When Publisher Hearst was a Democrat, Cartoonist Powers invented his famed figure, the "Interests." It was his pen also which identified the late Marcus Alonzo Hanna with the dollarsign. This year the "Interests" have been cleverly brought back to suit the shift in Hearst politics and, between them, the Messrs. Powers and Brisbane have personified the present-day Democracy as a female donkey called "Diamond Lil."

Editor White retracted the more disgraceful part of his charges. The G. O. P. at no time took official credit or responsibility for the White work. Many another cartoon was drawn about this episode. In his retraction, issued just before sailing to Europe, Editor White said : "I'm throwing no mud at. Governor Smith." A picture at once suggested itself and was drawn ? a little man on the stern...
