The military battlefield was a common visual metaphor for presidential elections, particularly in the final weeks of the campaign. In this Harper’s Weekly cartoon, the Russo-Japanese War serves as an analogy for the 1904 presidential contest. The war originated in competition between the two nations for dominance in the Far East, particularly over Manchuria and Korea. On February 8, 1904, Japan attacked and laid siege to Russian-controlled Port Arthur on the Manchurian peninsula. In March, Japan conquered Korea and by late May had cut off Port Arthur from Russian troops in Manchuria. Japan continued to score victories over the summer and into the fall. A Russian counteroffensive in the fall proved ineffective. President Theodore Roosevelt encouraged the warring nations to declare a ceasefire and negotiate a settlement, which they finally did in the summer of 1905. The next year, Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in helping end the conflict. He was the first American to win a Nobel Prize in any category. |
