Title: The President's illness
Creator(s): Kirby, Rollin, 1875-1952, artist
Date Created/Published: [1919?]
Summary: Cartoon shows two old women, labeled 'Cloak Room Gossip' and 'Congressional Rumor,' gossiping under a parasol. In October 1919, President Wilson suffered a serious stroke that was largely concealed from the public for almost five months. The cartoonist (erroneously) suggests that Congressional speculation about the President's illness is overwrought.
