What you’re looking at

This political cartoon depicts what appears to be a bowling alley scene serving as metaphor for political maneuvering. The figure at the window (likely a political boss or authority figure) oversees others below who are literally bowling with large spheres labeled "SECTION" and other partially visible text suggesting political districts or constituencies. The caption "Set 'Em Up on the Other Alley!" suggests redirecting political activity or corruption to another location—possibly satirizing how political machines moved questionable practices between districts or wards to avoid scrutiny. The caricatured figures with exaggerated features were typical of Judge magazine's satirical style. Without clearer labeling, the specific political situation remains unclear, but the cartoon critiques manipulation of electoral districts or political constituencies.
