The Star in the East - The Tariff Issue Guides the Democratic Contenders,
EDITORS COMMENTS
this illustration from the February 14, 1912 issue of Puck magazine, depicts a pivotal moment during the Democratic primary race for the presidency. In the arid desert landscape, five Democratic candidates - Woodrow Wilson, Judson Harmon, Champ Clark, Oscar W. Underwood, and William Jennings Bryan - are seen following a star labeled "Tariff Issue." The star's ethereal glow illuminates their determined faces, as they lead a donkey laden with an overburden of pledges, symbolizing their commitments to various factions within the party. The tariff issue was a contentious topic during the 1912 Democratic primary, with each candidate vying for the support of labor unions, farmers, and business interests. The illustration masterfully captures the political intrigue and complexity of the election, as the candidates navigate the desert, each hoping to be the one to reach the star and secure the party's nomination. This image, created by an unknown cartoonist for Puck magazine, offers a unique glimpse into the political landscape of the early 20th century and the intense competition among the Democratic contenders. The star in the east may have been a beacon of hope and guidance, but the journey to reach it was filled with challenges and obstacles, making the outcome of the primary all the more uncertain.
