"There was an old woman who lived in a shoe"

Content Provider	Library of Congress - Photographs
Spatial Coverage	United States
Description	Cartoon shows Senator Robert M. La Follette as the old woman who lived in a shoe, holding a bunch of switches. She is surrounded by fighting and crying children labeled "Socialist," "Communist," "Ex-Bull Moose," "I.W.W.," "Wet," "A.F.L.," "Sore Head," "Farmer," and "Grouch." In 1924, La Follette defied his Republican Party and ran as the candidate of the "Third Party," a loose conglomerate of Progressives, Socialists, Farm-Labor supporters, and disaffected minorities of all kinds. Berryman suggests that the different priorities of these groups will lead to chaos during La Follette's campaign. The cartoonist was in error regarding the Communists, who were repudiated by La Follette and who supported their own candidate.
