What you’re looking at

This political cartoon depicts a golf scene where a large, rotund figure (likely representing a politician or business leader of the era) bends over to putt while smaller figures—appearing to be golfers and officials—confer in the background. The title "In Conference" suggests that important discussions or decisions are happening, possibly satirizing how power brokers conduct business on the golf course rather than through formal channels. The exaggerated physique of the central figure suggests wealth and excess. The composition implies that golf was where real political or business dealings occurred among the elite, away from public scrutiny. Without specific identifying details visible, the exact figures referenced remain unclear, but the cartoon likely critiques informal power structures and backroom decision-making practices common in early 20th-century American politics or business.
