What you’re looking at

This page contains three satirical cartoons mocking prominent figures: 1. **Top left**: Senator Heflin with a periscope, ridiculing his alleged paranoia about Catholic/papal influence in America—a reference to anti-Catholic sentiment of the era. 2. **Top right**: Will Hays, Hollywood's chief censor, depicted fleeing to impose film censorship while allegedly involved in a scandal involving bonds from Sinclair (likely oil magnate Harry Sinclair of the Teapot Dome scandal). The satire suggests Hays prioritizes controlling public morality while being personally compromised. 3. **Bottom**: KKK members in robes holding an "unmasking ceremony," likely mocking the organization's secrecy and hypocrisy while commenting on the era's broader moral contradictions. The page satirizes American power brokers' selective moralism.
