JM-215: Three scenes pertaining to the political barometer in the United States, China, and Russia in 1922
Description: Editorial cartoon depicting political sentiments set in three different countries. In the top panel, centered in the United States, a group of men stand around a political barometer debating why the nomination of Republican, turned progressive, and then again Republican, Albert J. Beveridge for senator occurred. In the middle panel, centered on China, General Wu chases General Chang south while one of the injured warriors lies on the ground and says that Wu is hell. General Wu may refer to General Wu Pei-Fu, who was a warlord in China, mostly in the northern and central regions; he was rumored to be dead by General Chang in the Sacramento Union paper in May 1922. The bottom panel, centering on Russia, shows Uncle Sam sitting next to a representative of the Kerensky Government while Soviet Russia looks on and claims not to be related. Soviet Russia is the period of Russia after the tsar lost power in 1917 and before the creation of the Soviet Union in 1922; the government in this interim period was at first led by Prime Minister Prince Georgy Lvov and Minister of Justice Aleksandr Kerensky, but Lenin returned to Russia in 1917 and began to work on regaining his political supporters, which resulted in Kerensky and Lenin vying for power and support later in the interim period.
