EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic political cartoon from 1912, we witness the start of a tumultuous journey towards the White House. The three main contenders in the presidential race are portrayed with their respective party symbols: Republican candidate William Howard Taft on an elephant, Democrat Woodrow Wilson on a donkey, and Progressive Bull-Moose candidate Theodore Roosevelt on a moose. As they set off on the rough road ahead, it becomes clear that this will be no ordinary campaign. The cartoon by Clifford Berryman captures the essence of this three-way race during the Progressive Era. Each rider represents different ideologies and visions for America's future. Taft symbolizes traditional conservatism and stability as he confidently rides atop his mighty elephant. Wilson embodies Democratic values of social reform and equality as he steers his determined donkey forward. Meanwhile, Roosevelt stands out with his unconventional choice of transportation - a moose - reflecting his progressive agenda aimed at challenging established norms. This image serves as a reminder of how fiercely contested this election was, with each candidate vying for support across North America. It also highlights the significance of political cartoons in shaping public opinion during that era. More than just an artistic representation, Berryman's cartoon encapsulates an important moment in American history when these men embarked upon their arduous journey to secure one of the highest offices in the land – ultimately leaving an indelible mark on our nation's trajectory.
