The dapper figure on this Judge cover is Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota. In early March 1908, he was endorsed for president at his state’s Democratic convention, and twenty days later announced that he would accept the nomination. Here, he waves a “Minnesota Delegate” handkerchief and winks at Madame Democracy, who replies that she loves him (“the Prince”), as well. In the background, a frustrated William Jennings Bryan appears as the rival suitor.
