“A Little Forecast of Coming Events” Cartoonist: Edward Windsor Kemble Source: Harper's Weekly Date: September 14, 1912, p. 9 In early September, supporters of Woodrow Wilson interpreted results of the Vermont state election as evidence that the Democratic nominee would win the presidential election in early November. Harper’s Weekly editor George Harvey declared categorically, “Vermont spells Democratic victory.” This E. W. Kemble cartoon appeared in the same issue as Harvey’s analysis of the early state election. The Republican Elephant and Progressive Bull Moose have slid in a jumble to the bottom of the hill to the glee of the high-kicking Democratic Donkey. The Democratic Party did not actually win the Vermont state election, but the state was so thoroughly Republican that the GOP’s smaller than usual plurality was read as an indication of a general national trend away from the Republican Party in 1912. In the 1908 Vermont state election, Republicans polled about 30,000 and Democrats 16,000; however, in 1912, Republicans received just over 26,000 to Democrats’ 20,000, and Progressives’ 16,000. The Democratic total was the largest ever recorded in the state to that date. In November 1912, as predicted, Wilson won the national election, while Vermont was one of only two states that Republican William Howard Taft carried (the other was Utah). The results of the presidential vote in Vermont were: Taft, 37%; Progressive Theodore Roosevelt, 35%; Wilson, 24.5%, and less than 2% for Prohibitionist Eugene Chafin and Socialist Eugene Debs.

An Indian lying down displaying his extreme skill in handling the bow and arrow. It occupies the center of the image, however, a little distant, stands another Indian in the same position and, farther back, a third archer, standing, also shoots his arrow in the wild and natural landscape, in which no sign of colonizers can be identified. If the image (nudity, use of indigenous weapons, wild landscape) could suggest that we are in front of a "wild Indian", the title of the painting of Caboclos or civilized Indians and the text to which it corresponds, Village of São Lourenço, leave no doubt about the classification given by Debret to the characters: these are caboclos - "civilized Indians", generic name that, in the province of Rio de Janeiro, was given to "every civilized and baptized Indian." The archer was the object of Debret's gaze, a caboclo of São Lourenço, who lived in intense contact with colonial society, yet maintained his skill with the bow and arrow and placed himself in that manner to attract the admiration of foreign travelers. According to the description, it was common to find them among the civilized of the villages, Indian archers, perhaps disdainful, interested in exhibiting their dexterity to the strangers who passed by. If that was the goal, it seems to have been achieved, at least with Debret. The cited text evinces the admiration of the artist for the Indian's ability, evidence reinforced by the option to portray him, associating it in the text about the village of São Lourenço
