Puck Shoot

EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, published in a political magazine on July 1, 1908, captures the excitement and intensity of the Democratic National Convention in St. Louis, Missouri. In the center, Democratic nominee William Jennings Bryan is depicted as the "Father of the Party," ready to launch the fireworks of nomination, platform, enthusiasm, permanent organization, keynote, issues, nominating speech, second speech, vice presidency, resolutions, and temporary organization. With a determined look on his face and a lit fuse in hand, Bryan stands amidst a sea of supporters, ready to ignite the political season. But Bryan's past opponents, George Gray and John A. Johnson, are cautiously standing back, wary of the potential danger. In the background, Alton Parker, the 1904 Democratic nominee, is shown with his arm in a sling, a reminder of the consequences of getting too close to the fireworks. The caption "Father Will Shoot Them Off" adds to the playful yet ominous tone of the image. The illustration is reminiscent of political cartoons published in Puck magazine, a popular political satire publication of the time. It captures the energy and drama of the Democratic National Convention, as well as the importance of the various components of the nominating process. The use of fireworks as a metaphor for the political process adds to the excitement and anticipation of the upcoming election. Overall, this illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the early 20th century.
