# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains two satirical cartoons mocking American politics, likely from the early 20th century. **"Soft Ones"** (top): A chaotic pile of politicians tumbles together, captioned "F'gosh sake, how did you get there!" The accompanying text jokes about politics creating "strange fellows" and references New York City's upcoming municipal lottery, suggesting politicians will resort to endorsing questionable ventures. **"The Political Situation"** (bottom): Shows a figure juggling multiple heads/candidates representing various political parties and platforms—Progressive Republican, Conservative Republican, Liberal Democrat, Socialist, Farmer-Labor, etc. The caption "Do you know any other games?" satirizes the confusing proliferation of political tickets and candidates, mocking how many competing ideologies and parties make American politics bewilderingly complex.
