Complete HarpWeek Explanation:
National Prohibition presidential nominee John St. John is pictured as a frog
sitting on a lily pad. The image expresses the isolation of a minor-party
candidate, but a sacrifice that St. John was willing to make. (For more
information on his candidacy, see the cartoon explanation for "He Thinks He
Can," and the text of "Minor Parties" in the campaign overview
section.) |
