Critics Grow Over Wilson Pension Claim In Campaign
The piece notes rising Democratic criticism of Governor Wilson of New Jersey over a pension application from the Carnegie fund. Wilson defends the move as deserved as a former college professor, arguing political luck is risky and that he needed income for his family. The column compares his reasoning unfavorably to Bryan’s, suggesting Wilson sought a “cinch,” though he did not receive the pension.
