| These two cartoons from the 1912 campaign lampoon
the candidates on various grounds. The one on the top is suggesting
that all three candidates (TR, Wilson and Taft) are maintaining
false fronts while they are all running scared underneath their
public personas. The cartoon on the bottom is a critique both
of Robert M. La Follette, another champion of progressive politics,
and of TR himself. The message is that La Follette has been displaced
by TR as the leading progressive politician of the day. But TR's
progressive politics are also seen as "fallacies," suitable
only to temporarily enthrall the political insurgents in the body
politic (and probably referring to the insurgents in the Republican
Party). |
