What you’re looking at

This page presents several satirical sketches for March. The main cartoon depicts two grotesque demon-like figures labeled "The Call of the Wild," likely representing political opponents or warring ideologies, positioned on either side of a domed building (possibly the Capitol). Below are smaller vignettes: one references Oregon electing a woman senator (a notable political development); another shows White River fishermen using electric lights for bait; a third depicts West Virginia tax issues; and the final sketch, captioned "Not a Favorite," shows what appears to be a winter scene. The cartoons mix contemporary political commentary with humorous observations about regional American life, reflecting Life's satirical approach to early 20th-century social and political events.
