Political cartoon commenting on Congressional Representative Mark S. Hogue, 1954

Description:
Photograph of a political cartoon drawn by Adelbert Bartlett. The drawing shows a man walking along a path. At left, a griffin flies over head with “LEFT-WING” printed on its wing. Farther along the path at right is the depiction of an implied crucifixion (as illustrated by “GOLGOTHA” written above three inferred crosses). The cross at center is being constructed with the help of a rope and pulley – the pulley being a diamond pendant. Beneath the cross is a posted flyer referring to Rev. Mark S. Hogue, 16th District Representative, and Democrat. The bill pronounces: “Hogue, yesterday’s candidate, unwitting pawn, [un-American] factions, unsound advice, untenable promises. What is a man profited. if he gain the whole world. yet lose his own soul…?” [Text at bottom:] “16th congressional position already filled. [Text at left:] Coming Election Day. The Sacrifice. Vote early.”
