# JUDGE Magazine Political Commentary, circa 1924 This page from Judge magazine presents political commentary and satirical observations from the 1924 election period. The main cartoon depicts two fashionably dressed women heading to a matinee, with one saying "I've got so much to tell you, my dear. Let's go to a matinee and have a good talk." The accompanying text includes various political jabs: references to Democratic electoral hopes, Colonel Harvey at the Washington Post, Republican candidates (possibly including Gaston Means), and commentary on Senator and state politics. The satire targets politicians' tendency toward self-promotion and the superficiality of political discourse. The image of women escaping to entertainment rather than engaging seriously with politics reflects 1920s social attitudes about gender and civic participation.
