What you’re looking at

This is a Judge magazine political cartoon titled "All Aboard For..." The image depicts a boat or ship departing from the U.S. Capitol building. On deck are military and political figures in formal dress, appearing to board or prepare for departure. In the lower left, a caricatured figure labeled "POPULISM" is being left behind or ejected from the vessel. The cartoon satirizes the exclusion of populist political movements from power or influence during the era when Judge published (appears to be early 1900s based on style). The Capitol building and uniformed officials suggest this critiques how establishment political and military leadership were distancing themselves from or rejecting populist demands of that period. The specific politicians depicted are unclear from the image alone.
