The article reviews Senator Harding's acceptance speech, praising its candor and clear articulation of American principles. It lauds his stance on the league of nations, economic policy, wage and production balance, and calls for national unity. Idaho mentions reclamation funding and other platform points.
Parley P Christensen of Salt Lake City, new Farmer-Labor nominee for president, urged Harding and Cox to join him in demanding Eugene Debs be released from Atlanta prison. The editorial argues Debs was convicted in 1918 for obstructing recruitment and disloyalty, and that his punishment was justified, not dissipated, by twenty months of peace.
The text argues that the government’s power to defend itself was crippled on land and sea, allowing the enemy to dominate Europe and threaten American shores. It contends Debs belongs in prison for his crimes, asserting that even a life sentence would not erase his wrongdoing.
Two Coeur d Alene miners from Gold Hunter Mining and Smelting will receive gold medals from the Joseph A Holmes Safety association at the Denver event in September for heroic rescues amid mine fires and cave-ins. Other rescues and tragic cases from Butte Benalik and Balkan mines are noted, with a call for broader recognition and safer work.
War ren G Harding, Republican candidate for president, is praised for fair mindedness in printed directives given to Marion Star reporters. The guidance urges balance and truthfulness, accuracy over speed, decency and fairness, and non sensational coverage of political events while reserving editorial stance for opinion columns.
The Toledo Blade argues Cox’s national appeal is overstated, noting his varying Ohio margins from 1912 to 1918. It cites 1914 loss by 31,000, 1916 narrow gain, and 1918 loss in which Willis failed countywide, concluding Cox benefited from windfalls and not superior vote-getting power.
The poem extols courage and grit as the true measure of a man. It emphasizes standing tall through fate’s blows, not triumphs, and that lasting worth is proven by how one endures pain, setbacks, and sorrow rather than by victories. It underscores resilience, resolve, and inner strength as key qualities.
The article surveys blue sky laws from Pardee to Kansas, arguing strict disclosure and licensing protect the public yet may hamper legitimate oil and mining ventures. It stresses that mining carries inherent hazards, with few projects becoming profitable, urging laws that inform investors without stifling development. It notes the war’s impact on mineral supply and warns that aggressive restriction risks exhausting current mines.
Harvey's Weekly notes the 1920 Chicago convention fragmenting into over a hundred factions and rival candidates. Parley P Christensen won the nomination, with Max Hayes named vice president. The platform denounces many things while promising much more.
A talkative party sits in the smoker asking the dry stranger his state. The weary reply states the dryness is the same in any state, leaving the conversation with a resigned tone from The Home Sector.
