EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in American political history, showcasing Warren G. Harding, the 29th President of the United States. The image is a cartoon by Rollin Kirby, published in the New York World on July 1st, 1920. It depicts Harding as "The Canned Candidate in Action" referencing his America First speech delivered on June 29th, 1920, in Washington, D. C. In this thought-provoking artwork, Kirby portrays Harding as a puppet controlled by unseen forces behind him. This clever representation highlights the perception that he was merely a figurehead for powerful interests within the Republican Party during his presidential campaign. The cartoon also symbolizes an early example of political manipulation and propaganda prevalent during this era. It suggests that despite being elected to lead the nation, Harding's actions were predetermined and influenced by others. Warren G. Harding served as President from 1921 until his untimely death in 1923. His presidency was marked by scandals such as Teapot Dome and accusations of corruption within his administration. This print serves as a reminder of both the complexities of American politics and the enduring power struggles that have shaped our nation's history.
