Sisseton Standard and Rockford Transcript fragment discuss a post office matter and a provoked wartime slogan parody. The piece criticizes remarks by Knappen and mentions Mosher, Wilmot Republican, and Emerson in local wards with informal commentary on reputations.
The piece reports northern counties and their leaders backing Martin and the insurgent movement, with confidence in a righteous cause and resistance to compromise. It notes strong support in the North, a split with southern counties, and a continued legal case involving Randolph.
Reported early tallies show stalwarts likely to win a solid majority of convention delegates with insurgents holding doubt in several counties. Ward results sent shock waves as the city backed the stalwarts but the second and third wards stayed loyal while the first ward swung to insurgents. Counts indicate emerging victory patterns and ongoing county by county campaigning for GOP control.
The federal government crushed a paper trust formed to fix publisher prices. Beginning in 1904 the trust and its 24 concerns were dissolved and competition restored. Paper price dropped from 2.45 to about 1.85 per hundred, with likely lasting effects. This early Roosevelt anti trust action reflects broader public support to curb restraints on trade.
