What you’re looking at

This page contains **satirical character sketches of local San Francisco political figures**, rather than traditional cartoons. The visible portraits and text target: - **M. J. Martin**: Identified as "the Republican political boss whose name has been prominently identified with local politics in this campaign" - **Max Popper**: Criticized for registering a "kick in print" against Rainey and Daggett at the Democratic Municipal Nominating Convention, with allegations of political corruption - **W. S. Goodfellow**: A special administrator of an estate accused of failing to protect witnesses and allegedly not living up to his name - **L. M. Manzer**: Described as unconsciously humorous when nominating Eugene Deuprey for temporary chairman The page satirizes municipal corruption, backroom politics, and personal failings of San Francisco's Democratic and Republican operatives during what appears to be an election campaign.
