# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains multiple political cartoons and commentary from the 1880s-90s era. The main cartoon, "The Way Out of It," depicts a woman seated while a man stands—illustrating a joke about a hostess whose refreshments have run out; the solution is to allow her female guests to speak, causing them to "disappear like smoke." The surrounding text contains brief political jabs: references to **Colonel Foraker** (likely Joseph B. Foraker, Ohio politician), **Pulitzer** (Joseph Pulitzer, newspaper publisher), and **Governor Hill** (David B. Hill of New York). Key satirical points include: - Women's growing political influence and public participation - Criticism of Democratic party leadership - Mocking commentary on specific politicians' competence - A joke equating a weak chicken to "a Pulitzer" (implying weakness) The cartoons mock both political figures and social pretensions of the era, using humor to critique contemporary politics and gender politics during the Progressive era.
