Untitled, 03/28/1915
Cartoonist Clifford Berryman’s familiar character, Miss Democracy, voices the hopes of many people that former President Theodore Roosevelt might run again in 1916. Senator William Edwin Chilton of West Virginia had stated to the press his belief that Roosevelt would run for President in 1916. Miss Democracy comments “Oh, I do hope Chilton knows what he’s talking about." Roosevelt’s 1912 run split the Republican Party, thus making it an easy victory for the Democrats. (Ultimately this would not be the case, disappointing one Bull Moose in particular).
