Neither Mr. Bryan nor Mr, Taft has been wickedly assailed by any cartoonist of standing, although both have been subjected to more or less ridicule. However, it Is due to the influence of the cartoon that the average mas thinks of Mr. Bryan as always talking. Mr. Taft as always smiling, "uncle Joe" Cannon aa ' always smoking a high tilted cigar,' Governor Hughes as an "animated feather duster," Senator Till man ns always carrying a pitchfork, Mr. Rockefeller as always playing golf with his wig askew, and Mr. Watteraon as always drinking a mint julep. While he comments on every phase of Ameri can life, the cartoonist Is more at home in the field of politics than elsewhere. And in politics he is mora influential than elsewhere. If you don't believe, ask a politician who has been cartooned. PROSPERITY FOR OPERA INTERESTS (Specltl Dispatch to The Journal.) ' New Tork, Nov, 8.
