Sioux City Tribune reports a political clash revolving around approval of a large appropriation. A key figure contends for reduced funds from 20 million to 5 million while claiming to safeguard a significant state project. The piece mentions Secretary of State and Auditor roles, along with named officials and locations, framing a tense budget showdown.
A resolution by Senator Russell of Aberdeen to investigate state spending was adopted and a five member committee appointed. Nearly two years passed with no public report, leading to questions about delays until after the election.
The Norris resolution calls for an immediate inquiry into Roger Sullivan and Hales Penrose campaign expenditures to calm suspicions. It warns against smothering or defeating the measure as it would weaken a conviction not favorable to the candidates or the Senators backing it. If no facts exist, Sullivan and Penrose should press their allies to back the resolution.
In an August 27 statement President Wilson, nearly a year before Huerta’s retirement settled Mexico, asserted that moral force would break barriers and lead to Mexico’s friendship. He claimed Americans would triumph as friends rather than enemies, gaining greater conscience and honor.
The piece argues against automatic intervention or annexation in Mexico, noting U S violence and injustice at home while warning that economic hardship in Mexico drives instability. It suggests constitutional reform and restoring normal economic conditions as prerequisites for lasting peace.
The piece recalls Washington’s Farewell and argues the United States must avoid entangling alliances. It states that only those who are strong in conscience and honor need not form international ties, while the weak are those afraid to do right or doubt their cause, and calls for steadfast national purpose.
Fragmentary OCR text references Wilson the High Minded and mentions Europe in a fragmentary way. No clear event dates places or organizations are readable to establish a full news item or outcome.
In a strong critique of imperial folly, the piece lauds Wilson era watchful waiting during the Mexican crisis, argues invading or occupying Mexico would have wronged humanity, and credits the U S president with restraint after Vera Cruz. It lists nations recognizing the administration and pleads for moral leadership among European rulers.
A historic House with 200 Democrats and 127 Republicans faces questions about party platform measures such as the Underwood Tariff, the currency law, and anti trust legislation. The piece asks Republicans if they would repeal these measures and return power to prior administrations, listing key items and prompting GOP members to answer on policy reversals and electoral fate.
The speaker asks if voters should trust the Republican Party to legislate for them after fourteen years. He asks whether a Spanish American War veteran has complaints about a Democratic Congress that provided a pension for his wife and children if needed. He questions union labor’s willingness to repudiate the party that protected it and to return to power. If progressive legislation satisfies you, why risk a change.
