A Tale of Two Parties in Harold Armitage’s Campaign

Harold Armitage’s bid for Congress spirals from frock coat suspicion to a lively party-line scramble. Jake Buchmuller manipulates the race, Entwistle balks, and a raucous Germania Hall rally propels Armitage as delegates cheer the unlikely Democratic surge and a staged, advantageous conversion of funds.

Des Moines Wife-Tamed Husband Taming Scheme

A humorous piece recounts Mrs. Ida Pritchard steering husband Pritchard through a mock commission system in Des Moines. He endures a two-clerk salary setup, learns thrift, and eventually rebels by forming the Endless Chain Thirst League, a playful barroom coup that ends with a drink-fueled election of successors.
