General Politics: Cartoons Magazine Centennial, April 1912, Part 10

1912 was one of the most volatile Presidential election years for the G.O.P. The drum beat was as intense as it could sans radio or television. The above group of cartoons — from the April 1912 issue of Cartoons Magazine — was already looking towards the end, under the group title of “Seven Months More”.

Below, cartoonists Cy Hungerford and Clare Briggs, are amongst those focusing on general, local politics.

Click on the above & below pictures, to view the cartoons in detail, and read their captions.

Beneath, three cartoons on the 1912 Ohio Constitutional Convention, by Harry J. Westerman, W.A. Ireland, and a pre-Barney Google Billy DeBeck.
