During our campaign for the temperance movement many political cartoons were made to express how people felt about this debatable event. Including ourselves, many thought that prohibition would be a good including the author of this cartoon. In the cartoon above the author wrote Prohibition Party on the man’s arm. This is because the man is pressing down on octopus which is representing all the negative things alcohol directly causes. Including, partnership with thieves and political corruption. Obviously, these things are not good for our society and as the author portrays in his cartoon the only way to stop these things is to make alcohol illegal.
