Description

Governor Edward Dunne is greeted upon his return from Washington, D.C. by a bill with human features representing the Illinois State Administration wrapping itself around his legs while looking fearfully at Lieutenant Governor Barratt O'Hara. Dunne states "Calm yourself little one! I shall not go to the Senate and abandon you to such a fate!!!"

Governor Edward F. Dunne (1913-1917) makes his way to Springfield to whip the state administration back into shape, in this political cartoon by Harold R. Heaton.
