Frauenrechts-Amendment in Iowa mit etwa 6000 Mehrheit geschlagen.


* * * * * * * *

Am Vorabend der republ Nationalkonvention in Chicago.

* * * * * * * *

Richter Hughes vorläufig noch an der Spitze.

* * * * * * * *

Aber Republikaner und Progessive uneinig.

* * * * * * * *

Und der Enthusiasmus fehlt – Hughes hielt seine politische Rede in Washington – “America first”, seine Losung – Sekretär Lansing fordert von Botschafter Gerard Rechenschaft über seine angeblichen deutschfreundlichen Interviews. Todtenliste durch Tornados in Arkansas, Missouri etc. auf 107 gestiegen – Außerdem 20 Personen vermisst und hunderte verletzt – Yuanschikai, Präsident der Republik China, plötzlich gestorben – Wahrscheinlich an Vergiftung – Aber sein Tod dürfte dem Reiche der Mitte den Frieden wiedergeben.

Translation

Women’s Suffrage Amendment in Iowa Defeated with a Majority of 6,000


* * * * * * * *

Eve of the Republican National Convention in Chicago.

* * * * * * * *

Judge Hughes still in the lead for the time being.

* * * * * * * *

But Republicans and Progressives disagree.


* * * * * * * *

And enthusiasm is lacking – Hughes holds a political speech in Washington – “America First”, his slogan – Secretary Lansing demands accountability from Ambassador Gerard for his allegedly German-friendly interviews. Death count from tornadoes in Arkansas, Missouri etc. increased to 107 – Also 20 people missing and hundreds injured – Yuan Shikai, President of the Republic of China, dies suddenly – likely poisoned – but his death should restore peace to the Middle Kingdom.
