What you’re looking at
This page contains three political commentaries from what appears to be the early 1900s: **"Blue Atmosphere"** criticizes William Randolph Hearst's financial support of the Independence League and its candidate, suggesting Hearst funds opposition to Republicans while maintaining his newspaper's influence. **"Too Good to Be True"** discusses William Jennings Bryan's upcoming presidential campaign, skeptically suggesting his anti-corruption rhetoric won't withstand scrutiny. The text implies Bryan and allies may face political complications in New York. **"Pot and Kettle"** mocks Attorney-General Jackson for investigating state departments while New York politics itself remains corrupt, questioning why he targets certain officials. **"Yes, Bryan Loves the Big Stick"** (bottom cartoon) appears to satirize Bryan's relationship with Roosevelt-era politics, though details are unclear from the image alone. The page reflects Judge's Republican-leaning editorial stance against Democratic figures.
