Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: A sign bearing the old campaign saw As Maine goes--so goes the nation burns up on a fire labeled Monday elections. The smoke rising from the fire says that Maine recently voted to stop holding state elections in September. Maine, a man dressed in overalls, a flannel jacket, and a hunting cap, says that Maine didnt want to be different from the 47 other states anymore. In the background, there is a house with a barn, several pine trees, and a stretch of coastline.

I reckon we just got too obsolete, of being different than 47 other states. Maine. Other constitutional changes. Governor to have 4 year place of 2. Bonds, etc., etc. Voted to do away with state elections in September. Old campaign saw. As Maine goes--so goes the nation. Monday election. Since 1820. [in margins: The Way of All Slogans!]
