Cartoonist Davenport and the Success of Men Assailed by Him a Case in Point. , Salisbury Post. . , TfleMarlon, Ohio, Stor thinks Ho merDavenport, the cartoonist has the unique record of eleojing' more men to office, than any other cartoonist in the country, his method being unique in that he elects men by opposing them.','.'f.The Statf -adds that on the "notable list of men he has "helped t" elect will be found the name of the late ? President McKlnley, the lata Senator, Hanna," Mayor McClellan, of New' Tork; Mayor Busse, of Chicago, and, lately, Mayor Johnson, of Clevej land. And the explanation Is, pos sfbly, that while many cartoonists show In a pleasant way the faults and follies of th candidates they oppose, they do It in a kindly, humorous way, while Davenport's political drawings generally show bitterness." There Is something to ponder over In the case of Davenport , The man appears to be utterly indifferent to the sensibilities of those he is paid to buse. It matters nothing how clean their hands, if Davenport gets the Job he 'holds them up as mon strous creatures. As Jn the case of Davenport so it la in every Instance where for ad vantage of any kind a man la perse cuted' by his enemies, , Not only the American but men, generally have a fair Idea of Justice and" a majority of them ar usually found on Its side.
