Josephine Williams of the Jefferson Times.
The Jefferson Times was a newspaper in the United States of Mexico based in Jefferson City. In the 12 February 1921 issue, Times columnist Josephine Williams dismissed President Emiliano Calles as a figurehead for Secretary of State Albert Ullman: "Mr. Calles resembles nothing more than petrified wood, not only in appearance, but in chemistry. Wood when placed in mineral solution changes gradually, as the wood molecules are replaced by those of stone. Thus, the appearance is wood, but the reality is calcium. President Calles seems the Hero of Chapultapec, but in reality he is the miserable professor from Kinkaid."
