Changing Political Coats and the Rise of Independent Voters
The piece argues that nonpartisan and independent voters have grown in influence, diminishing party boss control. It notes shifts since 19th century Mugwumps and Bryan supporters, and lauds the independent voter as a stabilizing force in American politics today. The essay contrasts partisan excess with the emergence of personal fitness and principals over party lines. It then critiques a Chicago news report about Allen Cotten, a colored strike breaker, who was assaulted in stock yards, labeling the piece as a critique of intensified racial violence and a comparison of civilizational standards.
