General Politics: Cartoons Magazine Centennial 1912
As we approach Election’s end, I’m bringing in pages from the November as well as the October 1912 issues of Cartoons Magazine, so post-Election, we’ll be free of politics for awhile. Today, pages addressing mostly the non-Presidential level of the 1912 Election.
Above, from October 1912, art by William Kemp Starrett, Robert Satterfield, and Cy Hungerford.

Below, well, okay, the Vice-Presidential candidates. With art by Camillus Kessler, Bronstrup, and William Kemp Starrett
And where would political cartoonists be, without one corrupt actor after another, stepping up to the plate of keeping cartoonists employed, with the newest scandal to target outrage? Corrupt politicians, are such great job creators!
Above, taking his turn, corrupt Tammany Hall “Boss” Charles F. Murphy, depicted after his loss at the N.Y. State Democratic Convention, in which the Tammany candidate for Governor, was thwarted from nomination for the office, by anti-Tammany Democrats. Art by William Kemp Starrett, Boardman Robinson, and Charles MaCauley.
