Inauguration date judged unfit by Washington Star
The Washington Star argues the March 4 inauguration date was unwise amid rail, travel, and border tensions. It critiques delays in deploying troops to Mexico against Villa and Carranza, and notes mixed public interest in local schooling and politics. The piece calls for a firm U S border policy and reflects on figures like Carranza, Villa, and Obregon. It also covers Maine political stance, Bath cultural events, and Booth Tarkington’s early writing struggles.
