Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Cartoons in this series discuss political figures, events, and controversies in a general manner. This collection does not contain many cartoons that comment on national politics. However, since D.C. is the seat of government, there was always plenty of political news in the city, so there are a number of drawings relating to the President and Congress generally. Most cartoons here deal with politics directly relating to the District government, such as ones commenting on the performance of the District commissioners, or the actions of Congressmen on the District committees.

Abstract

Caption: none Description: “D.C.” argues with West Virginia Senator Jennings Randolph over a 100 percent gas tax boost. “D.C.” says, “It smells like an oil trust!” and Randolph replies, “But I only handled it for Virginia—that is Virginia Jenckes, now a private citizen of Indiana!”
