About This Book
A newspaper-sourced compilation chronicles eight years of a presidential administration by compiling contemporary reportage, editorials, portraits, poems, and cartoons to present public record and reaction. It summarizes domestic legislative achievements such as monetary reform, labor and compensation measures, and rural credit provisions, traces foreign-policy initiatives and mediation efforts that preceded the nation’s intervention in the European war, and outlines the formulation of postwar peace principles and the covenant for an international league. Contemporary tributes and journalistic interpretation are included to show how the press recorded, debated, and judged the administration’s accomplishments.
