This cartoon depicts Eugene V. Debs and his quest for the presidency. Debs campaigned while in jail for denouncing the U.S. entry into war.

Text reads:

• Debs is saying: "Anyhow, there are worse places than a front porch!"

  (a reference to Warren G. Harding's "front porch campaign")

• A sign reads:

  Yours for The Presidency

  Eugene V. Debs

  ("Yours for the Presidency" echoes "Yours for the Revolution," a popular sign-off within Socialist circles of the period. See Jack London, or the Appeal to Reason, the most important Socialist newspaper of the era.)

• In his pocket, Debs has a paper marked "Speech"
• Signed "Berryman" (by Clifford K. Berryman)
