In a public argument, Democrats rail against the electoral college as outdated and dangerous and urge direct national popular voting for president and vice president. They warn it could heighten fraud and disenfranchisement in the South and argue current methods already deny Black citizens their rights. They note past elections show a popular vote winner not always carrying electoral votes and deem the push unnecessary.
An opinion piece argues that public men and newspapers undervalue women in politics despite universal suffrage. It contends women seek merit over gender, anticipate eventual full recognition, and urges fair treatment in community, state, and national affairs. It also touches on satirical attitudes, legislative fantasies, and a military note about food supplies.
