What you’re looking at

This cartoon depicts multiple Republican politicians reaching upward toward a large sphere labeled "REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP" with a scroll reading "REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION." The figures appear caricatured in a style typical of early-20th-century political satire. The satire's point is clear from the caption "THEY ALL WANT IT": numerous Republican contenders are competing for the party's presidential nomination, all grasping desperately for the prize. The cartoon mocks the crowded Republican field and internal competition for party leadership. Without seeing a date or publication context on this page, I cannot identify the specific election cycle or individual figures depicted. The style and subject suggest this is from an early presidential campaign era when Judge magazine was actively satirizing American politics.
