Questions and rumors swirl around Mohawk politics and figures
The item compiles a series of local political curiosities and gossip. It asks whether a street fair Barker stayed fair after Bob Kirkham became justice of the peace, why the Democratic county machine expects a Kentucky congressman in a dry town, and when Newcome will be recalled for another speech. It inquires about a Mohawk writer carrying a Colt for protection, the next kid story, whether John E. Lamb was in contact with the county organization, if Poynter has spoken, and what B stands for in Veter B May’s initials.
