Camp satire on Wilson
The two-page handbill includes “Camp Satire on Wilson,” a reprint of an article originally written for The Evening Post. The article describes the posting of a “bitter political satire on President Woodrow Wilson” on a military training camp bulletin board. The satirical placard apparently included Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, and other prominent political figures as characters from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The second page of the handbill is a dramatis personae, listing the characters and the political figure used to represent them in the satire.
