# Explanation for Modern Readers This July 1935 *Judge* magazine page satirizes Republican campaign strategy. The left column's "chain letter" joke mocks Republicans planning their next campaign while supposedly building America for descendants—yet "spending a lot of their money doing it." The main cartoon depicts figures (likely Republican politicians or campaign operatives) gathered around a dead or dying tree labeled "Snagtooth," discussing war. The caption reads: "Hear the good news, Snagtooth? This war, they say, will be the war to end all wars"—a bitter reference to World War I's false promise of being "the war to end all wars." The satire suggests Republicans profit from or exploit war rhetoric while claiming patriotic motives. The barren landscape reinforces the cartoon's pessimistic message about political opportunism.
