EDITORS COMMENTS
The cartoon "You're Sure It'll All Be on the Up-and-Up, Senator?" by D. R. Fitzpatrick in 1951 captures the political climate of the time, specifically highlighting the Republican party's willingness to turn a blind eye to Senator Joseph R. McCarthy's slanderous tactics for their own gain in the upcoming 1952 Presidential election. In this satirical portrayal, Senator Robert Taft, a Republican candidate, stands at the center of attention. The image showcases various elements symbolizing key aspects of American politics during that era. The elephant, representing the Republican party itself, is depicted as a personification with its trunk holding a briefcase labeled "McCarthyism". This cleverly suggests that McCarthy's controversial methods were being embraced and utilized by his fellow Republicans. The cartoon alludes to the Red Scare and Cold War anxieties prevalent at that time. It highlights how politicians like McCarthy used fear-mongering tactics against alleged communists within American society to win votes and maintain power. Fitzpatrick's artwork raises important questions about ethics and integrity in politics. The title itself sarcastically challenges whether Senator Taft truly believes everything will be done honestly and fairly despite aligning himself with McCarthy's divisive strategies. This thought-provoking piece serves as a reminder of how political ambition can sometimes overshadow principles and values in pursuit of electoral success.
