In The Know: Razor-Thin Victory: 1916 Presidential Campaign
Dates: 02:00pm 

Join Dennis Cross for this timely In the Know as we look at the tight race between Woodrow Wilson and Charles Evans Hughes in the presidential election of 1916. When he was first elected in 1912, Wilson commented to a friend “it would be the irony of fate if my administration had to deal chiefly with foreign affairs.” Four years later fate had intervened, and he was running for re-election on the slogan “He Kept Us Out of War.” For more information, visit https://www.theworldwar.org/visit/upcoming-events/1916election#.V_RYMP1PDd8.facebook

The exhibit features the extraordinary story of one Kansas soldier, James Clark Hughes. As a member of the U.S. Army he photographed battlefields and towns in Europe in World War I. These photographs are made public for the first time. Colonel Hughes was captured at Bataan and recorded his daily survival as a Japanese Prisoner of War in World War II. The exhibit displays his photographs, his diary excerpts, and his many belongings from the wars that were later donated to this museum.
