"Life," June 14, 1928, published by the Life Publishing Company. The magazine has 40 pages and the title at the top of the front cover in red letters over a white background while the terms "Amusement," "News," "Personalities," and "Sport" flank the title. Just below and to the right is the date, while to the left is the price. On a yellow background is an image of twenty-five sets of a man sitting in a chair reading a paper, five of which contain humorous comments on presidential candidates and the last of which recommends voting for Will Rogers, who pseudo-candidacy was announced in a recent issue. Just above this image is one of a Rogers-like caricature chasing a donkey and elephant (symbolizing the two main political parties) with a lasso. At the bottom is the phrase "For President WILL ROGERS." Much of the magazine focuses on humor, especially Rogers' ongoing commentary on his "candidacy." There are other humorous items about the radio, the theater, sports, various American cities, jokes and anecdotes, and letters from readers. With spine abrasions, staple tarnish, and a tear at the top; cover creases, adhesive residue on the front right center, dented corners and the right front edge, and light soiling and stains.Lexicon
