What you’re looking at

This page primarily contains **poetry satirizing the 1912 U.S. presidential campaign** rather than visual cartoons. The verses mock the chaos of multiple candidates competing: - **"Teddy" (Theodore Roosevelt)** flip-flopped on running ("I will not run"/"By George, I will!") - **La Follette** felt betrayed by Roosevelt's decision - **Wilson, Hearst, and Clark** are referenced as competing candidates - **Watterson** (likely Henry Watterson, a prominent editor) "re-inks his quill" to attack candidates The poem captures the fractured Republican Party in 1912, when Roosevelt's comeback split the GOP and handed victory to Democrat Woodrow Wilson. The remainder of the page consists of **advertisements** (Schlitz beer, Hotel Kaaterskill) and brief humorous observations ("Flotsam"), not political commentary. The satirical point: the 1912 race was chaotic infighting among numerous candidates—"every latest modern frill" of campaigning, yet unpredictable.

You've gone and given me the spill, The double cross—I say it plain!’’ Most everybody's on the grill--- Believe me, this is some campaign! To Harvey, Wilson slips a ton Of lemons with an icy chill; Then Hearst goes after Jersey's son, And Watterson re-inks his quill. The knockers put Clark through the mill, And Harmon hears the anvil strain With every latest modern frill— Believe me, this is some campaign! “Our Theodore”’ gets out his gun And takes a shot at ‘‘Dear Friend will,” Who slams the gay Rough Rider one, Which makes him shriek in accents shrill. The orators are never still, With talk of Lincoln, Jackson, Blaine; Each day we get a newer thrill— Believe me, this is some campaign! ENVOY. Prince, slates and dope books all are nil, From prophecies I will refrain, Our ears with many voices fill— Believe me, this is some campaign! —Berten Braley. Beautifully Trimmed. In the course of remarks at the Re- publican Club, in New York, Colvin B. Brown, commissioner and big booster for the San Francisco exposition, was talking of the splendid reception which Gotham gave to the members of the Western Governors’ Special. He told how the delegation had been met at the gates of the metropolis, greeted by the leading citizens, and finally escorted to the Waldorf-Astoria. He was particularly impressed with the decorations at the famous hostelry, and wound up his speech with this remark: “Finally, the Western Governors in- vaded the Waldorf, and I want to say right here, gentlemen, that hotel has never been more beautifully trimmed!’ Flotsam. Every man was once a presidential Possibility—to his mother.
