What you’re looking at

This 1927 Judge magazine cartoon depicts a large, aggressive bull labeled "NEVER FORGET" destroying a grave marked with flowers and a cross. A sign reads "NOTICE TO CONVICTED LEADER IN POLITICAL POSITIONS ASTER BRYAN," apparently referencing William Jennings Bryan. The satire appears to criticize Bryan's political legacy, suggesting his influence refuses to "die" despite defeat. The bull—symbolizing relentless force or obstruction—tramples commemoration of his political career, implying his ideas or methods were destructive and should be abandoned rather than memorialized. The exact political grievance isn't entirely clear from the image alone, but the cartoon expresses strong disapproval of Bryan's continued political relevance or ideological persistence among American voters.
