This newspaper clipping from The Globe includes several marked articles. “The First Speech of Mr. Higgins,” describes a speech of Frank Wayland Higgins, New York gubernatorial candidate, in his hometown. “Very Queer Business” highlights the hysterical situation in the press surrounding Judge Alton B. Parker, as the newspapers seem to not trust Parker to act on his own “as a self-respecting man and leader of his party.” This stands in sharp contrast to the mood of the democratic campaign itself, which seems much more sanguine. Finally, “A Notable Accession” is a partial article highlighting the choice by Robert Treat Paine of Massachusetts, a former Democratic gubernatorial candidate, to vote for President Roosevelt rather than Parker.
