comments and context

Comments and Context

Cartoonist John Scott Clubb and other Democratic cartoonists were wary of Theodore Roosevelt’s presidential ambitions in 1916. Roosevelt was widely criticized for his “Preparedness” advocacy, and thus depicted as a war-monger. Woodrow Wilson, the incumbent, based his own campaign on the slogan “He Kept Us Out of War.”
