Woodrow Wilson: Cartoons Magazine Centennial, June 1912, Part 5

Above, from the June 1912 issue of Cartoons Magazine, cartoonists Charles Bowers, R.D. Handy, and others, depict the efforts by others to prevent Woodrow Wilson from winning the Democratic nomination for President. Of particular interest, is Handy’s depiction of William Randolph Hearst as the Yellow Kid (an dress cartoonists had been sticking Yellow Kid‘s publisher in since the Spanish-American War, though I’m surprised to see that reference still in use in 1912).
