1 BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION * T HE T WENTIES IN Chicago Daily Tribune POLITICAL CARTOONS Founded in 1847, the Chicago Tribune is one of the oldest American newspapers in circulation. In the 1920s its Republican editorial stand mirrored mainstream American political opinion. Twenty-four political cartoons from the Tribune are presented here two per year from 1918 to 1929 created by the longtime Tribune cartoonists John McCutcheon and Carey Orr, whose instantly recognizable work was widely reprinted throughout the country. To analyze a political cartoon, consider its: CONTENT. First, basically describe what is drawn in the cartoon (without referring to the labels). What is depicted? What is happening? CONTEXT. Consider the timing. What is happening in national events at the time of the cartoon? Check the date: what occurred in the days and weeks before the cartoon appeared? LABELS. Read each label; look for labels that are not apparent at first, and for other written content in the cartoon. SYMBOLS. Name the symbols in the cartoons. What do they mean? How do they convey the cartoon s meaning? TITLE. Study the title. Is it a statement, question, exclamation? Does it employ a well-known phrase, e.g., slang, song lyric, movie title, radio show, political or product slogan? How does it encapsulate and enhance the cartoonist s point? TONE. Identify the tone of the cartoon. Is it satirical, comic, tragic, ironic, condemning, quizzical, imploring? What adjective describes the feeling of the cartoon? How do the visual elements in the drawing align with its tone? POINT. Put it all together. What is the cartoonist s point? QUESTIONS How did the Tribune cartoons reflect the mainstream Republican stand of the 1920s? Which cartoon would you select as the most successful in delivering its point? Why? A Little Premature, But They re Just Tuning Up Chicago Daily Tribune, November 8, 1918 When the Historians Meet to Name the Dying Decade Chicago Daily Tribune, December 29, 1929 * National Humanities Center: AMERICA IN CLASS, 2012: americainclass.org/.

The Messenger was an African American socialist magazine founded in 1917 in New York City by A. Philip Randolph and Owen Chandler. Agitator Dog : Socialist and Communist [Bolshevik] labor activists were labeled agitators by opponents who charged them with aggravating labor unrest to pursue their goal of a total labor takeover of industrial property. Here the cartoonist uses the term to agitate white and African American workers to transcend racial competition and work together in labor unions to gain higher wages.

On April 12, 1924, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an immigration bill that restricted the number of immigrants admitted from any country to two percent of the 1890 U.S. population from that country, nearly eliminating immigration from southern and eastern Europe. The formula remained the law of the land until 1965, when the national origins quota system was replaced by a policy that based admission on skills and family ties with U.S. citizens.
