Presidents-Elections

Voting

Large crowds race into Chicago's City Series between the Cubs and the White Sox where the stadium marquee reads "ciTy seRies." A political representative chases one crowd member labeled "Silent Voter" and bearing a striking resemblance to Theodore Roosevelt who states "Aw, don't bother me. I made up my mind in August who I'm going to vote for." The second panel shows men dancing next to a sign with "TR" highlighted in every word. The lower panel shows Thomas Edison, "New Jersey's foremost citizen," endorsing Theodore Roosevelt.

John T. McCutcheon's "Cartoons of the Day," display political ambivalence in the face of America's pastime and the popularity of former Republican president (1901-1909) and 1913 Bull Moose candidate for president, Theodore Roosevelt (TR).
