Wanted - An Occupant
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Humorous Take on the Vice Presidential Selection Process in 1904 This intriguing illustration from the June 8, 1904 issue of Puck magazine captures the essence of the vice presidential selection process during an era when the role was not yet a major focus of political campaigns. The cartoon, titled "Wanted: An Occupant," humorously depicts the challenges faced by those attempting to recruit a suitable vice presidential candidate. The illustration is filled with several vignettes that showcase the difficulty of catching the elusive vice presidential hopeful. In one scene, a man is shown offering a potential candidate a Cabinet portfolio, filled with important documents and a promising future. In another, a woman attempts to lure a candidate with the offer of a Carnegie Hero Pension, a generous financial benefit for those who perform heroic acts. The vice presidential candidate is also shown being pursued by a group of men on a yacht, the Vice President's yacht Tailenda, and even offered a 10-year lease for a pedestal in the Hall of Fame. Yet, despite these enticing offers, the vice presidential candidate remains out of reach, symbolizing the difficulty of securing a qualified and committed running mate. This cartoon, with its clever use of humor and satire, offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of the early 20th century and the challenges faced by those seeking to fill the role of vice president. It serves as a reminder that the selection process for this important political position has always been a complex and intriguing endeavor.
