Wallace Idaho newspaper Wallace Miner enters post office as second class mail matter under editor J Dunn.
Opinion argues for international action to remonetize silver as a world money metal at a fixed ratio with gold. It recalls 1896 debates between Bryan and McKinley, notes England’s then-control of silver, and says today the U K and Europe face debt and gold challenges making a global agreement timely. The piece claims silver overproduction and gold’s reduced circulation support the plan.
Opinion piece argues Hiram Johnson cannot secure the Republican nomination citing alleged ties to radical and pro German voters. It criticizes his past acts against party cohesion, his California electoral stance in 1916, and urges loyalists to reject a candidate deemed self serving and unfit for national leadership.
The passage states a political group plans to seize control on the fourth of next March and urges the Chicago national convention to back restoring silver as the standard metal through international agreement, pledging to promote this agreement if dominant.
A critical column denounces government waste, arguing the wartime and wartime-inspired bureaus flood papers with political material, inflating costs and consuming scarce pulp while publishers profit from excess advertising and sensational content. The piece condemns national capital departments for political propaganda and unnecessary printing.
Butte adopts the American plan as the unions in the building trades council resist negotiation. The decree asserts workers’ right to employment under fair terms, forbids coercion or discrimination, and upholds mutual obligations, with employers free to hire and dismiss.
The piece attacks Samuel Gompers as a staunch Democratic partisan and criticizes his stance on labor, war, and policy. It argues his alignment with the Democratic Party undermines American interests, condemns his defense of Wilsonian policies in Mexico, and claims his views ignore national self-respect amid economic strains and sugar shortages.
Alabama Senator Underwood has been elected Senate Democratic leader, succeeding Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. The shift reflects anti Wilson sentiment across states, with Lodge to head Republican delegates in Massachusetts and Senator Wels facing attacks for opposing the Wilsonian league. The Wilson administration struggles to curb living costs and sustain bond prices.
Financial Review discusses silver pricing with Samuel Montagu & Co in New York as London seeks to set prices. The piece argues North American production gives the region influence, while Britain may shape the free market outlook. It questions silver dollar reserves and Mexican shipments as price determinants.
The piece cites a tale of Mr Malloch reciting a poem at a dinner hosted by Thomas Lawson in Boston. The anecdote notes Lawson’s remark that writing a poem is great and hearing from the author is even richer, as echoed by Eagle Magazine. The world has spread the verse widely, reaching papers in this country and beyond to China and Australia.
Washington dispatch says relief from the sugar situation may be found soon, easing exasperation over the current shortage. The report notes ongoing talks and potential policy moves anticipated to stabilize prices and supply.
AP dispatch quotes J Hain Lewis predicting Democrats will rally behind Woodrow Wilson at the San Francisco convention. He warns of internal quarrels and party chaos if Wilson is pursued, likening it to a doomed state of cholera morbus. The piece riffs on party upheaval and historic comparisons as a cautionary note.
