Description | Cartoon shows Senator Hiram Johnson as an Indian, sitting on a stump in his undershirt and pants, peering into a cracked mirror as he paints his face. A knife labeled "1912" is strapped to his side and a tomahawk labeled "1916" lies at his feet. His feathered war bonnet hangs on a stand behind him. Johnson, a colorful California Republican politician, bolted the party in 1912, running for Vice President along with Theodore Roosevelt on the Progressive ticket. In 1916, he was elected to the Senate as a Republican. He helped defeat the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles and in 1920 campaigned for the Republican nomination for president, losing out to Senator Warren Harding. |
