What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct elements: **The Budweiser Advertisement** (top two-thirds): An ethnic appeal ad targeting Scandinavian-American voters. It celebrates Leif Erikson as America's "true" discoverer, praises Scandinavian character and liberty-loving nature, then argues they've traditionally drunk beer and opposed Prohibition. It's designed to mobilize this demographic *against* alcohol restrictions—likely referencing ongoing Prohibition debates of the era. **The Whittier Inn Advertisement** (bottom): A straightforward hotel promotion for a New York summer resort. **"What's Not in Washington"** (right column): Political satire by Francis X. Oswald mocking senators' fashion choices. It jests that Senator Lewis of Illinois started a trend by wearing delicate white trousers, inspiring other senators to adopt increasingly feminine clothing (petunia voile, charmeuse)—turning the Senate into "a bevy of butterflies" rather than statesmen. The humor satirizes senators' vanity and ridiculousness.

This was nearly a thou: sand years ago, when the Scandinavian peoples ruled the seas and held the secrets of navigation. The history of the fair-haired, liberty-loving sons and daughters of Sede, Noovs and Denmark 1s rich in song and story. We have millions of these splendid folk in our own land, and wherever the standard of Liberty and Human Progress has been raised they gam are found in the front rank, bravely hghtung for the Right. Better citizens or greater lovers of Personal Li are unknown. For cen- turies our full-blooded Scandinavian brothers have been moderate users of Barley-Malt brews Who can truthfully say it has injured them in any way? It is the ancient heritage of these peoples to revolt at Prohibitory Laws, and their vote 1s registered almost to aman against such legislation For 57 years Scandinavians | have been drinkers of the honestly-brewed beers of Anheuser) 4aq) Busch.

OSWALD Washington ident of Svvce itches to Jupcr) Wasuincton, D. C., August 22—Wh Senator Lewis, of Illinois, added to his fame by donning trousers of delicatel feminine white ratine, he little thought of the terrible possibilities which this sartorial excursion might bring to his colleagues in the Senate. At first they ridiculed his innovation by unkind alu. sions to the Illinoisan'’s “bath-towel pants."* But soon they undertook to outrival his aspirations, and now Senator Lewis him- self must stand aghast at what he has brought about. We undertake this task reluctantly. For it seems almost a sac- rilege to attempt to put into cold lan- the dainty frills and furbelows, the ns of ribbons and and whatnots that make up the latest senatorial togas, The Senate of the United States looks for all the world like a bevy of butterflies in- stead of a council of statesmen, Just think of our untamed old friend from South Carolina, ‘Pitchfork Ben’? Tillman, marching into the Senate cham- ber attired in trousers of petunia voile, surmounted by a sleeveless blouse effect of pink charmeuse and a delicate tan. colored sash! Horrors! Here trudges in that grass- hopper-like statesman from Kansas, Sen- ator Bristow, who always looked like a black s nt par locust in his claw- hammer frock coat, until he essayed to tread in the footsteps of the Illinois fashionplate. Now he boasts what the ty editors would call a ‘*simple frock "of rose-colored crepe de chine, while his trousers are of rose-white taffeta, daintily edged with a puckering frill of +H pink. Not to be outdone in this effulgent glory of modern senatorial attire, we find “Battling Bob’? La Follette, senior Sena- tor from the great State of Wisconsin, and erstwhile one of our most rampant insurgents, clothed in a meek garb of old- blue ch silk, with a wide girdle of pansy-tone velvet, all of which serves as a background for a sunset-colored cravat that almost makes you forget the fighting days of our Badger hero. “Isn't he perfectly exquisite!’ sigh the galleries as Senator Kern, of Indiana, approach He is the Democratic leader of the United States Senate. Once be was a candidate for Vice-President. In saner days he boasted a wonderful growth of gray whiskers that lent & solemnly patriarchal effect to an otherwise smiling countenance. But those days are ne more. There will be an insurrection in the pie belt of Indiana when they see him comicbooks.com
