# Analysis of Judge Magazine, November 29, 1920 This cartoon depicts turkeys in an outdoor setting, with one turkey addressing others. The caption references "anti-election fudges" and mentions Democrats' opposition to Turkey's disfranchisement, alongside suffrage being granted to "both hen and cock." The satire appears to conflate poultry with political figures, likely using turkeys as metaphors for politicians or voters. The reference to suffrage (voting rights for both male and female) suggests this comments on the recently-passed 19th Amendment (ratified August 1920), while the Turkey reference remains unclear—possibly alluding to a political figure nicknamed "turkey" or using the bird as general mockery of political adversaries. The exact political targets are difficult to determine without additional context about November 1920 events.
