EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, published in Puck magazine on September 21, 1904, captures the essence of the Republican Party's campaign spirit during the presidential election that year. The procession is led by Vice-Presidential candidate Charles W. Fairbanks, followed by President Theodore Roosevelt riding on horseback. The Republican elephant, a symbol of the party, proudly displays banners proclaiming "World Power and Empire," "Rooseveltism," "High Protection," "Prosperity," "Open Door Treasury," "Good Crops," "Increased Population," and "Fine Weather." The elephant's collection of banners reflects the Republican Party's platform, emphasizing their commitment to national strength, economic growth, and agricultural success. Surrounding the elephant are prominent figures of the time, including George B. Cortelyou, who is collecting donations from the crowd, Leslie M. Shaw, J.P. Morgan, and John D. Rockefeller. The presence of these influential men underscores the political and financial might of the Republican Party during this era. This illustration, with its lively and colorful depiction of the Republican campaign, is a testament to the political climate and the power of symbolism in shaping public opinion during the early 20th century.
