Wilson compared to Lincoln sparks Elyria debate
An Elyria letter defending President Wilson prompts a local editorial rebuttal. The piece argues Wilson exaggerated through Creel era propaganda, contrasts him with Lincoln’s humility, and criticizes the notion of a single patriotic figure. It likens Wilson’s self view to divinity and notes public weariness with wartime myths and the treatment of soldiers.
