It read like papers a decade prior, trouble on the border.
And, while we haven't been covering it much, there was plenty of ongoing trouble in Mexico. Woodrow Wilson may have declared Carranza the legitimate head of state, but there were still armed contestants on that claim and they were pretty active. For that matter, Carranza's regime was shaky internally. Mexico remained troubling and in trouble.
And Senator Harding of Ohio was entering the fray. . .
He actually already had, but after New Hampshire, where Gen. Leonard Wood had taken the first victory of the season, Harding was in the west, in Denver specifically, drawing attention to his campaign.
