...following rules apply to spreads in the Yard and must be followed: chairmen of spreads must furnish Yard tickets for caterers; spreads will be charged for canvas fencing at the rate of 10 cents a foot; policemen for the spread entrances will be furnished, if desired, by the committee at the rate of $1 per hour; in case of injury to the grass by the caterers, the members of the spread will be held responsible; in case of rain, those spreading must pay the cost of moving the benches; payment in advance for canvas and policemen will be required...

In 1912 Taft carried the spring straw vote, and Wilson was third; in October, after the split...
...Illustrated ought to be successful in its new venture. Its first issue as a fortnightly gives much promise. At any rate, two numbers like this one would contain more material than a single copy of the paper as it has been. The pictures are many and interesting; and, if some of the articles are not positively absorbing, their subject matter ought to be. The Illustrated is making a sincere attempt to do a distinct service here--perhaps a more restricted one than heretofore. The May 1 issue points the way. By bringing up ever so little of our charity...
