Weeks after a cabinet resignation there is no clear democratic push for probing the Henry Ford senatorial campaign expenditures. The article notes lack of visible enthusiasm for ag gestion reforms amid ongoing political unease.
The president names a woman to the civil service commission. Supporters say she will merit praise if she resists Postmaster General Burleson and keeps the commission from being dictated by him.

The piece notes Thomas R. Marshall as the only Democrat linked to the presidential nominating contest who could tread carefully in his political role. It praises his eight years as vice president and his ability to maintain dignity without self-importance, suggesting he has enduring party appeal.
Toledo Blade weighs the candidate's aloof demeanor and remote ties to the administration. It argues a Marshall nomination would burden the party with past policies while noting rivals Bryan Edwards McAdoo Palmer Hoover Cox and others offer mixed appeal and risks for 1920 political dynamics.
A slice of the 1920 Democratic dilemma shows factions clashing over prohibition and the league of nations.

The party also fractures on railroad and utility ownership and government efficiency debates flare as resignations expose bureaucratic flaws.
A wartime style exhortation urges Republicans to stay steady and focused on victory. It calls for discipline, unity, and loyalty to the party to lift the nation from despondency and restore Americanism, with emphasis on training, patriotism, and landmark policy direction under Will Hays.
A political column contrasts waste and efficiency in public life with an appeal against reliance on foreign guidance. It quotes Indianapolis Star and Hoke Smith of Georgia arguing reservations to the League Covenant, warns about Article 10, and urges independent American judgment on international obligations. The piece endorses Hoke Smith as a patriot over party and notes the Covenant as a campaign issue.
The piece argues Wilson may aim to force his League Covenant on the party if not the candidate, suggesting the party will not elevate him above Washington Lincoln or Roosevelt.
