What you’re looking at

This Judge cartoon satirizes a figure labeled "Parker" who appears as a diver attempting to retrieve "the presidential treasure." The caption suggests Parker will "dive for the presidential treasure, but the probabilities are the" (text cuts off). The cartoon depicts Parker surrounded by military/naval personnel on what appears to be a ship, with ropes and diving equipment visible. The caricatured figures wear military garb labeled with text (partially legible: "Belmont," "Doubtful Mobs"). Without the complete caption and clearer date/context, the specific political reference is unclear. This likely concerns a presidential scandal or financial matter involving someone named Parker, probably from the early 1900s Judge era. The "diving" metaphor suggests attempting to recover something valuable or hidden.
