What you’re looking at

The cartoon depicts a roadside scene where a driver (in an early automobile) asks directions from what appears to be a rural figure. The driver asks, "Where will this road take us if we keep on?" The response is, "Waal, it all depends, mister. Maybe some o' ye'll go one place an' some t'other." The ambiguity suggests uncertainty about the political direction being taken. The text below discusses **Judge's influence on the 1912 campaign for Taft and Sherman** (Republican candidates), emphasizing how the magazine's cartoons swayed employers and businessmen to support them. The rural figure's wishy-washy answer likely satirizes political uncertainty or contradictory messaging in that election cycle.

i it A MATTER OF DOUBT. Autoist—"* Where will this road take us if we keep on?” Native—* Wa-al, it all depends, mister Mebbe some 0” ye'll go one place an’ some other.” JUDGE'S FIGHT FOR TAFT AND SHERMAN. O CAMPAIGN sent JupcE more letters complimenting | the paper upon the excellent work it did for the Re- publican cause than the one just closed. These let- ters have come from every State in the Union—a fact that emphasizes the national influence of Jupce. The late President Harrison said that the political influence of Junce was greater than that of any other paper in America. Elihu Root, Jr., gives the reason for this influence when he says, in a recent letter to JupcE, Cartoons are the pithiest form of argument.’’ The famous cartoon by Grant E. Hamilton, entitled, ** Look at the Doughnut, Not at the Hole,’’ has done just as effective work this year as did that other equally famous cartoon of his, “The Full Dinner * when it defeated Bryan in a former campaign. That the cartoons of Jupcr might have the widest possible publicity, they were offered to the Republican National Committee, to be sent out to other papers for reproduction. The national committee availed itself of this privilege most liberally, and the result was that the cartoons had a tremendously large circulation all over the country. Never before did so many employers purchase copies of Junce to distribute among their employés. It was in this field, ‘possibly, that Jupce’s influence was the greatest. Thousands of workingmen were won to the Republican cause by the arguments told in the car- toons. Many business men supplemented the work of the Republican National Committee by circulating Jupce where it would do the most good. In fact, much of the credit for the work done by Jupck must be shared with its friends. It is with pleasure that Jupcr acknowledges its special indebtedness to the following, who have helped and encouraged the good work for Taft and Sherman during the campaign just ended: W.H.
