The image accompanied a Leslie's editorial praising Massachusetts voters for reelecting Republican incumbent Coolidge in a state which generally supports Democratic, pro-labor candidates. The editors claimed Coolidge's overwhelming victory against 'the radical forces of the Democratic candidate,' was a sign of clear support for 'Americanism,' equated with conservative politics.
