Whiskers and politics in a district diary
The Snooze mocks the Democrats for skewing Roosevelt coverage and notes whiskers on Hughes and Fairbanks as a lighthearted flap. It columns about bowing to national issues, cites Beards, Caesar, Lincoln, Washington, and the Savior as examples, and remarks that whiskers are not a campaign issue while praising Hughes and Fairbanks’ Americanism. The piece also teases the Snooze editor and recalls baseball attendance in Washington with lawmakers present.
