What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements** for hotels (The Montclair in New Jersey, The Kirkwood in Camden, South Carolina) and a boat company, with a secondary "Brief Decisions" opinion section. The opinion pieces target **Democratic Party internal discord**, specifically mocking candidates like Wilson, Harmon, and Bailey for being afraid to associate with each other or with William Jennings Bryan—each wanting to run independently. It's satirizing the fracturing of the Democratic Party's unity. A **Tennyson parody** mocks Bryan, wishing for his political demise. Other brief items comment on: churches showing flammable motion pictures (a safety hazard), a wealthy man struggling to give away charity money, and a tailor's obsessive craftsmanship. A final note references the Kaiser losing ground to German Socialists in Potsdam. The page reflects early 20th-century Democratic Party tensions and contemporary concerns about new technologies (motion pictures) and social change (socialism in Germany).

EDMUND KRUMBHOLZ Of the Sagamore on Lake Grorge and The BRIEF DECISIONS Every Man His Own Party. It’s a hard life nowadays, being a Democrat. It is so hard to tell is a fellow-member of the ‘“‘safest”” wing of your party. Here is Wilson, who must deny his most earnest and kindly supporter, Colonel George Harvey; here is Harmon, frightened to death lest the wrong fellows should advocate his elec- tion; here is Bailey, who hardly dares talk at all, thus exercising a repression that may result in a violent explosion any day; and here is the whole lot of them, afraid that Bryan will come out for them, and even more afraid that he won't. As for Hearst, nobody loves him, and everybody wants him to love them—in secret! Each distinguished Democratic candidate seems to be say- ing to all of his party friends, ‘‘You may work for me and spend your sub- stance for me, and I wish you would; but, in the words of a current popular song, ‘But when I run, but when I run, I want to run alone!’’” Church Not a Show House. One of the subjects now being dis- cussed is the propriety of having motion pictures at church entertainments. It is argued that magic-lantern exhibitions have been often given in churches, and that motion pictures are of themselves just as innocuous. That is one way of looking at the question. The question of safety comes up, however. Many country churches are not very safe. The films of motion pictures are inflam- mable. There have been a number of disasters which have called attention to the need of all available precautions for motion-picture entertainments. A wooden church is itself, because of its materials and frequently also by reason of the peculiarity of its exits, suffi- ciently dangerous without risks being added, According to Tennyson. Ring out, wild bells to the wild sky— A frosty land, a fading light! For Bryan’s end is full in sight— Ring out, wild bells, and let him die! Caustic Comments. The great burden of the millionaire is the volume of mail importuning him for money. The Chicago man who cried for help to disburse $250,000 in charity should have remembered this. + The Kansas City tailor who found that he had put 32,937 stitches in a coat is altogether too particular to revolution- ize the clothing business. * Potsdam, where the Kaiser lives, was carried against him by the Socialists at the recent red-hot election in Germany. What King William said when he heard the returns from Potsdam sounded about like the name of the place. In answering advertisements please mention JUDGE. It will be appreciated. comicbooks.com
