I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. WILMEM_100305_015.JPG: Caricature of 1911 lampooning Woodrow Wilson's reluctance to say definitely that he was a presidential candidate: In the spring of 1911, as his gubernatorial successes bred ever more talk of making him the Democrat's presidential candidate in 1912, Wilson set off on [a] speaking tour of the West and South. It was clear to everyone that this was an effort to promote his White House chances, and at one point in the tour he confided to close associates, "I do want to be president." Nevertheless, he continued publicly to maintain the fiction that he was not a candidate for the office, and although he already had some campaign staff, he strictly forbade them from doing anything that openly put him "forward as a candidate for the Presidency."
2. WILMEM_100305_018.JPG: Wilson campaign pamphlet and pins from the presidential campaign of 1912: The presidential campaign of 1912 marked the high tide of the Progressive movement's call for stronger regulation of business and labor, and as the Democratic candidate Wilson offered voters a brand of progressivism that had been christened the "New Freedom." In winning the electorate to his cause, Wilson had the distinct advantage of facing a divided opposition thanks to a Republican split that year that led to the presidential candidacies of both ex-President Theodore Roosevelt and White House incumbent William Howard Taft. Thus, although he claimed well below fifty per cent of the popular vote in November, Wilson's victory in the Electoral College was overwhelming.

5. WILMEM_100305_084.JPG: Cartoon commentary on Wilson's effort to keep the country out of World War I: By the time this editorial cartoon was drawn in early 1917, the German navy's blatant, disregard for American shipping rights was making it difficult for Wilson to stave off American involvement in the war. At first Wilson tried armed neutrality, but after much agony and soul searching, he chose to join the Allied powers in their effort to defeat Germany.
6. WILMEM_100305_093.JPG: Pro-Wilson watch fob from the presidential campaign of 1916: In Wilson's bid for a second presidential term, his success in keeping the United States out of World War I was a main selling point. With its slogan "His Pen Is Mightier than the Sword," this Wilson campaign token, made to hang from the watch pocket of a man's vest, played on that theme, for the slogan referred to Wilson's great eloquence in promoting the cause of peace. Among the prime examples of that eloquence was his speech of May 1916 in which he set forth his hopes for an international organization for safeguarding the rights of nations through peaceful arbitration. After the speech, one commentator predicted, "It will be said of Mr. Wilson that he lived in a time of supreme opportunity, [and] that he had the vision to grasp it."
7. WILMEM_100305_104.JPG: Tin tray emblazoned with Wilson's wartime aim to "make the world safe for democracy": This tray is one of scores of objects inspired by Wilson's wartime idealism and disseminated to the public both in the United States and in Europe.
8. WILMEM_100305_115.JPG: Wilson's complimentary pass for the 1916 American League baseball season: During his presidency, Wilson routinely received a complimentary season pass for the American League. But on the eve of attending his first game as president, the Washington Senators' opening game of 1913, he told a sports reporter that he was not going to be a "dead head" for that, free part or not, he intended to be one of baseball's "paying fans."
