This political cartoon satirizes Senator William Stewart of Nevada's support for Mark Hanna as a presidential candidate for 1904. The image depicts Hanna (the bearded figure wearing a "Stewart" cap) being figuratively "marked" or branded by the Republican establishment. The central figure represents the "Republican Presidential Nomination" for 1904, shown as a plump woman being groomed for presentation. The satire mocks Stewart's endorsement of Hanna, playing on the double meaning of "mark"—both as a target and as a sign or brand. The cartoon suggests the Republican machinery was actively promoting Hanna's candidacy, with Stewart's support helping to "mark" him as the chosen nominee. The judges and establishment figures oversee this political process with self-satisfied expressions.
