From: [Ephemera relating to politics and elections in New Zealand. 1900-1909]

Reference: Eph-B-POLITICS-1905-01

Description: Flyer, with the front showing a caricature drawing of a slovenly drunk woman who is singing the praises of political candidate Alfred Richard Barclay, and vowing to vote for him. She criticises "Mister Bedford" (Henry Dodgshun Bedford). A small "sequel" shows her in a worse state, beggining for her voting papers back because she accidently voted for Bedford instead of Barclay. The verso shows advertisements for retailers Laidlaw & Gray, for Thurmer pianos from the London Organ & Piano Company, and for the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand. This flyer is probably a political campaign poster for Harry Bedford, who supported Temperance; hence the unattractive drunk woman who was too confused to vote for her choice (Bedford's opponent Alfred Richard Barclay). It may also have been a criticism of women's political judgement. Bedford had entered parliament in 1902 at the age of 25 with a huge majority, but the declining fortunes of New Liberal Party which he joined, meant that he lost the seat in 1905. Barclay won.

Description: The first scene of the Election paintings shows a great feast in an inn. In the dining room are seated drunk men, who sprawl and whisper, sweat and cajole. Musicians with two violins, a cello and bagpipes are performing at the back. A brick has just missed the mayor, who is being bled by an aporthecary after over eating on oysters, and has knocked out the Election agent, who crashes back on to pewter plates and uneaten lobster. A second brick is flying through the window, and in return men are hurling stools and emptying chamber pots, while other armed with staves are beating off a crowd hammering on the door. In the centre foreground, a man is pouring gin over the head of another man, while a servant prepares a bath on the left. A sign in the front indicates that an election will take place in eleven days. The candidates themselves are almost lost in the scrum: at the far end of the table young `Sir Commodity Taxem', said to be based on Pitt's supporter, Thomas Potter, warily lets a fat old woman embrace him, while a little girl covetously fingers his ring. Behind him, his fellow candidate, looking very battered and wearily smoking his pipe, is being pressed by a cobbler and a barber. But the Whig flag of `Liberty and Loyalty' above him is less to the point than the escutcheon on the wall, with its motto `Speak and have'. Coins and promises are being exchanged in all corners. In front of the candidates a Quaker sourly reads a note for £50, payable in six months; behind the swooning mayor, a tailor resists the agent's gold coins, but his wife shakes her fist and gestures to their needy son, kneeling at her side. Hogarth's composition helped to make his point. He created a `low' Dutch scene of drunken excess which parodied Leonardo's Last Supper, with its implicit theme of betrayal.
