Who Are You? - The Uninvited Guest Arrives at the Political Stable, July 28, 1909
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing political cartoon, published in Puck magazine on July 28, 1909, depicts an unexpected visitor joining the Democratic donkey and the Republican elephant in their stable. The two major political parties are seen peacefully munching on hay, blissfully unaware of the newcomer. The goat, labeled as the "Consumers Party," has just entered the scene, catching the attention of both the donkey and the elephant. The Consumers Party was a short-lived political movement that emerged during the Progressive Era, advocating for the interests of consumers in the marketplace. The cartoonist's intention is to highlight the potential impact of this new political force on the established political order. The donkey and the elephant, symbolizing the Democratic and Republican parties respectively, are taken aback by the arrival of the Consumers Party, signaling a shift in the political landscape. The stable setting emphasizes the idea of political parties as established entities, while the Consumers Party represents an outsider, challenging the status quo. The cartoonist's use of animals as political symbols adds a playful yet insightful touch to the commentary on the political climate of the time. This illustration serves as a snapshot of the evolving political landscape in the early 20th century, as new voices and ideas began to challenge the dominance of the two major political parties.
