Kite Time - A Political Satire from the Early 20th Century,
EDITORS COMMENTS
this illustration captures a humorous moment during the presidential race of 1904. President Theodore Roosevelt, known for his charisma and popularity, is depicted flying a kite labeled "Popularity" atop a hill, while several Democratic presidential hopefuls below struggle to fly their own kites. To the far left, William Jennings Bryan, a three-time nominee, labors over his kite with a bellows labeled "Moral issue." His tattered kite, labeled "1896 and 1900," carries ribbons symbolizing "Free silver, Populism, Anti-imperialism, and Free riot." Next to him, David Hill holds a kite labeled "Parker boom," while Charles Murphy clutches a kite labeled "McClellan boom" under his arm. Grover Cleveland, a two-term president, lies on the ground next to his fallen kite, labeled "1884 and 1892," with ribbons representing "Tariff reform, Independent vote, and Personal popularity." Richard Olney, holding the string to a kite labeled "Past record," is surrounded by ribbons labeled "1884 and 1892," "Tariff reform," "Independent vote," and "Personal popularity." Arthur Gorman's kite, labeled "Panama blunder," is tangled in a tree branch, while he is entangled in his own kite string. In the center, a little yellow kid, labeled "Willie," is all tangled up in his own kite string, and the kite, lying on the ground, is labeled "Yellow journalism" with the string spelling out "McKinley slanders." This illustration, dated April 6, 1904, provides a glimpse into the political climate of the time, showcasing the challenges faced by Democratic candidates as they attempted to fly their campaigns amidst the winds of public opinion.
