Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 October 1900 — The Foolish Calf. [ARTICLE]

The Foolish Calf.

When Senator Hanna spoke at Youngstown, Ohio, recently, he told a story of a calf that left its mother to run after a steer. Secretary Heath has taken up this idea and developed it into a campaign poster which very artistically depicts Senator Hanna's idea. The calf is seen chasing the steer in the distance; the cow is in the foreground sauntering quietly home, while the hoy stands with uplifted fist shaking it at the calf, saying. "You little fool, you little fool, you d d fool, you’ll he sorry when supper time comes.” The picture is entitled "The Foolish Calf, or a Lesson to Labor,’’ and standing by a fence in front of a cottage are a farmer and a woman, the man with a full dinner pail in his hand. This poster is sure to catch on and in likely to be a good vote getter. When Senator Hanna arrived in Chicago this week it was shown to him and surprised him. He had no idea that Mr Hpsth had been developing bis story.
