The Bloomfield Democrat critiques Cy Davis and W J Bryan, arguing the shift from Miers to Davis in 1906 was a doomed move. It asserts Bryanism doomed the party, predicts a crushing defeat for Bryan or Davis if nominated, and labels the party as blundering through Free Trade and Free Silver eras. The piece notes Dr Timmis opening a Bays block office and lists a newspaper subscription price.
