One OF Judges cartoons represents
Bryan % . fisherman sitting Of the bank
under q tree, in a distorted countenance
trying his best to look like Abraham
Lincoln. Bryan has cam Of bait about
him variously labeled-Free silver suck
or bait; I-look-so-much-like-L Lincoln
sucker bait; Militaryism sucker bait
Anti-imperialism sucker bait; Promise.
of-o6ice sucker bait; Anti-expansion
sucker bait; I-am-a-poor-farmer sucker
bait; Trust sucker bait; I-am-with-the.
strikers sucker bait. The bait he has In
the water on his hook is q clipped So
cent dollar; the bob on his line is 'fal.
lacy" A snag in the water labeled "free
trade" caught the Cleveland 1892
~spoon-hook and broke the line. The
picture is called "Fishing for Suckers
and Bryan is represented as saying q
have tried all kinds of bait, but I DOM
believe suckers are biting this year."
Another Of Judges-"Politics makes
strange bed-fellows," represents q very
extensive bed in which Croker is the
largest Of the five sleeping figures, and
really occupies three-fourths OF the bed;
Bryan lies between Croker and Aguinal.
do, with his right arm about the latter,
while on the other side OF Croker are
Schurz and Altgeld, the latter with his
feet outside the bed, resting on the
floor. Hills head rests on q pillow on
the floor under the southwest corner OF
the bed-he has gone to sleep with the
thought, SThere's no room in bed for a
good democrat" Cleveland is off to one
side of the room, nea a stand with q
lighted candle on it, sound asleep, a pair
Of fighting mittens on, however, his
chair leaning back against the wall, his
uppermost thought when falling asleep
being. "Better I should sit up all night
than sleep in that nest" On the other
side OF the room is o small block OF ice
which We notice is not melting, and,
looking about for other indications OF
GOODNESS in the atmosphere, We zee that
a thermometer on the ear of donkey at
the right side of the head board where
Aguinaldo sleeps marks zero as the tenn
perature Of the room. In an old-fash-
Toned cradle, near by rests, with the
evident innocence Of infancy, "your
Uncle George" Dewey whose direction
before going to sleep was "Wake me up
in 1904"
Still another OF Judges represents "A
Huge Joke" as much ado about moth
ing"-a scare crow, a mans figure, q
pumpkin for the head, holes in the same
for eyes, nose and mouth, a paper crown;
a plscard-"I am imperialism. Beware
Of me. See my terrible crown and my
iron hands and arms. Beware!! Be-
ware!w- Militarism is represented by a
sword, and the whole figure is propped
mp by the plank, populism. Bryan and
Stevenson show great concern pictured
in their faces, as they see a number Of
sturdy workmen coming mp in front of
the imperial scare crow, and hear their
hearty gibes and jokes. One Of the
workmen has paid off a mortgage during
these prosperous republican times, an
other has q bank account, and all Of
them look ~contented and happy going
to their work at the mills near by. The
whole sense of the picture, when Dor
dered by six dinner pals labeled Sour
years more of the full dinner pail" is as
good as a full hours speech by a first
class campaign orator.
And these are only some OF the many
phases of the campaign.
The situation in any direction you
may travel favors the common sense
policies.
Another phase is represented by Bryan
as a doctor with a box Of very small pills
(~militarism, imperialism, etc. one of
which he is about to give a German
voter, who happens to see in Bryan's
other hand, held behind his back, a very
large ugly looking pill, called 16 to l,
and he refuses to have anything more to
do with Bryan.
1t is q very good plan for the sover-
voter to look at events as they are
occurring day by day. year by year, and,
term by term, of officials as his vote
helps to decide, and draws his own pic
tures, do his own thinking, and then
vote accordingly, just as you would il
your vote alone could decide. Tho entire
