Running the gauntlet / Will Crawford., Political Cartoon

Illustration shows a small man labeled "Consumer" badly bruised after running between two rows of Native Americans labeled "Provision Trust, Ice Trust, Fuel Trust, Butter & Egg Trust, Clothing Trust, [and] Copper Trust" who have beaten him with a sack of "Self Rising Flour" and a "Sugar Cured" ham, a coal scuttle, bundle of wood, a "Gas Meter", ice tongs, eggs, copper coins, and a bolt of cloth with boots, socks, and gloves attached.

Caption: And every year he votes as though he liked it.
Illus. in: Puck, v. 65, no. 1685 (1909 June 16), centerfold.
