# Th' Yanks are comin'! (untitled)

A rural Southern figure with a stubbled chin, battered hat and a mule reads a newspaper headed 'Stassen planning speaking tour through Dixie; Taft may follow' and says 'Th' Yanks are comin'!'. The cartoon depicts the Southern voter in a stereotyped rustic guise reacting to Republican campaign visits; the technique fit (plain-folks, the everyman figure) is weak.
