# Political Commentary from Judge Magazine This page contains editorial commentary on contemporary political issues, though the specific date isn't visible. The main cartoon, "At Riley's Ping-Pong Party," depicts a social gathering where political figures apparently discuss games and current events. The dialogue references seeing "the game" and painting "the bats grane an' the ball orange," suggesting satirical commentary on political maneuvering disguised as leisure activity. The left column includes various short political observations, including comments on William Jennings Bryan, General Funston, and petroleum interests in New Jersey. References to "the mosquito state" and crude petroleum suggest early 20th-century industrial/agricultural concerns. The text mocks political candidates, party managers, and various public figures through brief, pointed jabs typical of Judge's satirical style.
