This page mixes political commentary with advertising. The left side features **Collier's magazine** promoting its upcoming 1916 presidential election coverage, asking "Who will be in the Presidential chair in 1917?" and promising comprehensive analysis under editor Mark Sullivan. It specifically mentions an article on "Burton of Ohio" by F.C. Kelly—likely referring to a potential presidential candidate from Ohio (a politically significant state). The right side contains two unrelated advertisements: a perfume ad for "Lilas de Rigaud" and a cartoon showing a child saying "I used to cry for it, but now I know it's made of green cheese"—likely a sardonic reference to believing false claims or propaganda, possibly commenting on gullibility during election season. The political content reflects pre-1916 election speculation about presidential succession.
