Harper's Weekly editor Colonel George Harvey was an early supporter of Wilson's candidacy for U.S. President. Colonel Henry Watterson was the renowned editor of the Louisville Courier Journal. The caption below notes that Colonel Watterson was outraged over Wilson's decision to politically distance his presidential campaign from Colonel Harvey and Harper's Weekly. Wilson believed that Colonel Harvey's Wall Street connections would turn off voters in the general election.
