What you’re looking at

This page features political endorsements for San Francisco Republican candidates in an upcoming election. The left side contains an illustrated allegorical figure (Lady Liberty or similar) as a decorative element. The text reviews Republican candidates for various offices: James C. Nealon (State Board of Equalization), W.S. Wood (State Senator), the City and County Attorney position, Kendrick Soule (Supervisor), Eugene Bert (Senator), J.K. Hobbs (Supervisor), J.H. Widber (Treasurer), Alfred Morgenstern (Supervisor), and John Greany (Democratic nominee for District Attorney). The satire criticizes Democratic governance—particularly Grover Cleveland's administration—while promoting Republican alternatives as more honest and capable administrators for San Francisco.
