# Bachelor Number - Judge Magazine Satire Page This page contains three distinct satirical pieces about early 1900s politics and social issues: **"Dramatic Notes"** mocks Albert Jay Birdyridge, an Indiana senator seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. The satire suggests he's an undistinguished politician relying on endorsements rather than merit. **"Where Danger Lies"** by Margaret Erskine warns against women drivers, humorously advising insurance men that automobiles are safer than trusting women at the wheel—a common anti-suffrage/anti-women's independence trope of the era. **"When Eggs Are Sold by Weight"** appears to joke about future absurdities, likely critiquing some proposed regulation. The central cartoon "Judging by Past Results" depicts a romantic dilemma, captioned with a father questioning why a suitor selected his daughter. The satire targets matrimonial logic and courtship customs.
