Previous   Next


cartoon showing seated man labelled legislator surrounded by three men labelled rail road interests, dealer, and milk producer each seeking to gain his attention. At his foot is a baby clutching at his coat tails and in the background is the grim reaper. Caption reads milk in politics - the acute stage of the problem, as the cartoonist sees it. Under these circumstances the legislator is likely to suspend his dilemma by doing nothing at all. Boston Herald, May 17, 1912. Cartoon is signed by Phil Porter.
