EDITORS COMMENTS
Or Bust: The Great Race of 1912 - A Political Allegory of the Election Battle between Lincoln and Roosevelt This political cartoon, published in Puck magazine on September 25, 1912, offers a humorous yet insightful commentary on the intense competition between two prominent political figures during the presidential race of that year: Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. The illustration depicts a large, imposing bull labeled "Lincoln," with the head of the 16th President, standing amidst the reeds of a swamp. Nearby, a puffed-up frog labeled "Roosevelt" perches on a piece of driftwood named "Progressivism," in a pool of water labeled "Practical Politics." The frog's determined expression and outstretched legs suggest his readiness to leap forward and challenge the established figure of Lincoln. The cartoonist masterfully employs the use of symbolism to convey the essence of the political climate during the 1912 election. The swamp represents the murky waters of politics, while the bull and the frog symbolize the two candidates, Lincoln and Roosevelt, respectively. The labels "Or Bust," "Progressivism," and "Practical Politics" provide further context, highlighting the importance of these ideologies in the election. The date of the publication, September 25, 1912, places this cartoon at a pivotal moment in the campaign, as both candidates were actively campaigning and gaining support from the American electorate. This image serves as a testament to the political satire and commentary that shaped public discourse during this period, offering a unique perspective on the election and the candidates' positions. With its clever use of symbolism and humor, this political cartoon continues to fascinate and engage viewers, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past and the rich history of American politics.
