# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains two separate cartoons satirizing American summer politics and civic activities. The upper cartoon mocks the W.P.A. (Works Progress Administration), a New Deal employment program. It shows UFO-like objects descending, labeled "What do you suppose the W.P.A. wants a sewer out here for?" — suggesting absurdity in the program's infrastructure projects. The lower cartoon depicts a birdhouse with a keeper shooing away someone, captioned "All the hotels are filled on account of the convention?" — satirizing the crowding and chaos of a political convention (likely the 1932 or 1936 Democratic/Republican conventions). The accompanying article "A Day With A Liberty Leaguer" describes someone's activist schedule, suggesting mockery of anti-New Deal organization members and their social activities during the Roosevelt era.
