# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains editorial commentary and light humor rather than political cartoons. The main article "That's Small!" critiques Democratic Party leadership, suggesting they need better organization for nominations. It includes satirical observations about small-town gossip, summer resorts, circus elephants, and presidential campaigning. The cartoon at bottom shows people asking to use a fire escape, likely satirizing urban crowding or safety concerns. The right column promotes summer camps for children, framing outdoor experiences as character-building, though the tone seems somewhat tongue-in-cheek about mosquitoes, poison oak, and rain. A poem "Triolet in the Ladies' Underwear" offers whimsical commentary on cotton clouds and sky imagery. The page reflects early-to-mid 20th century American leisure culture and political organization concerns.

JUDGE That’s Small! NNN eee week we visited a town so small the people didn’t have to gossip—they knew. The Democratic Party has plenty of leaders. What is needed is some- body to hold some of them back when the nominating commences. And summer resort owners are sending out cards to their former patrons reading, “We are having a wonderful time. Wish you were here.” What we're asking is that the gov- ernment will let some real brewers muscle in on the beer racket. It's wonderful to meet an old col- lege classmate and hear his friendly voice discussing your insurance, “What are you doing anyway?” “Me?
