What you’re looking at
This page contains three separate political commentaries from what appears to be an early 20th-century Judge issue. **"Bombshell Artillery"** mocks unnamed political figures for denying campaign bombs existed, then claiming they were necessary—apparently referencing actual bombing incidents during a political campaign. **"The People's Choice"** features an illustration endorsing Charles E. Hughes for New York Governor, presenting him as the public's preferred alternative to "combined efforts of the political bosses." **"Bunco"** criticizes stock exchange "short selling," arguing it damages the national economy and should be legislated against. The author suggests this financial practice is among "the worst habits developed by the established stock exchange." The page reflects Progressive Era concerns about political violence, machine politics, and financial reform.
