This Judge magazine cartoon satirizes tensions expected at a Democratic National Convention in St. Louis. The figure on the left—labeled "STOOL" and appearing disheveled—represents someone (likely a political opponent or troublemaker) being ejected from the convention venue. Inside the tent marked "DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION," various caricatured figures appear to be in heated conflict or chaos. The "hot time" caption suggests the cartoonist predicts violent confrontation or disorder at the Democratic gathering. The imagery mocks internal Democratic party strife, portraying the convention as chaotic and contentious. The style of caricature and the specific reference to St. Louis suggests this comments on a specific historical Democratic Convention, though the exact date isn't visible on this page.
