# Political Satire Page from Judge Magazine This page contains several satirical items about early 20th-century American politics. The bottom section, titled "Another Installment of 'Distinguished Citizens' Who Will Change Their Votes This Fall," features three caricatured men with exaggerated features—likely prominent Republicans considering switching parties before an election. The text identifies specific individuals: one is described as a "lifelong Republican" and boiler-factory owner; another, "Joel Millet," claims kinship to William McKinley; the third, a newspaper-reading McKinley supporter, has apparently switched to Democratic allegiance. The satire mocks wealthy businessmen and politicians whose party loyalty shifts based on personal interest rather than principle. The crude caricature style emphasizes their venality and superficiality in electoral politics. Other page content includes humor pieces and society commentary typical of Judge's satirical format.
