...John Tinney McCutcheon, cartoonist for the patrioteering Chicago Tribune, drew a cartoon in which Uncle Sam, irate, directed the Senate investigation to haul a Big Navy Propagandist from under neath a table, where crouched another figure labelled Peace Propagandist. The caption said: "Drag...
...There lay the Spanish defenders, here the besieging U. S. Pacific Fleet, a brood of assorted fighting craft clustered about their proud flagship U. S. S. Olympia. On the battle-stripped U. S. Revenue Cutter McCullouch one Edward Walker Harden, a young newsgatherer on a lark (with Cartoonist John Tinney McCutcheon), swelled with patriotic rapture as he watched Spanish ship after Spanish ship founder. To him the dimly-seen U. S. S. Olympia, hulled five times and her rigging shot away, was the epitome of U. S. naval power, of U. S. naval glory...
...Frank Tinney, famed comedian, suffered a complete nervous breakdown. Speechless, gibbering, he seemed unlikely to recover.

That night the crowds burned bonfires of Chicago Tribunes in the middle of Michigan...
Outstanding in the cartoon history of the 1928 campaign have been: For the Republicans, Cartoonist Thomas Edwards Powers of the Hearst newspapers; for the Democrats, Cartoonist Rollin Kirby of the New York World. John Tinney McCutcheon's work on the Chicago Tribune (Republican) has been, except for his "Tammany Farmers" series,* quiet and conventional. The Tribune has to be wet in Chicago and no organ in the city that gave William Hale ("Big Bill") Thompson to the G. O. P. can afford to go very strongly on the Tammany-corruption theme. The "Tammany Farmers" series has stressed urban ignorance...
