irrigation, whether to hand the project to settlers once completed.
