A lengthy critique surveys Virginia politics with Governor Westmoreland Davis as a central figure. It condemns machine influence, praises reformers like Carter Glass and Henry Carter Stuart, and questions Dr. Freeman's pro Davis stance while noting Democratic and Republican maneuvering in the 1920s era.
The piece argues Davis is more electable than Coolidge, citing Republican advantages and Democratic struggles. It quotes Colonel George Harvey noting Coolidge could not win if election held today and predicts a stronger Davis campaign through the country as the year progresses.
A Hagerstown report says aviators at a marine aviation field near Boonesboro seek a trained buzzard said to mimic planes with precise stunts. Officers value the trained bird highly and offer B 100 each for its capture alive. The aviators discuss attempting the Timmelsmann turn to trap it.
The piece portrays a speaker praising strict law and order, condemning violence and disorder. It critiques vandalism and lawlessness while extolling justice that applies evenly to rich and poor, urging reform and accountability.
The analysis notes that Coolidge must win nearly all key states with doubt to reach 266. If Davis or La Follette win 21 of 90 doubtful votes, Coolidge loses. Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey, and other close states determine whether the Republican can be elected or if Congress must decide. The piece argues the claimed certainty of Coolidge victory is misleading amid shifting East Coast support.
