| Description | Cartoon shows the ghostly figure of a goat with one horn (labeled "Third Party") gazing at a sign reading "End of the World Due at Midnight February 6, 1925." In February 1925, a small group of Seventh Day Adventists caused a stir when they predicted the imminent end of the world. Berryman's caption refers to the third party (formed by Progressive leaders) that was badly defeated in the November 1924 presidential election. While Progressivism continued to have supporters, its existence as an organized party dwindled away. |
