Presidential candidates praised as 1912 election looms
The graduation exercises feature speeches endorsing Taft, La Follette, Clark, and Wilson. Mamie Haefner lauds Taft as Ohio born leader ready to extend civil service reform while Gladys Christman backs La Follette. Champ Clark champions progressive wins, and Mary Booth with others applaud Helen Gould and women’s rights. Wilson appears as ideal next president with strong Princeton and New Jersey credentials.
