# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page 303 This page satirizes Republican Party politics, likely from the late 19th century. The main text discusses Senator Calvin Stewart Brice of Ohio, criticizing his dual residency and political maneuvering. The cartoon "Trouble Somewhere" depicts a gentleman (possibly Brice) in an awkward domestic situation with a woman, captioned with dialogue about marital infidelity—a visual metaphor for political betrayal. The "Striking the Wrong House" series (illustrations 1-4) on the right appears to show someone repeatedly knocking on incorrect doors seeking something, likely satirizing confused or misdirected political efforts. The "Answered" dialogue at bottom makes a pun about "saved-off" versus "saw off," playing on political jargon about removing party members from power.

We hope to see this important fact take hold of the emo- tions of Mr. Calvin Stewart Brice, who is a senator from Ohio, yet swears he is a citizen of New York, and in fact pays taxes in New York and no taxes in Ohio. It is notorious that Mr. Brice bought his chair in the senate chamber; but, dropping the method of the transaction, he has no more right to represent the people of Ohio than the man in the moon, Mr. Brice is also chairman of the Democratic national committee. If he will not resign as senator will he give up his chairmanship? Will his party demand that personal sacrifice of him? ANSWERED. _, MR.
