TEACHING POLITICS BY PICTURES.
A WAY TO REACH THE MASSES OF THE PEOPLE


A WAY TO REACH THE MASSES OF THE PEOPLE
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The unrestricted franchise gives the right
of voting to incredibly large number of persons
whose principal. if not sole, means of learning any
thing OF the issues at stake in campaign, or of
those who have been selected to represent
them, is that which is told them.
An editorial exposition. matter how IL
Illuminating and convincing, does not exist for this
mass. forming so large proportion of the body of
voters because it is seldom reached by
such writings. and even if it should be such docu-
ments would carry no weight because it is wholly
beyond the power to comprehend and retain the
ideas.
There is however, a method by which the most
abstruse of campaign teachings may be brought
clearly. convincngly and 'stayingy'' to the mind
OF illiterate Voter-the picture.
1t is said that during the war Of the Rebellion
the cartoons of Thomas Nash, published In "Har-
the instruction of the people of all the war docu-
ments issued.
My idea is that the voters who never read may
be taught and influenced by a series of campaign
pictures, seriously and we'll artsticaly, drawn,
without the use of ridicule, which always causes
some degree of resentment.
1t seems to me a comprehensive group of such
cartoons for free circulation could present the
antagonsm and differences of the principles in
proper results clearly fixed in the minds of
those who see them, than many times the bulk~of
the campaign literature usually issued.
