“Trying to Catch the Colored Vote”
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to folklore, putting salt on a bird’s tail allows you to catch it. In this Harper’s Weekly cartoon, presidential nominee Theodore Roosevelt applies the method in an attempt to capture blackbirds, which represent the black vote. The bull moose on the salt bag is a symbol of his Progressive Party, and the “Post No Bills” warning on the fence is a pun referring to President William (Bill) Howard Taft, Roosevelt’s Republican rival. |
