This page contains political commentary and satirical cartoons from an era when Woodrow Wilson was Governor of New Jersey (before his presidency). **"Wilson—That's All"**: Mocks Wilson's claimed shock at discovering fraudulent votes cast for him during his gubernatorial campaign. The editorial suggests his outrage rings hollow given his political history and argues his credibility has eroded, proposing he resign and run again on his own platform for authenticity. **"War Declared"**: Criticizes Rudyard Kipling's attempted reconciliation with Canada after his earlier poem "Our Lady of the Snows" offended Canadians. The piece notes Kipling's recent opposition to Canadian-American reciprocity was likely an unsuccessful attempt to restore favor. **"House Cleaning at Summer Resorts"**: Reports on Maine resort towns enforcing prohibition laws as the vacation season ends. **The three cartoons** (labeled "Alarm among the Turks," "Battle scene," and "America interferes in the name of peace") appear to reference international conflict, likely the Balkan Wars or similar early-20th-century tensions, though specific context isn't entirely clear from the page alone.

E D “Wilson—That's All.” OVERNOR WIL- SON assumes to be horrified at his dis- covery that last year some fraudulent votes were cast for him when he was running for Governor of New Jersey. At his first outbreak he intimated that he might not retain his office, because he sus- pected his title to be fraud taint- ed. A year ago Governor Wil- son's pretensions of ignorance and innocence would have been re- ceived with more credulity. Since then he has gone ITORIALS. ties are taking the steps usual at the beginning of autumn to prevent gam- bling. These annual house-cleaning events save summer resorts from sinking at once from the excitement of the holiday season into dreary mo- notony, and give all-the-year-round resi- dents something to discuss during the long winter months when they live off each other. WAR DECLARED! Caustic Comment. IPLING has been try- ing to come back. Years ago he, with friendly intentions, wrote of Canada as ‘Our Lady of the Snows.’’ The Canadians were very angry at this well-meant poetic touch. It seemed to them an advertisement that their country was a good one for immigrants to avoid. Possi- bly it did have some effect, but, if it did, the rea- son was because the Canadians had so much to say about the Kipling expres- sion, which was not read by many emigrants. Re- back 02 his life- lon, :onvictions, or what passed for sach, and whet he may now say is notal- ways taken at par. Neverthe- less, he vould add interest to life if he re- signed his office and ran once again this fall on his own plat- form. cently Mr. Kip- 2. Battle scene. House cleaning at Summer Resorts.
