Wanted - Another Moses: A Humorous Take on Democratic Politics in 1903 This intriguing illustration, titled "Wanted - Another Moses," was published in Puck magazine on September 16, 1903. The cartoon depicts a donkey, symbolizing the Democratic Party, and six of its followers, carrying a cradle labeled "Cleveland's Cradle 1884" into a river. The pyramids in the background serve as a nod to the ancient Egyptian leader Moses, who led his people out of slavery and into the promised land. The scene is a clever play on the biblical story of Moses, highlighting the Democrats' desire for a new leader to guide them to political victory. The "Cleveland's Cradle 1884" reference connects the illustration to Grover Cleveland, who served as the Democratic President of the United States from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897. The cartoon's humor lies in the absurdity of the Democrats attempting to cast off their political past by literally throwing it into the river. The pyramids in the background underscore the weight of history and the challenges of leading a political party. This illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the political satire of the early 20th century, providing insight into the Democratic Party's perspective during a time of transition and change. The use of biblical references and humor demonstrates the power of visual storytelling in shaping public opinion and engaging audiences with political issues.
