Signs and divinations / Will Crawford., Political Cartoon

Illustration shows a vignette cartoon depicting the presidential candidates for the 1908 election, each learning their fortunes regarding the outcome of the election: Norman E. Mack as a palm reader telling William Jennings Bryan that his "line of ambition is phenomenally long. Likewise your line of talk. You can't lose"; Frank H. Hitchcock as a seer gazing into a crystal ball, which shows the face of Theodore Roosevelt, and telling William H. Taft that he sees "nothing but success"; Thomas L. Hisgen is reading cards labeled "W.R. Hearst"; Thomas E. Watson sees the word "Cinch" in the stars; Eugene W. Chafin is reading tea leaves; and Eugene V. Debs is dropping hot lead into a cauldron showing the White House.

L.M. Glackens and S.D. Ehrhart contributed panels to the overall cartoon illustration.
Illus. in: Puck, v. 64, no. 1648 (1908 September 30), centerfold.
