EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, 1948. The Next Speaker" captures a pivotal moment in American history just two days before the election. Created by D. R. Fitzpatrick for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, this cartoon perfectly encapsulates the anticipation and suspense surrounding the presidential preference of the American voter. In this thought-provoking image, we see both Democrats and Republicans anxiously waiting for their turn to speak as they stand side by side. Symbolizing each party are Robert (representing the Democrats) and Daniel (symbolizing the Republicans), who eagerly await America's decision. At the center of attention is an elephant - a well-known symbol of the Republican Party - holding a megaphone, ready to announce its message to Middle America. On one hand, there is hope and determination; on the other hand, uncertainty looms large. This artwork highlights not only voting but also canvassing efforts during this crucial time in history when political campaigns were at their peak intensity. It serves as a reminder that democracy lies in every citizen's hands as they exercise their right to vote. As we delve into this piece from 1948, it becomes clear that it holds timeless relevance even today. It prompts us to reflect on how our choices shape our nation's future and reminds us of democracy's enduring power.
