EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Only a Stepping Stone" captures a thought-provoking political cartoon by W. A. Rogers from October 27,1906. In this satirical artwork, William Randolph Hearst, the American media magnate and newspaper publisher, is depicted dressed as the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz. The cartoon symbolizes Hearst's ambitious pursuit of reaching the White House through his campaign for the governorship of New York. Rogers cleverly portrays Hearst as the Scarecrow, a character famously known for seeking intelligence and wisdom in L. Frank Baum's beloved tale. By donning this costume, Hearst is portrayed as someone who believes that attaining political power will grant him the knowledge needed to govern effectively. The image highlights how politicians often view stepping stones towards higher positions of authority. It suggests that becoming Governor of New York would serve as a crucial milestone on Hearst's path to ultimately become President of the United States. This historical photograph offers us insight into early 20th-century politics and reminds us that ambition can drive individuals to pursue their goals relentlessly. It also serves as a reminder that even influential figures like William Randolph Hearst were not immune to criticism or satire. Overall, this visual representation invites viewers to reflect on the complex nature of political ambition and its role in shaping our nation's history.
