This best known cartoon by John T. McCutcheon (1870-1949), graced the front page of the Chicago Tribune on November 10, 1904, and gave a humorous, visual explanation of the presidential election results. Depicting telltale footprints leading from the Democratic to the Republican column of delegates, McCutcheon pictures Missouri's historic act of breaking ranks with the southern states for the first time since Reconstruction, voting Republican, and thus carrying the state for Theodore Roosevelt. A world famous traveler, war correspondent, and Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist, McCutcheon drew for the Chicago Tribune from 1903 to 1946. |
