EDITORS COMMENTS
- This powerful and iconic political cartoon, published in Puck magazine on June 19, 1912, captures the essence of Theodore Roosevelt's rebellion against the political establishment of his time. The illustration shows a grimacing Roosevelt, dressed as Uncle Sam, with both arms raised in anger. Uncle Sam, symbolizing the American people, is shown in a barrel attempting to hide his nakedness, representing the corruption and vulnerability of the political system. The Republican elephant and the Democratic donkey, both emblems of the major political parties, are depicted in fear and in haste, fleeing the scene. This image encapsulates Roosevelt's call for a break from the traditional two-party system and his commitment to fighting the influence of corrupt political bosses. Roosevelt's decision to run for president as a Progressive Party candidate, also known as the Bull Moose Party, was a response to his disillusionment with the Republican Party and its leadership. He believed that the party had been taken over by corrupt politicians and special interests, and that the American people deserved better. This cartoon, created by an unknown artist for Puck magazine, is a testament to the political upheaval of the early 20th century and the determination of one man to challenge the status quo. The image of Roosevelt as a fierce and unyielding champion of the people would become a defining moment in American political history.
