The first political cartoon is of an elephant and a donkey- who represent the political parties- plowing a field of Unity For Defense- which was a  current problem- with a man who represents the United States, behind the plow. the tree in the background has a paper nailed to it that says "1940…". this indicates the start of second world war when we are wondering whether to defend ourselves.
